Prosthesis or not?
I am healed and recovered and back at super speed.
What I have never addressed nor felt the need for was a prosthesis. Why, I don’t know, it is just a divot, that is what I have — a divot.
My standard joke is I have a C and an A and if I rolled the C up maybe it would equal it out.
I have bought bras with padding and no underwire (many doctors tell you not to wear an underwire after you have had breast surgery).
I just never could wear an underwire — my chest cavity just doesn’t conform to that.
I remember wearing an underwire strapless bra for my wedding and half way through the day, I had to head to the restroom as it was all but to my waist, all of it.
Who invented those things anyhow?
Hence, my theory — I am just not built right!
No one ever really talked to me about the possibilities and I never really figured I was a falsie kind of gal. With my luck, the prosthetic would be on my shoulder at some point or falling out at the bottom and I just wasn’t comfortable about having to deal with an added issue in the morning routine.
I have since learned there are some amazing products out there and there are ways to make sure it is not going to end up where it is not needed.
I may even try some of these products out some day as the years bring more of my issues to the forefront, literally but for now I am content.
I will say for those that have the interest, the products are out there and a very viable option and I will never say never.
I just will say not now.
