I'm tearful just looking at you. You look amazing. You know how much I admire you. a lesser woman would have gone right off track with the issues you've had to face this year.
Very well done my friend. Very well done indeed

Thanks Miss Tickle it's been a good road post op wise, family & work have been the challenge but somehow I've made it through the first year & am almost at goal. It's great to compare the before's & afters to see for myself just how far I've come as the head still lags behind the body. I'm going to try to start taking time to focus on the physical & emotional me for a while get my head straight & start to think where next especially re body image & plastics if it's even financially possible but that's a way down the line yet but I need to get things straight first.

Thank you all, it's been a great journey & I still have a few lbs to go to get to a healthy weight & bmi. The hospital aren't worried if I reach that considering how far I've come & don't want me obsessing on it either. But I'd like to get there if I can another 7-10lb should do it, may take a while but I'll get there excess skin may mean I never manage it but without obsessing I'll try for a while yet.

Thank you all.
Becky the floor is the original Victorian tiles found hidden under 2layers of tile paint, levelling cement & plastic tiles no wonder the skirting boards were rotting they were wicking the damp up through as the tiles couldn't breath. They changed from wet to dry within seconds of being exposed. Sadly we've only found enough reclaimed tiles to replace the damaged ones not the concrete slab put in by a previous owner. Renovations a work in progress dependant on time money & subsidence repairs.
