Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall....

I have a friend who went to Park City for a "boob job". As she lay in the hospital bed, bleeding with the possibility of death imminent she said she couldn't help but think about her obituary.

Angel, our dearly departed mother, sister, friend, died unexpectedly in Park City from a boob job.....fortunately, they were able to get the bleeding stopped, the inserts came out, and she went home....flat-er than when she arrived.

Today I woke up with a black and blue swollen face. I tried to smile and the right side of my mouth just sat there. I pulled up my lip and to my horror, the entire side of my cheek was inflamed with aphthous stomatitis (mouth ulcers).

I finally make a decision, after all these years to correct my ortho's mistake(see last post)and now I look like a freak! My doctor assures me it will go away, but I couldn't help but think of Angel.....

If we could just be happy with things as they are....I realize many, many individuals would lose their lively hoods, but too, bad.

There hasn't been one surgery or procedure recommended to me that hasn't caused MORE problems than the one they were trying to fix.

evidence #1...orthodontics(twice...neither of which was necessary)
evidence #2...hysterectomy to stop pain (weight gain, and no more children, and I still have pain)
evidence #3...mono vision (irritation in right eye...it sometimes is half the size of the left one)
evidence #4...bite correction/veneers(mouth infection...and the verdict's still out...pray for me)

All of these efforts to improve or fix what God gave us....is there a message here???
