I am home from surgery and doing just fine. A little discomfort but mostly in my back and neck.  Those good old comfy hospital beds. lol...
 
I just wanted to tell everyone thanks for all the encouragement you have been to me and all the prayers that have gone out. I really appreciate it more than you will know.

I will truly enjoy this Thanksgiving.. What a list of things to be thankful for.  The heck with the Turkey, that is not improtant.. I am having broth and jello..yum yum.. but oh oh so Thankful..
God Bless everyone and enjoy your holidays with your family .. if you are alone enjoy you time to think of all you have to be thankful for.. and you always have a family here on OH..

Welcome back, Teresa. Enjoy the liquids and think about all those pounds melting off your body. I hear there are BONES under there, but you I haven't uncovered them yet myself.

Hope you rest well.

I am doing good and resting well thanks.. I get up and walk and pass gas..lol....  then I go check the computer and then back to the chair.. My hubby is taking real good care of me..

The lbs have already started coming off.. I weighed 236 the day of surgery.. I was at 231 yesterday morning and this morning at 229..  maybe I'll find some bones not too long from now.. lol..

Hey Teresa was glad to hear your surgery went well and now you are already back home with your family.  I had a great Thanksgiving today myself and I hardly ate a thing, who knew?  You actually dont have to stuff yourself silly just because it is Thanksgiving!  I actually have been enjoying how I feel today at the end of Turkey Day as oppossed to all those years previously when I would feel so stuffed and blah the rest of the day.  What a difference. 

Friends are the family we choose for ourselves.
