11 days out!
WORTH IT$6,400
Sorry it's been a while. My nephew removed my stitches at 9 days. I was healing so fast, my skin grew around a lot of them. Dr Harley wanted me to wait 10 days since I'm out of town. It's all good, he got all of them out and now just wish the swelling and numbness would subside.
I've had no pain since the first day, no itching at all either. I'm still taking the arnica and my daily dose of blueberries.
I'm posting some new pics, just be warned, I'm not into photography and I can only expect so much from my iPhone. I look in the mirror, and feel pretty good, then I look at the pic and say WTH??
I've always thought the best pics are the ones when you don't know they're being taken, so bear with my immaturity as I hate posing for anything serious.
So, would I put myself through this knowing what I know? Absolutely! My shirt tells it all. Thanks Dr Harley, you da man!

Love your shirt and your attitude to match! You look very beautiful inside and out.
How sweet! The shirt, is tribute to my brother that was called home to God 2 years ago. He would break into dance anytime "happy" by Pherell would come on the radio! My daughter bought us all one :)

Susie - you are just so awesome! I love these photos. All of us here are trying to (re) capture some outer beauty. Thanks for reminding us that inner beauty is the best kind. Have fun and be happy. You're an inspiration and you deserve it!
Thx Ann! I wanna thank you for your kind words. They really touch my heart. It's so refreshing being kind to people you really don't know isn't it?

Day 4
Feeling so much better every day! I will say, if I try to do too much my face swells up fast. You can actually feel it happening. Just aging on the couch elevated, taking my arnica and antibiotics. Drinking pure pineapple juice and eating my blueberries and black grapes! Organic!

Susie, I figured lol! Are you a teacher? Thinking of you are you itching yet?
A teacher? Oh heavens no. God help our children if I were!
I worked in management for a major grocery chain and when I stepped down 2 years prior to retirement, I worked in their pharmacy! Loved every minute of my career:)
