"Vacation" update

Last Thursday was day one of "vacation". I had my silicone implants removed due to rippling and some capsulary issues and redone. The Dr tried using a larger implant to help minimize the rippling. This meant the skin has been stretched more so naturally more tender, especially under the armpits. Ice packs are my friend. I feel like a human twin pop...meet lemon and lime. So far, looks OK but hard to tell with swelling. What has really been giving me the most problem is the constipation from the anesthesia and pain meds. I stopped the pain meds to rest my insides, but still trying to get those antibiodics in. Took mild lax, then went to the other extreme. Needless to say, I'm wiped out. Hanging in there with Tylenol. What I do know is that this has been the longest 15 months since this whole ordeal started. Pathetic that I own more surgical bras than Victoria Secret bras! As for this "vacation"...sometimes the climb is worth it to get to the awesome view. It's almost in sight!

thanks to everyone for all the good wishes...you're the best medicine/cocktail!
