Hi all, Lynne just posted on her blog and is doing fine. She is in a rehab center only 10 minutes from home so her boys can visit! It sounds like she is doing great. Had to spread the good news.

I went to visit Lynn in the rehab facility this past weekend and she looked awesome! Way better than I did after my surgery. She was moving really well and in great spirits!

I usually wear base, shadow, mascara and blush daily. I didn't wear makeup for the first 3 weeks or so. Just didn't feel like being bothered until I looked at my face in the mirror and decided enough was enough. I got back in the game after that.

I think it's not that hard to put makeup on, but of course the first few weeks to a month we're so tired. I'm one who doesn't wear any or much unless I go out, so it's not that much of a problem. That's weird coming from a makeup artist
But I like doing it like it's for show or dressup
