Question
Hi Girls
Appt was last Monday but had to wait before posting until the events of that meeting with ps sank in. Thought I might wake up from a dream and find myself back in my nightmare, but have since spoken to ps's secretary and yes I AM a very lucky girl. I asked her when could I see him again and he said to come back in another month.
For 2nd opinion went to On the otherhand, I totally and completely understand you never wanting to have anything to with this old PS again and just want to move on. You need your energy directed in a positive direction vs negative.
You seem like such a kind soul. If you need someone to write the letter for you, get me on a good PMSing/menopausal time and I'll gladly help you out.
Answer
I think that is so wonderful! I'm so glad that there are good surgeons out there, but it really stinks for us over here, because I think you must be in Australia. I wish you the best of luck and keep up updated! Are you still thinking about everything, or are you thinking of making the surgery appointment?

I'm glad you have had a successful consult Onewish. This plastic surgeon sees what you see @ more importantly is confident he can improve / fix the situation. Well, I'm sure that knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel will make the "healing" time more bearable. Sounds like he will use a hard palate graft to repair the /mmh/product/eyelidsurgery/index.vm?procid=6" target=_blank>eyelid retraction. Well, I am convinced that most problems can be improved effectively @ safely when we find the right surgeon. This is GREAT NEWS for you..... Best wishes.
Answer
Very happy for you. Not every day you can find a PS who is not only skilled but also great understanding person. Congratulations and good luck to you!!!

Kim, I fully relate to your indignation at ps's who get away with disfiguring people and getting paid such an exorbitant amount for it. AND denying there is a problem so they can hang on to it.` I was furious yesterday when I opened the latest edition of Australia's biggest cosmetic mag and spied my ps's 2 page spread. His advertised patient (are we clients or patients?) was beautifully groomed and refreshed one month after having what I had done. He was talking about his procedure. (Blood pressure rising). She was so pleased with the result, and all I could think of is why didnt he afford me the same duty of care. I still looked like I had just come out of surgery after a month, and I'm still waiting to come out and show myself after almost 6 months.
My girlfriend admonished me when I considered going for my appointment with original ps in 2 weeks. All sorts of wicked scenarios were going through my mind but she is right. I am in a good place right now and should look to healing inside for a good outcome. Surround myself with positive energy. He will see my pics one day and know one of his colleagues had to fix his mess.
April, I will see him in a month. At this stage I have no idea when he wants to do the surgery. I am definitely going to go thru with this. This is my only chance and it's an excellent one. Looking forward to one day making eye contact. And to have a glass of wine when out one evening without worrying about dehydrating my eyes. So tired of s/mmh/product/wigs/index.vm?procid=55" target=_blank>wigging from a water bottle every couple of minutes to keep my eyes plumped up. So looking forward to having a few minutes go by without thinking 'eyes.' And I want to accept invitations to family gatherings again. Will see them all tomorrow for first time in 6 months. They dont know anything. I feel awful about this but I am going to give them a lot of dialogue about an accident I had with my eyes. It all sounds so sad and pathetic but this board is the only place I can admit this too. I know a lot of you will totally understand and not judge me on this and have possibly delivered a similar story. Hmmm.
This time Chesapeake I will prove I am not a slow healer. The hard thing about all of this is facing more surgery but it WILL be more bearable trusting that I am in the right hands.
Thanks girls for your support and wishes.
