Thank you all so very much!

My labs have all come back negative, my INR was in the low normal range, and my CT Scan showed Fatty Liver Disease, like most obese people.

SO, as far as I know now, my surgery is still on for next Wed. morning the 17th!

I want to thank all of you for all of your prayers, thoughts, and swinging critters.

I haven't been on the puter much here recently, but with the death of my brother, I've just not been able to balance my time well.

Between my Angel Julie Townsend and myself, will keep you up to date as things happen.

Diane what good news.  Thank you for letting us know.  I'm thrilled to hear it.

Thanks Becky!  I tried to respond to you on my last post about the problems, but had trouble with OH and it wouldn't work.  I haven't been on here since.

You always make me feel better.  Thank you so much for your support!

Love, Diane

Diane-- Happy for you! I will be 9 days behind you!!!! Here's to us and uneventful recoveries!

I'm starting to get a little bit scared, have you felt that way too?

I've been so focused on everything else going on in my life, then my fear over my labs and tests, and now that all is settled, this stupid fear kicks in!

I think I'm going a tad bit crazy, don"t you!?

Ready, set, GO DIANE! Wishing you well and I know that you will do fine!

Thanks Butch, I really appreciate your support!  You're right around the corner!

Deaths happen but they are very rare. Complications happen and they are rare, too, just less so.

Concentrate on making yourself as healthy as possible pre-surgery and set your mind to comply with all the walking and sipping you'll need to do post op even if it hurts and you don't want to do it.

You'll survive this.

Yes, you are crazy and this is perfectly normal.

Thanks Goodkel, I love your response, it made me smile!

Thanks for the info about the video, you're the greatest!

 
Diane,

You're gonna do GREAT!  Before ya know it, you'll be switched!!!  (((hug)))

I'll keep in touch with you before surgery - then your DH - to keep tabs on how you're feeling.

Know I'll be praying for you to have an easy surgery and totally boring recovery!  

Talk to ya soon!!!

XOXO!!
Julie
