highlight it and copy it and then go to you new topic scroll over the icons above and find insert image and then paste your direct link that you copied into the middle (that will make more sense once you click on insert image) Magically it will appear.

hey Michelle,

Thanks for sharing your photos, feelings, fears and findings (that's a lot of "f's" from someone who can't make the sound properly at the moment!).

I hope that one day (in the not too distant future) you can look back on this and find that you have recovered from most if not all of these challenges.

Yes Michelle we really do have a lot to be thankful for.  I'll be in NYC hopefully meeting up with Wendy and Jersey Girl.  I'm celebrating and cooking family next weekend for all of men in my life ;)  I love Thanksgiving....no pressure. 

Michelle you look gorgeous in your pictures.  Thanks for sharing.

Michelle,

I really liked your post.  Your pictures reminded me of where my face was after a few months.  Your post should help other people as they are going through this process.  I'm glad that you were able to accept what happened and are happy and working again.  I do think working, if possible, really helps in the long, long process of healing.

Michelle, Your 4 mo update sounds very familiar to mine...over four years ago. I hate the word Patience too but in looking back you will be able to see your progress. Ask your eye doc about a punctual plug, it has helped me and I use Restasis. I went from lacrilube all day everyday to never using it again. :)

Stay strong.............

Michelle, what do I say? :) thank you SO SO very much for sharing all that you have shared. A shining star to share such details with all for others to learn and grow... I commend you!

You know you got the huggles... and a few extra thrown in for good measure.

Rawk on! :)
