*huuuugs NSP* If she's that body-conscious they really are doing FABULOUS things with reconstructive surgery. It's almost impossible to tell any more!

My aunt just had a double mastectomy a few months ago and recovery really is painful. The recovery bra helps a LOT though! My aunt absolutely REFUSED to for weeks, but once she did she was amazed at how much a difference it made with the pain. Does she have someone to help her with the recovery period? My aunt had quite a bit of muscle removed as well and still has problems lifting her arms, even to drive. She's also (and this is gross) going to need help emptying those shunts once she gets up and around.

You guys are such good friends!!!! I hope she makes a full recovery and I'm shooting as many good vibes as I can muster your way!!!

Yeah we know about the tubes, I'm not ooked out about it though, my dog had a drain in it's ear and I was the only one in the house who could clean it out.

She really is a gorgeous girl, I had a small crush on her in HS, but she was turned down by a crush she had because she was "fat and ugly". She's never recouped since, and she won't believe anyone else when they tell her how beautiful she is. And now this...
