Email Interaction Between Sisters

As my sister gets ready for her mastectomy with DIEP reconstruction by trying to gain weight in her tummy area, she texted me and asked if I could send an update of what my breasts look like at this point.  Apparently, her plastic surgeon wants to look at my nipples and see how they are healing.  I never asked "why?" and of course, I am still curious as to why her PS wanted to see them.  Is it a competitive thing????   Is it a Philly vs. Miami Plastic Surgeon war???


Since I completely blew it the last time and randomly texted the pictures of my boobs to an unknown phone nunmber in Miami, I told her I was going to send her the pictures via email this time.  However, those pictures will be headless and must be deleted off the hard drive afterwards- pinkie promise!  I thought you might get a kick out of our email conversation since exchange of sister's boobs are not the norm:


Arlene: Do you have a picture of mom so that I can put it pn my "page"?  I am going to
participate in the Susan Komen 3-Day Breast cancer walk in October and I am going to dedicate it to mom, Aunt Gerry, you and me.  If you have a picture of you, me and mom, that would be even better!


Sister:  Which walk are you doing? My friend does it every year - this year she's going
to Seattle. I have pictures, but I don't have time to scan it - or even pee, or eat. It's insane. Between work and sports and running for tests and Dr's - everyone has to give me clearance - pulmonologists, then physical, redoing ultrasound - I don't know how people are supposed to work with preparing for
surgery. Thank God I have a GA. I promise I will scan it when I can. I will. Really. Let me know the date and place. It's awesome.I'm also starting a pre op curriculum for patients with another professor who just went through it - same 2 surgeons, same procedures, everything. How's your healing? How do your nipples look? My doc wants to see a pic  -- i see him on Fri. Any chance you can email it?


Arlene:   I am doing the 3-Day Susan G Komen in October in Atlanta.  Traci has been bugging me to do it so I thought this would be a good year.  Here is the link without all the pictures on
it.  Do you think you could be the first to donate some money?   Please...... I
have to raise $2300 as a minimum and I think its going to be a struggle but I am
going to try.

By the way, I am taking your picture off FB and I will take a picture of my boobies and email them when I get home.

 

 

Arlene:  (Pictires were taken and emailed with this message)  Trust me...they look really big but they are about a B right now.  Remember ...these are not the implants.  I am only up to 280 cc filled so far with the goal of only 310 cc.

 

 

Sister:   I got them and looked at them - which is really not a normal thing, but hey - nothing about this is normal!  I am going to have the exact same scar as you but no aerola (which I will tattooed on later). Wow! You got some big ta tas! I think you will be bigger than me when all is said and done - there is no way I can eat my way to Cs - I feel so friggin' gross! I weigh more than I did when I was pregnant. Its disgusting. I'll be good with the Bs!  I'll show the pics to him on Monday.  I'll let you know what he says. thanks!
