** Thoughtful Thursday roll call **
Hi all - I am back - sort of - and have missed you all! I can't even begin to tell you how loved and supported I have felt by ALL of you! I have been trying to think about how to put into words my feelings over the last few weeks and I am actually speechless - NO NO NO - it is NOT the drugs! 
Being able to express my feelings of inadequacy and vanity at the same time while knowing one will NOT be judged is something that I NEVER knew would happen in this journey. The friendships, relationships and love that I gained over the last 1.5 years is something that I didn't know would happen. I was told today by a friend that good people are surrounded by good people. While I agree with the saying that you get what you give, in all honesty - I often feel that I get A WHOLE LOT MORE than I give. (Must be the Jewish princess in me!
(That emoticon needs a tiara!) My mom was always surrounded by a trillion people (And as a math teacher - I mean a TRILLION) and was always pleased when she needed ANYTHING that there was always someone to turn to. I had always hoped that I could be even part of the kind of woman she was. This week - I have felt her presence in so many ways - and her smile and spirit - (and smart-assness) has moved me to know that she has left a legacy in me that I didn't even know I had. It is all thanks to you who have helped me make this realization.
Thank you again for your love and support for this entire process and I hope that in turn I can give back just a little of what I feel for each and every one of you!
Oh yeah - and today - being that I made this a roll call....I am going to sit at home and recuperate. Seems like a good plan! :) Happy Thursday everyone! :)

Following Steffi around the web this early morning! I too am home recuperating today.... my day will be largely driven by pain meds, naps, Internet, and maybe some tv (recorded some movies form the occasion, and theres always qvc right?)
A little ticked that I have to figure out a banking snafu too.
Surgery went well after a slight delay. I was a patient patient, but started tom get a little anxious about the anesthesia. My wake up at Barix had not been smooth, but yesterday was fine. I kept repeating the "no NSAIDs" mantra, and diluted my apple juice in recovery to take no chances (I never drink juice).
So anyway, its me and my crutches today. They say I can't drive till next week. I'm already plotting how to get around that one!

Yes Lynn, Nicole is one-of-a-kind! She came to see me before my surgery last September. Who visits you and helps calm your nerves at 6 AM before your surgery? Nicole!! I will forever appreciate the time she took out of her hectic day to see me.
You can't measure your achievements with someone else's yardstick!

Hi PA,
I wi**** was easy t take ones own advice. It is so easy to di**** out but not so easy to put it to practice. I have been trying to not let worry take over and I KNOW it does no good to worry. It doesn't change a thing. So, I start out this day, again, with little sleep. Why do I do this to myself. I know better.
Didn't get the job. However, I will be meeting with my OVR counceler next week about getting into a CNA class. However, that doessn't start until the end of September.
Today is work. It is good. I like to be busy. Less time to "think". I hope you all have an awesome day!

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.
Hey Steffi, and PA,
I was up late last night, but I just did not feel like posting the Roll Call. My life has been so boring these days. I am working on a sewing project for my grandson, and have ealerady completed most of a pair of overalls for him..
I am going to try to get my butt and the rest of me to a meeting

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
