10 Month Explant Surgery Journal
Before I knew... www.simplymarymusic.com
It was not until we saw the news report by Emmy award winning journalist, Kris Pickle from Arizona's family channel 5 news, that I even thought it was my implants causing so many health problems.
The media has been following breast implant illness and the cancer associated with breast implants known as BIA-ALCL for years now. The really disturbing part of this is that no one knows the problems that are associated because the algorithms are adjusted, how convenient. So you will not find any negative information out about the device you are researching until long after-the-fact. I totally believe this because I myself was searching Google high and low before I had breast implants placed.I am not a novice by any means when it comes to the computer. This bothers me because I did not find all of this terrible information until I was searching for specific symptoms I had endured after having them placed.
I now feel like a victim of our own federal government.They have full control over all of us as Americans and especially our health.The FDA is approving devices that currently have catastrophic failures reported in the hundreds of thousands. They state they were not aware of this.
This information has been hidden from the general public until recently it was brought to light in the recent news articles by Kris Pickle on AZ Family's channel 5. Nearly 6 million reports have been hidden from the public. The top three devices with the most problems. Silicone Breast Implants comes in at number 3 alongside diabetic glucose monitors as well as dental implants.
I can't begin to tell you how frustrating it is been for me for the last two years. I have been dealing with medical providers who do not even believe this is an issue. The same medical providers also have a laughed at meIn my face during appointments. These medical providers have left me with a fictitious dermatitis diagnosis. A diagnosis such as this requires A degree in psychology, I got this diagnosis from a dermatologist. These same medical providers have totally lost my confidence for the long haul. I am just one of thousands of women affected by silicone breast implants
.Our medical community needs to ban together andCreated databaseWith facts that are easy to access by both the medical provider and the patient as well. Patients do not approach doctors with made-up stories. I know that I myselfHave been begging for help for two years.I still am sick. And I'm still left with no care. All of this even after my implants have been recalled under a class one.
I'm not quite sure what I am going to do as far as my health problem goes. I do know however that I am going to continue trying to serve those that I can serve to the best of my ability.
I have lots of things to keep me busy around here. I took up an extra hobby doing pyrography and wood burning designs as part of my self-care routine. I am also working very hard on getting a full season of the Ask Simply Mary podcast launched and available on the networks, So please, if you haven't check it out. I can use all the support I can get!
I am still suffering many symptoms. It seems like many of my symptoms were dissipating, Now some of the symptoms are returning. My vision is super blurry To the point it's affecting my life. I felt like I had some improvement with that but it seems like it is going in reverse again. Of course my skin issues are not resolved, And it does not seem like they will be anytime soon or ever for that matter. The insomnia has returned with a vengeance and I have been awake every 1 to 2 hours like clockwork. So the nights are becoming very long.
I have some people telling me to go see the doctor again. The only response I can think of for them is to sit on my middle finger and rotate for a while while you think about saying that to me again. I must apologize for the sudden and terrible visual, You know this has been devastatingly real for me . When I tell you this I mean in the most terrific ways imaginable. Some days that still seems to be the case, but I am muddling through.
I began a regimen of colonial silver made by sovereign Silver, This is been the only product that even comes close to getting my skin symptoms at bay. I am hoping that using this on a more continuous basis may prove positive. We will not know until then.
I am not sure that I will be able to update the blog before the holidays arrive. So I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year with hopes for a better 2020 for all of us!
Remember the reason for this season is not youIt is Jesus Christ, someone we all should never forget.
Until Next Time!

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Greenland's People Must Decide Its Future, Says Nandy
In a recent statement, UK minister Lisa Nandy emphasized that the people of Greenland must have the primary say in determining their future, underscoring the principle of self-determination in the face of growing international interest in the Arctic region. As geopolitical tensions intensify and the Arctic’s strategic and resource potential becomes increasingly valuable, the minister’s remarks highlight the delicate balance between foreign interests and local autonomy. Greenland’s Strategic Importance Greenland, the world’s largest island, has become a focal point in global geopolitics. Its location between the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans offers strategic military and shipping advantages. Melting ice due to climate change is opening previously inaccessible sea routes and exposing natural resources, including rare earth minerals and potentially vast oil and gas reserves. These developments have drawn attention from countries like the United States, China, and European powers, each seeking to secure their interests in the Arctic. The island is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, with its own government handling most domestic matters, though defense and foreign policy remain under Danish control. Greenland’s growing autonomy has fueled discussions about whether the island should pursue greater independence or maintain its current relationship with Denmark. Nandy’s Statement and Its Significance In her address, Nandy stressed that any decision regarding Greenland’s future should be led by its people, not dictated by external powers. “Greenlanders must have the right to chart their own course,” she said, emphasizing the importance of respecting local voices amid international debates about the Arctic. Her comments came in the wake of increased international attention, particularly from the United States. Former President Donald Trump had previously proposed purchasing Greenland, a plan that was widely criticized and rejected by Danish and Greenlandic officials. However, the idea highlighted the geopolitical importance of the region and the potential for foreign powers to influence its future. Economic and Environmental Considerations Greenland’s future is not solely a political question. Economic development and environmental protection are deeply intertwined. The island’s economy relies heavily on fishing, tourism, and public sector employment. However, the melting ice and new accessibility to minerals and hydrocarbons present both opportunities and risks. While resource extraction could provide significant revenue and accelerate Greenland’s path toward economic self-sufficiency, it also carries environmental costs that could threaten the fragile Arctic ecosystem. Nandy’s emphasis on local decision-making implies that Greenlanders should weigh the trade-offs carefully, balancing economic ambitions with environmental stewardship. Global Implications The Arctic is increasingly becoming a theater of strategic competition. Russia has expanded its military presence along its Arctic coast, while China has labeled itself a “near-Arctic state” and is pursuing partnerships in the region. NATO has also shown interest in monitoring and securing Arctic sea routes. In this context, Greenland’s political choices carry broader international significance. By affirming the principle that Greenland’s people must decide their own path, Nandy signals that external actors should respect self-determination while engaging diplomatically. Her comments implicitly caution against attempts to pressure Greenland politically or economically, emphasizing that sustainable development and stability depend on local leadership and consent. Local Voices and Autonomy Greenlanders themselves have voiced a mix of opinions about the future. Some favor greater independence from Denmark, hoping to leverage natural resources to build an economically self-sufficient state. Others prioritize maintaining ties with Denmark, which provides financial support and international security guarantees. The debate is further complicated by the need to balance traditional livelihoods, such as fishing and hunting, with the economic promise of resource extraction. Experts note that ensuring meaningful participation of Greenland’s people in these discussions is essential. Policies imposed externally risk undermining social cohesion and could provoke resistance or unrest. Nandy’s comments highlight the importance of empowering local governance structures and supporting informed decision-making. Conclusion Greenland’s future is a complex tapestry of geopolitics, economics, and environmental stewardship. As international attention intensifies, the principle of self-determination remains crucial. The UK’s Lisa Nandy underscored that Greenlanders must be the ultimate decision-makers regarding their political and economic path. Whether Greenland moves toward full independence, strengthens its autonomy within Denmark, or negotiates partnerships with global powers, the key takeaway is clear: the island’s people must lead the conversation and shape their destiny. External interest, while inevitable, must be guided by respect for local governance, environmental sustainability, and the democratic will of Greenland’s residents. As the Arctic continues to transform due to climate change and strategic competition, Greenland stands at a crossroads. The decisions made in the coming years will not only define the island’s political and economic future but also serve as a benchmark for how global powers respect the sovereignty and agency of small, strategically important territories.
