Re: Re: - I'm home and made it to the other side!!!

[Guest guest]

, I am so glad that you are feeling so much

better. I am so proud of you. Not only for going

through with your decision dispite what others

thoughts about the surgery was. Also for just

stopping smoking after 19 or 20 years. That is a

major accomplishment.

I am going to enjoy watching your metamorphasis. You

are truly a strong and beautiful person and I am so

grateful and blessed that God placed you in my life.

I still remember when I first started working at

Kaiser and I kept calling you the wrong name and you

were so patient with me helping learn this big

organization. Also for being there for me when my dad

passed. Also for the arguments/disagreements. They

were ALL SO WORTH it because I got to find that you

are a true friend and I will always be thankful to

you for everytime you stepped out there and supported

me even when you did not have to. You got a lot of

heart girl and I have the highest regard and respect

for you. You have been through so very much but yet

you keep pressing forward and I admire you for that.

Strength, by far is just ONE of your great qualities.

Always putting the needs of others before you. Well

hon, its time for KAREN. You know how MC Hammer used

to say " HAMMER TIME " ? Well its KAREN TIME-lol.

I can't wait for you to get back to work (but get your

rest and take the time that you need off) so you,

Robynn and I can continue this journey.

You know that if you EVER, EVER need me, you know

exactly how to find me. I love you dearly and I just

wanted to make absolutely sure that you know this.

You have to remember that we have been here for each

other because when I was going through my process, you

were right there with me and you continue to be and I

appreciate you for that.

Robynn, you are wonderful, caring, and simply

beautiful. I always knew that you were but since the

surgery, I am finally getting to see the real Robynn.

Continue to love yourself and take care of Robynn and

everything else will work its own kinks out.

To the rest of the gang, thanks again for your prayers

and support for me and . Take care.

!!! Yay!!! You're home, that's great. WOw, you did really well with the post-surgery weight gain. You are going to be a skinny girl in no time at all! I sent a number of prayers your way, my friend. Big hugs and kisses out to you. And I would say that you can see my nekked body anytime, but that might sound strange!!! (For clarification, I showed her the sag factor, which isn't so bad.)

I'm so happy your doing better. I had to stay on the clear liquids an extra week, and stage 2 and extra week, so I know where your coming from. I also had so much gas it hurt so bad and the walking really did help, it takes a while for that to all get out of there if your like me and had a lot, and it took forever before I could burp or fart (sorry) so it was very pain full. I hope from here on things run smooth, I've had lots of ups and downs with this, but I would do it over again if I had to. Welcome to the other side. Take care.
