After I met him yesterday in his officeto get the bandages ect.. off, he took my mom and I to the doctors lounge for a beverage

and waited with us until our taxi arrived. I've been around doctors for 19 years and there's not many that would do that on a Saturday afternoon! We will probably be back as I think my mom is going to get them removed! I know God sent her with me for a reason! Anyway we leave in about an hour for home. I'll be here if anyone wants to ask me anything. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you wonderful,loving ladies. I do owe you my life! Lots of love to all!

Kim

congratulations on your explant. It sure feels good tohave it over

with and now you are ready to start the next chapter in your life.

Rest up a few days like you mentioned, and then you will be able to

slowly start detoxing. I am so happy for you and even happier that

your mom is considering an explant too! That is a reason to

celebrate! Take care and keep in touch about how you are

progressing.

Hugs, kathy
