Awkward

As my mastectomy approaches, I’ve been doing more shopping to get things prepped. Sometimes, people working at the stores will ask me what kind of surgery I’m having and it’s a bit awkward. Like when I needed to buy a wireless bra today for after the nipple delay. I was explaining to the saleslady that I was having surgery and needed a bra that wouldn’t irritate my incisions. Since it’s LA, I realize she probably thinks I’m getting a boob job. On the other hand, I don’t know if I want to tell her I’m having a preventative mastectomy. In the end, she asked when my surgery was happening and I explained the surgery I was having. She was so sweet and told me how I’d do great after my mastectomy – and she helped me pick out a great wireless bra.
