Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Wanna know some more about my face lift? Yah sure ya do. Ok well, OUCH!!!!! Day 2 was real hell until I got some vicodin. That was wonderful stuff - almost like the 60's. <grin> I'm back and blue, but not nearly as painful as I had been, even yesterday. I'm wearing something called a "Jaw Bra" and it makes me look like a mummy. Top off the fact that I am not allowed to wash my hair, and I pretty much look scarey enough to scare a monster on Halloween. Mr Bill, my new sweety, came over this weekend to take care of me (what an angel/saint of a man) and to make me feel better he bought me a beautiful lace scarf. I wear the scarf under my Banana Republic felt hat and then wrap it around my neck. Looks more acceptable that way, altho he doesn't mind what I look like as long as I feel ok. He changed my bandaging this morning and for the first time I was able to see what I look like after the surgery. Wow! I almost started crying. No more hangy baggy draping skin. No more wrinkled hanging neck. And I have my face back!!!!! It's still rather swollen, with a lot of bruising, but OHMYGAWD it's my real face. The Dr did exactly what I wanted, and he did it well. Would I ever do this again? If I remember the pain I won't - but it might be like giving birth...one forgets... But at this moment, all bruised and swollen, I'm not sorry I did it at all... Wednesday the staples and stitches come out... Sam (thyroid-less, ovary-less and Armour-ized) k9gang@... www.stopthethyroidmadness.com Quote
