Hey Phyl
Regarding Jan's last post about losing track of things...has there ever been a calendar on this board where ANer's could post their upcoming procedures?  Can it be done?

David

Good idea, David.

Maybe we could just create a topic under a section like this one (AN Community) and everyone could post their important dates there.

Just a thought,

Jan

Jan, LA and Steve,

Did the calendar idea get off the ground?  I really like that idea too.

I am still very ill and having allot of pain and feeling sorry for myself.  I do not do well taking pain medication but that is all I can do along with antibiotics until the infectious disease Dr is back in town.  Which is this Friday and then hopefully we will have some sort of treatment plan and a surgery date scheduled right away. 

 I hope you feel better.  I have been gone a week and have missed the thread about you being ill.

Sending Chicken Soup your way. It's good for the mind and the soul:-)

Kate - 

Phyl pointed us to a link somewhere on this forum, but I'm not sure if anyone has been utilizing it or not  ???

I thought her post was in this topic, but can't find it so it must be in another topic. 

David, Steve, or anyone else, can you tell Kate where the link is?

Thanks,

Jan

OK...zi'm the lazy blonde...is this calendar just for me to use or is it supposed to be filled out?  I guess I thought that we would access a calendar that everyone could add dates to...

Hi Kay:  I just saw your pictures on your blog - You DO look good for being 6 days post op. 
 My lips were pulled much more & did not look like lips.  Yours look great. (you've got beautiful lips, if
you don't mind my saying so).
I think because I had much more of a droop & my face is aged more he had to
stretch/pull them more.    Yes, he CAN predict how it will come out.    He takes a
geographical approach, 'mapping' in mm for correct alignment. (he'd have made a
great astronomer back in the day).     Thank you for posting the pictures.  You 're
going to love the results - I know I do.   Now, what's that word ?  oh yea, PATIENCE ! ! !

Always good thoughts,   Nancy

ps:  In about a  week, you're going to start needing to apply a scar medication with silicone in it.   I use Scar Zone - it was the only one I could find with silicone, in Walgreens.  When I went for my 7 week visit I showed it to Dr. Byrne & he said that was fine,  but wanted me to also use spf30 & wear a large brimmed hat when going outside (my scar had gotten a little red from not using strong enough spf).

Kaybo's posted pictures  8)

I'll have to head over to her blog and check them out!

I purchased a scar medication for my son not too long ago and it says on the bottle that it has silicone in it.  It's called ScarCare, it's manufactured by scarguard and I purchased it online at drugstore.com  It was kind of pricey, but it worked well on the burn scar my son has on his cheek.

I agree with some of the comments on the blog, Kay has Angelina Jolie lips. Based on the comments from Nancy above, about how it will turn out, I think it is pretty clear - Kay is going to be hot!  :-*

I also think it is cool that this thread is now headed into a discussion of scar creams. Please continue.  8)

Personally I thought Kay went a few rounds with Mike Tyson.  But Kay came out on the winning end.  You're beautiful and Dave knows it.  May the Lord bless you two with the happiness you deserve.

You guys and the three girlies rock!

Just because we have jumped from Kay's surgery to the AN treatment calendar to scar creams and back to Kay's surgery, doesn't mean we aren't staying on topic here  :D

I posted a message to Kay on her blog earlier, but I just wanted to chime in and say that despite the bruising and swelling it's easy to imagine how great Kay will look once she is fully healed.  Marvelous - just like Nancyann.  In fact, in light of what Kay's been through, I'd say she looks pretty darn good already  :)

She is a beautiful Woman inside and out this is one thing I know for sure.  K I'm glad you are home and going to have a slumber party with the girls.  Love you!  :-* 16
I believe you are given choices in life and it is not what has happened to you that defines who you are.  It is how you handle the situation and finding the positive in an almost hopeless situation that counts the most.  My son is my hero and I have had the pleasure of learning this from him.
