Please stop taking your stress pills and drinking at the same time. That can be very dangerous and we prefer that you be around here for a very long time.

Wow what an adventure you had...so if I can interpret this right you had an eye tattoo and are planning FFS in January...this month.

Sounds like you had an interesting time on your travels(apart from the flu)....You are a lady of leisure for the next couple of months...enjoy your time to prep.

It is going to be a year of changes for us both as I am having GRS in November...just starting to feel a little excited about it. its been awhile since we caught up....I hope you are well and enjoying your time away.

Take care

Liz

Well while i wait for my date with scalpel , i,ve been exploring Guadalajara i,ve been walking around late at night early  in the morning ..got lost in some unknown  neighborhood  , and i have to say i've never felt safer in fact i would be more nervous  walking around at night in some australian city's  tonight i managed to get lost again (as i walk everywhere ) and during the epic of finding my hotel i noticed how many woman are confident  walking alone ànd couples ,people are really friendly and gracious and this place is very clean you dont see trash all over the place ,
Now I've  been walking around  with some fairly expensive bling and had no problems there is good security here ......and dozens of hotels for every budget
During my exploration  i found a lasik clinic which is on my list as i need to get a vision enhancement and anyway i can get both eyes done for $780 usd ....not bad
This city is full of medical teaching university's  ànd specialists
I'm impressed !
Well to sleep now I'm  exhausted  from the èpic run around google maps gave me and i have a dental consultation tomorrow

Hi Markie,

  I am glad to hear you are feeling safe while out exploring on foot. Feeling safe is really important, almost as important as feeling comfortable in your own skin. Many of us can't do that. Good luck in what improvements and enhancement you are planning to have done. I hope all go well.

Hugs,
  Laurie

Thanks Laurie i think i was ooooh its mexico it dangerous at first and i was nervous intially  but its a big country
one always should be cautious  though
but with observation ive seen this city is moderate though i'm sure there are places i would best keep away from. Just like any other city
...hmm enhancements its been a long time coming....its dental time😅
Im not quite sure about being 100% comfy in  my skin though one of Dr Cardenas patients has a video where she talks about how she experimented  by staying at a hotel instead of the clinics accommodation and walking back and forth
though maybe one day ? Just confident in my ability to defend myself.....but that comes from being a manthing 😁

Well Markie don't be visiting those seedier areas of town. When I was a young sailor overseas in Europe those were the areas I headed for. I had issues even back then and would try drinking them away. I don't remember how I managed to get back to the ship many of those times. I do remember walking several miles back once in Spain drunk as hell.
  I've been to Mexico 3 times with a friend I used to work with and his wife and mine. I only went because my wife wanted to. She probably had a good time after I got drunk and put in bed. There were nights I don't remember how I got there on those trips too. I do know I have no desire to ever visit Mexico again. I have enough interaction withe them here. There are some very nice places there though.
  Anyway Markie I hope your dental work and whatever goes well for you.

Hugs,
  Laurie

Well finally i am here at the recovery house....its beautiful lots of color amd tastfully firnished and my room has its onsuite,
The Host is a very friendly and efficient likeable guy,
I saw Dr Cardenas his demeanor goves me confidence...no could fear now as he gave me a through rundown as to what procedures will be  done , i asked him if then virtual ffs assement i provided  from Miss Hammer was useful
and he said yes as it provided a real world extrapolation as to what to aim for as a opposed to being presented
  a photo of another person from a magazine
He agreed with me about keeping it real as to my size
and so i left happy and relieved
Got all my tempory crowns finished dentist worked till 10 pm what a great guy ! by the time im recoverd the crowns will  ready....28 crowns (2 custom one) plus one bridge and 2 root canels with posts for the customn crowns ....in precious metal $11k in aud
So tommorrow is Ffs Surgery day.....lookin) forward it😃

Markie, we're all sending good thoughts and karma your way.  Recover well, heal fast, and have your needs met.  May all be well.

Hi, Markie!  Looks like you ordered The Works.  Yeah, I know.  Ow.  Just hang in there.  Think of how you'll be in a month.  :)
