A Difficult Day
Dear Bosom Buddy,
I am so sorry that you even have to be reading this. Who would have ever thought that becoming a member of the Bald and the Breastless at age 47 would lead to Look Better Than You Feel? After my mastectomy and dreaded drains, I wore my robe home from the hospital. I did not want to go anywhere because I had nothing to wear. I certainly didn’t feel like shopping. I ended up wearing an old swimsuit under a dress for my first outing. Even though I felt like I’d been in a war, I didn’t want to look like it!
It was hard enough to squeeze cancer into the schedule of a busy wife and mother. Combine the unsightly drama of hiding the trauma in clothes and my precious mother following me six months later with a double mastectomy, in faith, I had to pull myself up by my brastraps! I got busy creating this pretty practical garment for you, my sweet Mama, and me! I have not put on an ugly hospital gown for follow-up appointments since. Between my surgeon, oncologist, radiologist, lymphedema therapist, and plastic surgeon, undressing was cumbersome. Think of all the time you'll save on unending check-ups or daily treatments by not having to get undressed!
On Independence Day when those awful drains come out, celebrate cutting out the light-weight, mesh drain pockets inside. No one will ever know you are wearing a medical garment and you will certainly Look Better Than You Feel!
