Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hi Deb! I was thinking about you when I was in Korea....I am so glad to hear you are done with your explant surgery and that you had such expert skills in Dr. Kolb taking care of you and your needs, especially the ruptured implants. That's always scary when you have surprises upon being opened up. I am just so happy for you! Now you can begin healing. Enjoy your time in Utah, and take good care of yourself. And I'm thankful for your willingness to be another voice that is so desperately needed, telling women that there are dangers in getting breast implants. God bless!

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Hi Deb, It is wonderful to hear that your explant is behind you, and that you are embracing your future with open arms. I have no doubt that you will enjoy much better health, and I like your father's saying - that is how I live my life. I don't expect perfection because life is anything but perfect, but I try to find joy in the many gifts that I have received in life. My in-laws were Italian so I can totally relate to the accent that I loved so much, and their words of wisdom will stay with me forever.
