Posting Comments Guidelines on My Review

Hello RS Community,
I have received a few comments of support and kindness on my review which I am very grateful for. I thank those commenters again now; However, I recently had a situation where a RS member posted attacking and cruel comments to me. I sensed she was projecting her own life unhappiness on me unfairly. I reported her RS avatar name to the RS administration. RS informed me that they would research it and see if her comments met their codes of ethic. Thankfully, they have since removed her comments and mine in response in a very timely way. So I give the RS administration a big shout out for that!
In response, I thought it would be prudent for me to be clear from now going forward to share the following. Thank-you!
Note: I promote only diplomatic, civilized exchanges on my review and that support the mission and spirit of the RS platform. If we cannot disagree without resorting to cuss words, vitriol, nastiness, rants, raves, personal attacks, threats & unsupported claims, than we are no better than very immature people who are motivated by their lower mind and base primal, egotistical instincts.
Any such derogatory and inflammatory RS comments on my review will immediately be reported to the RS administration.
Thank-you in advance for your understanding and respecting my words.

Not much new has happened since my last review. I decided to post photos less often because of the incremental improvements. I am still so thankful for having had this done and love my face and neck! It is indeed a major surgery and not one to be taken lightly. And one should know there is an extended healing period over a period of weeks to months.

Hope this is helpful to you.

I have my month checkup post op with the PS at the end of Nov 2016.

Still healing every day.

The original scabs are healing and falling off naturally thought there is still some left around my ears and in back of my back of my ears.

Still some yellow bruising on my neck and around my ears though much less than before.

There is red line on my upper eyelids from the upper bleph. It is fading but still noticeable. I am still wearing my disguise eye glasses out in public. I have read that this can take weeks to fade. My eyes do look better and bigger without that eyelid hooding. Thank goodness!

Still have the tightness under the neck which feels like a neck sling and a tightness of 7 on a scale of 1-10.

Still have the numbness under the neck and around ears. I would rate it as numb as 7 to 8 on a scale of 1-10.

Still can't tilt my head back and have only limited tilt back function like 10-15% of normal.

I have resumed my full vitamin, herbs and supplement regiment as the post surg op said it only needed to be limited for 2 wks post.

Still not doing any cardio yet. I just don't feel right about that and don't think I am ready. Light stretching for me is Ok.

All is going well. Still sleeping on an elevation, thought the post op instructions only recommend until it for 2 wks after. It's easier to sleep on my side elevated and doesn't feel as uncomfortable

Still watching my sodium and doing decaf.

Still watching my fluid intake and it's about 8 glasses of lemon water a day.
