Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 Gobo, That's wonderful! Having an infection *behind* her lungs after WLS has got to be one for the books. It's great they found it and she's feeling better and walking around! I'm sure she's more than ready to break out of that joint! She will be in my prayers and thoughts as she gets her incision closed. I know you'll keep us updated, I don't think anyone could have asked for a better angel!! Thanks Gobo!

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 Hi Anita~ You're so sweet with your kind words! Thanks, ;-) I will forward your message on to her and I know she'll get a kick out of your comment about the " infection behind the lungs being one for the books " . I can hear her laugh even now! She will be eager to read your message and I'm sure it will help to buoy her spirits after the 'final' surgery to close her incision. Thanks for helping her to feel better. hugs, gobo > > > > has inched in the healing direction day-by-day. > > > > > > > > It was ultimately discovered that the infection was BEHIND > > one > > > > of her lungs.
