New "ta-ta" for Mamma!

On Monday I went for a little drive to a lady who sells "breast forms" (prosthesis). I was obviously VERY excited to get a real bra and, well of course, another "fill in" boob! It was great and she is SO nice, so helpful, so patient... just perfect at her job. I am not exaggerating! We spent 2 hours trying on different mastectomy bras and breast forms. They are made form silicone and if it gets cut or punctured (LOL... Has she met my youngest??) all I have to do it put duct tape or a band aid over it. It even has a NIPPLE!!!! Not that it shows or anything but I just thought it was kinda funny.

I was joking and asked her if she wanted the donation of my old foam fakey... I can't remember her response to that question, but she did tell me that she did take donations of older forms as some women can't afford them. The baby I ended up with is apparently the lightest and perkiest (guess the old sock on the right ain't doin' too bad!), but to the $$$ amount of $370.00! I truly feel blessed that we can afford one. They are guaranteed for 2 years, at which time you can get a new one and donate the old one. I will do this with mine for sure. I can't honestly imagine a woman having to go without because of money. It truly made me feel "normal" (was I before) again and I would hope that any woman could have this feeling no matter her circumstance.

I also learned a lot and I am thankful for people with knowledge of things where I have little or none at all. J made it a great experience and I would recommend her to anyone!
