One foot bigger than the other, one hand bigger that the other and for us females, one breast bigger than the other. Your ear will be fine, and after awhile you won't notice the difference and neither will others.<BR/>It will be you badge of courage.<BR/><BR/>I have a moderate lymphedema in my right arm and in the beginning, after my mastectomy, I would tell people when they asked that it was that it was from an arm injury. I wasn't really lying, just not telling the whole truth. Then after a while I began telling the truth and it was rather liberating, because they would then ask how long I had survived my cancer. It is now 33 years.<BR/><BR/>My how the time has flown.<BR/><BR/>Prayers are continuing to ascend for you.<BR/><BR/>SuzanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14755785.post-81825840767181849072008-05-04T16:35:00.000-07:002008-05-04T16:35:00.000-07:00Thank you so much, for this and for supporting me ...Thank you so much, for this and for supporting me through all of it.

I’m thinking now of cutting it short again, once this all heals, and getting a warrior piercing."<BR/><BR/>Do that. Paradoxically, it's claiming your body as yours and making the choice to change it (whereas your ear is not quite the same choice, no?).<BR/><BR/>People may wonder why I have six piercings on my left ear and only one on my right. It's because I am totally deaf on my left ear and have been since I was three (measles... unless it's from the high bilirubin count as a newborn). It has been my way of finding some use for this otherwise useless ear. Each piercing (other than the first pair one on either side) marks some event in my life (Ph.D., surviving CPE, M.Div. etc). So why not have a survival marker?<BR/><BR/>I do hope you are printing out these blog postings because not only are they beautiful in their own way but they are rich and deep.<BR/><BR/>Prayers continue.Caminantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16610142955176992982noreply@blogger.com
