Here's one of my birthday gifts...



Recommended Posts

This is one of the things I got for my birthday. Something I did for myself.

Because I've had so many different health issues, I felt that I needed something really strong for healing. I'm on several prayer lists, (thanks everyone!) and even though I'm a Pagan, I welcome the prayers from all my friends who are soemthing else, and the well wishes from those that are athiests. All are equally powerful, and all are equally welcome.

This is located at my third chakra, solarplexes but on my back. The blue is the color of love, the healing color, red for the physical healing I need, yellow for rational thought and because it is the color for the chakra.

So anyway, I decided that I shouldn't actually wait until I was 80 to get my first tattoo, I figured 44 was good enough.

Oh, and could a Moderator please resize this bad girl?

Thanks Donali!

Donali, I wouldn't ever expect you to get a tattoo... (someone cover Donali's eyes) they use (someone have her sit down) *shhhh* needles. (Maybe someone should get her a glass of Water....

Actually, Vera, there is no orange in my design, but in my belief system, orange is the color of emotions but not healing.

Crystal, that is AWESOME! I have never considered getting a tattoo, really, but if I were going to it would be something original (and Dh would get a matching one). Your design is really lovely and I'm sure it will only get more so with time. Congratulations!

And Donali--HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, TOO!! Sorry I missed it, sistah. I was away and just haven't been up on everything. I'll bet the eyebrows are something! :mad:

LOL They're STILL tender. At least, I think they are... LOL

I'll have to make my own thread with pictures instead of hijacking Crystal's. But hey, VQ, this keeps your thread on top!! xxoo

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
