FILERS, DAY BEFORE..4 HOURS AFTER
Well, I decided to let you see some pictures of the fillers I had done. Now, I want you to keep in mind that the picture is only 4 hours after the procedure. And that it takes 2 full weeks for the filler to get to their maximum effect. They absorb 1000 times their weight in water so the difference will continue to be evident. Note where you can see the needle mark down my frown lines and around my mouth. Plus there were other injections you cannot see. Notice how smooth the frown lines are compared to picture one. And if you will look at the right, bottom corner of my mouth you will see a very deep wrinkle and it is virtually gone with the fillers. The smaller lines will gradually diminish over the next two weeks. I will post other pics with more recent results next week. But would appreciate your feed back on this one. I had one of those night where sleep kept eluding me. Always just beyond my grasp. I was up at 12:45 and stayed up until 3:15. I finally fell back to sleep until 6:30. I feel like I have been run over by a truck. I do not function well with out my 4 hours of straight sleep. Unfortunately, I am not a day time napper. Plus I don’t have time to take a siesta.I had a man here yesterday that is going to paint my upstairs hall/office. Normally, we do all our own work but this job requires scaffolding and he has all the right tools. He is a younger guy, late twenties, just married. He seems to know what he is talking about. I hope he is up to the job because there is a lot of drywalling that needs to be repaired at the seams. The last guy didn’t have a clue about feathering out the seams. You can see where every piece meets another. Bad, bad, bad!!!! He told me what to get for paint quantity. I use a flat or velvet finish on the walls. He is also doing the banister and repairing cracks in that. I am using a semi gloss latex on that. He will be starting on April 14, this is after Easter weekend. He could start right away but with our cruise coming up we really don’t want to get into that kind of mess. This will also give us the weekend before he starts to clear out the room, remove base boards and tear up the horrid carpet. I may even tape off the border myself even though he said he can do it. His rates are very reasonable, $15.00/hour. If he is any good I may get him to do the spare bedroom and this is basically just straight painting.I think I am going to give up my little business of getting groceries for people and doing house work. I am finding that it cuts into my time too much and I often feel stressed about it. I also find that it is hard on my body as I work flat out. The next day I am always sore in my knees. The groceries always takes an hour minimum and I usually have to lug them upstairs or down a long walkway. And I am only charging $12.00/hour. So it is hardly worth my time and effort with the gas cost factored in.Had a nice visit with my daughter yesterday. She is looking for an apartment for the first of April. Presently, she lives with her boyfriend at his parent’s house. This was suppose to be a temporary situation. They were suppose to get an apartment of their own months ago. But he is a mama’s boy and does not want to move out. Why would you when it is basically free rent, food, lights, laundry etc.???? He is going to be 26 years old and he has never been on his own!!!! My daughter can’t take living there anymore. It’s not that the parents aren’t great to her because they are. It is a matter of privacy and space. She is fed up trying to light a fire under his butt so she is going out on her own and if he doesn’t like it too bad. She will then see if their relationship improves any, ie. He is more willing to cut the apron strings. If not she is going to call it quits. She says she refuses to be a surrogate mum to him. I totally agree with her.Well, I have been long winded in this journal so I will sign off for now. I wish you all a wonderful day. Debbie

Debbie those results are amazing!! What a difference in such a short time!!
I hope your painter does know his job and does it right. Are there going to be before and after pics too?
Glad you had a good visit with daughter and I hope things work out for her.
Take care,
hugs Cathy
Shoot, now you have me wanting to get fillers, lol. You look awesome and I am glad you feel good about it. I know what you mean about realizing your limits. If you think the jobs you are doing are too stressfull, then you have to care about you. I make $20 and hour on a cleaning job and more on an organizational job. That is great motivation for me to continue at this point. Especially since I dont want Josh to get a job until he graduates High school. I will keep you and your family, especially your daughter for now, in my prayers. Take care of you Debbie.
I slept alot yesterday and feel a tiny bit better today. We will see what the day brings. I have just resigned myself to waiting this o ut and stop fighting it or worrying about it. It just is what it is. My usual 4/8 rule. I live decent 4 monts out of 12. The other 8 are a struggle in some way. Hugs
O.k. I gotta ask, what do they use as fillers and where does it come from? Can\'t wait to see pictures after they fillers have had a chance to really cook awhile, can see a nice improvement very quickly as it is, you must be so pleased.
I\'m sorry to hear your daughter is tied up with a mommas boy, from my experience most of them never grow up if they haven\'t by his age and if he can\'t keep sponging off mom then he\'ll try to find a wife who will take over mommas roll, I sure hope she figures that out and moves on unless she wants that kind of life. One thing with the mommas boys, if you don\'t mind the place their mothers have in their lives, they almost never move on on their own, to dependent and ready to settle for whoever is willing to take care of them.
hi deb...im amazed at how quick the fillers work and what a difference! is the procedure painful? sounds like youve got one heck of a busy schedule as usual...maybe it would be good to at least cut back alittle on the grocery runs...give you some time to do the things youd like to do or extra time to do all the renovations at your home. i wish you the best of luck with all the projects! hugs to you
Hey Debbie, I love the results, I am not sure what did you do for that. Company of young man- lady ;-), it looks like fun.
