this is day 2 of blogging. it's kind of complicated, but i'm getting the hang of it. posted some pics on www.photos.yahoo.com/nappychik. that's a big accomplishment for me. i've been locked for 1 month and 5 days now. my 1st wash and retightening was @ 3 wks. and it didn't go as planed. the was fine but i was only able to get the front retightened due to personal business. that took about an hour. painfree thankfully. i've heard others complain of pain/discomfort. so now @ 6 wks, it's surely time to get the full retightening. i've got a lot of bush action going on.
