ON MY WAY...

Well, friends, I've spent most of the weekend in my office or stress eating. I managed to lose 4 lbs. last week only to gain it back in the last 24 hours. Unbelievable. I have a huge event on campus today for which I am totally responsible, the end result hopefully will secure a $300,000 grant. I report to the hospital at 6a.m. tomorrow and will have a lower body lift, thighplasty and brachioplasty (arms). Should be home by Friday and will get in touch then. Until then, please be well everyone, be good to yourselves, your loved ones, and everyone who is fortunate to cross paths with you. Every day presents a new opportunity to share ourselves with the world. Let it shine, friends! Be a beacon of friendship to all. And, Connie, I shared your recent post with my kids -- my 12 year old son is STILL laughing! Love to all, Reenie

Yeah, 12 year olds usually GET me. No doubt because I'm right about at a 12 year old maturity level much of the time. I'm still talking about farts and boogers and cooties and such and finding it hilarious. OK, most 12 year olds are probably more mature. Reenie, shoot me the name of the hospital you'll be in and I'll call in a couple of days to see how you are. Love ya, Cons

I'll be thinking of you. I have no doubts it will go well. I'm two weeks out myself.

Reenie, I just wanted to send out my well wishes for your surgery and for your big event today. I'm sorry I can't write more but I am on my way out the door to my new job. Love ya lots and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Leslie

Wishing you the best, and a fast recovery. I will keep you in my prayers. Think everything is worth it you will look fantastic . Take care.

Reenie, You wont get this before going to the hospital but I want you to know I am thinking aout you and praying for a quick and uneventful recovery. You will be so amazed at how much asier it is to care for yourself and appreciate the "new" you after removing all that leftover skin.....be well and best wishes. I am hoping for some more reconstructin work, buttocks, and thighs by the end of the year, Janelle

Reenie, My thoughts and prayers are with you. You are still my hero...always! I know everything will turn out great and the surgery will be a success. Best wishes and lots of love, Joanie

You are in my prayers today. Sounds like you need some rest--have a good sleep and wake up even more beautiful! Joy

Many Prayers and gentle hugs for ya! Nic 291/165/155
