Coping with implants
hi. Just wondering how long it takes to get used to implants. I hate the feeling. Feels like my skin is loose and rippled when I an lying down. I was also totally unprepared for lack of any feeling in...

Thank you ladies for your feedback. It has been a big help to me and I'm sure JulieP as well. I was thinking about the rippling which I have noticed too. It is probably not dissimilar to our natural breast when we lie down. The muscles relax, all the tissue softens and falls to the side. Our breasts look quite different between standing up and laying down. It all becomes the new normal which can take a bit of getting used to.
I loved hearing that Louise and DaisyMarigold were both doing energetic sports - gives all of us who are newly post op confidence that we can also regain that vitality. I just need to stop treating my implant as if it was made of glass!!
I hadn't thought of an Aaah bra - great idea Christine!
My husband and I are travelling to Europe early December (booked months before my diagnosis and put on hold til I got the all clear - IDC, Stage 1, nodes clear, no chemo/radio, Arimidex only). It is perfect timing and another reminder to make the most of our lives. I have a goal to be fit and healthy for all the walking we will do!
Hope you doing well Julie, best wishes to all.
