Hey Leslie!

I'm up for it. Just let me know when. I am free on Saturday evenings. Will we do what we done last year with the whole Christmas gift exchange?

Brenda so sorry to hear about your husband's passing.   Please call and make a Dr. appt., eat, don't exercise and take your vitamins!   Gotta take care of yourself.

Topic: Prayers for BrendaGold and family
I just went to the Breast Center where Brenda works to have my mammogram on Friday.  I was told she was out on leave.  I posted a note on another message board we frequent asking about her, this reply was made by co worker.
Brenda is the most incredible person I have ever met. I visited her two times in her mother’s home over the last two weeks. One of the hospice nurses said to me. “She is the bravest person I have ever met" Someone else replied: Brenda’s mother passed early Friday morning.

Please remember Brenda in your prayers.

Hi Brenda,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I cannot imagine how you're feeling at the moment. How much weight would you like to gain? If you were 140-150 in your avatar, you look great, very healthy. I think you should add in some carbs to your diet. A lot of times surgeons will tell their patients (in dire situations) to drink with meals, ignore all the rules, etc. First and foremost you need to talk with your surgeon about this. Are you eating enough food, getting in enough calories? Those are also things to think about.

It's nice to see another one from Floyd Co. on here. I live in Prestonsburg, work in Martin.

Nice to meet you, Brenda!

My thought also was to go back to square 1 and start again with liquids. Why don't you post this on the main board-you may get more response :)  Hoping you are feeling better today.

His official death was listed, I think, was congested heart failure.  I think this may have been because of the gurgling and the sounds he made in the end as if he was full of fluid.  I think all this was just a complication from the bad cold he had had for weeks and the fact that he spent so much time in bed.  He was so achey from the flu symptoms and he had also had diabetes since the age of 19.  I have a great support system.  I have 2 daughters that adored him and he has 3 kids that just left yesterday.  I also have 11 brothers and sisters, most who live within a mile of me and have been constantly checking on me, even to the point where I want to scream, "leave me alone"...lol...I know they have the best intentions.  BTW I live in Wheelwright, where do you live?

Yep I am 53 also-my birthday is in July. 
It is totally none of my business but I did look up your sweet husband's obit.
Did he die of a heart attack?
Do you have a good support system as far as friends and your children and such?
I hope that you do, I am sure you are still in shock at this point-I am so sorry and wish I could offer you some sort of comfort.

Thank you for the nice comment. This pic was taken 6-7 months ago at about 145-150 lbs.  And YES the wrinkles do appear more prominent and are even worse now with this extra weight loss. I have extra skin other places, but my face bothers me the most.  At least I can hide the rest of it.  I really liked my body at that weight.  BTW, I am 53, will be 54 in May.
