  1. Day three I slept 11 solid hours last night with one potty and drain clean break to bathroom at 2:00am. Just returned from my longest walk to date with hubby and Bobby. No marathons yet of course but felt great to get out in the fresh air and move + stretch the body. Ate a little low salt cottage cheese with bananas and walnuts for breakfast. Still not hungry but try to get something down. No bowel movement, either. Do take a stool softener for when the time is right. :] Continue Juven and isopure liquids. I feel great. The only freight train pain is in the tummy tuck territory, and only when getting in and out of our bed which is a little on the high side especially for pint size 5' Sophie! LOL. There is no pain nor discomfort in the breast area at all. After the third day out I can say with absolute confidence - Do not hesitate when you feel ready to do this for yourselves!!! It has not been as difficult as I thought it would be. And, pssk, in regards to our age - I found research suggest older adult women may actually fair better with plastic surgeries due to less hormonal activity and stability post-menopause. I decided not to shower today for the big reveal and remove all the compression garments and such. I have been sponge bathing all along and ready for a nap now. You can see from the side view the swelling is at a premium. Sooooo for today, I'll keep everything in their tight little cocoon for the time being. Happy weekend to you and yours.
  2. SK how are you feeling!? Rockin and rolling full speed ahead yet? Yes, I thought surgeon wanted me hunched over but not the case. She's also keeping 3 drains in until next Wednesday on 3rd follow-up. So far, the only freight train hit of pain is getting in and out of bed. Which is only potty or bed/morning time. Try to take a few daily walks outside a day and sit in kitchen nook with lap top. And, stroll around the house. SK she sculpted beautiful perky breasts for me... (I'll share them privately later down the line) I could not be more pleased. I am allowed to shower Friday and excited to see the big reveal minus the swelling, of course. Aren't you glad we did this!?! I feel like a weight has been lifted off my abdominal section! She took 4.8 pounds off. I should settle nicely into becoming a low twenties petite gal.
  3. So sorry to hear about your fury family loss. :[ I'd definitely look into the wire fox terrier! They are our favorite breed. A fabulous breed. They bring so much joy to a household. They do not shed but you do need to keep their undercoat managed by combing it out + along with puppy cut or stripping which they do to show dogs. We do not strip Bobby. Robert has been an incredibly attentive nurse, and baker extraordinare all built in one! Haha. I'll send you a few more wire fox terrier inspirations to consider. They are very athletic, social and full of curiosity AND adventure. Bobby has not left my side since surgery. A very faithful companion, indeed.
  4. Yes, surgery was performed yesterday early a.m. and in her state-of-the-art surgery center. I was released by 6:00pm that evening. By 8:00 pm I was snuggled in my own bed at home and slept like a baby. Hubby was given all the pertinent directions + procedures for aftercare AND has done famously. However, he's probably the more exhausted one than me! Haha. My surgeon is younger and 10 years out in private practice with different surgery perspectives (I liked her cutting edge view point but with relevant experience, too) and, the entire staff are women. My anesthesiologist was a doll from Mississippi. Robert, my hubby, brought them in his amazing homemade carrot cake. This is an example of the cake from another party... You know what they say, a way into your surgeons heart and their staff is dessert after a very, very long day of procedures! LOL. ;]
  5. Yes! Bobby is our wire haired fox terrier - Rambunctious and full antics but he really does seem to know when a family member is in recovery from something and needs his TLC. I love Jack Russells (what are there names - do send a picture). They are the more friskier of the terrier group but cute as buttons! We met the cutest Jack Russell puppy in Miami this past weekend. He will certainly keep up with his new family and their two young boys! His name was Bruce which cracked me up! No doubt, a snuggly puppy helps with the healing process, too. Right? He is our traveling pooch and loves adventures. We'll take him on road trips whenever we can. Fun!

    Did someone say SHOES!? Even though I'm limited to flats (bum left knee) they all seem to make there way into my closet. Slowly replacing my former favorites I had given to Dress for Success. Went from a size 8 to 7 shoe now. Getting a lot of leverage from these favorite winter flats BUT they can't compete with those SEXY numbers Arabesque just modeled! Wow. In fact, I think I just saw my little pair of houndstooth flats run for cover under the bed... I think the high heel bad girls really scare them! Referring to the song by Amy Winehouse called her f---me pumps. Haha. Loved Carrie's shoes... just don't know how one walks or acts on set in them? Her back? But a good friend who was a former national Hanes hosiery model in NYC can really work those platforms and spiked high heels with precision. I have never seen such long and beautiful legs as hers. Her waist is parallel to my shoulders! I think I'll stay closer to the ground. LOL ;]

Congratulations, Ms. GreenTealael! Well deserved. Hugs. Looks like I'm next in line! Oh boy. Actually, we are headed to Miami this weekend before D-day on Tuesday, the 21st. ;]

    Been MIA hitting the ground running this January!... And, still running getting prepared for plastics + all the pre-op stuff. Trying to get projects in a good place, as well as general things done since the downtime after PS and my capabilities then are unknown? Playing catch up with our thread this morning. Everyone is starting off right for the new year and looking amazing! Love the enthusiasm! Hooray, we won the Cotton Bowl!

    What a great dress and you are looking stunning. The hair style is great for us petites. Thank you for sharing the dress info. I loved the Diane Von Frustenberg wrap dresses in the late 70 - 80's! Does anyone remember them? Great for class and internship job when in college. If you find them on consignment... they are wonderful!

    Gorgeous down under. Your outfit is so elegant right down to the polished toes! Hope you and your property are safe. Our national news coverages here look pretty serious. Be well and take good care. BTW, I am having the same dilemma with clothes shopping.

    I went to University of Miami. Great city with an international energy + flavor! Hope you're having a fabulous time and relief from frosty the snowman. Check out Havana Harry's in Coral Gables! Best Cuban food ever with some healthy choices, too! ;]
