Hi and thank you
I have thought about writting a few times and when I do I cry.... this whole thing has been so overly emotional and physically draining..... I dont remember a time I was this afraid.
The first thing I wanted to say is thank you so so much for the prayers and cards. I am humbled by the love and support I got during this. This group of people is a powerful source of support and help, ask me I know.
I know you all know what happened..... my lowest point was Saturday. I was losing at a fast pace ( 110 ) and ketosis were kicked in.... I couldnt move barely and was vomiting.
I didnt know what was to happen.... or what would happen to me.
By the time my Mom got here I just laid in her lap and sobbed....
Fast forward to today and Im "better" Im not anywhere near myself but eating is coming easier and Im trying to overcome my anxiety with this feeding tube in me. Five cans of nutrition a day pretty much leaves me attached to it alot. My wonderful husband and daughters have helped me so much. My Husband lets me cry... forces me to walk and puts up a nice chair outside just to get me out in the sunshine.
Im so blessed to have my parents, kids and family and friends, especially Barb and Amy and Granny and Melissa and Nichole. Amy I know youd do just about anything for me.... ( and you did :) you are my angel and Barb for being there with Brian during my surgery and running things to me that I needed. You are truly an angel as well. Granny .... stop kicking yourself for not being there physically for me. You were in spirit and you mean with world to me. Melissa... my unseen angel who found me via our boards and had a similiar thing happen... your emails really really helped me feel not so alone.
Nichole.... how can I meet someone twice and just adore them? Your words of encouragment have meant the world. Thank you.
My Mom? No words... other than I love you.
If I forgot anyone forgive me.... three surgeries in three weeks fogs the brain.
So, Im peaking my head out of my shell a little..... my weight is still at 110 but Im sure it will be going up soon doing almost 2000 calories a day now.
As much as I dislike my feeding tube into my old stomach...... thank God I had that option,
So thank you.... keep the prayers coming please....
Thank you thank you thank you.
I miss you all.... and when Im strong again Ill show up.
Love to you all

Linda, I think it's safe to say you SKEERED us!!! You do whatever it takes to get your weight back UP to a healthier place...
As for me, the prayers will continue as long as you need 'em! You are just too sweet to be in such a not-nice place.
Sending you love and prayers for healing

Glad to hear that you're on the mend. Healing vibes to you!
Linda- I just sent a card out to you today. You'll be getting it in a couple of days. I have been so worried about you. If there is ANYTHING I can do for you let me know. I wish I hadn't been dealing with my own stuff, that I could have been there for you from the start. I'm so very sorry you are going through this. YOu will continue to be in my prayers. I know God is listening.... as you are starting to get better.
Love ya!
