Hi again Margo. OK...I tried to open the mailbox again but it says that you are not excepting private mail so it won't let me open up even the mail you sent me. Bummer. :( Let me know that your ok....

Hi Margo, How are you doing? I tried to open your message to me and it wouldn't open up in my mail box. I haven't been on much only twice a day so it might take me a little bit to get back to you. Did you get your compression bra? :) Birdie

Hi Breast Explant 2013--for some reason, I don't see any photos that you mention. Glad you're doing better!
tiny titted songbirdie 8 Apr 2013
Ooooh..they were ruptured. Margo you are going to feel so much better now. I know I felt alittle under the weather while the healing was going on, but I slept and drank lots of water. Find a place where you can do the infrared saunas so you can get more of the toxins out. Remember to take a good mineral supplement after those treatments because everything gets pulled out though the pores. I'm so happy for you and I look forward to the updated pictures. :) Sending you lots of Cuddles and Love, Birdie

Hellooo Birdie. Thank you for your heartfelt post. Great advice. Only taking a mutiple vitamin. Two questions. Which supplement are you on. And second I hv low blood pressure and low blood sugar. Is that going to hold me back from infra saunas. I am scared of regular ones. And where to get them ___ health spas???
tiny titted songbirdie 8 Apr 2013
ok....I would ask your doctor about the infrared with your blood sugar and pressure status, because I do not know in that cause. I take the 12 cell salts by bioplasma to make sure I stay alkaline and NOT acidic. I also take Miracle 2000 it's a total body nutrition liquid supplement..it has with no sweetners added. You can probably find it on line along with the cell salts. Get some ph strips so you can see how alkaline or acidic you are. They cost like 10 bucks. Being low blood sugar it might be a good thing to keep yourself alkaline. I bought my infrared foot spa on line. It's cost me around 175.00. You can also read up on those on line. I hope that you are feeling great and that you are happily healing. Big Hugs to you.xxx

Just out from surgery 3 days ---slept and slept. I had an easy ride - POST OP-1 pill percoset and tylenol the rest of the time-- Currently, feeling great. You are such a spitfire....I feel a kindred spirit to you. I plan to wear compression garment for quite awhile to get results I want. I am concave but know it will change in time. Waiting to next week to see doctor for a checkup under my arm where they slit to get a "quail egg size piece of silicon out! YIKES! All my pains and pre-op problems GONE with the siliconoma. Just think, we all will be rocking bikinis in JUNE. Thank you so much for sharing and caring. Will be posting photos when I am a bit down the pike. Love Margo
