Thats what is going to heal this battered body. My surgery went well and Im happy with the results. It is still swollen.
I spoke with my doc about tweeking the surgery just a little in about 6 months. No more big surgeries for me, but I would like just a little more off my neck. He told me that he could do a little liposuction as an out patient.
Im so lucky to be here writing this post. After going 3 rounds and winning the battle against OC, Im very thankful. Even with the scars and after effects, Im a happy person.
Suemarie, I would love for you to visit anytime you have the time.
Hope everyone is enjoying their day! 10-10-10
