Barbie's plastic surgery BOOTCAMP

Hi All!!!
Thank you Janine for posting on my behalf and thank you for coming over and giving my caretaker a break. This is so appreciated, you just don't realize. People say they'll help and don't follow through. I know who my true friends are now.

This recovery due to my complications has been EXCEEDINGLY DIFFICULT on each of us. I'm thankfull for such a great housemate and thankfull she's unemployed. I don't know what I would have done. I still depend on her for meals, setting up my recliner, doing laundry, shopping, just about everything still.

Yes, I feel much stronger. Feel optimistic about getting my stitches and drain out next week. I have two infected spots which are draining and I'm on my second round of antibiotics. I'm taking a milder pain med as of today. Yes I'm eating a lot of things to put weight on. I have no desire for them though. Sandwiches, pasta, skinny cow ice cream bars, yogurt protein shakes, protein bars, fruit of all kinds... I'm gaining which is medically necessary as I'm underweight now. Maybe five more pounds to go.

I'm looking forward to gtting back to my old routine of working out and eating healthy and running around.

The surgeon did a beautiful job and I highly recommend him as well as his staff and the aftercare facility. Pleased with everything.

Thanks all! I may not be on here for a couple of days but willl check back.

Kim

Hi Kim!  Glad to hear you're back on home soil and on the mend!  Take good care and do everything that Nurse Neen says!  lol  Seriously, I'm very happy for you and will look forward to meeting you sometime!  xo The Other Kim

Hi sweetie!!! I'm so glad things are looking up, but sad that you have had a rough go of it!!! It's great that Neen was able to be there for you! I wish I lived closer to help out too!!! Thank God you had your housemate to help you out, He works in mysterious ways sometimes!!!
What a turn of fate that you have to be gaining weight now! Good luck with that sweetie!!!
I don't doubt what a great job Dr. Q did on you, I've seen his work and know he is the BOMB!!!!!!
If there is anyway we can hook up next week when you are here for stitches and drains out let me know. And if you need any help going down there or anything, I'm here too!! I did it with Kirsten so I think I'm kind of a pro now!!! lol Are you taking the train down or driving?? Let me know if you need me, really!!!
So good to see you posting!!  have a great weekend sweetie!!!
bigg huggs and love, Becky

Awwwwwwwwwww Kim you do not have to thank me, that is what friends are for!

You are going to get stronger and stronger each day and before you know it this is only going to be a faint memory.

You look great in spite of what you have been through and can hardly wait to see the final outcome of MissBarbieJ-Lo!!!

Kim .. it sounds like you have had a rough time, but the outcome will be so cool for you, feel better soon and congrats to you!
