Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hey Sis, This letter brings tears of joy to my eyes....I am so happy for you! Yes, you've come a long way Baby! Congratulations on your graduation Sis! And Magna Cum Laude to boot....outstanding! (We may be brain fogged, but we are not dumb. ) I pray that the road ahead of you is filled with sucess after success, and that all of your dreams come true. The one thing we know is that after breast implants, we can handle just about anything else that comes our way, because we made it through this storm. It's been a nightmare, but it's in the past now, and you can look forward to tomorrow with lots of hope. Thank you for always coming back to share with us what is going on in your world Sis, and to let us know of your progress and accomplishments. I am sure that we will be hearing of your next milestone...that Bachelor's degree....someday in the future as well. God bless you, and may the sun always be shining for you. Great job! Sending hugs, Patty > > Hi everyone, > > I joined this group almost four years ago, not long after I got implants and realized that they were making me sick. I had recently gotten downsized from my job and decided to go to school full-time for a while. It was very difficult because just as I was starting school, I started getting sick - and I got sicker and sicker but continued to attend my classes. I remember sitting in some classes feeling like I was going to pass out or vomit any minute, but I did not miss a day of school until I was explanted. I had my implants removed six months after I got them, and initially my symptoms got worse after explant, but about four to six months later I started to improve. I wasn't in perfect shape by any means, but my determination was strong and I wanted to let all of you know that I just graduated yesterday with an Associates Degree in Business Management. I don't think I'm stopping at that, though, and am investigating a bachelors degree. Right now I'm working but I can't say I like my job - so this is driving me to continue with my education which will hopefully put me into a different line of work. > > During graduation, I felt pretty emotional because of all the things that have happened in the last four years since I began this degree.

I encourage you not to give up on your dreams, no matter what. > > Love to all, > > Sis > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the best of health, what you have just accomplished is magnificent...doing it with this illness is nothing short of phenomenal and miraculous!! Celebrate big as you greatly deserve it!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hi Sis, So good to hear that others are getting well. I had silcone inplants for 19 years and had a rupture. I did not even have en bloc but I am improving as well. It took almost 5 years and a lot of trial and error but I am getting somewhere. I finally feel as though I could have the brain focus and energy to go to school. That is wonderful that you did it!
