Yesterday was a good day since I got to see my great frind B (not her real name) and her husband. She and I have been friends since elementary school and have a whole lot of history, albeit lately in diffferent time zones and sometimes on differenet continents. She and I both love to travel. The 14 mos preceeding their wedding, the two spent time on several cruise ships providing entertainment (they’re both dancers, entertainers, very talented, she hangs from silks 30ft off the ground now) and were able to see most of the countries of the Medeterranian, Baltic and Carribean. Pretty cool. Anyway, besides being able to catch up with them the highlight of their visit came at the very end when she showed me her boob.
We have a boob thing. When we were in college, she didn’t have much in the way of cleveage but she started taking birth control and voila! boobs were the side effect. She showed me hers then too. We used to bra shop together and it was clear that we don’t wear the same style. She’s all perky and can wear those cute push up things and I’m more bottom heavy and its effort to create real cleavage for me.
Well, this past Feb, she had a mastectomy on the right boob (for some reason I kept thinking it was the left…but I’m wrong). Surgery went well and she’s back to performing but in preparation for reconstruction, her doctors put a spacer in the affected boob and have gradually expanded it preparing for an implant. The spacer is hard…like rock hard. I hugged her and thought she was carrying a consealed weapon. Anyway, not only did she show me the progress, but I felt the spacer and she described the process AND the fact that her kick-ass doctors were able to keep the nipple is unusual. She’s in some test group. I always knew that she was a fighter, a very determined and directed individual but she’s also very strong and doesn’t take the first answer she gets. She knows what she wants and will do the research, reading, talk to people to find the right information to match her needs. She’s a superhero who flys through the air and an inspiration to me.
I hope she wears the new bra and panties I gave her in the ultimate good health!
