Ramona'stouch天使的爱抚手术后没多久，我去医院复查。我躺到检验台上，拉蒙娜用手抚摸着伤疤。我开始轻轻地啜泣。她用关心的眼神看着我，问道，“你还没有碰过它，对吗？”“嗯。”我答道。于是她把金褐色的手掌轻轻地放在我苍白的胸口上，温柔地说道，“这是你身体的一部分，这就是你。摸一摸它吧，没关系的。”她就那样替我抚摸着正在愈合的伤口。而在那下面，她爱抚着的是我的心。最后，拉蒙娜建议道：“我握着你的手，你去抚摸它。”然后她把手放到我的手旁边，我们都安静下来。那是拉蒙娜送给我的礼物。Itwasonlyafewweeksaftermysurgery,andIwenttoDr.Belt'sofficeforacheckup.Itwasjustaftermyfirstchemotherapytreatment.Myscarwasstillverytender.Myarmwasnumbunderneath.Thiswholesetofuniqueandweirdsensationswaslikehavinganewroommatetosharethetwo-bedroomapartmentformerlyknownasmybreasts-nowlovinglyknownas"thebreastandthechest."Asusual,Iwastakentoanexaminationroomtohavemyblooddrawn,again-aterrifyingprocessforme,sinceI'msofrightenedofneedles.Ilaydownontheexaminingtable.I'dwornabigplaidflannelshirtandacamisoleunderneath.ItwasacarefullythoughtoutcostumethatIhopedotherswouldregardasacasualwardrobechoice.Theplaidcamouflagedmynewchest,thecamisoleprotecteditandthebuttonsontheshirtmadeforeasymedicalaccess.Ramonaenteredtheroom.Herwarmsparklingsmilewasfamiliar,andstoodoutincontrasttomyfears.I'dfirstseenherintheofficeafewweeksearlier.Shewasn'tmynurseonthatday,butIrememberherbecauseshewaslaughing.Shelaughedindeep,roundandrichtones.Irememberwonderingwhatcouldbesofunnybehindthatmedicaldoor.Whatcouldshepossiblyfindtolaughaboutatatimelikethis?SoIdecidedshewasn'tseriousenoughaboutthewholethingandthatIwouldtrytofindanursewhowas.ButIwaswrong.Thisdaywasdifferent.Ramonahadtakenmybloodbefore.Sheknewaboutmyfearofneedles,andshekindlyhidtheparaphernaliaunderamagazinewithabrightbluepictureofakitchenbeingremodeled.Asweopenedtheblouseanddroppedthecamisole,thecatheteronmybreastwasexposedandthefreshscaronmychestcouldbeseen.Shesaid,"Howisyourscarhealing?"Isaid,"Ithinkprettywell.Iwasharounditgentlyeachday."Thememoryoftheshowerwaterhittingmynumbchestflashedacrossmyface.Shegentlyreachedoverandranherhandacrossthescar,examiningthesmoothnessofthehealingskinandlookingforanyirregularities.Ibegantocrygentlyandquietly.Shebroughtherwarmeyestomineandsaid,"Youhaven'ttouchedityet,h
