Cherie,

Are you doing any better? I hope you have turned a corner and are

improving.

Cherie,

Glad to hear you are doing a little better. Eating is just all new once you

have the surgery isn't it. It will get better and it is definitely worth it in

the end. Congrats on fitting into tight clothes that are loose now. It is a

wonderful feeling.

Cherie,

I am hoping that the thyroid medicine does help me to sleep. I have

always had problems sleeping. I am actually on meds to help me sleep at

night to combat headaches that I have always had. Anything that helps

me sleep is a good thing.

I am not really scared as I lay down to sleep and it doesn't keep me

awake for long, but it is just the unknown for me. I am confident in my

surgeon and I am confident in my hospital. It is just the unknown of

being in the hospital. But I know that God will take care of me and I

have people all over TN and beyond praying for me. The more prayer the

better I think.

I also spent my entire labor day doing just that.... laboring. I

cleaned my house from top to bottom. I want to make sure that it is

still clean when I go to the hospital. My husband will have it dirty

too soon anyway after I get out. Luckily I am not obssessed with

cleaning so I can sit there and watch the dust fall and it won't bother

me that much. Now I just have to get my 3rd bedroom cleaned out so that

I can hook my computer at home back up. I want to make sure that I am

able to stay in touch with all of you guys while I am at home.

Thanks for the prayers. Like I said, the more the better.

Dora
