There is a reason they say "Say No to Drugs!", otherwise you'll look like this when you wake up! With some prodding, I got her to open her eyes....hehe! :-)
Done and doing great. No complications, no issues, just smooth sailing! OK, now for the funny stories that can't be forgotten....after surgery, Valerie's anesthesiologist (Dr. Wald, same one she had for the Mastectomies) came by and told us how she did. Last time she was very alert for awhile into the operating room, so this time he wanted to make sure she was out early on. Well, he tells us that once they got into the OR, he asked how she was doing, she responded "Great, I am finally getting "squishy" boobs!". Valerie then proceeded to demand that Dr. Wald feel just how hard the temporary implants were....he politely declined in front of the several nurses and other doctors in the room....at which point he says she got pretty adamant "No, really, you gotta feel how hard these are, look! (as she grabbed them with her hands)" After she refused to take no for an answer, he agreed to "tap" the top portion to see just how hard they were.....Dr. Wald was just a little embarrassed to tell us the story, but if that is not typical Valerie, I don't know what is.....no shame! Of course Valerie had no recollection of this exchange....so I had to share it! :-)
