The Big Reveal

Well it is now week 10 on crutches and I am not coordinated for crutches. A friend of mine has a thing where you put your knee on and use your other leg to walk. It feels almost like a skateboard but it is so much easier to use than crutches.

Today is the day that I can remove the bandages and see how well they did with the tattoos. I am a little nervous I really hope that they look ok. I carefully took the bandages off and jumped in a shower to get rid of any extra ink.

Ok I have not really looked yet. In the shower I just tried to avoid looking. Now for the big moment; I have not had colored nipples in 4 years I was not sure what I was going to think or feel. When I looked for the first time I began to cry. They looked amazing if I do say so myself. For the first time in years I almost forgot about all the surgeries and cancer. I finally felt complete.

I am really surprised that this has made me so emotional. I did not realize how much I missed them. I won’t get to give the coroner a laugh now seeing as she did not have blue ink but I think they will be confused still. Think about it when they do my autopsy my shoulder is in the front as a breast; my stomach muscle is now the other breast. They are really going to have work at figuring me out.

I really do feel so much better about they “girls” and how they look. They may not be perfect but they do look pretty good. I can feel confident again about my “girls” that if someone just looked at them in a shirt they would not see anything different from before the Big C.

About Tammy Woolard

My name is Tammy and I am 40 year old mother of 3 wonderful children who came to us through domestic adoption. Although we did not have any fertility issues we chose adoption because there are so many kids that did not ask to be born but truly want a family to love. We did research on adoption choices and decided on domestic adoption through CPS. You would be surprised the differences between each agency. The adoption process is nothing like you see in the movies. I am also a 5 year breast cancer survivor. When I was diagnosed my kids were 3, 5 and 7 I did so much research I may have driven my Dr. a little crazy but that is ok it is my body not his.
