Breast Reconstruction

Breast Reconstruction is what they call the cosmetic surgery following a masectomy. Many women want the proceedure as breasts are a definition of femininity. Our culture is breast obsessed, albeit in a dysfunctional and twisted way. For some it's not polite or considerate to breast feed in public, while breasts, partly concealed in a little black dress is considered chic.

When Pace asked me what I thought about the reconstruction, I suggested that maybe she go for one size bigger and get a "C" cup. (Note to the guys, if your girl asks this question, she proably doesn't want an answer.) Her retort can only be catagorized as quid-pro-quo.

Dr. Rami said that 100% of the husbands say the same thing and that given her frame and mass, Pace's breasts we already on the large size. plus they have to remove some skin and the nipples in the operation so "going big" is not recommended.

Sigh...

Just to give you some perspective, I am a "C". Next we would have to be reading about Pascales back surgery!

LOL

So I think the Doctors are right...

Good luck tomorrow, we will be thinking of you.
