6:33 pm	Almost there Well, after much impatience and even more in the future, my account for the boob job is in "review". It should take roughly 30 days. Now I'm not sure if they take holidays into account AND the fact they were on vacation for two weeks as well during this time. I assume most of the review involves making sure all funds have cleared your account. So I should be hearing from them soon in the form of an email. The email will contain paperwork which I must get notarized. I then have to send it to them and they get the paperwork I can schedule my surgery. They told me they think early March is possible. This is going to require fancy footwork. And timing. My surgeon is not booking anymore surgeries after April 30th, he's done and will be doing reconstructive work on children in other countries. I'm also looking at my Jamaica vacation sometime in April. April will be a tricky month - my BF's bday is in April and we typically try to go to Jamaica early April. Last year was late due to when Easter fell. But it's also the start of his season and he has to have all taxes done by then. If I get surgery in early March, I think it'll be about 2 months before they heal. I was hoping for boobs by then, but I think at this point vacation comes first then boobs. Honestly, when I started this, I figured it would take me a year to get where I'm at. It took me three months. And what a stressful long three months - it consumed my life. It was insane how I let something like that consume me. Silly really. Only to sit and wait for my paperwork. I can't even get my vacation booked until income tax return comes in, I need the funds for a down payment. I'm still waiting for two W4's so I can get them done. Last year Bath & Body Works waited until the very last day of January. Bastards. I have Petsmart's already, now just need my real job and the one from hell. That's what's up with me. Other then a cat with apparent food allergies and one with a URI. Thankfully it's clearing up and she's not FELV positive as I had feared. And, regretfully, I had Elmo destroyed due to chronic spraying issues. I did everything possible, vetted, drugs, litter, etc. After dealing with it for more then 7 years of his 11 1/2 years I made the decision I'd been putting off. The vet thankfully did not talk me out of it this time. She agreed I tried everything. Her fellow vet whom I saw months ago suggested I turn a declawed indoor only cat into outdoors - I thought that was extremely unfair to him for numerous reasons. It wasn't an option. I can write about it easier now, the pain isn't as fresh. My LJ has the details if you're really interested. (10 Comments |Comment on this)

1:57 pm	Hello IJ Making the jump from LJ to IJ - maybe. I'd hate to lose some of the friends I've gained over at LJ. One thing I haven't mentioned in my LJ account, that I'm going ot mention here, I've decided, after 15 years, to get saline breast implants. I know many people would disagree with my choice. But it's something I've wanted for so long I kust never voiced it, nor did I have the $$ to do so, now I do. Through another means which kept me away from LJ for three months. Want info ask. So there, my secret is out in the open. I don't poet about it in LJ because I'd be "judged" - and it's silly to feel that way. It's a bunch of random strangers I will likely never meet in real life. So why do I care what they will think? I'm not getting implants to become a dancer (hell at my age, my hips don't move like they used to), I'm not doing it for my BF, I'm not doing it because I have low self esteem, nor am I doing it b/c Hollywood would have us think women need implants. I'm doing it for me. I'm doing it b/c I'm sick and tired of having issues finding shirts to fit me properly, it seems the clothing manufacturers don't think anyone have boobs smaller then a C cup. I have an A, and sometimes even A cups don't fit me as they should. I've got more then some, less then others. Bottom line is it's my choice. I've consulted three different surgeons, waffled over saline vs silicone and have finally made a decision on surgeons and saline. I'm hoping to have surgery end of February. I am prone to posting boring, mundane posts, sometimes frequently, sometimes you'll hear nothing. I also suffer from frequent headaches and migraines. My neurologist is perplexed and if the latest drugs don't work, I have to go to the headache clinic. Personally I'm getting sick and tired of the docs and the tests. I've just gone about two weeks w/out a headache. It was wonderful. Then I slipped the other day and ate one of my triggers - gouda cheese. Three days later and I'm still paying for it. If only I could figure out what the cause(s) are, I've tried going w/out caffeine, no chocolate, no alcohol. I've tried herbal alternatives. I've tried accupuncture. I'm about to try banging my head reapeatedly off a brick wall. There's more to me then migraines and implants. I just don't feel like posting. I'm going to go play the sims, which I haven't done in MONTHS. Current Mood: hopeful (3 Comments |Comment on this)
