You go, girl!!!! Whatever you decide! It's a pain in the neck to be "lopsided", even if it did save our life! We can be grateful and inconvenienced also. I think it's a hard decision, but only those who have walked in your shoes could have any idea what it's like. Good luck on a brave decision! No matter what you do, you're great! ma
