Greetings all from Germany!!

Happy Friday to us!! I work at an American School and we have no students today!! and what a relief. Sorry it has been so long since I've been on line. I have looked but not said anything for a while. No floods here....I am about an hour from Frankfurt, Germany in a town that is filled with American Service Personel: Kaiserslautern. We have the biggest American Hospital outside the US: Landstuhl and Air Base: Ramstein. And more than 30, 000 Americans live and work here. I am well, except for wanting to EAT all the time. And No I am not hungry. I am getting plenty of good food but the picking at things all day ha**** I am still at 160 but only because I run 5-7 times a week 3-4 miles!! I could loose that last 10 pounds if I could stop picking, but alas. I am OK. I have an appointment for tummy tuck breast lift for January 8, 2007. I am pretty sure I am done loosing. Next will have to be butt and thighs which are the worse I have seen( OK, Maybe not the worst , but totally annoying). I have also moved up on the transplant list: I have been waiting for a cornea for a while. The cornea is the clear white part of your eye that covers the eye and helps you focus. The good news is that I can be called at any time and finally begin the process of sight!! Boy, I guess that is a lot going on!! And working full time too. I cannot believe that it has now been a year and a month since I took the plunge into this journey. Time to start counting the Blessings!! I hope Ann, you are doing well..I read about the Heart issue and you are in my thoughts. Donna Mae: That KNEE!! Gotta heal!! I think about you often too!! The weather here has turned: I scaped ice off the windshield Thursday AM!! YUCK. Hope everyone is well and not suffering from the muchies like me!! Where do they come from? Hugs from COLD Germany, love Jacqueline

Jacqueline, Glad to hear from you. I am well too. Drop in every once in awhile so we know all is well Heidi

There you are!! I was worried about you with all the bad weather going on in Germany. I am ecited for you for your tumy and breast!! That is so awesome. Good for you!! Have a good weekend Jacquline, love donna p.s. My knee is doing great!! I am driving now -- yeaaaa. And basically in no pain at all except at night when I go to bed, which is normal. I am getting a good range of motion and making good progress. So all is good with me!!

Dear Jac, What would we do without you on here. I am so happy every thing is falling into place. I am so happy about your cornea and your other surgerys.. You really have come so far. and to run like that is so great !!! Thank you for caring. I have picked my self up. Now I want to be healthy. I got my nails done and statred tanning again. I went shopping and got oll dressed up. I am not able to excercise hard for awhile until they find out what they need to do. I am hoping just the meds will do. Surgery is so hard on me. I just wears me out. Hugs To All

Hi Jacqueline, So glad to see your post...Glad everything is going well for you. Will pray that you get your transplant soon. Can you see at all? Congrats on having PS soon, too. Try to have someone take a pix of you and let us see what you look like! Have a great weekend. paula
