Hi Friends!

I have my brace. I got it yesterday and it came apart in Kmart yesterday. There was a big noise and it stretched my blouse out in all directions. It startled me so badly and I had to hold my arms just right so the brace wouldn't fall out from under my blouse. It was hysterically funny after I quit shaking!

They've worked on the brace a couple times today to make it not come apart again and also so it wouldn't rub blisters under my arm. It needs a little more work tomorrow. Those people treat me so well. They are so sweet.

I don't feel claustrophobic in it! Yay!! It's very hot, and I've discovered just how important a man's tshirt can be to wick away the moisture. I had to buy some of the tank top variety men's t shirts to wear under the brace. I think I'm going to to get some lace or something to put around the collara in case they show. We'll see.

Anyway, it's onward and upward from here. Let's hope it doesn't explode againlike a big old girdle giving out with a bang!

Hugs,

Jan
