Been A While ..

Well , it has been a while since I posted here  . Let's just say life has been busy , strange .. and sad .  I was recetly married April 7th, to a most wonderfu man , who loves me and treats me as if I am the only person alive . He has shown me so many new things , and how love should be . We went on our honeymoon in Nassau on a cruise .. had the time of my life .. Also inn April , I had my TT in Richmond VA .. on the day of my surgery my Mom and sister where on their way to to come see me , and they where in a terrible car accident .. Mom Died 16 days later . It was very sad .. and more than I thought I could bare .. but she is with God now ..,and I am healing .  I had the 2nd round of plastics in June .. Butt Lift with Skin Flap Augmention , Breast Lift .. and well , I had major complications , I bled out .. and ended up going back into surgery the following day to stop the bleeding , I had 6 units of blood .. went home , ended back in the hospital for adrenal issues ... got a staph infection in my butt ... Got a 3rd degree burn on my butt from a heated rice sock .. ( Long story )  In July , Hubby bought me a brand new Mustang Pony ... all the bells and whistles .. 2 weeks ago , on my way to the PS .. I wa**** from behind .. a man going 70 MPH .. almost fipped me . I am now recouping from those injuries . Most are soft tissue damage to my head , neck and my TT area . My PS is working to heal the hematoma caused by the seatbelt . My shoulder is in a sling from the seatbelt as well .. I will be fine .. but can we say . Enuf alreaday .. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... I know hard to believe .. but it has been one dark cloud ..  I am coming out of the cloud now .. the infection has gone , my burn is almost healed .. I am scheduled to go on another cruise in October .. Doctors orders believe it or not .. healing from the car accident .  The PS .. I lost 16 pounds so I am trying to get used to my new body .. I love my new butt .. and my lift .. I go back into surgery one last time in October to get my breast and my arms done .. I so glad I am on my last leg .  I miss this board .. I used to come here and learn so much ..  Well .. enough about my dark days .. I Hope all of you are well and loving life ..  I still love my life .. and so very blessed to be here with you all .  Natalie

Bless your heart!!! You have had a rough time, and I totally agree that enough is enough!! Hope your cruise is FABULOUS and that you heal completely from everything. Welcome Back to the board!! Hugs,   Piggybabe

Oh my goodness, you have been thru quite an ordeal!!!!!! I'm so sorry to hear about your mom and my thoughts are with you. I hope that things calm down for you and that your last round of PS goes well! Nice to see you here!!!!!!!!!

Honey, you know you've been in my prayers for months now. I hope the dark cloud is finally moving off shore (so to speak) and things will start going much more smoothly for you and DH. Enjoy that cruise and take care of yourself!

I thought I was having a tough year what with my breast cancer scare and lumpectomy.  You've outdone me like a thousandfold.  I am so very sorry about your mom, Nat ... and everything else of course, but what happened to your mom is the most impossible to turn around.  I send you love and hugs and prayers that you continue to heal and that your cruise is the best ever.  We're going to the western caribbean (sailing out of Tampa) on 9/30 ... Of course all 4 locations (Costa Maya, Cozumel, Belize and Grand Cayman Island) were hit by Dean but I'm sure we'll manage.   L&H&K always... Your ever-lovin' Mermaid
