This is the industrial strength breast pump I did not expect to be using 8 times a day. My mom is here and I was complaining about the various ways my body failed me in the last couple of weeks -- the breastfeeding, the 10 years of pushing. She is a practical person and said, "well you should get used to it. how do you think I felt when I got cancer?" This is a good point that snapped my out of my self-pity mode. Our bodies do fail us on occasion. It's just how things are. I probably should have started having children 15 years ago .. that may have been physically easier but emotionally.. well, i can't even imagine it.
