    Great sentiment...

    Love it, Linda!
    My upper body is so scarred I tell my breast surgeon he just added to the map.... I had 9 shoulder surgeries - sometimes staples, others sutures (they look like railroad tracks). I had 3 discs fused in my neck and the surgeon did it from the front so I have that scar too. So now I have bilateral mastectomy scars and a port scar. Some are white and some red. They tell a story of what I've been through but not about who I am.
