Good job.  Nice timing for your friends to come back around. We def find out who are true friends are during the hardest times of our lives.  Yes , please let us know when you get home safely.  

    Well I never got around to making any apple recipe yesterday. I ran out of energy long before supper. :-(. Hopefully today I will try the new recipes. Thanks ladies.  I am feeling a lot better today. Pain is subsiding. Yea ! So very excited to get back to living again.

    I see a new ps this morning, outside of Kaiser. Now I'll know if it's me or these implants. If he agrees with me it means I have to change my health insurance then wait until January. Keeping fingers crossed.

    Good morning everyone else. Hope your day goes well.

  • hey spookie. Thanks for letting us know about SAS. 

  • Busy day planned, gotta get moving.

    Enerva, will be thinking of you all day.

    Glad Sassy is ok

    Hugs to all who need or want them.

    2nd time lol love that he ha ha 

    Smarty remember go in there with your head high. If you get to be the one to talk first then make the Ps aware of what you are unhappy about. If the Ps starts talking none stop, let him/her but after she / him is done you then say. " oh i understand your point but this is not what I expected and it is affecting my daily life. I would like to improve the results and I have research and believe it can be much better. " do not feel intimidated by the Ps. Remember this is my 3rd opinion now I was been turn down by another Ps who basically said, " you should leave it as it's, this is as good as it can get, I think it looks ok" well ok is not enough for me so after I cry in my car that day. I told myself I am not giving up lol so here I go again ;) who knows if I ll get great results but I am positive it will improve and that for small that it's, will make me happy 😊 .

    Pls let us know how it goes. I will be here as soon as I wake up and the nurse gives me back my phone lol

    Sailing Wind, I took iron pills which helped my restless legs. My reading was in the normal range but too low for the blood bank. You might ask your doctor for a test. The other things that have helped me is stretching my calves before bed and massaging my feet and calves with hand lotion. Restless legs are so annoying.

  • thanks . I'll have iron checked

    SailingWind - I don't have RLS, but in the past, there were times when I just had to keep moving my legs in bed.... it felt like I'd had too much caffeine, but only in my legs!

    I started taking Magnesium, and that went away. Just a thought.

    ~ ~ ~ 

    I'm still laying low, trying to find my brain. Still going to Acupuncture, it helps. Recovering from a traumatic brain injury is not like recovering from a cut on your hand. You can't see anything healing, and it doesn't get better every single day. It comes and goes. I still lose words, I still have no concept of time. I may ask for a referral to a neurologist and see what he recommends. Probably: BE PATIENT!!!!! 

    Devil

    Big hugs to all..... I may not be posting but I lurk when I can!!!!

    ok, saw the new doc. He said my current reconstruction he would give a 60%-70%. Not a great job but not terrible. He would have done it differently starting with the bmx.  Said he could make it better!!  So, yes I'm willing to try one more time. So probably sometime in January or February, I could be getting new boobs for my birthday again!  Now to start the paperwork to change health provider.

    Enerva, I finally looked to see where you are, so you're on east coast time, and  you're on Lake Ontario. So all those pics are of this lake? I think your funny that the first thing you want is your phone. I hope you get what you want this time around and it all goes well. I will be thinking of you tomorrow until you cHeck in. In your pocket (with the drains :)! Keeping my fingers crossed that you don't get sick this time.

    Blessings, take it one day at a time, even if you don't know when it's one day. Hope this doesn't take forever to resolve. 

    4sew. What are they doing with this sx? A new implant or TE?

  • need to catch up, long, difficult day.

    Enerva, hoping you're calming your nerves, tomorrow at this time, you will be resting at home, feeling so much better (a little sore maybe, but pleased it's over!)

    Smaarty, woo hoo to possibilities! ThumbsUp

    I saw this and wanted to share, had a lot of respect for Robin Williams, now even more so.

    Just a  quick note to the newbies and those just starting to see redness. I just finished up last Thursday and my skin is so much better already, it really started to heal quickly for me. Hope this gives some of you a little encouragement. Still fatigued, but that will improve too. Best of luck Ladies. Hugs, Stephanie

    What a great idea! Too many people assume homeless people are stupid and lazy. I knew one homeless woman who had quit her job to care for her ailing mother until her death. Once her mother was gone, they kicked the woman out because it was senior housing and she wasn't a senior.

    There's a nurse in Seattle who works at a clinic that sees many homeless people. She paints their portraits (wonderful paintings). The only way to get one is to donate to the clinic. Say, 2,000 pairs of sox, etc.

    ok ladies it's 6:03 am I am ready, waiting for the fun to start ;) 

    Talk to you all later ;) 

  • good morning all

    Enerva - praying for quick recovery and wonderful results.  

    Hope all have a great , pain  free day. 

    Hootie hoo 

  • Enerva, hoping surgery is over, they have you on pain meds and you'll be home soon! Rest the day away! Gentle hugs to you!

    Enerva.....big gentle hug to you. I hope the surgery goes well and you're pleased with the results. Rest up and post when you can. 

    Hi 2nd, I've been thinking about you. I hope things get easier soon and the perfect job opens up or you. 

    Nice to see you 4444444. Hope your surgery goes well on Friday. 

    Sailing, I agree with Wren, iron pills helped my restless legs. But you might try magnesium as Blessings suggested which is easier on the stomach than iron pills. if you get your iron checked make sure they check iron saturation level as well as ferritin level. Good luck.

    I wish all of you a painfree carefree day. Hugs to all.

    ok ladies it's 11:22 I am back in my room and in a lot of pain but still smiling so far so good breast look way better already.  No drains,  no fat grafting and I think we are good.  Still didn't see the doctor so I don't know what zise I got but they look good. Not huge,  but I see not rippling so far.  Hoping it will stay this way.

    When I get home I will take pictures of my breast but so farther is my smile ;)

    you look great for just coming out of sx!! Hope you heal quickly and not too much pain.  Looks like you're not going to be as sick as you were last time and that's great! Nothing worse then waking up ready to throw up.

    Be good and don't do anything you're not suppose to!

  • Envera  so good to see you . Didn't expect  to see you so soon. Take pain meds. 

    Paw. Had magnesium tested with other stuff. We'll within the normal range.but I do take it daily

  • enerva - so glad your smiling.  Now get home and get some rest.
