Shaving hair does not make it grow back thicker. Hair that has been cut by a razor looks thicker because it has been cut at a sharp angle, and it also feels stubbly as grows back. However, the amount of hair on your legs (back, and other areas), and the rate at which it grows is determined totally by the hair follicle, which is not affected by shaving.

julio is her surgeon who ... made her who she is. I would bet that BB didn't fly Julio to LA for a check up.

The julio/julian guy is her plastic surgeon in Vegas--they joke about him all the time. Roddy calls him by the wrong name every time they refer to him so I'm confused which it is. T swears he's the greatest...anyway. he may have loaded her up with stuff before she left "just in case."

bb probably called her DR. and he may have ordered it for her..who knows? but if it were really something bad she would get medical attention CBS would see to it. God knows they ordered enough meds last year to start their own pharmacy, so I can't imagine they would let this one go..

Tonya very clearly on the feeds last night said she did not see a doctor because she didnt think it was necessary. She told Dani it wasnt leaking anymore and she was using neosporin. She said she did not want to see a doctor. CBS cant force someone to see a doctor if they dont want to. Its her call. I am sure she signed the appropriate waivers.

Yep. And CBS has her refusal to see a doctor on tape and in front of thousands of witnesses... doesn't get much more airtight than that.

Tonya just said she saw a doctor. The same guy who gave her a physical at the hotel examined her. I think it just happened.

It's funny...Tonya isn't complaining about this at all....it's everyone *here* that seems to have a problem with her medical condition. Anyone who has been through any type of enhancement surgery is told of the potential risks, and side effects, infection probabilites, etc. Give Tonya a little more credit people ...please...especially since this isn't her first time around. This is not all that uncommon. She is an adult and chose to have this surgery, and, to this point, she is acting responsibly.

well, i would not want to be in the hot water of the hot tub as tonya soaks the green stuff out! no wonder she was getting in alone earlier!

oh, it's only a babyruth....

actually, tonya was complaining about it a couple of days ago, showing off her 'sore' or 'blister'and whatever else she called it. she showed it to several of the houseguests, so she knew it was something...
i remember thinking it was possibly an allergic reaction to her microphone or something at first. i am allergic to metal and when i wear pants that buckle, i have to put a tiny piece of cloth tape on the little flat round metal back that touches my belly or i'll get a rash in 5 minutes the exact size and shape of the metal.

She has also said that she has a very high tolerance of pain, that is what concerns me. If she gets sick, will she just go with it or say something. I do have concern of staph infection and that can kill you. Is there a nurse out there who can say anything?

GAWD this woman is disgusting. This is the first time I've been happy to hear the FOTH music...she was talking about how she can tell when she has an infection by the smell of her urine, but of course it's cause she's having so much sex with David now. BLECH BLECH BLECCCCHHHHHH!!!!!!

After surgery like she had, a common risk is a deep tissue infection. The most often prescribed medication for postsurgical infection is the antibiotic Cipro (you remember Cipro from the Anthrax scare), which has shown itself to be effective where other medications fail. Soaking in that hot tub would also be beneficial, although she would have to be careful to dry the affected area after soaking. Water (moisture) left in an open wound can promote secondary infection. One of the problems with Cipro is that is can really knock you down (nausea, dizziness, fatigue, disorientation); those are some unpleasant side effects while you run its' course, which can be for ten days or longer.

I think that she will be monitored closely by the physicians.

But Bo...she's being closely monitored by us...why would she need a doctor?

Tonya was seen and given meds by DR Horowitz (the one that gave all the HGs their entrance exam). She will not take the meds until friday when she can eat real food, she feels she isn't eating enough to absorb the meds and they make her nausious.

Apparently she has a bladder infecton as well as the issue with her breast incision. (I think the meds are for the bladder infection -- but not sure)

You would think BB could edit the rules so she could eat something else and start the meds now. Won't it keep getting worse if she doesn't start the meds? They should trade her for Josh on the PB & J since he cheated!!

I dunno, but it certainly seems like she should start taking the medication right away. If she's supposed to take it with food, she could eat a sandwich and take them, couldn't she?

And what if she doesn't win the next food challenge?

I think that the rules should be qualified,also.
There's a time to remember that it's only a game and IMO that is when a person's health is at risk.
Everytime that I have been given antibiotics I have to start them immediately-this show is getting wierd.
It's a lot different from last year.

she could take the pills with her pbj sandwiches. i have never seen an rx that says, 'take with food or milk, but make sure it isn't pbj, and if it IS pbj, wait until you get good food to start these.' i can't believe she would play games with her health. i'm with maryann--i'd be on those pills immediately!

hi, i'm new to posting, (but have been lurking for a while now. i feel like i know you all). ANYWAY, just wanted to add that some antibiotics actually CAUSE a bladder infection. i blew my knee out and had an ACL replacement. the incision site got infected, had to go on antibiotics.....the bladder infection just added insult to injury. (sorry...couldn't resist...)

Me thinks if the Pnt Butter was consumed instead of being rubbed all over the body including the incisions then there may not have been a problem.

Is pnt butter food for thought or food for top? That is the question!

Another point.. This sounds disgusting, but it could be a problem. Wouldn't an infected wound cause a health hazard to the others in the hot tub and pool? It is oozing a body fluid, which could be a problem to the others (especially if there is any blood also seeping). I'm not saying she has any illnesses. But, her seeping wound does pose a potential health risk.
I think Tonya should stay out of the water until the wound is healed.
Yes, there is chlorine in the water, however, we don't know how closely that is monitored. Also, it isn't a guarantee the chlorine will kill the infectious bacteria or anything else in the fluid.

Hot tubs are breeding grounds for germs and bacteria- While a hot soak would be good for her soaking in the hot tub can not be!
