Tracey... I love you! Our Picture.. is timeless..

How long have we been together here??? So many late night talks.. so many fear and tears..

I love you sister...Keep being YOU!

Great News Jazzy!!!  Read your web site too!!!  I wanted so badly to come & visit......after you mentioned your feeling about not being sexy...If you can picture this....I wanted to walk into  your hospital room playing the 2 songs I can't get out of my head with you in mind..."Rod Stewart-If ya Think I'm Sexy" &  "I believe in Miracle's-you Sexy thing'  can't recall the artist.  Just so ya know-I've got Jazzy on my mind!!!!  Thanx for the link to hook up for the Pic forum.  She has already replied to me & now I need to sign up.  Say on another note-did you get the site from Susan G. Komen of photo's taked during the race in Portland???  I did & gave it to Bryan & he found a great shot of his back side witht the Pink ribbon hanging off his Butt & the sign on his back-Really neat!

Surgery date is on for November 23rd-Monday. No time set as of yet, but I'll be the 1st. My surgeon is keeping close eyes on me & seeing him every week & the surgeon from OHSU Porltand is going to try & be here for this procedure, wants to see Dr. Maccabee at work. Was suppose to take 6-8 months to heal from last surgery & I'm only 2 months out-so the longer we can wait, the safer & faster this surgery will be on both of us along with the healing.  But due to the nature of the situation now-it has gotten worst & dealing with some more complications, we don't have that time on our hands anymore. For now is a waiting game & if I do take another turn,need to head to ER-lot's of rest time on couch. There is quite abit of unspeakable pain and at time's I can barely walk down our hall.Will be spending at least a week-Thankgiving included, Dr. David M. said he would bring me a plate of turkey,I told him that the hospital pampered me last year with a yummy Turkey dinner with all the trimming's & Pumpkin pie -so sure to expect it again. 2 years in a row spending Thanksgiving in the hospital,different surgeries, but hopefully won't repeat Christmas as well.

So as not to drag this on too long-I'll fill you all in later on what we are going to do to fix this hernia.

Take care all my wonderful sista's   Chow  XOXO Susie

ROBIN.. what are you deleting sister???? ... How ARE you doing... I am feeling pretty good.. so call if ya wanna chat!

That is a slightly... freaky pic there sister...LOL

Teresa...:)... good or bad, I will not speak for you.

Teresa saw my PS today for those wondering.. I was there too.. ( it was great to visit with Teresa and Lisa)..to see if he understood the situation and  could help her at a revision...

Laura,   I have no idea what I deleted.  I just think it was user error!   I am with the grandkids today, so I am OK.  Going to Gavin's soccer game today.  Watching little kids run around the field trying to kick the ball keeps your mind off other negative things!

Monday is tattoo day.   I am very nervous about that for some reason.  I am worried about color and size.  

I'm sooooo excited!!!  Just placed my 1st order of photo's off shutterfly to put into my "TATA SISTERHOOD" Scrap book.  So Sista's-when you get a chance, download those photo's............ PLEASSSSSSSSSEEEE!!  Love to all & just big smile looking at our trip photo's-can't wait for next year.

Take care  Chow  XOXO Susie

OK ladies-those of you who have had their nipples done.  I have a question.  I want to try to get in this year to get mine done while my deductibles are all paid up.  My surgeon wants to do the "twist" method (don't know the official name of this-or I just can't remember it) and wants to use skin from my eyelid for the aerola.  I am pretty nervous about taking tissue from my eyelid as I really don't want to look like Rocky Balboa.  Anyone have it taken from anywhere else??

Tracy

Tracy..my PS used my belly...my scar is fairly long. My mom's daughter had the same procedure. If i had use my eyelids, I'm quite sure my eyes would be flipped inside out. I didn't get a chance to show you when we met at Red Robin, but you can look on the pic site and see them. I had the skate flap (twist method) and had my aureola's grafted from my belly. Look around on the pic site before you choose. 

Just a thought.....not a judgement

Kathie 

Teresa so excited for you

my 1st ps was about 2 hours away

I say go for it

Oh my goodness ladies- I am so far behind in catching up on posts. My schedule has had me offline for some time-- but I have been thinking about you all so much! I am apologize for being so busy that I haven't had time to check in much. I have much more of the crazies ahead. One of my dearest friends passed unexpectedly Friday morning and I have much to do with that plus a travel schedule that is relentless. Just know your on my minds and I miss you.

Susie and Jazzy- Hope you are on the mend. Theresa- May the hurt heal - glad the new PS is the guy. Deborah- You are amazing and it was great to see you. Tracie- Gosh my heart breaks for you and your friend.

Hugs- Over and out for now

Thanx as always for the support & Prayers Girls.  I saw my Dr./surgeon today & with the condition's I'm now having-should be going in for surgery tomorrow, but....the increase in pain is like a roller coaster-up one day & then ok the next. Not able to keep any food down for the past 2 days-I thought what a great weight loss program(not the healthiest-LOL LOL), so it is now a waiting game day to day & if I start losing more weight & the pain increase's-I head in.  My goal is to make it thru this Halloween weekend of plans with Aurora.  Bryan joked around saying I was tying to stay out due to the MICHAEL JACKSON MOVIE-"THIS IS IT",by the way I'm going to see today at 4:30 hopefully. For those of you on FB, Thank you for the quick responce

Tomorrow will mark the 3rd year since I lost my Mother. Some have asked how....she was driving home on the old hwy in The Dalles,there were 2 loose horses,one impacted her as she came around a corner(day lite saving's-5:30-extremely black)another car had slowed down to avoid hitting a horse-her car after the impact kept going & hit the guardrail & passed to the other side,the other car had seen one headlite coming towards them & pulled over where they couldn't go anywhere else, her car bumped into their's & then bursted in flames catching their car on fire & the hillside. The roof of her car was pushed all the way down past the steering wheel-then with the fire-burned beyond recognition. I held a candle lite memorial for her at the site the 1st year at the time of the accident,then last year was too ill to go there and did it here & will do it again tomorrow. Another reason I don't want to go to the hospital. Don't worry, I don't play around when it comes to my health-I've got hubby watching me as well.  I hope you all don't mind me sharing this with you-my Mother was my best friend & I miss her terribly,but I know she is in a wonderful place & watches over me constantly.  Shortly after losing her is when my medical journey started. It's get's hard as the date draws near.

Love you all-Thanx for the listening ears!!  Will keep you posted Take care  Chow  XOXO
