... Ok first babble... I know it's been way to long.. and I know it... Most of you have heard about the ADVENTURE I will call it that unfolded during hurricane Katrina.. (Story is on my profile and I do have a few pictures of what is left if anyone cares to see) Still trying to recover from it Emotionally.. I want to thank everyone for all fo the prayers and well wishes.. IT has helped a great deal.. I haven't had much of a chance to get online this is my brothers computer and they have a teenage daughter need I say more, lol.. WEll I finally got a call from fema today saying they are reviewing my case.. EYEROLL 3 weeks later.. ANYWAY.. Trying to get my life back on track for my kids and my parents.. but its very hard.. Saturday night I spent in the ER room.. I had some very bad chest pains, and natiousness, and I ended up passing out in the bathroom and waking up to my brother putting a cold wash cloth on my face and I broke out in a cold sweat.. FOund otu I have an irregular heart beat and my blood pressure kept dropping and wouldnt stop think they read it at its lowest at 70/30.. Eveytime I would stand up I would pass out.. or even sit up.. ANywhoo they pumped me full of 4 bags of fluids.. so they said I was over stressed and dehydrated... SO I spent about 13 hours in the er room, they were really nice though, and do not deal with Gastric Bypass patients very often so it was a whirl wind of questions... The twins are doing good having nightmares and terrifyied of storms but besides that theya re doing good I have them back in school one of the first things I did, and they are getting counseling every wensday.. They havent once asked for anything knowing they lost everything as well they havent asked for anything whatsoever.. and they had a birthday 10 days after the hurricane hit.. I have been blessed with aweomse kids.. WE also found out that there is a program here that will cover tylers medical expenses 100% Not sure if everyone knows but we recently found out that tyler has lost 40 percent of his hearing and is going to need a 16 hour spinal surgery body cast for a year or maybe more... and this is all going to take place within the next 6 months maybe sooner.. so yes A lot going on here and I think I am going to have an emotional breakdown before its over but hey, lol Its CHARACTER building as Tyler says, lol.. Ok in the midst of all this bad stuff.. Tri Care got off of there hiney adn reffered me to anotehr Plastic surgeon supposedly there is this thing called Blanket something or other and if you were affected by Katrina you can see any doctor as long as they take tricare prime without authorization or something anyway.. I got a call and I have an appointment on Tuesday to see a plastic surgeon in Pensacola.. I am rather nervous but excited as well... IN total since april 20th of last year I have lost a total of 231 pounds.. SO cant wait to get all the excess stuff off.. I am back to starting forrest fires with my thighs again, lol Any way sorry for blabbering to much I think I could talk forever if no one would stop me I want to thank every one from the bottom of my heart for there prayers... and well wishes.. I sure have some angels out there that take care of me.. I think they are working in over time, lol..They mean the absolute world to me HUGS AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFFFFFF Karen

Hi Karen, You and I have never met, but I just read your post and was broken-hearted for you. SUCH a traumatic thing you've been through!!! I am sooooo sorry. I can't begin to imagine living through all that. I hope you take good care of yourself. That heartbeat thing is scary! My gosh!!! You sound like you have some awesome kids. How old are they? Poor babies. Don't worry about the long posts. This is therapy of sorts, isn't it? You just let it all hang out and there'll be tons of people here waiting to listen and pray for you. May God bless you and your family abundantly. Take care, Kelly btw~way to go on the weight loss!!!

I wish I could say that I understand how you are feeling because I have never been through what you are going through but I can pray for you and try to be there for you. Where do you live? May God bless you and your family as you get your life back on track. You hang in there. In His Love, Penni
