Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. I am E's better half, Becky. Some of you I have met at support groups with E in Speedway, or at the clothing exchange, or at the Ornament exchange. I am in the process of getting ready for surgery, after all the insurance hoops. I'm looking forward to chating with you and getting your support, just like you have given E. I ask for your prayers and look forward to coming to the "lighter side". You are all great and I am encouraged by your thoughts.
Bless all of you.
Becky Luca

Oh My Gosh..... I'm so sending you a hundred thousand Umber hugs. I think you and E are the cats meow.

I hope you remember me. I recently got married. My husband is Matt.... and when we'd met you all for dinners we had a small baby with us, Quinntin. Well he's not so small anymore. He's almost 15 months old going on 30 I swear, hahahahaha.

That's so amazingly great that you a prosueing(sp?) surgery also. Welcome to the loser's bench.

Blessings

Hi Becky,

I too have met you at a few events- clothing and ornament exchanges and dinner, as well! I didn't realize that you were looking into surgery! Congrats on your decision! I am rooting for you! You have great support from E, but we are all here for you , as well! You were already a part of our OH family, but now, to be a loser too! Do you have a date yet? Good luck, as you already know, these are amazing journeys that we are on, I look forward to seeing your progress and hearing of your WOW moments!

Hi Becky!

Welcome Welcome! As I'm sure you've expereinced there are many great people on this Indiana board. I just had my surgery Friday and consider these folks here a large part of my support team. Looking forward to hearing more from/about you.

Becky,

I'm so glad to see you posting on here! Now..to get Emil to take a smiling pic of you to put on here! We all like to watch those wonderful changes in people's avatar pics.

Is your paperwork with insurance now or did you already get your aproval notice? I know you're thrilled to get that psyche eval behind you. I think more people are nervous about that little session than they are about having the surgery! LOL!

Welcome on the board..and Becky, please feel free to email me, call me, whatever. I may have met you through Emil but I think you both are very, very special people. Let us know if you want to get together for dinner sometime..k? That reminds me..I have some Paragon coupons to give to you guys. I'm sure you'd use them before we will.

Sherri

ps...tell E that I'm STILL waiting for my gizzard stew...oh the next clothing exchange is on Jan. 17th...that would work for his dish!

AT GOAL!!

Becky, welcome and so glad to have you on the boards. I sat next to you at the ornament exchange and talked briefly. Gail was on my lap (sorta). We had a really good time with you and E. I am so glad that you are going on this journey with us!

I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Huge hugs,
Tracy

OOPS, I can't give you any trouble I have to remember who I go home with. Seriously I love you and would not be the man I am without you. Together we are on in Christ and hopefully a light to the lost and the needy and all we meet.

God Bless.
Thanks people for your support and encouragement. Know that I can be severe at times but all I say and type is out of love. I want so much for all to use the gift given to them from this surgery to make the world a better place not just this small part of the universe. Reach out to all in love and watch how attitudes change.

Sherri I will send the gizzard soup with Becky at the clothing exchange. That Saturday is the day we men go to Pendleton Correctional Industrial Facility for Prayer and Share with the offenders that have taken part in a Kairos inside weekend.

I love you all and keep you all in my prayers.

Oh my Dear Sister Becky,
How wonderful for you!!!! You never said a word at the Christmas party- stinker! You & E are such a powerhouse team for the Lord in your witness & service. Just think, you will be better physically to do all those things you've wanted to, but haven't tried, or been to afraid of injury to do.
I am just so happy for you and look forward to supporting you, praying for you and getting to know you better. I just love you and will be praying all goes smoothly in the road to good health! You know I am here for you, just pm. me!!!
