Something lighthearted......
Don't think I'm insane........ but a week after my mastectomy, I was first asked what size bra I took, to which I said "oh about a 12CC maybe, just maybe even up to a 14? With the air of a conjuror, I was handed a "boob insert" as the breast care coordinator called it. I was kind of flummoxed. It was HUGE! I was told to pick out the dacron filling to suit myself and sent home.
Dear Lord, it was huge. Too big for any bra (even sports bras!) and if I took more than two steps it shot out of the bra and whatever top I was wearing. Then I remembered a lady I had talked to a few weeks earlier before the surgery, and how she had laughingly said that 100 years ago women would cut a sock up and fill it up with bird seed!
I am now the proud owner of approximately 6 "boob inserts" filled with budgie seed! Guess what? I'm depressed to say you can barely tell the difference - they both sag exactly the same!! hahahaha I'm so happy with them, I doubt I will bother with anything else now. It is totally tailored to how I want it, it's not heavy, and it's a great way to amuse yourself (if not in a public place) by shaping and reshaping it lol
Hope this makes a few smile

Hello Barb
Congratulations on still having a sense of humour - and a practical mind (and hand) to go with it.
I am glad I am not the only one with an 'unusual' sense of humour. I do think it makes us happy to be able to make fun of an otherwise tense time in our lives.
Must go and raid the bird seed packet ....
Hugs Summer :-)

lol Tracey, I have a cockatiel and so far he's not remotely interested. And the magpies LOVE me around here - I chop grasshoppers in half and toss them to the maggies - I usually have a faithful flock following me when I even walk up the road LOL

LOL Summer, I try always to have a sense of humour - tho that has been tested the past couple of days with the chemo really knocking me sideways. ugh. I turned into my Father whilst waiting to go into theatre - and told the most dreadful jokes. When I woke up it was to find myself in a ward with 3 men (!!) Nothing personal to any gentleman if they read this - but geeeeeeeeeez louise I hate sharing a ward with men. The sound effects they manage to squeeze out through all of their orifices is not pleasant! But I must admit ours wasn't a quiet ward - and the staff seemed to gravitate to us as well and there was lots and lots of laughter. Made the two days in hospital go incredibly fast.
*Hugs* back Summer .... (and no groping my bird seed!) lol

Certainly made me laugh. I'd need to fill a santa hat to get the right effect...I'm hoping to trade up with my mastectomy.
