I went to the surgeon's support group tonight. Which, in stark contrast to the last time I went
, was sooooo fun! It was a clothing exchange! I had never been to one.
They had a Q and A session of course, that was great and very informative...we talked about the water issue some more, made some announcements and then let us loose on tables of clothes! I am not one to turn up my nose at free clothes, used or otherwise, so I had a field day! I got several things I really like, my daughter got several things for "me" which she wants to "borrow" until I get into that size.
Cute stuff too, I am so getting them back!
One of the ladies that is 4 years out came up to me and asked my current size..."26? Ok, your surgery is right around the corner, go and get 24s, 22s and 20s then bring them back at the next exchange...believe me, you'll need 'em!" Good advise! So the pile grew even more!
There were also many mens shirts that were not taken at the end of it so I asked if I could take them to use as paint shirts for the gallery! The lady that brought them was more then happy that I took them that way SHE didn't have to carry them back home!
You should have seen my daughter and I dragging this HUGE plastic bag! We got it to the curb and I had to go fetch the car! hehe My daugher, who stayed with the loot, got in after we loaded this montrosity into the back seat and said "Im glad you showed up...was starting to get paranoid that I would be questioned about this gigantic garbage bag. It looks like it has a body in it...ok 2!
What fun!
