It's been a while ...
Hello everyone!
I am sorry it has been forever since I have been able to keep in touch with the site and this forum. My mom died June 5th afer a sudden onset of complications set off by degenerative disc disease/ spinal stenosis. She already had a diagnosis of congestive heart failure, hypertension, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Mom was a long term nurse with 50 years plus experience. She was 74 years old ... until October 2007 mom worked full time at the Veterans Nursing home; she ministered to so many in MY lifetime... to say goodbye has not been an easy task.
She left 9 children... 30 grandchildren... 14 great grands to remember so many precious memories. I praise God for giving her grace to be able to share with each one of us before she went home to be with Him.
She took sudden ill May 16th ... 20 days later she went home...
She was proud of my accomplishment with my weight and knew I was in good health before she left.
I will endeavor to stay in touch...from here on...
I have my 6th month followup appt with Dr. King on the 3lst ... I haven't been on track consistently since mom's illnes but haven't gained any weight either.
I presenlty weigh 199 lbs... (353 lbs on the date of surgery December 6, 2006). I trust I will have a smile on Dr. King's face when he walks in the examining room this month!!
Much in prayers....

A woman's heart should be so hidden in God, that a man has to seek Him in order to find her. 
Wanda, I haven't moved to MS yet but should be there in the next month or two. I just wanted to tell you that I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom sounds like she was a wonderful Godly woman who was a great example to all of her family as well as to anyone else whose life she touched.
You have done so well with your weight loss!! Congrats! This board is kind of slow but maybe it will pick up eventually. I try to check it everyday now that I know we are moving. We are moving to the Wiggins area.
Love,
Shel
