Thank You

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have sent me messages of support, encouragement, and prayers. I don't have time to respond to everyone individually so I thought I'd just post it here. I will travel to Little Rock tomorrow to do all of my pre-op testing, wish that was done already. Surgery is scheduled for 7:30am on Friday, pray that they will be on time (none of my other surgeries were ever on time). I'm not nervous or scared, just anxious to get it done I think. I'm not one to sit and worry over things that are out of my control...once I go to sleep, I am in the hands of my surgeon and God. I have total faith that God will see me through this, that he will give my surgeon the knowledge and skill to get me through it. Once the surgery is done and I am home again I can get through whatever comes my way. The hardest part for me is going to be away from my children...I've never been away from them for this long, but they will be in capable hands. Once again, God will take care of us. I probably won't be posting anymore until after surgery, I will try to get on Sunday night or Monday sometime and let y'all know how I'm feeling. Thank you so much for caring and being the sweet people that you are. The next time I "talk" to y'all I'll be needing a seat on that bench, keep it warm for me. Love you all, Denise

Best wishes Denise. We'll keep you in our prayers and we'll be here waiting for you!! Margie

Hi Denise, My surgery was scheduled for 7:30, always good to be the first one in that door! It was a little late getting started, maybe 30 minutes, but you'll have some great happy juice, so you won't care much about what time it is. Depending on what my work schedule does, I'll stop by sometime on Saturday. The weather isn't going to be so great on Sunday, so I won't want to go out. You know, this transplanted Californian is scared to death to drive in anything that even LOOKS like ice! Such a wimp....need to get over that, huh? We'll be thinking about ya!! Hugs, Susan

denise, good luck and keep us posted....we will all see you on the "loser" side....be sure to take some chapstick. and think happy skinny thoughts. life is just beginning for you in some aspects....so you are being re-born. everything will be fine as you said god will take care of us. tammy
