Poland Syndrome

After receiving a text from a friend this morning, I find myself charging into a rather uncomfortable situation…willingly. No time like the present, right? I previously posted about the decision of to be or not to be….a Classical Conversations Tutor. I’m a homeschool mom to four kiddos and after having used a curriculum called Classical Conversations with them at home for the last 3 years, I have decided that this upcoming year we will join a local community where once…

In general, I was a tough kid.  I was a total tomboy, preferring to join my older brother and his friends in “boy play” than sit down with dolls and frilly things.  I played up a year and on a boys soccer team (my brothers) from age 4-11.  At 11, I was recruited onto a premiers girls team in my area.  I climbed trees, built forts, played Cowboys and Indians, and whatever else seemed fun and interesting. Being that active, I…

I have corresponded with a number of you and, having been diagnosed with PS at birth, I’m always surprised by the number of folks who spend years and decades without a name for their condition. So, do you think we can have some reader participation today? I’m curious: Hold old were you when you were diagnosed? Would you come out of the shadows, and move from a lurker to a commenter.   Tell all of us below, how old were…

Finding a bra that fits comfortably has been a lifelong challenge for me. Last week I posted about the NuLife delivery I received and my initial impressions about the Mastectomy bra I was eager to try.  (you can watch my video at the link above) Since then I have worn it three time.  My high hopes have not been disappointed. I wanted to ensure that my opinion was formed not on a solo trial, but after multiple occasions.  I also…

Here is a transparent admission for you: Poland Syndrome frustrates me greatly! Not all the time.  Not every day, but most days.  I’m 34 years old and I’m still learning how to handle that frustration. How does it frustrate me? It frustrates me when I struggle at normal, everyday tasks.  It frustrates me when I’m working at my desk, with a book in my left hand and need to move a stack of papers to the side.  A “normal” person…
