catch-up

[Guest guest]

Hi Sweet People...I've been trying to keep up my reading of posts, but

it's difficult these days. There is a lot going on.

I would sure appreciate prayers for my eldest daughter, Christena, and

her children...they are going through a very difficult time.

I'm just 2 weeks from my bariatric surgery, and getting my ducks in a

row regarding that. I go in at 6:45am on April 14, get a thoracic

catheter and epidural, then am the 2nd surgery of the day at around

noon. I'll be in ICU the first night, then in the bariatric department

for 4-5 days. I've been faithfully attending the support groups...I

know there will be rough spots...one thing that does cause me a little

concern is learning to find healthy ways to calm myself when I have

used food as a medicine so-to-speak for so long. The support groups

deal with all manner of things related to obesity and healing from it,

so I am grateful for them.

Tonight is my last Humira until probably the first part of May. The

weekly shots have helped so much...I pray I don't go into a flare.

I've been thinking of a...is she all moved now? How is she doing?

Please give her my love.

I love you all dearly. Thank you for keeping me & mine in your prayers.

Hugs & more hugs....

Tess
