Feeling much better at a year.
I can't believe its a year! Last week the doc took the scars off the back of my left ear because they were thick and wide. What a difference! Even though I hate the saliva gland lumps, I am feeling better about myself. Yay! I also have a much better camera in my new phone which helps detail the shots better. The stitches came out a few days ago and it feels flat back there ! The doc showed me the flaps of skin he took off...wow...I was speechless. I wish they could do the same to my boob scars and the elephant ears on my hips! LOL

I just read it all. Girl you are a trooper! Your look beautiful. Honestly i dont see the neck issues at all. You also look like in your recent pics you've lost some weight. Im hating my lumpy neck right now. Seeing ps tomorrow...im sure hes going to say its swelling. Im almost 6 weeks out. He did tell me im a good healer and healing quicker than most. (maybe they say that to all their patients! Lol) its great encouragement for me seeing how great you looked at diff times after surgery. Is your ear still sore sometimes? Im still sore and numb all along neck and check near ears. Thanks for sharing...you are a knockout! Boobs next for me dec.2... Only 2mths after face and neck.i must be crazy.

My neck is ruined because I have swelled glands.
Sjogrens Disease has caused me to have painful swollen glands and nodes that've ruined the look of my neck. Plus a weight gain of 30 pounds from medications has put me down in the dumps. It slapped on after my surgery! For me the neck surgery bought my autoimmune disease out furiously. I had to medically retire, take meds that love to get ya fat, go through my Uncles Death last week. It's not been a good 2014. The weight gain has loosened the skin too. So my seven grand neck, well, the fat is gone but it's lumpy. Pout pout. I didn't have a clue all this would happen. Even my face is puffy from meds. I don't mean to be a drag. It's not the docs fault. It's my body. Guess the lipo for my back and butt is out! LOL

This last week has been tough at my house and it is hard to stay on course at these times. My sister was hospitalized with a serious illness and taking Hugh chunks of times from my every day and expecting family members for a stay. Wish me luck. We can both make it through.

I bought a Dooney and Burke purse, lol! ...I always did the boot shopping thing, so 40 pairs is enough...right now I'm planning for Long Term Disability from work and applying for Social Security. Once all that is in place I can take a breath! Thanks. :)

Thank you! It's been a year now. I starting to feel comfortable, and maybe the biopsy I have scheduled will solve the gland and node issue once and for all!
