Recovery

Hey ladies,
sorry I have been MIA for moment.I was recovering. And dealing with some emotional issues. This journey can take a toll on you . Anyways last time I updated you gals I was telling you how my mom was working my ever lasting not having nerves. She swears she knows everything, but she has never traveled abroad.Well we arrived at the clinic late, but it was my fault partially i went to see a dermatologist but to my surprise he was located a CIPLA. His name was Manuel Valerio. He speaks english and very flamboyantly gay lol. He was a sweet heart. He told me to let you ladies know dont be scarred, if you looking for A skin doctor. We rush over to Cardiology due to the fact we had no idea that he was still waiting on us. he slapped alcohol on us like a mad man. We were in and out. the price of the test was 60. while sitting in the car waiting on jose i started eating my sunflower seeds which im addicted to. He gets in the car and says you cant do lab-work because you eating, i was flabbergasted, due to the fact nobody told us that. So we had labwork first thing in the am. which was another 60USD.Well being that I went to a dermatologist before surgery and he lasered my face i looked like a black leopard, the spots on my face darkend. Everyone was looking at me crazy, dont know if it was my face or the fact that i probably was about the only plus size queen in the building. anyways i get called in to meet the doctor the head man in charge. His office was beautiful well i went in for my consult. one of the things that sold me was he wasnt pushing me to have a tummy, though I knew i needed it as bad a my heart beat. but my fiance is going into the milatary and we were talking about 1 more kid. Anyway when he seen my pooch he asked me why hadnt i had that cut off years ago, its unhealthy and puts a strain on your back. He told me that he wasnt concerned about the money part and he was going to give me a tummy tuck, i started crying due to the fact I knew me and my bae had plans for a kid. but for some unforeseen reason I felt that if you have a tummy tuck you cant have kids, for years and i didnt want the baby spaced out. He asked why I cried being that he wasnt charging me for it, i told him my concerns , he smiled and said sweet heart you only have to wait six months and then get pregnant. Though I thought I would be backwards doing it like this but I went thru with it. Ladies I always had a pooch I had two c sections, so I wasnt aware of the health issues until i started getting rashes under my stomach and thing. I thought that was because of my 100lbs weight loss. So i ended up with a breast lift,BBL, and tummy tuck,lipo to the back and sides for 4,000USD.
While staying here, i met a girl from Louisiana and another girl named Jessika. I met Kathryn , and Dr. Pena the lady in the cafe' and the nurse Mary they all speak English. So remember their names. we got our first massage today being that my mom and I both had to get a blood transfusion. So we had to stay in our room for an extra two days. We are better now. I have noticed that I have constant headache maybe from laying down so much and the constant knocking at the door. So im restless. But when Im sitting up Im fine. Make sure you down load the translator, it worked really god for me when i could get a hold of someone speaking English. Bring lots of wipes, my mom brought two little packs as if that was going to do something now she is using mine and im about to run low smdh, she never listens. and gloves for when you are in the guest house. well im getting tired and my butt starting to hurt,so imma call it a night.

Glad That everything is going Well for you. Continue on in your healing, Best Wishes!! Ohh you can send for Wipes they make deliveries from pharmacies and bodegas (colmado) the cost for wipes is pretty much the same as US price. Ask the people helping you to do it its the norm
