More Barbie plastics update

Hi all,

I'm feeling stronger each day. I'm able to do a little more. Yesterday, I felt bored for the first time... THAT is a good sign!! I read two magazines. I'm tired of my recliner. I slept a full night without help. I'm able to sit up more.

Today I feel more restless and want my stitches out. I'm tired of this now. I'm exercising my legs every chance I get. Foot flexes etc. I'm able to take flat steps a bit easier and am walking with my walker more, flexing those tight weak calves. I'm hoping I can stand in the shower on my own on Wednesday. That's my goal. Stiches and drain should be out Tuesday afternoon.

I've ordered my sets of Spanx and look forward to being out of the binder. I'm healing well. The doctor gave me some great post plastics cream which really softens the skin and helps release the tapes.

I'm happy with my body work as well as breasts. He called them 16 year old b@@bies... I said doctor, mine at 16 never looked so good!!! I told him this may be the meds talking but he sure knows how the h@ll to build a woman!!! He's very proud of his work. You just don't know how much skin has been removed... he's saying 18% of my body.

I still have some swelling in the seat/thighs and one foot tends to swell... and I have a sore vein... the support stockings have helped greatly.

Any how, if you've been following my story I just wanted to keep you updated. Thank you for the encourgement even if I've been unable to respond to you. I'm typing awkward-angled from my recliner.

Thank you,
Kim

 I wish you quick healing! I am so far out from plastics, but I am already worried about the pain. Yikes! Rest up and eat your protein! congrats!

Believe it or not you're up and walking that next morning. I walked up three flights of stairs the next morning.

The swelling is what's painful. Unfortunately, I'm a sweller.

Hey Kim,
  sending you lots of healing wishes, your blessed to have Janine as a friend!!!!
                               take care, Chris R

Hi J-Lo Barbie!!!
Glad to hear you are on the mend.  And that each day is getting better.

Do you have to go back to Mexico to get the stitches removed and all?  Or is there a doc locally that is gonna take care of you?

I want 16 year old boobies!  I went bra shopping today and couldnt find a single one that fit right and didnt look like i had grandma gooch boobs.  Oh well,  I'll keep hunting.

Keep resting and getting better!  sending gentle hugs to ya!

Hi Kelly,

What you need to do is roll up each b@@b like a taco then place each strategically in your underwire bra cups!!! That's what I did before I got these these 16 year old ta tas!!! I really can get a job at Hooters hocking wings to deadbeat dads now!!!

I'll be very proud to show you my new ta tas!

Yes, down to Mexico... about a 2 1/2 hour trip. Not too bad.

I knew you would hit a turning point soon Kim....I am so happy for you!!!!  

Thanks Janine. My walking has been improving an I actually made dinner for my housemate and myself tonight! Still some swelling but a vast improvement over last week.

kim, i'm happy for you!  i'm praying that you heal up quickly and with as little pain as possible.  (i can't wait until i get to the plastics stage of things!)

Thanks for the updates Kim!!! Please take of yourself, and post pictures when you can!
