Trisha, you goddess!

She is doing well, looks GREAT and is excited to have the girls looking in the right direction. Being discharged this afternoon. She is in pain and taking meds for that but, did I say how wonderful she looks? Oh Trish, you goddess! tee

Thanks, Tee! It's good to know that she's doing well and is headed in the "right direction". I hope we get to see her this weekend. How are YOU doing? Joy

Another kitchen almost done this week! I'm stiff as a board as I installed the floor. Looks really good though. We'll catch up next weekend, eh? Today: yardwork! tee

Wow! You are a wonder woman! Joe's getting ready to rototill the garden, preparing it for this year's veggies, and I will be planting flower baskets today. Do some stretchs to work out the kinks! Give G a hug for me! Joy

Tee, thanks for the word on Trisha. I am glad she is going home but am sure it is painful. Good meds will help!! Julia

I'm so glad to hear that! Looking down and seeing that panni gone is bound to help the pain meds do their job. I want to be a goddess!! Trish makes it look so easy! Patty

It is definitely your turn. Her transformation is amazing, as was mine (hey, I can appreciate art!) When your turn comes, you will have us there with bells on to get you through it. And after it's all over, you will wonder why you hadn't done it sooner. Trust me, if you can do it, DO IT. xoxoo tee

I can imagine that I will feel that, because I felt it so much after I had the WLS and lost the weight. I kept feeling like DARN why did I not do this five years ago (at least)?!? After the house sells I will feel more free to spend the money getting the plastic surgery done. It isn't the main reason - but certainly one of my reasons for selling the house. I think I am going to schedule my consultation appointment, because once the funds are free John and I are in agreement it's a go. We relisted our house six weeks ago. We went with a new agent and hopefully with new carpet and even MORE curb appeal it will move. It's spring, things are starting to sell and it has got to be my turn! I'm very proud of my kids - they've been real sports. They are getting their beds made every day because they don't do it "pretty" enough, but their trampoline has been down a long time, and they are sick of not having all their junk around. I think the dogs have suffered the most. Their toys and ratty bones are not out, their dog beds gone and they aren't allowed upstairs on the new carpet without supervision. I wonder if all these months of being perfect will change us now that we have proven we really can live like this. I'm most worried that in reaction to all these months of suffering we will revert to even worse version slobs than we ever were once we don't have to be show ready anymore! Patty
