5. Scars are taking there sweet time to heal; especially breast reduction scars
6. TT scar is great; did Embrace and Gel (from PS office)
7. Using whitening cream for darkens (seems I produce a lot of melanin)
8. Confidence has gone way, way up!
9. I can wear a bikini...SCORE...
10. Speaking of scoring...SEX is way, way better now!

Yeah ladies & gents! I haven't posted in a while. Been busy and lazy (just being honest). Here's my list:
1. The wounds under my breasts are a thorn in my side.
2. I am swollen..even my (kitty kat...wink, wink)
3. My breasts are looking more and more fabulous everyday.
4. My TT scar is healing very nicely...started scar therapy.
5. Had fluid building in abdomen, had to have it removed via NEEDLE...[RS bleep] was not pleasant!
6. Got a new garment band, original one became too big.
7. Took a spin class last Saturday...I did good.
8. Internal itching...ugh...annoying. Its the healing process.
9. This healing process is very, very long.
10. One day at a time....
10. Still happy I did it!!!
