⭕️ Chronic Silicone Embolism & Silicone Breast Implants

“Pulmonary fibrosis in a patient with history of ruptured silicone breast implants may present a therapeutic challenge to diagnose and treat. In this case report, we aim to discuss our experience in diagnosing a patient with chronic silicone embolism syndrome masquerading as refractory multifocal pneumonia that presented with respiratory failure. A young woman with no significant past exposure having recurrent admissions to the hospital due to fever and shortness of breath was found to have chronic silicone embolism with pneumonitis. This case report emphasis the prompt diagnosis and treatment of silicone induced fibrosis and approach to the most common side effects of breast implants.”

Medical Question from 2010.. If I had an elevated WBC in February on a blood test. Would an elevated WBC on lumbar puncture be feasible in June?

First time I have done my makeup in years. Like full on. I have decided because I have so much, I might as well play with it. 😂 my skin doesn’t do well with foundation though, so that’s always fun.

I don’t wake up early. I am the type of person that I will sleep as long as possible. I’ll schedule appointments later, just in order not to wake up. Whenever I have been able to choose between morning, afternoon, or evening shifts at my various part time jobs.. I would always choose afternoon.

Gold Garage had me up at 5:45am to go get a generator in Spartanburg at Harbor Freight, last night they had just closed after we got back from the ATM because they only took cash.

We get there this morning right when they opened in order to get one. There were signs out front… NO GENERATORS. Well crap, we drove almost 2 hours and woke up early for nothing. Well, me early, he was already up.

We proceed to drive to 3 other cities in the upstate and each one had a big NO GENERATORS sign on the doors.

Moral of this story… Don’t trust the website telling you things are in stock in the aftermath of a hurricane. Just like us, their internet is probably down and so how would they be able to update their inventory online.

We were in the car a good 5 hours.. it was kind of miraculous, I did not have to go to the bathroom once. Also, my butt hurt like crazy, I’m used to Kristen Davis’s (the wheelchair, not the actress) cushion. Yes, our power is back on, but we need to be prepared for next time. Yes, I was fooled by the internet rumor that we would be hit again with an upcoming storm this week.

Power came back yesterday evening before we got home. I called my dad and they were working on the tree and power line while we were out. Didn’t get a generator because the store was only doing cash, but getting one today, because we can’t afford to do this again. Adventure time! 😂

Day 3- No power. Tree is still down on the power line at the end of our street and haven’t seen the power company. If it wasn’t for the neighbor just putting in an extra part to his driveway, the whole block would be stranded. We are venturing to Spartanburg to get a small generator. Wish us luck

Day 2 with no power. We were incredibly lucky and no trees fell around the house. There is a tree down on the power lines at the end of the street and so I anticipate a few more days with no power. Prayers with all those affected by Helene.

I’m going to a new doctor in the morning and I don’t know what to expect. I have never been to a pain management specialist. I don’t know how to describe half my pain.

Edit: Had to cancel the appointment because there isn’t power and a lot of trees came down last night.

Successful orthopedics appointment this morning. I can wear my new AFOs again. Not sure what happened, but after my surgery last year my ankles and calves decided they wanted to get bigger. So, I’ve been wearing my old AFOs.

I just did a charcoal face mask and feel like a new woman. Yay for random Mary Kay samples! 😂

Triggers: Breast implants and children, Medical Trauma Letter to my pediatrician from my gastroenterologist. The end is a little bit of an explanation why it was so late.

He’s at it again, folks! He will get it water worthy this winter, and hopefully will be dredging again next spring.
