Silicon Poisoning



A very sad post, but women need to know about this stuff.
I'm calling my friend DI b/c she looks like princess di. This is not her real screename. For the last year she has stuggled trying to find out what was causing her to be disabled. She had to leave Atlanta and go to her mom b/c she suddenly got sick and HAD to have someone to help her. The frigging confused butt of a *lady* that she let get all up her butt ran off and left her at the first sign of illness and left her in a total mess. Its a sad story.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Di: Kristi...you there?
skullaria: yes - how are you?
Di: I have decided that I am going to do it again too....I have come to the conclusion that I do not want to be alone anymore, and I am tired of having to do everything by myself...I want to travel and have fun...and guess what....it will be a guy!!!!!=-O
Di: Women are WAY TOO COMPLICATED!!! DONE WITH THAT...
Skullaria: Unh-huh. I believe THAT.
di: I have to have major surgery in Atl next week
Di: so I am here online trying to book flights and hotels to stay in because my dumbass self isolated the whole time I was with her, and don't feel comfortable asking any of my friends to help me...fucked up bad!!!!
skullaria: what's wrong?
Di: Remember my scars? I had gastric bypass 20 yrs. ago and lost over a 100 lbs in a yr....then I had a tummy tuck and had silicone implants to fill the lose skin...well the damn implants are ruptured...hell we can't even find the capsule on the left one...my whole damn body is full of silicone...liver, kidneys...they thought that I had Lupus or MS, but turns out I have silicone poisoning and have had it for yrs...I have to have what will end up being a bilateral mastectomy...
Di: they are going to have to rebuild the chest wall on my left breast...and really don't know what all they are going to find once they get in...4 lymph glands have to go because they are so filled with silicone...
skullaria: OH SHIT girl!

Di: think it will hurt me to fly the day after surgery?
skullaria: the turbulence would not be good for you
skullaria: *if there is any
Di: this is such bullshit...I cannot believe after all I did for that bitch that she is doing this to me...
di: I HATE WOMEN!!!!
Di: lol
skullaria: I am so sorry
skullaria: What can I do?
Di: sucks...but that's okay
skullaria: Do you have a good doctor? Where are they doing this at?
Di: Awww how sweet!!! Wanna come down to Atlanta Monday night and stay with me in the hotel??? lol just kidding...knwing you you would.
skullaria: I'm not going to be in town hon. I've got some work I've got to do out of town, even though I've got a seriously bad ankle right now. Not great timing with the ankle - the team has a lucrative job and needs me for research support and interviews. I'll get back Sunday night and then have to be at work on Monday.
Di: I have the best plastic surgeon pretty much in the country for this procedure...it will be a 6 to 8 hr. surgery...they will do it in the surgery center and then let me go to the hotel that night and come back to be checked in the morning and then i can go home..if everything is okay...
Di: good...that matters...I have learned that...I have not been able to work in 5 weeks...I have double vision all the time and my memory has really been affected by it...lots of other stuff, but when it started affecting my brain, things had to be done then...I have a wonderful family doctor that pretty much let me work with him to figure out what it was..I was begging not to have Lupus pinned on me...it will take some time for me to get better but this is the start...
Di: hell,, I never liked these big ass titties anyway!!!
skullaria: I sorta kinda did. I am going to change your name and post this to my blog, if that is ok?
Di: sure....what is a blog?
skullaria: Like an online journal
Di: Oh okay...sure...
skullaria: http://www.wiresplice.com/blog/ my blog. Typos galore
Di: It is a HUGE issue...med field is divided on whether silicone causes all this because Dow Chemical is so big...people believe that palms have been greased to allow all this to happen...what is so funny is that when I had mine put in Dow said they were completely safe, even though, they knew that silicone caused all these immune diseasies in lab animals...they also said they would "last a lifetime without rupture" bullshit!!!!!!
skullaria: if I'd been treated right with my ankle when it first got messed up I'd not be in this mess
Di: www.plastikos.com
skullaria: I'll check it
Di: that is the website for my doctor...she is one of about a handful of plastic surgeons that has stood up to Dow and said what it does to people and she has gotten many death threats
Di: carries a gun on her...at all times...wild shit!!!
Di: I have never been an activist but I am going to really get into this because women are dying daily from these things...
Di: Money and greed....that is what runs our world!!!
