Hi Everyone!

I have a funny story to share with you all! It happened to me this past weekend while at a neighbor's house for a barbecue. We were all having a great time - dancing, laughing and singing! I love to dance. This song came on by Elton John called Crocodile Rock (when I was 13 I was a pompom girl and did a routine to this song).

Anyway I still remembered how to do the routine. Here I am dancing to Crocodile Rock in front of a few friends. My hubby makes a gesture towards my breast. He is pointing at my breast. You'll never guess what happened! My breast form was hanging out the top of my shirt! By the time I went to try and place it back where it belonged, everyone was staring at me.

I had to think of something quick. So... I pulled the darn breast form out, threw it up in the air and said, "To hell with IT." Everyone started laughing, crying and hugging me! They said it was good to see me laughing about it now. I had a mastectomy on February 20th and am going through reconstruction right now! So, when out there dancing ladies... be careful. You never know what might pop out!!

Hope this makes you laugh and smile like it did me!
Humor helps!!!

Love,
Patty in Michigan
