Wendy, I got back from the ps office. I'm doing well. My seromas are closed and not draining. No pain either. The larger one was really scar tissue. It is getting smaller. I asked him about my second round of plastics. He said that I'm ready to start looking into it. YAY!! He liked me in my blonde long hair wig and cute undies! I'll be seeing him on Valentine's Day!! Take care, Lucy

Good morning everyone! I had my job interview yesterday afternoon. I wore a brand new 2 piece suit, all in black moleskin. I even had bought and wore black heeled shoes - like at least 2 inches high! High heels, the first time in years. I had no problem in walking either! It was a long walk from the parking lot to the main entrance. YAY!!! I first met with the HR representative. Everyone was so friendly and personable. I had to watch a video on the hospital and its services. That was a nice introduction to the facility. The HR interview was about 2 hours. I had to talk about my job experiences going back some 20+ years. My current place of employment, almost 19 years was like a storybook, all the trials and tribulations and saga of my work history. Lots of politics. Then I was taken to meet the VP of Medical Affairs. I had to wait for him as he was on call and running late. They asked me if I wanted something to drink. Diet pop or water. I asked for a bottle of water. While waiting for the doc, I read through the job description. It is exactly what I have been doing all along. When he entered the room, I took an instant liking to him. He was very personable and easy to talk to. Of course, he was a cutie pie too!! Even before he met me, he got a glowing recommendation on me from a physician who used to be on my medical staff and was President of the Medical Staff. How cool is that!! So we chatted for some time and it looks positive for me. Now, they will check into my two references and then hopefully I will get called in for a second interview. The second interview will be with the President of the hospital (usually called CEO), Chief Nurse Executive, a VP, some other docs and the staff in the department I would manage. I really liked the hospital. The best thing is that it is a 100% smoke free campus. No smoking anywhere; not even outside the doors. YAY!!!! The commute is only a few extra miles for me. Instead of me driving southwest, I would be going northwest. The traffic would be reversed for me, that will be much better. I will be driving in the opposite of the traffic jams. Another big PLUS. On the down side, I would be giving up 5 days of vacation time until I am there for a couple of years. Well, it's a trade off. I am so excited I could scream. I hope they make their decision soon. I want to get out of my job so much. Keep your fingers, toes and anything else crossed for me. This morning I'm off to see my cute plastic surgeon! YAY!! I'm wearing one of my undie purchases from Victoria Secret. It's a lacy white bikini pants with rhinestones throughout. So CUTE and SEXY! I also donned on my long blonde wig. I just felt like being a very naughty girl today. I'll post later! Hugs, Lucy

No the iron doesn't hurt, but it is 4 hrs I have to sit there and be irritated LOL! I don't feel great after them for a little, but though. It isn't too bad though, well worth the time if it raises my hemoglobin for surgery! I am amazed it is so close too! I can't even imagine what I will look like without all this belly! I just can't fathom it. I did get my credit card approved at 8.9 percent to do my other plastics! I was happy about that, they gave me a 20,000 dollar limit, so I can pretty much get what I want done. Now I just have to decide how much hot can the world handle between the two of us? LOL! I guess they will just have to manage! I sooooo flirted shamelessly at work last night! I was terrible. It is fun to be naughty sometimes! Well I am happy for you and your new found confidence. I hope you keep feeling good. Wendy

I am glad everything is healing up for you! I am watching your recovery closely since next tuesday is my day! I am so nervous, but glad to have it over with. The iron infusions are helping me and my hemoglobin is sloooowly moving up. Hurray for lace! I love lacy stuff, I took my hubby into VS yesterday to see what he likes for after surgery! You are my inspiration girl! I saw the cutest valentines lingerie in there. I won't be up to that though, but it is fun getting his opinion. I am glad you are doing so well and good luck on your interview, I hope you get the job! Wendy
