**What are you thankful for?**

As the holidays approach and we plan to gather our families together, I recently was thinking about how thankful I am for so many things. I am thankful for my wonderful supportive husband - Kevin, my beautiful daughter, Rebecca, my handsome step-son Blair, my pets - Java, Lilo, Stitch, and Clayton, my parents and the rest of my family and friends. I am also thankful for Dr. Wynn and her staff for giving me a better chance at good health and for all of the support I have gotten from all of you on OH. Lisa

I am thankful for my family, friends, Dr. Wynn for giving a 2nd chance to live life to the fullest. My wonderful husband, kids, and mother and best friend Trina *****spected my decision to do this and supported me all the way. And my second family here on the DE message board. That was a good one Lisa Dana

I'm thankful for my family, my husband who has been so supportive throught this whole thing. Pushing me to get in my protein so I will heal faster. My sisters who call at least once a week to see how I'm doing. My daughters who , even though have reservations about this surgery doesn't say anything. My son who just doesn't say anything except " whats for dinner" lol My youngest even though she is 13 she still keeps me on my toes. My grandchildren Michael, Kyle and Tyler who keep me laughing. Furbabies Duncan ( dog) I never knew he was a guard dog. ( didn't want the health care worker to be near me) two cats , tiger and zip ( likes to lay on my lap) My doctor , Dr. Cha he is really nice and has helped me to look forward to my goal. His support staff. And this group of people who are always supportive. Sandy
