This experience has been a “lifelift”! I was very happy before in my heart but seeing the external change has definitely been a boost to my overall well being. When you feel good on the inside and now the outside reflects that… what more can you ask for???

I am getting overwhelming responses from everyone who sees me… they are amazed at how much younger I look! My daughter, Stacey saw me for the first time and said “oh great mom everyone thought you were my sister before now they will think you are my younger sister!”

Feeling better each day… .Teresa did a post op facial. Felt wonderful… .what a great feeling to have a nurse check your sutures and do a facial…
I love the medical spa and what a great asset to our practice!

Talked a lot today with patientseveryone thinks I look greatmy face is still swollen.
Very tiredleft today @ 2pm went home and took a nap.

Went for lunch with Diane… came home and took a nap.
Getting ready to go back to work tomorrow… very anxious to get back into my routine!
Neck is tight but that is a good thing…
Slept well.

Still emotional.looking for “me” in the mirror???? I look good just a strange feeling.
Doing more things around the house.feeling normal again.

Up early… talking and watching the sunrise… beautiful! Feeling really good… shampooed my hair and blew it dry… feeling like me again.
Went to Panera for lunch and then got my nails done… somethings never change…
Came home took a nap. Feeling a little nauseous and dizzy… maybe overdid it today… take it easy! Surprised by my feelings… emotional.
Face felt tight put my chinstrap back on for awhile.

Suture and staple removal today… yeah!! Kristy is very gentle. Feel sooooo much better having them out.
Emotional day for me today… .feeling like why did I do this??? Tightness in my neck and face.

Slept well last night… still sleeping upright. Felt better today… having the bandages off makes a big difference.
Put my hat and glasses on and walked to get the mail… funny how the small things make a big difference.
Still feeling somewhat tired… no more pain meds just taking Advil if needed. Still feeling a little discomfort from the swelling and staples in my head.
Taking things slow which is difficult for me. Checked emails and answered some but my eyes got very tired after awhile.
Must say really enjoying my new home… haven’t had the time to do that… guess slowing down every once in a while is good!

Woke up this morning feeling like “Groundhog Day” over and over… I am impatient. Lynn filled the big tub with warm water and brought in candles and flowers and I soaked my body and head… can’t get my face wet yet until the dressing comes off my lower lids. I feel like a new person… still a little uncomfortable but the pain meds definitely help!
Diane came by with gifts… she took Lynn for lunch… caregiver definitely needs a break… Lynn has been crucial in my recovering so well.
Dr. Flaharty called … I got emotional thanking him for giving me back 20 years!! He instructed me to rest and not talk (difficult for me) and he would see me tomorrow morning for the flexan removal.
