> Donna,

Wow what can I say. God has to know what a strong person you are,I belive he

wouldnt put anything on you that you can't handle. But I am going to say a

prayer and ask him to give you some time off. You sound like such a caring

wonderful person. I am blessed to have met you on here, I think I will learn

alot from the way you see life. Thanks for sharing.

Take Care,

Kristie

through it. Well I had 6 pregnancies, burying 1 child(premature) who lived 2

days before dieing, 2 miscarriages, 1 still birth, and my 2 boys who made it and

my youngest was a 6 month premature(28 weeks gestation) who weighed 1 lb 13 0zs,

had heart surgery, brain bleed, hernias and was on oxygen for 10 months (he's 20

now and healthy wonderful guy). I said okay I'm strong now, I don't want to be

any stronger. Since 1989 I had many different health issues, and my bones would

break easy, I had broke my feet 3 times and the doctors put pieces of my hips in

my feet with screws, and many other surgeries and procedures and my WLS was

number 14, Okay I'm strong enough now. !

> years ago between me and my husband which we come from extra big extended

families, lots some friends, co workers and so many family members the total was

16 people in the period of 5 months. I lost my dad and the preacher from church

I went to when I was younger which my parents still attended on the same day,

that was the 12th and 13th, then there was 3 more. Aunts, uncles, sister,

niece, cousin, grandma, and the list goes on. Okay I'm strong, even though I

didn't think so at that time. I had WLS April 11th,2005 on April 13th my

husband tore his tendent apart in his right arm, surgery was the next week. My

mom the day before my surgery had a lump in her neck, her surgery was 2 weeks

after my husbands and I think every one forgot I had surgery (except a very

special girlfriend, and my stepmom who has cancer back). Okay am I strong enough

yet? Of course not, now all that I talked about. I sure hope God thinks I'm

strong enough now, because I really need a break! I!

is the healthiest I've been in so many years) and enjoy life even in between the

stresses, we never know how long we'll be here. On top of this months events I

also run an in home daycare 6 full time children, help my parents out when they

need me they live in their home still, my mom is 83 years and my dad will be 94

years in dec., and for all of you I still force myself to exercise everyday,

sometimes I miss one day that's my limit. So yes, I guess I'm strong, life has

made me tough just to survive. I'm hear for you too, and even though all this

looks so bad, I know there's people out there who has had it this bad or worse.

Count your blessings for all we are able to do and enjoy life, eat right, drink

your water, and make time to exercise. I love people, children (so much), and

life to the fullest. Smile and yo!

Thanks Kristie, Keep up the good work and a smile on your face. I can't be to hard on people, maybe I'm warm and fuzzy because people just don't realize that WLS isn't the only thing going on for people. We do need to know the straight facts and help one another, but not to be pound down. Take care and keep up the good work. Donnahollotwomn@... wrote: > Donna, Wow what can I say.
