Chelle...are you there?

Chelle...where are you???? Anyone talk to Chelle? She hasn't been here lately. Just hoping that everything's ok. Diane

Haven't heard from her or our little Nicole!  Makes me sad! 

Ditto.....  Chelle and Nicole!

I DO MISS THEIR ENCOURAGING POSTS.  I HOPE ALL IS WELL.

Come out come out where ever you are................. LisaMarie

Ok I am gonna gripe now: I find it disconcerting when people who are VERY active on the board PRE-OP totally disappear POST-OP! It leaves us to wonder/worry what the issue is. Are they having complications? Are they depressed and isolating? Are they struggling with food issues? I guess what I'm saying is that I think it's VERY important to stay connected here and in "real-life" support groups....ESPECIALLY right after surgery in those Toddler months! Okay...off my soapbox I go! Hugs, Karen

Yes, I am here...no I did not leave you all.  My mom got very sick and was in the hospital with Kidney failure and she was septic.  She pulled through but I was back and forth from my house in Apalachin to Sayre PA everyday for over a week.  Then I got injured on my foot and was on crutches for a few days.  Then after that I cut my arm open and was down for the count then.  Then on top of all that I ripped the sheeth that goes over the tendon in my right hand and have been in therapy for that.  Top that off with 7 kids whom have been sick off and on and are all out of school.  It has been crazy.  So NO I did not leave or stop posting on purpose. Then the dog died and two kittens died and man....it has just been strange crazy here.   I would never abandon my support group and the friends I have made here.  Life happens and being a mom of many kids, a mom who is diabled and sickly...I lose some free time.   Now, I am doing great and feeling MUCH better!  My mom is MUCH better and I am still losing.  69 pounds down! WOW!  I am doing great.  I feel great nad not struggling at all.  I am so ready to keep going pressing to my mark! SHAZAM BABY!
