Guest guest Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Dearest Kathy: Thank you for responding. My son keeps telling me to be strong and to not let people walk all over me. This is so difficult for me though, because it is easier to turn the other cheek when it comes to family. Anyone who hurts me gets taken off my list of friends. I think Rogene or Lynda said that it is easier to " delete, delete, delete " than to argue with anyone. If you are a strong person, go get the women who claim that breast implants are safe. I have found that most women do not want to talk about their problems if they are sick from implants. I know many women here who would rather die than tell anyone that they have breast implants. Some do not even tell their husbands!! I will give you an example. My sister, who incidentally has a silicone shunt, was taking care of her neighbour who was very sick. This lady divorced her husband just so she could go on welfare. This was a plan devised by the husband and wife to deceive the government. This woman had MGUS, and she told me so, but she did not expect me to tell her that I was sick from breast implants. When I told her my story, she did not want to be at my sister's when I came to visit. She knew that I knew, and she did not want the nuns who were visiting her to know. My sister almost died a year ago because her shunt is melting into her brain, and this woman would be sitting with her when we went to the hospital. But when we came in, she would leave, using her walker. Being at the hospital gave me a chance to spread the word regarding the dangers of silicone, and it was working. Then this woman told the nuns that I was trouble (She was a good (?) Catholic), and they dropped me very quickly. She has died since then, and her husband is living in her apartment next to my sister. She died from too many painkillers. This is one of hundreds of stories that I could tell. Sorry for being long-winded...love always...Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Re: Stacey: Lynda, double lumin implants > > > - > lea > You are a very strong courageous lady.You have been through so much > yet you have an indomitable spirit.
