ACK on the bites. We have a mosquito problem here in our backyard but it is better than last year. This time last year I looked like a bubble berry.
Not much panned other than going to my last preop office appt this morning and then coming home and doing some light cleaning providing I can keep my eyes open for that. I haven't been sleeping all that well and Sometimes I will fall asleep in the middle of the day. It is one of those things where insomnia rampant rules. Hubby me to get a lseeping aide but I would rather not- being that they can be addictive and I was addicted to them at one time, no not gunna do it.

Hi all,
Yes, I am late again. I actually slept in today. WOW! Today not much planned. I will be reviewing what will happen tonight at group. I hope we have a good turnout. Went for a walk with hubby and dog yesterday. Now covered with bites. I prefer trails that are meant for walking on.
What's up?

I was reading somewhere that a lot of plastic surgeons are now shying away from thigh lifts because of the high cases of necrotic tissue. I dunno if it is true but might be something you can look in to.

I thas been one nasty hot day today. I am NOT cooking tonight, I will be makign the DH sandwiches. He knows it too.
I was woke up this morning with my surgeons office calling to set up my last preop office appt for tomorrow morning at 915 am. YAY!! I will have a surgery date when I leave there tomorrow. WHEW it is finally setting in that this is real. I feel like throwing up, but I won't.
So I guess they have the EMHE house about finished here in Fayetteville. I just hope the people who are getting it appreciate it enough NOT to take out loans or mortgages that they may not be able to pay back. I truly hope they treasure it.
I have been on the phone all day with people who have been calling here because I posted my excitement on my FB. LOL never knew so many people cared- but still have NOT told my mother in law and I will NOT tell her until after the surgery. Reason being is she is a busy body who LOVES to broadcast things and then a lot of other people crawl out of the woodwork saying they do nto want me to do it because so and so died or so and so failed. So I am keeping quiet until after.

Hi all,
Doing some preliminary research on plastic surgeons. My first interest is a thigh lift. Can any of your recommend one?

I am pleased to have found a local support group here in Albuquerque that meets twice a month. I get to connect with them the first time on Wednesday evening. I don't quite know what to expect since I was so lucky to have such good support in NC. I am hoping for good friendship and camaraderie. All of you Carolinians have a good day for me.

Topic: Late Monday Roll Call
Can't believe I slept in! Normally I am up before sun up. Well today I have an appointment at Carolina Hearing but thinking I'm going to wait until I hear back from VR. Maybe go through them again for care. I took a break from job hunting to see if VR can offer some assistance. Hopefully they can. I am trying to keep my isolation and boredom in control and be thankful for time at home. I used to crave being able to stay home. Right now, I am trying to have faith that all things will work out. I am blessed regardless of what the cir****tances are. I have riches that may not be tangible but I know I have them. I know this sounds silly to some of you but I just felt I needed to encourage myself and take stock of the positives in my life.
Tomorow night is our first support group meeting. I have something interesting planned and I hope it goes well. I went to a meetup there Saturday and it is a beautiful library. The study rooms are quite large for a new group so I think you will enjoy it.
What's on your agenda?

Topic: RE: OMG the type of surgery bashing....
I just feel that I know what is right for me. I am not one to bash on other surgeries but when they go around telling people they are going to fail that is (excuse me here) BULL**** THat is sabotage in its crudest form. I do not want certain surgeries for MY own reasons, not because someone says this one is going to work and that one will fail. TO be hoinest I am not gunna want a surgery that MANY people out there are saying is FAIL proof because I for one will be one of the first people who calls them on it and tells them to go wipe their butts cuz they are full of it.
