I would love to join in the fun! Sadly, I am totally overwhelmed at work at the moment and don't see things getting any lighter for a month or so. Until then I'm trying not to take on any new projects. If its still going round when my load lightens up a bit I may just jump in. Thanks cookbook! I would love to join in the fun!

Finding a bra that helps with shape and support ('cause even when their small, the boobs need some help) is not easy when the styles are nearly pre-teen. Good luck with the shopping!

I am a big believer in finding a brand/style that works and then ordering online. Other than Nordstom's, I can't think of a good place for bras in Cleveland. 38DD or so here, Dirty City.

Wende's been waxing eloquent about what they have to offer. If it's any comfort to you, you're not the only one struggling to find bras that fit, that do what they need to, and that don't look like they were made for someone's grandmother. Being middle-aged, I'm contending with the dreaded droop as well, and I really really hate that. I went for a professional bra fitting last year, but I'm not all that confident about the way it was done. The woman simply put her fingers on either side of me, from the back, and declared my size. I would have felt happier if a measuring tape had been involved... Good luck on the replacement of the ones that need replacing! Not sure where you’re located, but do you have access to Nordstrom?

But having had some nasty stitches in high school (suffice it to say they had to pin the bones together underneath and the pins were removable <i>so they stuck out</i>) I can verify Wende's statement - it will never look as bad as it does now. And hopefully it will look much better very soon! Oh I am having the screaming heebie jeebies just at the thought of looking under there.

I'm totally with you on terror at having to look under the bandages tomorrow. I'd be repeating to myself that the hospital wouldn't send me home if I couldn't cope -- while quaffing pain meds and muttering. The good thing is, it'll never look as bad again as it does the first time you have to look at it. Years ago, I did everything with my "off" hand for 6 weeks due to having repair surgery after slicing through a finger tendon. It never gets funny, but it does get manageable. I drove a stick shift and cooked Thanksgiving dinner with my right arm immobilized. You will cope. Deep breath. I’m totally with you on terror at having to look under the bandages tomorrow.
