I'll check out that song, Kat...

Thanks, Robyn... The P-Vine and I were talking last night and going over the reality of having the reconstruction and I made it perfectly clear to her (perhaps in the most emphatic manner) that I don't care about it... That got her thinking and now she is leanin' on just taking that expander the heck out, healing from that and not worrying about reconstruction right now...

The doctors kinda oversell the options at the beginning and then folks are left with "buyer's remorse"... I should have remembered that from when Judy was being treated... The doctors were always saying, "Well, if this happens, we can treat it"... Yeah, it was "we can treat anything" and looking back, yeah, they "treated" her right into the grave...

So I think we'll just forget about reconstruction... It's not a priority worth half a dozen more painful "treatments"...

I was hoping that the medical profession had come along from back in the mid 90s but seems that not much has changed in that regard... I mean, these are tough choices that are laid out like some waiter telling you of the "specials" or "salad dressings"...

I wish that we had had better information 'cause it would have saved her from yet another "procedure"...
