Hey People!!

Hi Girls..long time no post.. I have been so busy living my life I rarely if ever get online.... I still think of you all often..just don't sit down and type it enough.. **Lynn - How are you doing? I hope things are going well for you! **Shelley - Just posted to you a few minutes ago... but didn't wanna leave you out! **Sheri - I saw you were at 35 pounds..congratulations! **Lesa - Woohooooo time is flying by..you will soon be on your way.. *Hey everyone take a minute to go to Kathy Waldrop and Lesa Wolmans surgery support pages and send them a pre-op good wish they are both having surgery in a few short weeks. **Kathy - How is Mike? AND... how are you holding up? I am sorry for not being here more for you guys lately.. it has been one thing and then another... We have a little man that stays here with us and he wandered off last week and was missing for two days and a night.. it was freezing and dangerous for him to be out like that..that kept us busy till we found him.. then after being home 2 days he tripped over one of the dogs and broke his hand ...now I am waiting on him as well as doing all the things he usually helps me with..good thing I am a hundred pounds lighter cuz the old me would have not been able to do all the things I am having to do right now. Today is my 4 month anniversary and I am officially down 98 pounds. Close enough to a hundred I had only dreamed I may loose 100 pounds by the end of the year... If I had just left those Christmas cookies alone who knows where I'd be As always I am here for you guys if you need me just call!

Woo hoo 98!!!!!!!!!!! You go girl!! You are my hero! I am hanging in there, can't imagine myself losing 98 pounds, but I'm sure gonna try!!! It's been a good couple of weeks. I can't really complain. I have been feeling better and better every day. I have only had problems with my ncjj (Flanagan insists on it for 6 weeks OY!) leaking bowel fluids (smells yummy...ick!!) and some rashy skin from tape, etc. Also, two words of advice to pre-ops beyond what you already hear from everyone else is "stool softener" (ENOUGH SAID!!) My mom came on Friday (the day I came home) and has been so much of a help. She really understands and sympathizes with me. She has been taking care of Kortney (almost 10 month old!) probably better than I do (she really loves being a grandma!) and always has time to play with Kiley (3 year old). She is so sweet and always reminds me to go take a nap or have I had enough to drink, eat, etc...I am very fortunate. I wonder what I will do when she leaves as her departure is quickly approaching. I don't want to think that far yet! (DENIAL!!) CJ don't ever apologize for not being here. We all lead busy lives. Just don't you ever disappear for long, ok?! I too had about a week off. My computer was acting up, a simple call to the tech people solved it (should have done it sooner!!) OH, and by the way, my balloon just barely started lilting...hehe...and you were worried about it! Kiley especially loved it! Did I mention what a sweetie you are?! Oh well, guess I'll go for now. Take care, ~Lynn
