Hi everyone, I would like to finally announce I am home and pain free. Do you

know how good that feels to say out loud.

Dear :

Yes, I know how good that is to say that out loud. LOLOLOLOL, I am shouting

for joy. Isn't it wonderful to be home and pain free with a new life ahead of

you. Don't you feel reborn? I know that you like me feel the feelings we

feel and not many people can understand those feelings. I wish they could.

Isn't it a miracle? I am so, so happy for you dear . I am grinning from

ear to ear. Bless your heart you brave girl. I know that Annette and Steve

are also on cloud nine.

it is over and you did so great. I too was so surprised to hear how

many islets Dr. Sutherland was able to retrieve. That is wonderful. When I

was operated on patients weren't sent home on insulin. I wish they had done

that then in 2000. I am mild diabetic and I think that if I had been sent home

on insulin I might have had a better chance for not being diabetic.

I know you probably get advice from many people BUT here goes. Get lots of

rest. Eat small meals and plan on recovering slowly and before you know it you

will be eating full meals. It creeps up on you and in no time you will find

yourself eating all that you want.

Keep me posted on your progress. I want to be a part of your life. I feel

you are my child or grand child. I love you and I am so happy for you. I am

overjoyed. Have fun in your new life. Love, Shirley
