Off to Mexico again

Yes I am happy about it too.   I haven't kept up to date in a bit about my plastics, but I've had some issues.  First a seroma that burst, followed by a drain that insisted it could no longer live in my body, don't blame it, some days I feel like that lol.  Only issue is, I've filled up with fluid in the two weeks after the drain came out.   I have 1 litre of fluid, spread out all along the incision lines of my belly similar to a water bed.   Kinda cool to watch.. at least I think so.  Uncomfortable though.  My family doctor gave me a bit of grief as he sent me for the ultrasound yesterday, stating that he's going to have a hard time finding a surgeon to fix this as "surgeons don't like to clean up another surgeons messes"... Yikes.   So I emailed Dr. S in Mexico, he wants me back. He says he doesn't want me to stay here, but wants me there pronto.  He will open me up, withdraw said fluid, install another drain, and monitor me for a week, then send me back if I'm ready.   He will be covering all costs.   So, my ticket is booked for Friday morning, and I'm outta here.. again.   I thought I left enough behind in Mexico, but apparently I need to leave some fluid behind with all the skin and fat that's already been left behind.   No cave climbing this time, just r&r... and if anyone knows how to do that, if they could send me a short message on instructions ;)  I'm having a tough time keeping my butt duct taped to a chair, I'm getting duct tape burn... is that possible??? lol
So, if you are into praying and could put me on a prayer list, swinging chickens , or just sending me some good healing vibes, I'd appreciate it. 
These past two years have been an incredible journey, none of it I would give up for the world, just saying.

Bonnie 

good luck Bonnie and be safe.  Hope everything turns out ok for you

I am with you in spirit and if was any other time I would be flying out with you. don't forget to update us on details and no partying at the local fiesta into the wee hours of the night!

You just wanted to come for your own personal consult with that sweet tall dark handsome man.. or was it cave climbing... or did you just want to use the duct tape??  lol   Hoped you could make it, but I know how much you were committed to your project, and I'll be home soon to annoy you ;) Hopefully weighing a bit less in specific places.

Bonnie

All the best healing vibes to you Bonnie:  You deserve the best outcome, as you've worked so hard at being successful in your surgeries....You must have a dedicated surgeon in Mexico, to be so willing to fix you all up at no charge....Take care, [and lots of good reading material]   

See that's the thing.  I could just fart around here, waiting for someone to step up , or wait for an infection where they HAVE to fix me.. or I could go back to the man who signs every email 'your friend'.   He's the man who took me apart, and knows how I'm put together, what more could I ask for eh?  And to boot, I get to sit by the pool and watch my mountains..... sigh .. If I lived there I'd never come down, me and my goats, we'd have to have an OH meeting up there :)

Bonnie

Sending you tons of healing white light, Bonnie.  I know the last leg of your journey is going to be relaxing for you.  You've worked hard to get here.  Enjoy it now.  :-)

I'm sorry you've had some complications Bonnie but sounds like you are in good hands. Hope all goes well and you come back all fixed up.

We'll be thinking of you.

Ahh bonnie...well I am glad you are going to get looked after my friend....dont want to fool around with a seroma...
I am sure flying again to Mexico isnt what you planned right now...but its got to be done and you need to be looked after...and best to go back to your surgeon...
This will pass Bonnie...please keep your spirits up kiddo - I will be thinking of you

You already know my thoughts are with ya, Bonnie. But I just want to say anyway.. I hope that it's resolved quickly and you're back home and feel better soon!
