YaHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hubby hit the lottery!  We aren't millionaires but he won enough to do a couple of things for me, pay off his bills, etc.  I got a brand new Cadillac.  We are both getting new computers.  But the most exciting thing of all is there is now money for my plastics!  I've already had my first consultation with the surgeon.  He was really nice, very professional, and the staff was great as well.  I feel very comfortable with him and have my date set for my first round on March 29.  I'm having brachioplasty, abdominoplasty, and breast lift and augmentation. I already have my "size" picked out and am ready to get this over with.  I will be in the hospital overnight for this round.  The second round will be scheduled for about 3 or 4 weeks later, depending on how my recuperation goes.  In that round I'm getting my thighs and rear end done.  I am also having a partial face lift done.  I had asked for a neck lift but the way he is going to approach it, my neck will be corrected as he is doing around my mouth.  I have no desire to try and pass myself off as 20, and was a little leery about this face lift but he explained to me exactly how they do it and how the neck gets fixed along with it so I'm in.  It was humiliating, having all the pictures taken but I guess I do need that before and after.  I really am very excited and wondering how much difference there will be in clothing sizes.  I bought a pair of pants the other day that were a size 8.  They fit perfectly.  I'm still gathering clothes to donate and took 2 more bags over there this morning.

My weight has been bouncing between 141 and 144 for about the last 4-6 weeks.  I was trying to shoot for 135 but probably won't see that until after the plastics. 

For the first time in my life I am comfortable in my own skin.  I no longer feel like a freak in a side show and have noticed that I have been getting noticed.  It's very flattering!  I'm really looking forward to the plastics; I can hardly stand looking in the mirror when  I get out of the shower.

Well that's all for me for tonight.  I've got a busy day tomorrow and it's time for bed.
