Breast Cancer - recovery 6 surgeries & loosing the plot in a funny way


I thought I would share something to make you laugh today. After surgery you should rest and relax, get those drugs out of your system and sleep.(also drink champagne) Well, this is easy as really that's how you feel, but saying that after 3 days in bed it is time to get up and get your priorites happening. First sponge bath, as you must not get those bandages wet. then clean jama's then we must do the hair and make up. What I have decided for me is every morning, I need hair done, mascara and lipstick even if I am ill. Funny, I can't dump this habit, but when you look good you feel so much better. That's what I have in my head anyway. It works for me. Now for the funny part, as my routine is probably the same for some woman. Sometimes I wish I was not a hair and makeup, dress up girl...lol
No undies on as need to rest those arms and not have the pressure of pulling them up. For 1 week I walked everyday in my jama's. As I am at Pott's Point and the fashion can be ever so crazy and ever so weird, I wore black silk jama's with a coat and ugg boots (I know the vision is appauling). But guess what no one knew and to top it off the shops I go to said, you look well and good how are you? I did not say do you like my PJ's but secrets are fun and even my japanese Pj bottom's red and black still people did not know...

If you knew me, I normally would not be caught dead or around the house like this ever. I am always dressed and well grommed first thing. Of course it was for just a week but now I can say I shopped in my PJ's in my recovery, hey with make up and hair done though.....

In a way, crazy fashion helps us cancer patients hide the facts...

"Hard nipples" - areola or nipple skin

Someone once wrote"... when i get really cold, or get goosebumbs all over my body, the whole things really scrunch up, like, my entire areola scrunches itself up into a wrinkled little mound. it looks really weird and ugly, and i haven't ever seen other people's breasts do it. what is wrong with my areola/nipples??" The answer: Well nothing is wrong. This is what my areola does too. It's a normal reaction to the coldness or to irritation / stimulation. The little muscles in the areola do a similar goosebump thing as your other skin can do. People often call this phenomenon "hard nipples". Also note that skin on areola has less feeling or sensation to it than other areas of your body. If the areola was very sensitive, then breastfeeding would probably be quite uncomfortable because the baby pulls and tugs it! The nipples are sensitive but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as occur at mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also this v...

Loosing a parent!

When a Parent Dies: Dealing with the Loss of Your Mother or Father By David Kessler This is spot on. I guess until you go through this you will never know.  #parents #love #grief #davidkessler #survivor #iamstillawoman  When a parent of an adult dies, there is almost an unspoken expectation that it will not hit you head on. An adult is expected to accept death as a part of life, to handle all sudden losses in an appropriate adult manner. But really, what does that mean? That you should not be sad? That you should be so grateful they didn’t die when you were a child that you don’t need to mourn your parent? The above considerations demonstrate an under-estimation of grief. Grief is the reflection of the connection that has been lost. That loss does not diminish because you are an adult or because your mother or father lived a long life. Our society places enormous pressure on us to get over loss, to get through the grief. But how long do you grieve for the man who...
