Things I wonder about

We were in Macy's and I saw some really cute shirts that I thought would look nice on me.  Then I remembered that I can't really shop for anything-  Truth is, I need to shop for some clothes, but I don't know what.  I have form fitting tops, v-neck tops, shaped tops...I can't wear any of those afterward- I guess I need to look at big ugly tshirts? I have no idea?  Or maybe a button up top will make it less obvious?  Wait a minute, maybe they will give me a bra that has a fake boob in it? 
Then I was thinking about my hair.  I am going to get it trimmed next week so that it looks really nice.  Then I am also going to color it again.  I am going to have fabulous hair until I don't.  And then there are more things to wonder about: wigs, scarves, boldly going bald....so many options.  I think I will want 1 nice wig at least- but I am not sure how it will work out.  I am very sensitive to things that don't feel good, especially itchy or tight.  But then again- I will go to great lengths for vanity.  Someone suggested a tattoo on my head.  Really, I think that is SO awesome!  I brought the idea up to Jim today and he thought a big dragon would be cool.  I think a big arrow would be nice- like Ang on The Last Airbender.  How cool would that be?  Well, unless they made the arrow too far onto my forehead and when my hair grew back there was only this odd little arrow point sticking out.  It would be really cool to have a tattoo on my head though, but I am pretty sure I couldn't do it.   
And while we are talking about tattoos- the last part of breast reconstruction is putting new nipples and areolas on.  Then they tattoo the areola to make it the right color.  A friend suggested I get glow in the dark ink put in there.  ahahahahahaha- that would be fun!

  1. One thing that 2 of my friends really liked having after their surgery was a very comfy and pretty pair of pajamas with a button up top. Button up tops make it easier to get on and off.

  3. Immediately after the surgery and during radiation (f you go that route) you'll want loose and comfortable tops. I got zip up the front sports bras because they were easiest for me, but "your mileage may vary". :) Depending on what kind of reconstruction you go with after, you may not be able to wear form fitting tops for a while. Talk to your surgeon?
