Re: Need a giggle? Look here!
Denise, you make me laugh. I wish we lived closer together. we have so much in common it seem. i am getting the new boob july 12- even same surgery as you. it is a hard decision, wonder if it is that way for anyone else out there? i want a new boob, tired of fighting with the bra and the looks in certain shirts etc.. while I am Sooooooooooo happy to be alive and a survivor i still want the boob. I worry cause it is major surgery 6-8 hours surgery and 3-5 days in hospital, i sometimes ask myself is it really worth it. But i want my cleavage back and to be perky again. i had some funny jokes but no idea how to post them on the board.
Keep us laughing denise. you are awesome and an inspiration to me!!
