For Me, Myself & I - Malaysia

In January 2015 I will celebrate my 60 birthday & after a number of years of dithering I have finally decided to have my FL. It was never a question of if, only a question of when? I have a wonderful husband who loves me just the way I am, a large family whom I adore & am so grateful for & special friends who fill my life with love , laughter & mischievousness :-( So this facelift is for me & is pure unadulterated vanity. I simply do not want to look old & tired & forlorn, when on the inside, my heart is singing. Growing old gracefully for this Great Grandma is simply not an option & I will be fighting & kicking all the way. I work full time, hold a senior position & will not be referred to as "Da Old Boss Lady" lol see pure & utter vanity. I accept these types of procedures are not for everyone & I respect individual's rights to make their own choices. I write this review not in attempt to find acceptance or approval cause quite frankly I don't give a damn, but as a way of giving back to all those wonderful women who have gone before me & shared their personal story, their aspirations, their pain & yes their scary photos :-) I thank you all so very much & acknowledge you were all instrumental in helping me find the BALLS to embark on my own journey. I am going alone because I don't want my hubby to have to endure what will undoubtedly be some pretty yuky days - this is my choice for me, myself & I & however it turns out - I live with that. You welcome to come along for the ride :-)

Well, returned from a great 5 days away in Australia visiting with my beloved grandchildren - now concentrating on ensuring everything is sorted at work, in readiness for my 2 weeks away in Kuala Lumpur. Gorgeous Getaways representatives have been very professional thus far, with everything being put in place for my arrival. Chaffeur will collect me from the airport and take me to my apartment. Some days I am more nervous then others & yesterday I starting having serious doubts - like do I really truly need to do this? everyone says you don't need it!! what about the after pain? will I be able to cope given I am such a suk? Then I went to do my skin care routine in the magnifying mirror & thought, crikey you are definitely going to get your butt on that plane young
lady lol So yes still nervous, excited scared like most everyone else and very thankful to everyone for all the advise and great tips of Arnica & Bromelain Zinc etc. Paula, the representative from GG rang me yesterday and just talking with her was very reassuring - especially knowing she has been through similar herself. To the ladies undergoing procedures today I am thinking of you and wishing you all the very best. My time will soon be here.

Another day closer :-) Nesting instincts kicking in so cleaning & more cleaning as well as packing this morning and going over notes and checklist - Oh & my darling hubby is now coming over, a week after my op :-) so we can have a little alone time, sight seeing that is ladies :-) so that's awesome. He accepts that I prefer to go through my op alone and that I have done my home-work, so he is fine with my decision. Booked 3 colonics this week having 2nd one today - all this feeling anxious, nervous excited has cramped me up somewhat - so thought I would have a shower on the inside. Felt really great after first one:-) Supplements I am currently taking multi, zinc, bromelain, arnica, probiotics. I have dropped the aspirin from my prescribed meds as recommended by my Dr. Also purchased a nutri - bullet system to take, it liquidizes vegys & fruit to make delicious healthy smoothies & soups. Will purchase the concealer etc recommended by the ladies duty free & I best not forget straws? Anything you think I need please just pop me a line. Gorgeous Getaways rep Paula, rang & also recommended Organic Rose-hip oil to help with wound care and when I am there, to eat lots of Papaya. I will purchase one of those triangular pillows, hat etc over there...Hmm 'wound care' kinda sounds like I'm going to War? Four more sleeps aghhhh :-(
