I forgot to mention - that MIL went up to the hospital for a check-up on Thursday regarding her nasty infectious lower-body lift scars. The plastic surgeon ripped her wounds open to let the pus out, with his hands. That's got to hurt. She's been infected for weeks, with open wounds and drains. This, dear reader ...

MIL is still in the hospital. She's having testing done - ruling out a possible heart attack. (All I heard was something about nuke testing?) Apparently - she had been nauseous and dizzy, but on pain meds, not feelin' much pain. The EMTs transferred her to paramedics en route yesterday - and she's back in Boston (where she probably shouldn't ha ...

So, it's been what, nearly eight weeks or so since MIL's lower body lift and butt lift? Today - back up to the hospital. She got a fever, higher than it's been (she's been feverish on and off,) and developed a rash. When I saw her this afternoon, her cheeks were still red and she was spotty.

... ion, she says that her doctor and his team are:"Really, really great, and I'm just sick because I'm older, you probably won't have this happen. When are you calling for your surgery date?"It's true, I am probably better off - if only because I am younger, but I am anemic, something she isn't.
