I'M FINALLY MEDICALLY RELEASED, THANK YOU, GOD!

YES MA'AM, MS BARBARA ... AS YOU KNOW SO WELL ... AREN'T WE BOTH ... YOU & I ... APPRECIATING THE SUNSHINE, FINALLY!!!!! IT'S BEEN A LONG HAUL TO GET TO THIS POINT, BUT WHEN YOU FINALLY GET TO A STEP OF SUCCESS, TAKE A BREATH & LOOK AROUND ... ALL YOU CAN DO IS BE IN AWE & THANKFUL TO GOD (&, OUR WONDERFUL DOCTORS) FOR THE IMPROVEMENT! I WEAR A HEART RATE MONITOR, SO I WON'T BE OVERDOING IT EXERCISING. I'VE BEEN SEDENTARY FOR SO LONG THAT THE LAST THING I WANT IS TO OVERSTRESS MY HEART & CAUSE MYSELF A PROBLEM! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR MEDICAL RELEASE !!! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU & YOUR HUBBY. JUST READING YOUR POSTS GIVE ME HOPE & ENCOURAGEMENT EVERY DAY. I'M SURE YOU'VE BEEN A BLESSING TO EVERYONE *****ADS YOUR POSTS. SMILES & SUNSHINE, SUUZ

THANK YOU, MS SUUZ ... THOSE ARE VERY KIND WORDS & I DO APPRECIATE THEM. I FEEL THAT WE ARE A "FAMILY" HERE ON THE BOARD & THERE IS A "SISTERHOOD" (YES, ALSO A "BROTHERHOOD", MR SOLAR & MR DAVID! ) IN THAT WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE OTHER IS GOING THROUGH BECAUSE WE'VE ALL BEEN "THERE" AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER ... SO, IT BRINGS ME SUCH PLEASURE WHEN I'M ABLE TO ENCOURAGE SOMEONE OR OFFER A BIT OF KNOWLEDGE THAT MAY MAKE SOMEONE'S LIFE A LITTLE EASIER. WE HAVE AWESOME PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

That is wonderful news!! I am so glad you are getting better! You look great too!! The Lord gives and He takes away, I am so glad He is in a giving mode this year!! Love you!! Deb

YES MA'AM, AS YOU KNOW ... I'M PRAYING THE THIS IS A GOOD YEAR FOR NICK & I ... & MY FAMILY ... IT'S BEEN TOUGH THESE LAST YEARS SO NOW THE GOOD TIMES ARE ARRIVING! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

Dawn, Glad to hear that you are doing better!!! I hope to see you and Nick on Thursday. Britt

THANKS MS BRITTY ... I'M A ROCKIN' & ROLLIN' NOW, GIRL! WE'LL BE AT CHERYL'S ... MISS HER SO IT WILL BE WONDERFUL TO SEE HER AGAIN! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK PS: HOPE YOU'RE FEELING BETTER AS WELL! NOTHIN' SERIOUS, WE PRAY!

Dear Dawn...so glad to know that you are doing so well...we know what prayer can do, don't we "Sister"? It has been a priveledge to follow your progress...and a blessing to lift you up in prayer and see those prayers answered...you and all the others on this forum are truly inspiring...and the most caring bunch of folks I've ever come across...thank you so much for sharing and for helping so many of us to know we are NOT alone on this journey. I'm excited for you and all who are embarking on this new journey...and can't wait to share in your success...continued good health and Blessings overflowing. A big hug to you and Nick, Tonya

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MS TONYA ... AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THERE'S NOTHING MORE POWERFUL THAN PRAYER! IT'S BEEN NICK'S & MY LIFELINE SINCE WE GOT TOGETHER & DECIDED THAT WE HAD TO HAVE A STRONG SPIRITUAL LIFE TOGETHER. I THINK THIS IS ABOUT THE BEST BOARD I'VE BEEN ON ... EVERYONE CARES & THEY ALL WORK SO DILIGENTLY & FAITHFULLY ON THE WLS JOURNEY. WE MAY NOT BE THE BUSIEST BOARD, BUT THE QUALITY OF PEOPLE HERE IS TOP DRAWER! YOU'LL BE SHARING YOUR NEW LIFE SUCCESSES WITH US IN NO TIME! &, ALTHOUGH IT'S EXCITING TO WATCH OTHERS, JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE THE ONE "DOING" ... YOU BEGIN TO APPRECIATE YOURSELF IN A WHOLE NEW WAY! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK
