Thank you Michelle, I really appreciate all the help. I was feeling very alone and afraid. No one understood. I do have a BBC that I can call, and I haven't been able to make the support group that is 45 min away. I will when the weather gets better here (near Milwaukee, WI). I could not believe the overwhelming response of support I have recieved here! I was so very touched that so many people cared to respond. Much of what I am going through is emotional, and I know I need support. I found it here, and I am truly grateful. I am a registered nurse and I feel lost in this process. I feel misunderstood, and my concerns go unanswered because most people don't know what or how to comfort you. Knowledge is power, it is a way to feel more in control even when everything is out of your control. I just wish my doctor would make me feel more empowered, but he is so overbooked that I don't think he has time. Thank you for giving me your time and thoughts everyone. You don't know how this has helped me just feel heard. It has been 4 months since my surgery and I still feel devastated sometimes. I did saw my doctor yesterday and we are discussing implants, but I will not just jump into this. I am going to take the time getting empowered! Things are not all bad, I have beautiful symmetry and shape, just a little flat for me. I already feel better thanks to you and everyone that shared the caring and knowledge. What a wonderful site you have created.
