Prosthetics pt 2

I expressed my feelings about the prosthetic lady to my husband. And he always sees things differently than I do, or should I say he keeps me grounded...(I love him for that). And he said I should give her another chance. He said something I didn't think of, he said my whole cancer experience all my doctors, nurses etc has made it all about me, and making sure I was happy. But for Nancy (the owner of the prosthetic shop) She is a business owner and she is trying to make money and he said I should give it another chance before deciding to go somewhere else.

So I did just that, I called them back to ask a question, and her assistant Linda told me to come in, and get fitted. So I came in and tried on about 10 or so bra's and prosthetics. To see what worked with the size I wanted, which is at least a D cup...(I used to be a double D). While I was that Nancy came in and she was really nice. She told me she ordered some prosthetics that was more my skin color, cause all they had in store was white ones. And while she was fitting me, she noticed that my I needed what is called an compression bra to help with the swelling of my chest muscles. So she fitted me for the compression bra, put some fabric breast forms in there. To help the bra compress.

My brown prosthetics should be in next week along with the bra's I wanted, and I was really surprised to see they really had some cute bra's.

So all in all I'm happy I listened to my husband, and gave them another chance. I was really pleased with the service that I received, and now I can't wait for my prosthetics to come in...
