Approved Thank God

I have been reading this message board for many months. I am not use to emailing peoples very much,but i have been keeping up with everyone and keeping you all in my prayers. I started in Sept. and today I got my surgery date for March 4,2005. I will be going to Dr Spier in Springfield. I went into the hospital on Feb 14 22 years ago to have my stomach stapeled and today twenty two years later on the same date I find out I am getting another change. Alot has happened to me in the last 22 years an i know without a doult that I need this surgery. My daughter had the surgery two years ago an she had previously been thru chem twice the dr didnt think she would ever get pregnant. But she is now three months pregnant. Please keep me in all your prayers. Thanks, Aurelia

Congratulations!!!! I am having mine done the 25th in Dayton. Both my sister and I are having it done the same day. Tomorrow we go there for pre-admission testing. The closer it gets to the 25th the more scared I become. Also I found out today that my employer may not be able to keep my same position since I haven't worked for them a whole year just 7 months. Now that I will be leaner and more healthy I may not have the position I love when I return to work. Initially I put in for 2 weeks off work, but was told Friday that the surgeon recommends 6-8 weeks off. Boy, am I nervous about that portion. But Lord knows I need this surgery and to be healthy. So I know he will work things out in my favor.

I will be thinking about you and your sister on the 25th. Hey the lords knows our needs. I knows its easy to say dont worry about your job, but you do know that he will take care of you an he knows we need to work to take care of our self. I work at childrens in columbus an they are very good to me. It took me many years to find this wonderful job. Hope you have a good day. Aurelia
