Just checking in, dear family....
Gosh, I feel so out of the loop! I haven't been on here as much here lately. I've been working on a newsletter (work) in the evenings and over the weekends.... dealing with T-ball and all the other mommy duties. *whew* It's been hectic.
Here's my BIG update: My very first baby boy graduated from high school last night. I'm so proud of him. I was sure I would burst into tears when they called his name - but he asked me to make sure I screamed for him as loud as I could. So when they called his name, my sister and I screamed as loud as we could and when the cheering died down, I yelled as loud as I could "That's my baby!!" It was a good laugh for all of us.
After the ceremony, I couldn't find him in the crowd. People were leaving all over the place....I kept searching and calling his name....I circled around the entire facility....and began to cry. I never pictured watching my baby graduate from the stands...and not see him to hug him and take pictures. So I circled around again with tears streaming down my face - 75% of the people had left....I was really concerned....and then we found each other.
We gave each other the greatest biggest hug ever! He wiped my tears and told me not to cry.... I told him "I thought I wasn't going to get to hug my own son on his graduation day" and he just hugged me and hugged me. *sniff* *sniff* Did I mention how proud of him I am? We got some good pictures. When i get them off the camera card, I will put some on here so you can see my grown up handsome young man.
I just wanted to share this special occassion with my family.
Well, I better get back on this newsletter. I have to turn it in tomorrow 
AHHHHHHH!!!! No pressure, No pressure..... 
Love you all,
Pam

How wonderful and sad all at the same time! My little girl only has 2 more years left! It is scary. We are doing the drivers training thing right now and I am so afraid to let go!
It sounds like you are feeling pretty good from your plastics! You are up and at em' pretty good. I was wondering how you have been doing!

Oh Wendy.... I am having a terrible time with the letting go. He's 18, graduated, smart, strong, independant.... *sigh* Thankfully, his plan so far is to stay home and go to the Community College here...for now. Oh, it's just gonna kill me when he really goes out on his own. I'm just not ready for my baby to be a grown man. I swear, it seems like just last week I had brought him home from the hospital. He was a little punkin. The very next day, I was devastated to have to put him in the hospital with jaundice... Finally, at a week old, he came home for good. Really, it seems like just last week. I can't believe how time just slips away from us. and BLAM - they're grown.
I do feel pretty good from the plastics. My arms are very well healed. I still have a little tightness in the tendons...but not real noticable unless I really stretch to reach something with my arm(s) straight. The chest has been a pain in the healing department. It didn't bother me at all at first....for a couple of weeks... but I guess since the arms are healed, I have no distraction from what's going on with the breasts. I'm 5 weeks out from surgery and still have a T intersection that isn't fully closed. They are still sore...just annoying. I'm still waiting for them to drop/fluff. They are so high up on my chest, that they look like they are ABOVE where my cleavage really is.... and it seems like I could potentially have a problem with the skin between them. The surgeon says I have no fat between my skin and breastbone. So, the tightness of my skin is lifting that area right off my breastbone. This is really not a good thing. If the skin stays like this, the implants have the potential of touching in the middle.... a condition called Synmastia. Synmastia would require more surgery. THIS would not make me a happy camper. Sooooooo I pray. I wait. I hope for the best. I hope they drop down where they belong and my skin does what it is supposed to do. Stretching and sagging has never been a problem in the past - obviously my body knows HOW to do it.... I just wait now. (and stuff a sock between them just in case! )
Hugs,

Thanks for sharing that. My youngest was supposed to graduate on Friday but he messed around and has to repeat one algebra class. Oh well, they never seem to learn. I can appreciate your not wanting to let go. I have five and they have all seemed to grow up sooooo fast. I cant believe that Steve is 18. He just got his first job. He is truly the baby of our family. Anyway congratulations and thanks for sharing.

I know how you feel ....My "baby girl" graduated last year. She is my one and only...Also, it was my last "fat" picture too. So I had a good time enjoying her grad party (with all the fattening foods...Lol) but this surgery has been good to me. (wish I was losing more than I am but I take anything at this point)
did ur insurance cover all the surgery you had done? I know my insurance will only cover the tt. But I need surgey on the legs & arms. Would also like a "boobie" lift and small reduction. (I want to be a d cup instead of a dd). But I still want to wait till I am near my goal weight.
Good luck on all your success!! Keep up the great work.

Hi,,,
Must have missed this post the other day.
I've been looking for you on the boards. So happy for you! I was surprised at how I responded when my son graduated. I choked when they called his name, and a tear forced it self.
Be sure and post those photos... !!
Your boobies are in my prayers and I hope there are no complications for you.
Best wishes
