Here it is!

Well, here it is, the tawdry shirt with all of it's magical powers. Please note the lack of makeup and styled hair. I am very brave to post this.
I had my follow-up appointment day and everyone is amazed at my progress. Who's next?

I wish I looked that good 2 weeks after surgery!!!

Great pic! Glad to hear about your great progress.

Very becoming, Michelle.

Your radiant good health outshines the tawdriness of the shirt!

It's only been one week today.

Michelle,

I don't look that good WITH hair and makeup done. You are/look amazing and I hope things continue on this great path.

 

[lynn]

Good heavens! You look great!!

(I was still in the hospital at one week, I'm jealous)

 

[Phyllis]

You look wonderful and outshine the shirt! Amazing recovery- keep up the good work!

 

[ruth]

You look positively FABULOUS!!!!

You look positively FABULOUS!!!!

Wow, you look soooo good for 1 week out! Just amazing. Darn, I was just barely home from the hospital then and certainly not up for a shirt and pose yet.

I mean, you look good even IN THAT SHIRT which is really saying something

You have served the Divine Order well, Lady Michelle!

All my best,
Lady Ruth

The women certainly have a way of making the Tawdry Shirt much less tawdry.

 

[Ross]

Fabulous! Wish it would have been a little closer up, but it's acceptable.

One week ago??

That can't be - you look absolutely radiant!! So happy that your surgery went so well and you are recovering so smoothly. You lucky!!

Come on Michelle,,,tell the truth, you took that picture BEFORE you went for OHS,,,,right? it just cant' be...ONE WEEK????

 

[wildcat fan]

Hey Michelle ,

WOW you look awesome and you are very beutiful no matter what anyone says . Alot of people I know are commenting on how good I look considering that I had OHS in Nov.2006 the good news is I have finally returned to work this week and it drained me both physically and mentally. Well gotta go for now .

Wow! You look FAB!

I didn't think we'd see very many of the ladies of TOOTS (The Order of the Tawdry Shirt) showing their scar, but you've set an example for all to follow.

 

[StretchL]

Hey, Question:

Hey, Question:

Your scar looks to be much lower than mine, which goes up north of the sternum, almost to the nape of my neck. Did your doc do a partial sternotomy on you? Thanks.

Stretch, Ruth, David and the rest. You all need to repost your pictures in this thread so they are all here for future viewing and comparison!
