My Essay

Taking Dana's advice from the other night, I submitted a short essay to Fab-U-Wish. I was only able to write 150 words (super limiting the way I tend to ramble on sometimes) but I gave it my best shot:

    "In the first few days at home after my bilateral mastectomy, there’s nothing I could do to get comfortable.  My brain was fuzzy from pain meds, I had yucky drain tubes coming out of me and fresh wounds on a very sensitive part of my body.  The only way I was remotely close to feeling comfortable was walking around topless (not great in front of visitors); that is, until I was gifted Victoria’s Secret Supersoft Short PJ Set.

    I don’t need anything, so my wish is that every woman having a mastectomy could have a pair of her own. It’s a BIG wish and it’ll take some thought, collaboration and generosity.  Ideally, we could somehow get VS to pair up with the Bright Pink, the American Cancer Society and/or Susan G. Komen to gift these to women before they leave the hospital. Comfort for all! #JustThinkAboutIt #Philanthropy #Survivors"

Hopefully it's a start!
