Melissa, I'm sitting at the breakfast table with my laptop and there's a big empty hole across from me where you used to be! I miss you!

Awwwww that's sweet Michelle. I was just thinking about you this morning because I know you're leaving Monday and I was wondering how your last weekend was going.

To be honest, I would rather be in your shoes now, with all the pain and suffering that you must be going through, than look at my ugly face in the mirror I think you are very brave to post pictures post surgery and as has been said by Ayaka.N, just wait until all the swelling and pain has gone and a new you will look back at you from the mirror and you will know that going through this was worth it Just think, another step completed to full transition Lucky you

I know you're leaving Monday and I was wondering how your last weekend was going.

Oh, you cannot believe how busy I have been! I have been out shopping. I found a place nearby (in walking distance) to get that mani-pedi we were talking about and acrylic nails as well. I also got my ears pierced and today I had my eyebrows waxed (necessary, because as you know they were moved from the place I last saw them).

I'm healed enough to wear some makeup, which is good because I am still a bit bruised. Still have that tape on my face to hold up the nose job, but at least I am quite a bit less freakish. And with the lip fill I am thrilled with how easy lipstick goes on!

Stitches are all out, Dr Cardenas is very pleased with how things have gone and I had my last anti-inflammatory treatment yesterday. Those treatments are very effective, and the only thing I'm waiting on are my lips to settle a bit. I can scarcely believe my own eyes when I look in the mirror. I am one happy girl!

Tomorrow I'll pack up, which will be harder than packing to come here because I have picked up 4 new pairs of shoes and numerous other souvenirs (yes, I'm a shoe addict. I admit it.)

I'll check in again when I'm home.
