A special thank you...

to all of you for your supportive and encouraging messages. I can't tell you how much this board has helped me. Whether it be messaging to each other personally or just reading your profiles and posts. Now that I am finally on the losing side, I hope I can return the support. My surgery went very well, and I am recouperating well. I know this is what God intended for me. I give him all the praise for my success and my successes to come. I'm here to stay, so if anyone needs to talk or ask questions, please feel free. I can only answer from my own experiences, but I can also send big hugs... Which believe me, are definately needed. God bless, Charlene

Charlene - I'm so glad to hear from you! I'm glad things went well and are continuing to be good for you. It's an interesting road to travel, but I think it will be worth it for all of us! Take care of yourself!! Big ((((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))! Lisa S.

Glad to hear you are doing great! It's always great to give the Lord praise for what he provides for us. He is so gracious. My prayer for you is that your adventure will be without too much pain and adversity. Keeping a positive attitude and doing what you need to do will be the best thing you can do! Keep us posted!
