Hi to everyone!

Hi to all my buddies. I know our time is precious and we are busy...so lets catch up. First of all where is everyone? I have been around. I am enjoying my retirement and soon will be gardening a bit. I found it hard through the winter, but now it's a bit different from last year. It was in November of 2006 I had the hammer toe surgery. It was the worse thing I ever did, but it's too late to complain. I suffer very badly from the effects the Diabetes had on me. I have no feelings in my feet from the Nueropathy. Any good news from anyone? My good news is that I have started walking again. I gained 12 pounds since my operation last year. Now I can wear my sneakers and walk. I always loved walking. I have lost 5 of those pounds and will get the rest off. I am still with my boyfriend and it will be 2 years in July that I live here. We have adjusted well to each other. Please lets post just a few words to say Take care and Peace to all Lorraine

I;m just checking in....quickly. Congratulations Lorraine on getting the exercise "going". Since I work 40 hrs a week, travel and still going to school full time, I rarely get in the exercise I would like to. However, this summer, that is going to change. I finally went to my WLS surgeon for a checkup......2 yrs. late. However, things are good. I'm finally at goal weight but the funny thing.....I had to gain weight to get there! I should have my Bachelors in Nursing this August. I will be going on a medical mission trip to the mountains of Peru....our youngest daughter gets married in November....these are just a few things that hopefully will keep me active. It's always great to hear from you. Hopefully, we can hear from some other folks as well. Blessings friend, luvitsunnyv
