Girl, I so glad you got this whole thing figured out! I don't remember seeing any sunken pics but yea, the crackhead look aint cute!! LOL We have such wonderful ladies and gents on this board. I know I would totally be lost in the sauce if it wasn't for everybody's .02! As my husband calls you guys my "imaginary friends" I'm closer to some of you that I've never met or talked to more than my IRL friends.

Hijack, Shani, my DH was the same way at first.   Now, he comes home from work and says, "So...is Inky giving y'all **** again?"

I'm soooo glad to hear that you aren't staring down a revision anymore.  You always keep plugging away at whatever challenge comes your way on this journey and you end up with such great information that is helpful to others.  Thanks for sharing that.

I'm so happy to read such an inspiring post and I thank you along with everyone else who continues to be there and pay it forward.  I've started bookmarking so many things (once I learned how lol) and I always feel like, wow these folks really have educated themselves more than most.  Scary thoughts still trickle into my mind, and I have days where I think i'm crazy for considering a risky revision surgery.  I fear failing ... again.  You provide us with strength in your words and in your story to see past those insecurities and keep our eye on the prize.  I guess it's just comforting to know that even though there will be bumps in the road, someone like you will be there to help steer us back to where we should be.  That is invaluable.

Someone once said, I just want to be myself... but fantastic.  That stuck with me and Lori, I think you have achieved it!! 

Thank you,
  Tami

What more can one say- ditto to all the above & more so!  You are truly an inspiration & all of the hard work and effort you put out there to help pre/post ops is appreciated more than mere words can express.  Thank you!!
Every opinion we share, every favor we perform, every moment we intently listen to someone talk about themselves is our opportunity to pass along something positive to a person who needs us.
