3 months today......

Good morning, gang....... I am alive. I am alive. If not for the grace of God and this surgery, I would not be here to say this. I truly am alive. My lung infection is on it's way OUT, yayyyyyyyyy! I am not blue because of my lack of weight loss so far, I've lost 42 pounds and feel better than I have in so many years. I am no longer a 230 units of Insulin a day user. My BP meds are being discontinued one at a time and I can actually walk 6 miles in one day, go work out in water aerobics for an hour, shop till I drop (mostly when the money runs out...grin!) and still come home to fix dinner for my family. Whew.....and I do that. I don't know what the world considers a "Miracle", but I am alive and that's a miracle for me. Love, Katherine -42 274/232/?

Katherine, What a great message to start my day with! It feels so good to know that someone is feeling great and loving life. I'm sure glad that infection has subsided and you're back feeling better. You have made my day. Go out and enjoy yours. Windy/Pat

Katherine, You sound absolutely wonderful and I'm so glad for you. I trust your daughter and gradson are still visiting and that now you feel strong enough to be enjoying them to the fullest. Julie

It sure is a miracle to be alive! Thats wonerful about all the meds you have been stopping ! Just think it will only get better!!! And 1 more thing 6 miles a day is amazing! You go girl!

Hi Katherine! Praise the Lord! You are so right. Each new day the Lord shows us His grace and mercy. We are His "miracles". To think that we are still alive and growing stronger each day, because He allowed this surgery to be there for us. God is so good! You are doing splendid. Keep up the good work and that positive attitude.

Happy anniversary Katherine Today is my 3 month anniversary too! I too am so greatful for this surgery! Your positive attitude is great and your exercise routine blows my mind! Have a great day celebrating. Linda
