Surviving 'til Surgery

Yesterday afternoon I saw my nurse practitioner and got a shot of Toradol and a prescription for some different muscle relaxers. My neck is still tight and painful, but I feel like a human being again. I also went up to A Bra Boutique and bought a new bra. I'm down to a 30 in band size (from a 32 last time), but the cup size is up to a GGG from a GG/H. Actually the cups are a little small if anything, but they were out of II (the next size up) and since I've been going to Weight Watchers and losing weight for the last couple months, we figured the GGG was probably going to fit better than the II would soon. Apparently so far I've lost more fat around my chest than in my breasts. The fitter, who was fairly new, was amazed that even with the Colesce bras I'm still in so much pain that I am getting a reduction. I know that finding the Colesce bras, which are designed for orthopedic support, helped my neck pain a lot. But unfortunately, not enough to solve my problems. I can't imagine how painful it would be if I wasn't wearing well fitting bras! Maybe the reason I've been is so much pain lately is that with the weight loss I wasn't getting enough support from my existing bras - but I had gone down to the tightest setting on the bands, so it's hard to believe that would make such a difference.
