Hello all, I am getting closer to having my first set of plastic surgery Oct 8th to be exact. I will be getting a breast Aug and Lift, Full face laser, upper and lower eyelids and possibly a mini face lift. I will go on to other areas as time and financing become available.Still carrying on a causal relationship and enjoying myself thus far.I am trying to work on stocking up on my protein intake before surgery in hopes I heal well.I also am still taking all my supps. I will post again after I am able. Take care to take care. Hugs,Pam

Tinted Tuesday
Hello to the world, I'm feeling pretty up beat these days, since meeting a nice gentlemen, that respects me. I really feel comfortable with him, something I would not feel if I had not lost all the weight. I am trying to stock up on my protein because I am going in to do some plastics next week. I know with protein we are able to heal much faster. I hope for the best results. I will post about it as soon as I am able to following surgery. Til next time take care to take care. Remember to take your vits, supps and protein.

Don and Vitalady need our Prayers
This is what Michelle (vitalady) wrote:
Please join me in sending healing thoughts and prayers...
We were wondering if a small fall on Sat had anything to do with it.
slipped off bottom rung of wet ladder while washing car. fell on butt, no
damage.
ok, going back to Aug 20, Don had a kidney infection. It was serious. He
was lethargic, basically got nothing done at all for a week. Moved from bed
to recliner and back again. Yes, saw doc, was tested, treated and fixed in
a week. passed tests. but didn't feel well. kidney infections cause the
plumbing not to work right, so take in all the water you want, but it
doesn't run thru the system properly. result: impacted bowel, visit to ER
Aug 27
ok, now all fixed by Monday, give or take, doing ok, still picking up speed
from being in slow motion. Fall from ladder Sat, so 9/1? or so? No reason
to think (even now) that it has any bearing on anything.
went to bed normally Monday night, got up to wee about 3am, still fine.
Somewhere just before 6am, he had chest pain. Not reflux, not gas, nothing
he could ID as familiar. He went to stand to walk it off and..... I woke
up to "thud", turned on light at 6am. Don was on his back, not able to move
arms/legs, fingers..... ..... He said to call 911 and they were there like
RIGHT NOW. Strapped him to a board and they had him gone by 6:15. EKG
going, etc.
I get to hospital more like 8am (no point in getting there so they can toss
me out), and he has started blood work, CT and so on. All blood work is
ruling out heart problems. Tests every 2 hrs til noon and no heart issues,
no stroke, nothing to describe why he felt chest pain.
No heart problem.
BUT the CT and MRI did show a problem with C4 (middle of back of neck),
pinching spinal cord. The words are hard to even say, "spinal cord injury".
He was transferred to another hospital where the neuro was working yesterday
and he will have surgery on Thursday, later afternoon. as of today, he got
to sit up for the first time, though his head is still in a brace. he was
able to actually feed himself some turkey bits. But he can't manage any
fine motor things, like grasping a straw or picking up a cup. His
hands/fingers are way too sensitive. Touch of blanket feels like fire to
him. Feet are only slightly better but not as likely to be touched. He
didn't pass the "prick test" (how many stickers do you feel?) . So, not too
good.
Again, during the transfer I waited about 2 hrs, so only met part of the
team. We had the expected battle with the hospital re: his supplements. I
can out stubborn them, for sure.
I won't know anything til later Thursday afternoon, and then I expect,
"Surgery went well, don't know how he'll be for a week" kinda thing.
You have my permission to share this poorly written story on OH or your blog
or to people who might care. And thanks to those who have already sent
supportive messages. Although Don's hands don't work, brain, eats, mouth
all work fine, so you've put a smile on his face.
Thanks,
Michelle

Frying Friday
This weekend is a busy one so I'll be brief in writing until I come up for air on Monday. Birthday party tonight and yard sale sat and sun and I'm not looking forward to dragging the stuff out and back in and back out and in...lol Then Next week looks a little quieter have another birthday party and day trip hopefully to Mexico to see a plastic surgeon. That will be next Saturday. Then after all that is in perspective I am planning on going back to playing bingo again and shopping my two favorite past times. I need an outlet and my own activities, I need to fill this lonely feeling with some favorite past times. Take your vits and supps and eat and or drink your protein. Take care

MIA Tuesday...lol
I was lost on Tuesday out and about and forgot to blog...lol So this is Wednesday folks. I have a decision to make about plastics I need so much done it's horrible and I can't afford it all so I have to pick and choose carefully what I want. But I can't find a doctor that is willing to touch me because I'm what they call high risk so if they do anything it's going to be in little bits which will cost me more that way. I am considering going over the border for sure I have someone taking me on the 11Th to see a Dr in TJ. So we'll see? I'm depressed I hate the way I look. I wished I had the money to get it all done and without risking my self.
