Caution..Photos ... ANOTHER HURDLE ANOTHER DAY....WOOT VICTORY!

 Thank you Nic.  Thank you for the kindess of a stranger towards another stranger .... brothers and sisters on the journey of life we are...  My daughter who never gets sick, I mean as in never even having had the flu presented with a very rare scenario a few months back but it was not until a couple weeks ago that it manifested as something so totally different than what she was treated initially for .... the story is in this thread I shared about five days ago...

I am so happy to see this post.. I have such joy form you both! I also wanted to thank you so much for my package! To my amazement and delight almost everything fit- and those that didn't are being fitted to my dear sweet babies.. I have worn 3 of your beautiful dresses already! You are amazing.. And obviously it is in the genes!

MsMartita has dressed me for the season head to toe.  Gotta luv her. 

 My beautiful 'lil sista Fawn ... the prettiest girl at the ball ... I am soooooooooooo happy you got package #1 and liked the contents ... package #2 is on its way ... I am sooooooooooo looking forward to meet up with you in NY this year ... I still keep the pictures we took in New York in '09 at the OH Conf in Rye .... Remember us at the Halloween Costume Party that night??? Me as Jasmine, you the Ballerina and Teresa dressed as a witch? that was fun,...


You sat at the table holding the doll I made you in your pretty dress that you wore on the closing night when we saw Elena and others at the fashion show ... how much fun was that? Check us out ... I KNEW YOU COULD FIT MY CLOTHES LOL when you told me you couldn't... weight is just a number ... inches talk ...

Like mother Like daughter!  No keeping my Panalocas down.  I'm so glad DD is recovering nicely. 

 My Panamaniac sista .... well let me rephrase that ... I am the panamaniac and you are the trinipanaloca LOL you have Trinidad and Panama going on .... Thank you so much beautiful MSW LOL some people thought your initials was a title and started flashing credentials the other day LOL that was sooooooooooo funny .... only my beautiful sista Marcia would cause that effect ... and I have you all over my album ... We share the same roots and the first time I ever met you was at an OH Conference too ... here we go dancing together at the closing night dance .... 

check us out dancing .... and check out my batwings in full swing I had my brachioplasty a few weeks after this picture was taken...


and here we go a month ago when we had breakfast early in the morning when you travelled up my way for your treatments at one of the facilities in the area... oh my beautiful sista ... thank you for sharing the story of your travails with us and with my daughter ... now I understand your user name .... MSW (your initials) WILL NOT SETTLE! and neither would I!!!!

Here we go our before and afters ... THAT IS WHY I ENCOURAGE ALL TO COME TO AN OH CONFERENCE ... AWESOME PEOPLE WE MEET THERE....

I luv luv luv our collage!  That pic of us dancing represents a major NSV.  When I saw it in one of your threads, I wished I was around 'her'  size.   Only later did I notice: IT   WAS   ME!       

Wearing loose fitting size six jeans, this TriniPanaLoca still only saw fat.  I felt so fat I did not recognize myself.   For the first time I realized I am no longer obese.  I still have major head issues but that picture is a theraputic break through for me.    Much luv! 

       Oh, and I was hysterical over the initials/ credentials thing.  Who needs credentials to post to a message board that has zip to do with career? 

I've got some credentials:  My initials are the same right side up and upside down. 

Pehaps some MSW's need an MSW.      

Beautiful pictures. You have come so far and your daughter is gorgeous and your son is a looker for sure WOWZA. You should keep up the picture thing, if people do not like it then there is a block button BUT it is also a choice that they do not open your posts, both of which they could choose.

 Thank you Bonnie ... oh I fully intend to keep up the 'picture thing' as you call it LOL..  I don't recall holding up a gun to anyone's head and telling them WATCH ME!  .... I will continue to share my journal a picture a day ... and I have been sharing it for as far back as 2007 once I got back on my feet following my post op complication and recovery...  Thanks for allowing me to share ....
