    Yep, too late. We are all way too curious now. Besides, lots of folks have swollen mugs after surgery. Did you see the "cute" one of Trishthedish on her blog??? Sometimes those post-op pics paint the picture oh so well, much more than than words alone can say. The really important part is that even though you may look and feel horrendous RIGHT AFTER the surgery, it gets so much better pretty quickly. So consider it again-- please???! (But I'll understand if your response is still no...)

    Awwww! Oh well, at least we see the brace now. It's gorgeous on you! Love the blonde bombshell effect too.

      Pam got it right (no pun intended)

      Thanks Pam, for posting my REAL pic along with my real brace.

      It was this face that pranced about the ICU with hand cut-outs on the boobies and ahem, 'back' lumbar area.

      I look real cute on Baywatch too and Tommy Lee is my true love.

      Now, I'm taking a nap.

              OMG I LMAO Pam!! You are hilarious!! I love that you are so talented.

              Susan I KNOW you didn't look that bad in the original picture. I must warn you as a friend, the new picture/new you............Those roots are going to be a pain to keep up! I heard you and Tommy Lee were back on yet again!! Keep us posted on the wedding date. SOOOOOOOOO glad you are back!

              P.S. You need to save the hands for a scrapbook or adhere them well to your brace for safekeeping. Oh the stories you could tell about who's hands they REALLY are.
