Hi Girls,
I also wish you all a Wonderful Christmas day. Bonnie, darling, you have too much going on, I sure hope you feel better. Kudos to you for stepping up and braving it, you are a trooper.
I get my babies on Tuesday! I only have one child and can not have more but I have alot of favorite girl names. Chrissy and Missy? Kyleigh and Kerstin? Hmmm.
Didel, to upload pics, you have to have posted somewhere on the internet. You can use photo bucket or programs like that. I have actually hidden them in an unpublised facebook album, copied it then deleted it.
To upload them, you open the pic, right click your mouse, go to "copy image location", then go to the green tree above and paste the link. I'd love to see your kitty n puppy
! I hope it works for you. To all, peace, love, comfort and happiness. don't forget to smile. Merry Christmas eve day....almost!

Here are mine at 600 cc's, fills are done, thank God.

Hi ladies,
Stitches came out today for my nips. It hurt! Good sign, though, that I have at least some sensation. Next step, tats. Was totally surprised to learn that my PS's PA's do the tattooing. That seems weird to me? Shouldn't a PS do the tats? Anyone else have a PA do their tats? I have a friend who lives in Florida. I'm thinking a visit to facecrafter (Judy) may be in order. I don't feel comfortable with a physcian's assistant doing my tats. Does anyone else think it is a bit odd that a PA does tats instead of a PS?
I'm hoping they heal up OK. My left nip turned black a couple of days after the surgery, it is dark red now and bled when she removed the stitches. She said that was a good sign that there is a good blood supply. Anyway ... it kind of threw me to find out about the tats and who would do them. Would appreciate your thoughts.
Have a great holiday, everyone! As I remember this past year and all I've been through, know that I count it a blessing to have found this site and all of you. So appreciate all your wisdom, encouragement and support this year. What a blessing!

Day 4 past my exchange and so far so good. Pain is getting better and easy to manage with the pain meds I was given. Still getting muscle spasms - mainly at night. My PS never said anything about sleeping on my back only - is that the general rule while we are healing? I am guessing yes. The foam tape is getting itchy in a few spots, I am counting the days until I can take a shower again. Sponge baths just aren't cutting it. Plus it is next to impossible to wash my hair - good thing it is not that long yet.
It is snowing here in St. Louis - looks like a white Christmas for sure!
Love the doggie and cat pictures - very cute!
-
DiDel--VERY cute puppy and kitty!! I love Aussies, but don't know if I have the energy to keep up with one. Did you get the puppy and kitty at the same time? How do they get along? I have 2 young cats and really want a puppy, but DH is worried that they won't get along.
Laura-- Great pic of you and your husband! You both look amazing.
Thanks for the hugs and good thoughts. I feel a little better this morning, so it might be a pleasant Christmas Eve after all.
Have a great day, everyone!
-
Laura: Great Pic! Merry Christmas everyone... enjoy the day!! JUDY
-
As for tatts---
Neither the PS nor the PA have the training to do them well..so I guess it doesn't matter that a PA is doing them...Sine you have nipples, they don't need to be 3D so they'll be one color. Just make sure they are not too large. And keep non-stck gauze on them, with a LOT of ointment....Good luck, JUDY
-
Bonnie, hoping your time with family will bring the healing you need. (((((Hugs)))))
Laura, you are beautiful inside and out! Cute dh, too.
Didel, adorable new friends. I'm a kitty person and especially love the little 4 mo. old sprawling on your computer. They love the warmth!
Ladies, wishing all of you a warm, wonderful, Christmas! luv, deekaay
-
Laura -- that is such a GREAT picture of you and your DH. I just see how happy you two are together and it makes me smile.
Didel -- adorable pets! Your cat reminds me of mine (now dearly departed) and I had to laugh when I saw her stretched out on your computer. My cat used to love to chase my pen when I would sit and write... as if the act of writing on paper was meant to be a cat game.
Bonnie -- hope you are feeling better today. Did you go back to that same PS again?
Hugs to all and happy christmas!

Hi ladies, I just had my exchange to gummies. I have posted pics on the picture forum, so check them out if you have a chance and let me know what you think. I got 520 gram Allergan 410's, moderate height, extra full projection.
-
Lilah -- Thanks -- I feel a little better today and am working on getting into the holiday spirit. We're having family over for dinner this evening and again tomorrow afternoon, but I have a lot of help with the cooking and it will be fun to get together.
To answer your question, I didn't see the same PS. I went to my internist - she is really good and I trust her a lot.
Happy Holidays!

Hello everyone,
i hope it's ok if i join this thread. I had a bmx in august and jsut finished 4 treatements of chemo and my my next step is reconstruction. My appointment is not until Januaury 4th to see what my doctor can do. He had said if i don;t go to big i might not need expanders but i am thinking large C cup so I am pretty sure that will be next. But i would like to follow along here so I know what is in sotre for ma dn i think to ask to right questions.

Thought I'd all my baby too...

kward, big "awwwwwwwwwwwww" on the hugging kitty!!!!

Awww thanks everybody. I was in the adoption process with my Aussie when my nephew found my kitty in the middle of the highway on a cold stormy night. I had her about 2 weeks before Charlie came home but I got her at only 4 weeks old so she was very tiny. At first he was scared of her but now they love each other. They play together and HE (pooch) sleeps on her my little kitty but she doesn't seem to mind. Honestly its been the best therapy for me...they brought life back to my house and have kept me active. My 21 yr old cat died right before my second chemo and it was a very sad time in my house. I never realized how much I talked to my cat until she was gone and my house was so silent.
Kward love the orange tabby...they are always such little lovers.
Merry Christmas to all!!

Kward -- that kitty is adorable!
Bonnie -- I'm DELIGHTED to hear that you saw your internist! And that you are feeling more in the spirit today (and have help

Carrol2 -- welcome! And check out the thread Breast Implant Sizing 101 if you want help/advise about size and style of silicone implant to go for. Our "breast whisperer" Whippetmom is a genius on this subject (and that is her thread).
-
thank you lilah. I am hoping to be a C cup i was a DD. I always felt like my breasts were too big. After my surgery i felt like now I could actually see my curves. You can actually see my waist now. But i still want boobs and implants look amazing. Even though the surgery scares the hell out of me. I know that is odd coming from someone who has already had a bmx and it went very well. I was at the gym after a month. But I am getting tired of this journey and will be happy when I ahve boobs, energy and hair again.
-
Good... you figured out the picture thing... GREAT! Dh and I are middle 40's...LOL..... Thanks for the thought we looked younger MJB..:).... I agree... he is cute.... LOL...
I love the photos of the animals... I have two cats.....
Have a Blessed Christmas Ladies...... Love you !
