 I'm down for 24 hours - something I'm not good at!   I had a medial thigh lift last Thursday - just three weeks after brachioplasty and a boob-job (not planned initially to be so close but the brachio went so well and I had to time now - so I went for it.    The outcomes have been very well worth it - but healing takes time and patience and while I have the time - I lack the patience to sit still for long.   One of my leg drains started to pull blood again about an hour ago - I was on my way out the door for a few hours - and now am down for 24........the body needs rest.......my mind races.

I took my first shower in a week - and don't recognize the body - I've worked so hard in the gym and the excess (redundant) skin hid the results - now the results are apparent.   I look and think how amazing......and how grateful I am to be healthy and fit and thin.   I bought 6 bathing suits!!!!  I haven't had on a bathing suit in 25 years.   The scars will always be with me - they will remind me of this journey - they will put off some people I'm sure.........but for me.......while I'd love to have never needed to do any of this - the message in it isn't lost on me.....if you choose to - you can change anything about yourself.    Susan
