I imagine everyone is outside enjoying the summer, or on vacation, or.....

It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you;

it's what you leave behind you when you go.

hi Lidia,

i have not been on board for a while. i had a complication with my

tummy tuck. it got infected and i wound up in the hospital for 6

days. had more surgery by a local plastic surgeon and have an

infectious desease doc looking after my infection.

i'm home now, but with a picc line, i am infusing myself with IV

antibiotics twice a day as well as tending to the packing and

dressing of my wound. not fun.

however, the face lift is in good shape and i lost weight in

hospital. but life came to a grinding halt. my son is coming down

from canada tonite to help me for a few days and then on wednesday,

my ex-wife is coming for 12 days to look after me, schlep me to

doctor appointments, shop etc.

if i had it to do over, i would not go so far away for plastic

surgery without a clear plan for post op care in my own city. i went

into the surgery with a high degree of naivete and came home with a

list of things that should be done, but without even having a primary

care physician. if it weren't for my fill doc here, who knows what

would have happened.

meanwhile, I'm on the mend. i'm waiting on tenter hooks for sandy to

return. i have had some advice from a doctor in the hospital who

wants to be my primary, for preventive heart and stroke therapy and

need to discuss it with her.

hope everyone else is doing well.

I'm here!! Just had my second PS. An abdominoplasty with several hernia

repairs on June 7. There hernias were serious, they were not sure at the

beginning whether they could have finished the PS.

Stanford NOW has an official Band Plastic Surgeon. Dr. Lorenz was very proud

of himself. He found the port and MOVED it. (the first surgery was my panni,

and he avoided going high enough to interfere with the Port)Everybody told

him it was surgery 101, but he was a little cautious. He moved it two inches

to the left to fix hernias and stitch muscles.

Am home after 2 days. Excellent care. My Plastic Surgeon does most of his

work on deformed kids. He is so bashful, but I was tickled when he wanted

to be with me right after I woke up. He just said " I did it " !!

He had the chief of surgeons at Stanford do the hernia repairs. I guess most

Plastic Surgeons do not do that if they are serious, and mine were pretty

complex. They worked together.

I was so grateful!! WHAT a BAND journey this is!!??

and Barb, so sorry to hear about your complications, but glad

to know that you are both on the mend. Sounds like I'll be asking

advice from both of you before I attempt my own PS. It will be a

while since I'm not losing anymore and can't seem to make a dent in

the last 50 lbs. Continue to get the care you need to be back to

your best.

Dan, I think you are right. It is that time of year. I was just

getting a little lonely whenever I checked to see how everyone was

doing. Speaking of outside, I started my fist ever vegetable garden

this year. It is so great. Therepeutic and exciting. I have no

idea what I'm doing, but things look like they just might grow. My

dad decided to help my sisters and I each get started with a garden.

He will be 70 this year, had heart surgery last year and seems to

be " catching up " with time that he didn't spend with us in the past.

Its really nice to be learning something new and I'm so excited that

I'm able to bend over now in order to plant things and weed. 100 lbs

ago I was lucky to be able to pick a toy up off the floor. Hope

everyone is having fun.
