Re: Update on me - and Happy New Year!

[Guest guest]

Hi and Happy New Year to Sandy and everyone!

I have been a member of our group for over a year and banded about two years. I

had to write you to thank Sandy for her committment to the group and for being

here for us. Although I do not contribute openly, I get so much out of the daily

postings and all the info you have put in the files. It sounds like Sandy had a

rough year and I can relate having similar situations with my family dynamics. I

commend her for taking charge and helping her mom. It is wonderful that Sandy

was able to turn her mom's life around. I am happy that now she is going to take

care of yourself and that is so important.

I too have forgotten some of the band rules and lost good habits falling off

the " band wagon " . I have gained about 25lbs of the 119 I had lost and trying to

get back. I know I can't handle anymore fill so it is all up to my head and

control now. I will start contibuting here more and would love some support,

either sent to me privately or as a group responce. Thanks! HAPPY AND HEALTHY

NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!!!

I would like to thank Sandy also for being able to keep this support group going

despite such a hard year. I've had a challenging few months myself. I was hit by

a car in late October while riding my bicyle. I have a fractured tibia and had

to be laid up for 2 months. I am single with no family and had to rely on a

handful of friends to help me as much as they could. I can barely walk but with

the help of access a ride I am back at work. I have a desk job so I am able to

return to work.

When I got out of the hospital I had to go to a nursing home/rehab. I witnessed

first hand the pain caregivers like Sandy go through with their elderly parents.
