Conga lines

I finally have the answer to my burning question: What are those disgusting, white wormy things coming from the drains in my chest? I had an appointment with the plastic surgeon yesterday, and he informed us that they are clumps of white blood cells. Hmm. Interesting. As we were driving home from the appointment, Mr. Pincushion proclaimed, "It's kind of like those white blood cells are making a conga line!" I burst out laughing. I have a very funny husband who continually makes me laugh.

By the way, I just watched a movie on the Lifetime channel called "Five" that I recommend to anyone impacted by breast cancer, directly or indirectly. It is an anthology of five short films about the experiences of women who have been been diagnosed with breast cancer. While I was a little hesitant to watch, I'm glad I did. I thought the actresses did a great job portraying some of the emotions that women with breast cancer go through, even though they just scratch the surface. In case you missed it and would like to check it out, Lifetime is streaming the entire movie on their website.
