I'm BAAACK!!! Big Hugs to All !!

My Friends! I am HOME! YEAH!!! It was a tough few days there but I pushed through and now I am finally joining you on the losing side! I wanted to give HUGE hugs and thanks to my Angel MaryJo. She's just been such a doll and a good friend. And a GIANT Hug to all of you out there on the CT board for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers this week. I could feel the group hugs pulling me out of ICU and pushing me to get up and moving (well ok - that and the darn beeping noises in ICU drive you NUTS!). Just wanted to write a quick note to say Hi...I'll write again soon and I'm so happy to have a support team like this one - you are all the best!!! Hugs, Carla

Congratulations Carla! I hope to see you on the losing side soon! Anne Pre-OP

Oh Carla!!! Welcome home, welcome home. We were all so worried about you and I must tell you that your name came up several times on Saturday at the get together. I am so happy that you are doing better and home where you belong. Let me know when you are ready to start thinking about the gym thing. I would be happy to show you around. Don't pu**** too fast however no coach potatos allowed Take care and talk to you soon. Linda

Hi Carla, I have been reading your progress on the message board and I have been praying for you as well. I think you are an inspiration to me, as not every surgery is completely smooth and you've proved that you can push through and make it!! Be well and hope you're feeling better each and every day!! I hope to join you as a success story after my surgery on April 27. Take good care! Linda.

What a great face to see when I sign on to the boards today!! WELCOME BACK!! Isn't it just the best to be home in your own bed without all those beeping sounds and blood pressure cuffs??? Take is slow huni....we are all here for you! hugs Cheryl
