Re: Pat

[Guest guest]

Pat my furniture was 32 years old. So it was time. I didn't spend a lot of

money on it, just got some cheap stuff that is new and looks pretty. Heck at

my age it should last long enough. My grandkids are all pretty well grown now

and so it is just basically just my daughter and I, and we are rarely in the

living room. Just a nice place to invite company to sit. It makes me happy to

have a pretty room.

I wish you could have a room that made you happy too. Heck I wish everyone

could have a room to make them happy. We all need a place to go and feel happy

in. My friend from church came and she has known me many years and knew what

my old living room looked like and she was amazed at how much this one made

her feel so much more soothed. She said it suited me. Of course there is a

running joke now about me and my pink and lilac throw pillows, but that is what

I wanted and to me they fit.

Like seeing you with the various colored hair. It fit your personality. I

could never do that, but I enjoyed seeing yours. I always looked forward to

seeing what color you were going to be. You gave a special spark to the meetings

with no one ever knowing what color to expect. I think we all have our own

colors that add our own sparks to our lives. I am into pastel, pretty, girly

colors right now. For so many years I was so practical. Now I want pretty. I

love lacy things also. I may not have the body for all the lacy things I like

in public, but in private,for myself, I can wear them, and I do. I had never

had a black bra, or anything but white or beige until after this surgery, as

I had to buy them at the foundation store. Now I can buy lacy black ones, and

colored ones. I don't wear plain old white ones anymore.

For all you newbies, or going to be's, I may be old, but you to can look

forward to wearing pretty, lacy, feminine things, at least in private. Things

that make you feel good. I have not had any corrective surgery yet, but I can't

wait to wear even more after I have my panni removed, boobs taken up and some

things tightened up. I am living a life I had given up on. I go and do more

than I had in years.

Okay, enough. Off my soapbox. Just I am happy about having had my surgery

and I have had such good results. I have not, as of yet at least, had any real

problems. I try to be reasonable, but I live like a normal person. No one

knows by my actions or looking at my that I have had surgery. I have seen

people

with RNY's who look bad. I have not had that problem.

Love to all, Pearl
