Hi Hon, What is the time table now? Are you in the hospital for a while or recovering elsewhere?

Only reply if you are feeling good enough.

Hi Cindy ....well im back in the recovery house i,m due to  leave here on the 19th but i'll have to wait around guadalajara for at least another couple of weeks as i have to get my crowns installed ....mainly as i dont think i can open my mouth wide enough atm
getting close to being up and around ,its cheap enough to live here caters to all budgets i'd ike to walk around but i'd i'll have to rig up some sort of face scarf  so i dont scare people  though people here are very polite across the boards
The Docs suggested a while ago that i might avail myself the use of hyperbaric chamber ....should have done so earlier in the piece ......i already know i bruised easily .....but even this surprised me ....still on the mend 😊

   

at this rate i'll it will 2weeks until i start looking human again bits its a far better then where i was a few days ago

Hi  Just saw your post 😘still here in mexico , left the recovery house yesterday, oh the team there were so nice and during my personal emergency spoon fed me and all ,it was a nice welcoming safe place ,
Ive only really just regained my strength ....the complications knocked me for six  but much better now went for a walk to my fave resturant yesterday ...managed to get stared at frequently didnt worry though ...people here are so polite , i think i,ll hang around for a few more weeks and try get the face lift in before i go back to oz or maybe go to brazil or someplace while.i wait ...guess i could get the facelift done in thailand but would prefer the dr here to do it .....for a while there i was quite disturbed at what i had done ...and went into regret mode big time but now as the swelling goes down i can vaguely see whag might be so  i feel a bit better
a bit of a time line up until now










Ive never been photogenic at the best of times
Anyway the clinic was great , and when i was rushed the clinic at 12at night Dr Cardenas was there to oversee everything i ended up having a blood transfusion the complications were due to my bodys reaction my bp went through the roof and I  basically turned into a sprinkler which surprised me as my hemmocrit has been so high, maybe going off hrt for the op thinned my blood right out, normally you get given clexane to stop deep vein thrombosis and blood  clots but in my case they didnt use it, i must go get my blood work done to try figure out what haplened,  but all good now just waitng to see what im going
to look like , though the Dr stayed pretty much to the virtual assement a part from giving my nose tip a slight uplft and enhanceing the bottom lip whic i hope is going to decrease in size aka decrease in swelling and also some of the fat transfer about 30% will be absorbed
Funny thing happened the other night i was at anearby resturant having soup and a beer when this little kid came in off street up to me and he was pointing at all the bruises etc and talking i couldnt understand what he was staying so out come google translate ...got him to speak into it and it translated into " face of war " haha
I might use that as a nick name at work hmmm say warface lol
His mum was waiting patiently on the side walk .....and then the kids.sisters all raced up with oooh ahhh etc , eventually i shooed them off gently and went back to trying not to spill my beer out the side of my mouth
....so much delicious food about ....but i cant eat it ....still  Guacamole and soup gets me by
...bring on the results!!!! well at least ive got lips now ....lippy time 😉

I like the regeneration comment, lol Doctor!  Keep thinking that it was worth it - positive thoughts produce positive drive resulting in positive results - Cassi 2018.

I'm glad to see you are okay Markie I was starting to worry about you. I am sure the results will be better once the bruising and swelling goes away. You will post a picture hopefully with a dab of that lippy you were talking about won't you?

Hugs,

Be safe!  Your penny/pound comment reminded me of when my first's wife's brother's wife visited from the UK.  We picked her up at LAX and my wife wanted her to put her foot into the Pacific Ocean but instead of doing near LAX, we ended up heading for Long Beach.  Anyway, the sister-in-law kept making the comment about wanting to spend a penny.  This was back in the early - mid 1980's so I thought she was just making fun of our dollar value.

We drove her around for like 4 hours, stopping at the store, stopping a McD's and finally got to the Ocean.

For us Colonists, Spending a Penny is a polite way of telling someone you need to use the Lou, loo, or however it's spelled. :)

The variety of gastronomic  fare here is very tempting .....i dont normally go for pasta because it is evil....
however because i had lost so much weight after the op.( i think i maybe went 3/4 days without eating and then no appetite  after that)
I allowed my self a couple of dishs with a nice red ....
And ive had a pleasant surprise ....as my weight returns it appears to be relocating  around my thighs and hips
certainly no bikini bod in sight and it would prob make a.cis girl tear her hair and rip her dress

But im surprised and pleased .
My face continues  to morph in and out .....ive found my favorite mirror ....its in the lift😂 but theres a security cam 😀 so no posing haha
Reminds me of when i was in hong kong many years ago and i behaved like an ape in the lift only to get to the ground floor and notice the cam ....i'm pretty sure  early warning sats would have detected my heat signature!!
off to get last crowns put in ...they will be engraved ...any suggestions ?😉
