2 year explant anniversary!

Let the party begin… it is my 2 Year Explant Anniversary! 2 years since my painful journey began and started coming to an end. Told you I would be here to blog about it. Rather than ramble & reiterate all that I have said before.. I think it will be good to list the pros & cons of this terrible journey.

Cons:

  • Went through hell for 9 months - sick as heck, no memory, foggy, body pains, dimentia, chills, blurry vision, a sezuire, a coma, the list goes on….
  • 2 scars under my breasts
  • Scary memories that will last forever.. and the scary things people tell me that happened that I have no memory of
  • Seeing breast implants seen as such a great thing in the media and how women’s beauty is portrayed
  • Missed1 yr of work & life
  • Lost my apartment & ruined a relationship
  • Found out who my real friends were
  • Frusteration that nothing is being done about this crisis
  • Lost a lot of money & got into debt trying to get better

Pros:

  • Appreciate life now & don’t take it for granted
  • Help other women either make the right decision or comfort them and help them in sickness, as they find my site
  • Am able to save some money now to buy a house one day
  • Got into a wonderful new relationship
  • No more anxiety.. I have been through the worst.. now I am a brave woman!
  • New challenging job that makes me happy!
  • Became closer to my family
  • Found an amazing Dr. who helped me get better
  • Have met tons of amazing women who love & support me
  • Feel beautiful the way I am!

The list goes on & on.. but that felt good and I just wanted to share my anniversary of getting my implants out with everyone. The worst decision I ever made was to put those objects in my body.. and the best thing I ever did was to take them out :)
