Hello Everyone, I went back into the hospital last Wednesday night due to a 103 degree fever following my hernia repair. As it turned out, I have a staph infection. They had to place a PICC line. I was finally released from the hospital yesterday, but I'm on a home I.V. for at least four weeks. They are hoping to kill the infection. Unfortunately, it is very likely that the mesh that was placed to help secure the hernia is also infected. If that does not clear out, they will have to go back in and remove the mesh which I hear is not a pleasant thing. In addition, they would have to leave the wound open to heal from the inside out. So, please if you all could just say a little prayer for me I would really appreciate it. Thank you all for your continued support. Megen 389/269/180

Erin Hi sweetie you look great by the way. I have to admit that I dont post here much anymore for the reason you stated. Almost are at goal or there. I have moved to the BMI over 50 board where their struggles are only half over. Even though I have lost the same amount or more then most on this board, I still have a long way to go. You guys are still my buds and I love ya all but we are at different points in our journey and although I am very happy for each of you, it gets really down to hear how so many are at goal etc. I know I started heavier and I know all these things, but I found myself becoming very down reading this board every day. First I would be happy to read the post and respond in everyones joy..then have time to think about how I have so much further to go Keep up the great lifestyle and the gift that God gave us all..
