NSV - Never thought this would happen!
I was getting dressed the other day and pulled out a t-shirt. My daughter's school was selling anti-bullying pink tee's a few weeks back, so I got one for each of us. Well, I pulled out the one in my drawer, looked at it and thought it was a bit small, but the tag said "XL" so I figured it was mine and put it on. It did fit, but was small, so I took it off thinking it had shrunk in the laundry.
So today, while searching for something to wear to work, I found it in the drawer where I had left it ... and then found another one in a different drawer. Huh? So I looked at the tag again -- XL Youth. Say what? Then the other t-shirt tag - XL Adult. Sure enough, I had put on Emilie's t-shirt in error --- and the freakin' thing fit!! Not perfectly, but I didn't struggle to get it on or off and didn't hear any seams ripping. I never in a million years thought I would ever fit into something that small. BTW: Did I mention my daughter isn't 11 yet?? She's big/tall for her age, but still ....

NSV = Non-Surgical Victory. In other words, good things that happen outside of having the surgery itself.
