Delivering the enboobies - Deb

[Guest guest]

Dear Deb,

I have no idea who the manufacturer was of my

implants. My explanting doctor will identify all that

once they're out. I love your analogy of " delivering "

the implants. I've never had a baby but it sounds

true.

I know I have to live my life differently and by that

I mean treating myself properly. That's one thing I

always severely lacked in doing. I looked after

everyone else but me.

I really want to put the implant chapter in my life

behind me and move on. What I will take with me from

this experience is all I learned about myself and

others around me. How to love myself and all the

wonderful Angels on this board. That I won't leave

behind.

I'm so glad to hear you are doing well. This gives me

hope that one can go through this and get better.

Will you be coming back to the U.S. in the near future

or will you stay in Korea to continue your work?

If you come back to the U.S., I hope you can go

riding. I've never been involved in anything that is

so good for one's self esteem.

Love & hugs,

Traci

Hi Traci, I have been really busy over these past few weeks and I know your time is getting really close! So I wanted to thank you for responding to my message...and let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers for a successful "delivery!" My husband and I will be here in Korea until July 15, 2008 continuing on with our Missionary work and having the time of our lives. I still have my challenges and get very tired at times, but all in all I am feeling so much better than I have in years, and we are keeping up with the 20 year olds that we serve with. My husband is a very young 70 year old and I am getting to be a "younger" 53 year old! So I thank the good Lord every day for health, vigor and the opportunity to serve here. If I can figure out how to post photos I'll put up a few of the amazing things we are seeing and participating

in here. I do hope all goes well with you...and everyone. My prayer is that you all will experience the steady, progressive healing I am being blessed with. It is difficult to stick to "The Maker's Diet" or even Dr. Kolb's recommended diet, but I do everything I can with what is available and Dr. Kolb's office mails supplements to me here, so I am religious with taking them. It is all working for me. Keep your spirits up and keep posting your photos. It is so great to see what our sisters all look like! Love and Hugs! Deb
