Topic: back from hospital again
Hi!  I'm still alive and back from the hospital for a second time.  The heat is wearing on me a bit (dizzy), but I'm remembering to drink drink drink!  I ended up pretty sick after vomiting for nearly 13 days and they widened the stricture so I feel better now!

I'm still tired and sadly, I've had to find my dog a new home because he needs surgery I cannot afford.  The awesome thing is that I believe God put somebody in my life because not only will my dog have a terrific home, but the folks taking him will give him the medical attention he needs.  (I'll go for a smaller dog next time)  I have decided to wait several months before considering another canine - and also, I'm certain God will place the right one with me.

Topic: RE: Residency program at the University of WA - plastic surgery

Hi Holly,

I'm in the process of gathering info for an extensive upper thigh lift probaby next summer. I called the U  and got info from a nice man. I'm away from home right now or I could give you more info. The quote I got for the thigh lift was about $5200.00. From a private surgeon in Bellevue it was about $14000.00. Quite a difference.

I was told to call in January when I was about 6 months from wanting surgery. The consult is $250.00. Credit card billing can be used also. I plan to get "flyer miles" and then pay it off right away. I'm saving money from my part time job and I start drawing SS next March. That will be a gift to me.

Hope this helps. I have the contact numbers at home but if you call the UW and tell them you want to speak to someone in the Residency program and that you want info on plastic surgery they will be able to help you.

Hi,
Can you tell me what the process was like?  Did you just call and make an appointment or did you have to get a referal?  How long did it take to get an appointment?  How long after your appointment was your surgery?  Was the after care covered in the price?  Anything else we should know....lol???

Topic: Surgery on Wednesday
My surgery is Wednesday morning, guess I'm starting to stress feeling all cranky and kinda weepy that could be the 9 days on sugar free liquids and protein shakes too I guess.  Decided not to go to work tomorrow don't need the added stress and all the food smells that come from the break room will just make hungier at this point.  Realy wish Wednesday would just get here the count down is making me crazy.
