65 YO Rediscovering Life ... Living It and Loving It Too! - Jacksonville, FL

These are all qualities my plastic surgeon possess. He returns calls promptly. He's listened to my concerns through all the tears and there were quite a few as my guy and I would have celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary two weeks after the surgery. I am looking forward to seeing the good doctor as well as having him do the revision.

208 Days Later - While I am not please with the outcome, I am indeed still very happy that I had the surgery. It was the first thing that I did for "me" in the scheme of "moving on" without the guy I married forty five years ago. My revision eval and preop is scheduled for March 2016 and I can not wait. As the sayings goes "plans change" and boy did they ever. Bucket List 11/2015 was moved to BL 11/2016. I still have yet to puchase that first bra as my (left) girlfriend is two sizes larger than her BFF to her right. I haven't worn those cute body-concious outfits (the significant difference in size is quite noticeable in those figure outlining fabrics). Still working on the rest of me and the 2016 Bucket List:
Daily Workout; Flying Solo is getting better; Back-to-Back Cruise Savings Jar (my guy made me promise to go and do all the things we'd planned on doing together); Daily Entry's into the books I've been inspired to write; oh and I'm DWTS (Dancing With The Stars) ... sort of. I've been taking dance lessons at Fred Astaire Studio. Yes by the time November 2016 rolls around, the kid will be an old pro at the: Salsa, Merrengue, Hustle, Cha-Cha, Argentine Tango, Foxtrot, Jive, Waltz, East and West Coast Swing and the Carolina Shag. Oh and ladies I've even invested in an actual pair of dance shoes too. Well the next update will be 3/2016. I've attached a few pics. As I said in the beginning of this update, "I am so very happy that I did this and so looking forward to having the revision". I'll be changing my login from Jeanie G. to "Jeanie-Fit-4-Life" ... Because that's exactly who I am!

Thursday, April 16, 2015, 1500 hr case. Yep at this moment I'm officially 12 hours post op; and as the incomparable Mr. James Brown said:

"I feel good like I knew that I would, now; So good, so good because I got you,"
well, in this instance I've got Dr. Timothy Fee my wonderful cosmetic surgeon. No nausea/vomiting. I get extremely cold pre/post op, but they had this wonderful warming/toasty gurney. After applying these awesome leg compression sleeves (decreases lower extremity clot risk) ye old flannel blanky was pulled above my shoulders, leaving only the left wrist IV site exposed to my very sweet, comforting, professional and "well versed in her craft" anesthetist. who gives the phrase "going under" Never even got to the reverse "ten count" ... but now a moment from our sponsors: "GPS For Dummies ... Get One Next Time" ... Please"!" To be continued.
Stay tuned for the next installment of the continuing saga of ...
