WANTED

Contact from a few missing FL board friends Mady in Miami Susan and Lisa from Jax Gail Marla Please post and let us know how you are doing! We miss you I'm sure there are some others I'm forgetting too.

Joy has been missing too! She was my angel, and I thought she must've flown back to heaven, because she hasn't been posting and hasn't returned my calls, but I'm happy to report that she's fine and working her fanny off!!! I don't have the details yet, but she's doing well and I was so glad she called briefly last night. Jan

Hi Amy!!!! My former before you is missing again. She popped back up long enough to drop me a short e-mail saying she was alright, just without power after the last hurricane. I wrote back to her but again have not heard back in a long time. If anyone knows how Christina C. is or if she's reading this, hope you're doing alright! Danielle

Amy, I am here. I am having some problems. Nothing major just inconvenient. The biggest is my Computer at home not working. I will not be able to make it tomorrow at the Meet and Greet in Orlando. But PLEASE do not count me out. I am just in a holding pattern for now. I'll be back. I love and miss you all. gail

Also Kim B. Where are you? I had been talking to her before my surgery and haven't heard from her since. Hope she is okay Carol

Hey Carol! I got put in the hospital the day of your surgery. My MRSA started acting up again, so I got stuck in the hospital for a week getting the heavy duty antibiotics. I just got out last week and have been trying to recover. Those IV anitbiotics are rough on the veins! Glad you are doing well with your surgery! Hugs, Kim

THERE you are Kim. So sorry to hear you were in the hospital for your bday but glad you are back out. Just try to get as healthy as possible for your surgery. Don't worry, it will happen soon for you. I am doing great and have more energy than I have in many years. I can actually clean my house without sitting down every 10 minutes. It is not that I LOVE cleaning house but I DO LOVE getting it over with so I can do something else. Good luck on your journey. Carol

Carol, Isnt it amazing to be able to do NORMAL things again? I couldnt stand at my sink and scrub a pot before without having to sit down because my back hurt so bad. Another bad memory was having to sit in a chair to prepare and cook asparagus that I was taking for Easter dinner earlier this Spring. It was ridiculous how limited I was in living my life. Now I can stand for hours without sitting down. I dont regret my surgery for one single minute. Amy

You are so right Amy. I was like you, sitting to do most anything I could. Cooking became a chore and I really like to cook. JUst having to sit down so many times and find ways to sit while I do parts of the cooking just became more than I wanted to admit to. I am only 17 days out and I already feel so much better. That is so amazing to me. I don't understand it but I love it. Carol
