I had saline breast implants in 1986, about 35 years ago. At that time I had had my 2 kids and was left with very saggy boobs. I went from a B cup to a C cup, nothing crazy. I was pretty happy except I lost feeling in my nipples, which really sucked, (no pun intended). Unless you felt them, you really couldn’t tell so they were not perfect, but overall they boosted my confidence. Now all these years later they are still there, but not really. They have burst and it is more difficult to get a mammogram, which I have yearly. I have never had them removed because I didn’t want to spend the money. Now its a matter of being afraid because the last time I had surgery, removing the baclofen pump, I ended up in the ICU. I think it was because of withdrawl from baclofen, but I’m not sure. My diagnosis of MS was a year after I had the implants and I have thought many times if it could be related to the implants.
Why I’m bringing this up is because my daughter has had her implants removed, ( I had previously had a blog entry about this). She attributed her implants to everything that was wrong with her, her skin, her feeling sick all the time with no other explanation. She found a group on Facebook with many others talking about their symptoms and how removal of their implants solved their ailments. Among some of the ailments were autoimmune diseases amongst a multitude of sicknesses. I do not doubt any of this and I was happy to hear she wanted them removed, (except for the fact she wanted $2500. from me). She is a very tiny person and had these huge balloon implants that looked totally unnatural for someone her size.
She had asked me if I had my removed and I lied and said yes, frankly because I didn’t want to hear any of her shit about that’s why I’m sick. I called her last week because she is the only family member who hasn’t had the Covid vaccine. My son and his family are going to Florida, they have all had their vaccines. I was worried about her getting this new dangerous variant that is going around and possibly giving it to my granddaughter. Well if course it turned into a big fight with her telling me she’s not putting that poison into her body. She also didn’t want her son to get the HPV or Meningitis vaccines, which again are a big mistake.
Well as usual it escalated and she accused me of lying to her about having the the implants removed and that it could be associated with my MS. She accused me of getting on her because my son was gonna be down there for 10 days and I was taking it out on her, (wrong) It has nothing to do with her. She said that she knows because Pete doesn’t know anything about the surgery and how could I possibly have had the surgery without him knowing about it!
She’s such a fucking piece of work. I never told Pete I had them, and being we have a non-existant sex life, it didn’t really matter. He’s shown no interest and has never brought it up. That means that when she called him for Father’s Day, (which was very nice) she must have brought it up with him! This is none of her business. He won’t bring it up, because that is his way, ignoring everything that might be important. This isn’t the first time her big mouth has fucked things up. She has proven over and over again that she can’t keep a secret. She hung up on me which is very predictable for her.
Next thing I get is an Instant Message with someone’s testimony that her implants caused MS. We had also argued about her sources of news and that you can find any belief you might have, there is an outlet for it and other believers on the internet. I went to WebMD and typed in MS and breast implants. I could find nothing supporting the connection. There are instances of problems with silicone implants and that is why they were taken off the market. I have not contacted her since. I was tempted to apologize that night but I didn’t. I’m really sick of her dramatics, all the time. It’s impossible to have any conversation with her, because she knows it all.
