If she is squinty or chiseled out when she appears we know why

Regardless the issue she has been given privacy

Michelle Obama would be hounded and the enquirer would have declared her sex change had been fully completed in secret by a Cuban doctor

Normal occurrence nothing wrong but time heals and places like neck and eyes is not overnight

use it as yet another way to figure out how the wind is blowing.

After 9/11 Osama bin Laden came out with something like an hour and a half rant, which the NY Times transcribed. I read the whole thing. Somewhere after about an hour or so, he mentioned that just before 9/11, women in his camp were coming to him with (prescient) dreams about planes flying into buildings, great destruction. He was alarmed that the plot would be foiled by this info, so he basically told them they were being silly women...

I never consider psychic info as "carved in stone" -- but then, even NYT or WaPo or whatever: is THAT info carved in stone? -- times being what they are, I *consider* many sources.

letting the country know that she had something that concerned her physical appearance would not be so secretive, but alas, we are in a un-normal situation and therefore, for some unknown reason this administration and WH along with their gawd awful political party have to lie, non stop.

Also, the Republican Party along with their base must hate, stay angry, and blame all the time. The evangelists must say terrible things about persons who do not believe the way they do. So, if Michelle O. was in the hospital they would wish her ill and hope she doesn't leave the hospital. If she hasn't made a appearance in two weeks, they would claim she must be possessed and need to be eliminated.

It's sad, but I do think she must feel some urge to compete. I don't believe she would really go this far, but a face lift is not out of the realm of possibility.

It would have been done while she was on "vacation", at a fancy clinic somewhere with enough security to keep out the media. But if it were RECONSTRUCTIVE plastic surgery, it would need to be done in a major medical center, require at least 4-5 days in patient and 4-6 weeks of recovery at home. We know from the deposition during his divorce with Ivana he is capable of violence.
Also let's keep in mind it need not be her face....
I don't know what went on - but the whole story stinks to high heaven.

Silicone breast implants can rupture and leak, it's not uncommon. I wonder if she had to have hers replaced.
