    You know, I never had problems with that until after chemo. It doesn't happen all the time, but occasionally I have just a teeny little leak!!

    So good to see you GMA!!

    I only leak a bit but if I sneeze, laugh or have to run - all bets are off. Hence the poise lights.

    I guess maybe that's a normal thing as we get older? Or, maybe it's a menopause thing? Didn't happen to me until after chemo, but chemo did slam me into menopause. I've spoken to a few older women that have the same thing.

    Ok ladies I'm up off the stairs but still struggling - I went up to see the grandsons as I had an appt with my PS up their way. Going home tomorrow - Had Grandma day at little GS's preschool last friday - pictures coming later.

    Saw my plastic surgeon Wednesday - he will be doing an "in office" revision in July or August - The open wound scar is very thin and keeps opening. He wants to pull it together and give it better skin to heal - He will also fix the dog ears. He also mentioned that he used to have a cone shaped device that he uses for lipo in office, but they don't use it anymore. He said he would figure out away to still do the lipo 'in office' so not to cost me more money. He still is suggesting I do a 3-D tat on my breast with no nipple or would be happy to try to make me a nipple. Told me to think about it - that I deserve to look nice. Anyway - I am concerned - it is the radiated side he wants to add the nipple to and with LE in the torso also - I just don't think it is worth the risk of cellulitis or another open wound. It did heal well from the reduction/reconstruction. At my age, I'm just not sure its necessary..

    So glad you found this thread mjh.

    One night when you can't sleep, go to the beginning and read.
    I've spent hours on end being entertained while going through treatment.

    slowdeep -  love that pic.  Laughter is always the best medicine.

    FK - yes, I found you.  you're weren't getting away from me that easy.

    You're right about there being no cure for stupid.  When I went to the hospital for preop testing before my BMX the nurse actually asked me if I wanted to have my breasts examined because now they offer breast exams as part of pre-op.  I said to her if you want to get a feel, knock yourself out but they're being chopped off next week so I really don't see the point.  Yep, can't cure stupid!!!!

    hahaha magdalene!

    I about fell out of my chair on that one!!

    We really gotta laugh at this stuff or we'll go crazy.

    If you could only hear the millions of jokes I've told about my half a butt cheek.

    Although I must admit, not everyone always appreciates my gallows humor. lol

    Laughter really is the best medicine.

    I haven't posted here in a long time but I know its a good place to vent! I'm 3 years out from my UMX, 2 years Post TX and also 2 years post the breakup up of my 17 year relationship with my ex. Ya, he gets a star. Just getting on the recon train due to TX fatigue if you get my drift. Anyway, she asks me "hows the sex life these days?", I say "Non existent actually". She's says "Oh come on, what's your problem, you need to get out there". Really?! I explain that it's difficult to open up to anyone intimately particularly only having one breast and to lets move on to another subject please. BTW this gal had her own BC scare a few years ago and all she could talk about was her lumpectomy scar. You really can't fix stupid!
