Hello- My Hoosier Loser Family!!!

Wow!!!! What a week or two this has been! I want to THANK YOU all so much for EVERYTHING!!! I have been brought to tears many times throughout all of this by the continuing support that you all have shared with my family and I! Fire/home-- We are in our temporary housing! It has been working out thus far! It has had its problems but we are working them out! We were able to move some things in around 9 pm on Monday, so I wasn't able to get too much accomplished before surgery on Tuesday morning. Had problems with the gas, no ho****er was rather shocking for Tuesday a.m., but it is fixed now- now we have no air, they are working on that the next few days, this is important as there are no screens in the house and it gets pretty warm in here and my son having asthma, but all in all, it is panning out! Surgery- I had to stay an extra day, but I was alright with that as I was very uncomfortable! I am doing better as of now, the tummy area where they repaired the hernia is the greatest pain. I haven't seen myself in the full mirror yet, but from what I can see it is looking pretty good, not much bruising but the swelling gets pretty full and tight by evening! I have ventured to trying to sleep in the bed, I am not used to sleeping on my back but so far so good! I am still so overwhelmed with everything, and want so badly to do for myself, that is the hard part! But THANKS to so many of you and my family and friends outside of OH as well, we are getting settled and moving forward! I can not express how grateful my family and I are for everything- I only hope to pay forward when others are in need and I am able to help! If you have donated in any way, clothing, households, monetary, etc, PLEASE send me a PM with your mailing addy so that I can send out Thank You cards- PLEASE!!! I want to do this for all of you, it is the least that I can do, and it will help me occupy my down time as well! Is anyone going to be at Clarion North or St. V's next Thursday? Please let me know, I see my PS on Thursday at 4, and wouldn't mind paying a visit, if I can! Sorry so long, I am thinking of you all daily and am so blessed to have you all be a part of my life and journey! Hugz Dawn Dan, Kim, Peggy, I hope all is well with your surgeries and all of the newly postops are doing well! BIG HUGZ- DAWN
