So, it has been interesting... to say the least. I didn't know exactly how hard it was going to be for like, a couple MONTHS after surgery!! I ended up going through 17 hours of surgery, 7 blood transfusions, and 11 days in the hospital. I have plans for the next few days to get on here and do updates.. with the whole experience/story to share.. I am at home finally (I had to stay at my mom's while i was post op for a while because I have a little girl that my mom was caring for, and even though I couldn't do anything, I couldn't bare to be away from her).
I have my pictures from surgery stuff on facebook.. Im gonna try and post the link to the pictures like everyone does but I'm not too familiar with doing that so I hope it works, if not-- message me or just add me on face book (Nikki Shuman)... there are some crazy pictures-- OH! And check this out: (dont worry they're not in the album) but I convinced my doctor to take a couple pictures for me DURING surgery. Yeah, he rocks. If anyone is having surgery in the Chicago area... Dr. Christopher Dewald. I swear by him. He's awesome and I would have driven from California if I had to for him... thank God I'm only 3 hours away.

Some after pictures (the difference is remarkable, I look like a whole new person. For the first time in my life, I feel pretty. I hope that doesn't seem shallow, but I have NEVER felt like someone who had a 'nice body' or anything like that... now, I feel like I look normal... I dont feel normal by any means, but I think I look more normal. ANYWAY- some after pics!
