THE JOURNEY CONTINUES...
It's been a week today. So far, so good. My cohort in crime left this morning....it's been a quiet day.....I'm missing her.
Candy and I are so fiercely independent about our space but for some reason, we know how to share space. That doesn't happen with me very often. I know she was ready to get home to her kitties.
I think I've done exceptionally well but have to attribute it to Candy. She has taught me how to get in and out of a car, in and out of bed, clean drains, etc. She has made the rest of this journey until healed bearable.
We were discussing the fact that I had family and friends. I do. Many, but none who would have come, plopped down and stayed the week just to make sure I was okay. I have friends who will now stop by and pick something up if I need it. Candy got me through the worst part.
So, with that my OFF friends, I'll get off of here and go back to my chair.... it's a continuing journey. Just remember..... I'm at the point now if there is anymore weight to lose, I'll have to lose and arm or a leg.

Oh wonderful Janet,
I've been thinking of you alot this week and hoping all was going well for you! Candy is wonderful isn't she?
You sound good, and I hope are feeling as good as you sound. How I would LOVE to do what you did and MORE! Someday, maybe. Take care Red!
Oh by the way, I was at Starbucks here for several hours today, had 2 chai tea latte's and worked on the computer for a while.
This one doesn't get many people coming in and staying! (darn it!)

320 highest, 302 consultation, 289 surgery. Total weight loss:165lbs.
Sounds like you two had a great time, even though you were recuperating. Someday, as Deb said, I may get up the nerve (and the money) to do the plastics, but it will be way into the future ... have two more years in Chap. 13 bankruptcy, then probably have to buy a new car. I'm leery of any more elective surgery after the knee. I just hope they get the knee right after January.
I had my brother up with me the last time, and he was great, but it must be wonderful to have a friend to come over and be able to do things that Candy did for you. I, too, am used to my "space" and when my brother was with me, I was ready to get him out after three days ... then when he left, I was so lonely looking out on the snow drifts. No snow drifts in Texas, though, and you'll be able to get out and drive to Starbucks, so it won't be so bad.

Eileen,
Thank you for the card and the Starbucks goody. It was nice having a fun card in the mail. Candy MADE me go to the mailbox....you know how I am!!
When you get ready to have your plastics, find a teaching hospital. I got the lower body lift for $6,000 and that included the complication insurance. I could never have had the surgery otherwise. That was my only option.

Janet, people are very fortunate indeed to have a special friend in their lives like you do with Candy. Some people leave their prints on on our lives and some leave them on both our lives and our hearts. You are blessed to have such a friend.
I am so glad that you are doing so well. I hope and pray that it continues to get better and better every day for you.
I have to give you credit girl, you did something that I know I would not be able to do. I would love to but I know that I am just not strong enough.
Sending you love and plenty of hugs and lots of prayers for continued healing and the most wonderful and happy life that anyone could have.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
