The Change part 4: In the Fitting Room

The breast is changed for sure.
The first time.
After.
She felt she had to explain to Bra fitters in shops,
Exactly why she had two cuts
On her breast.

But did she really have to explain?
Or is that part of the recovery?
Is she angry?
Is she embarrassed or shy?

How she feels about herself
Has changed.

She is looser,
more relaxed.
Says what she thinks a little more.

Explains herself a little less.
Gets fired up more easily.

“I have lived through this and it will not bring me low”
She thinks.

She is more certain of what makes her happy,
What is important – vital.

She knows about pacing
and timing.

Appreciates energy levels,
She doesn’t push it.

She knows about rest and healing
And the importance of a little exercise.

She is the same really.

But changed.
