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 :))
