I've broken 2 wheely chairs at work that have small wheels on the end of them; I guess when I rolled around I put too much weight on the left front leg and they broke off. The janitors asked why I kept breaking chairs and I had to hide my embarrassment. One of my students also said, "My mom says you're fat!!!" and I just smiled and said, "Well, that doesn't mean I can't teach you, does it?" Whenever I would say something about my fluffiness, my kids would say you're not fat, we love you the way you are. Some kids are sweet, some are mean....when I go back to school in a month, I will be down quite a bit so I'm anxious to see what kind of comments I get then!

Hi Ladies!
I thought our group needed our own avatar. So I made this one for us. It won't let me add it, so EileenFrances will have to upload it for the group. If you all like it, that is! Making avatars and siggies is kind of a hobby of mine.

This is a prayer that my friend sent to me the night before I had my surgery. She made me promise her that I would say it the day of surgery. I actually was so caught up in everything that I didn't but I did say it the night before and my own personal one right before the surgery. I just wanted to share it in case there's anyone who needs some comfort. Have a nice day. And good luck to everyone who has their surgery today. ????
Dear God:
Let your hand of loving calm be upon me, bringing rest and peace into my mind and body. Bring to my remembrance the skills of my physcian and his attendants, who have been prepared through the years by the gift of your Spirit.
Help me to recall the history of your grace in my life -- all the trials and dangers, both seen and unseen, from which you have been my Rescuer through the years.
Enable me to know you now. for you have been trustworthy in all your doings. Take away all anxiety from me and those who love me, and let us enter this experience with a sense of adventure, to learn from it how to be more obedient servants.
Through Him who trusted You in everything, even Jesus Christ my Lord.
Amen

Well I made it through! My doc said my liver looked great...I was a good patient and I was doing well! Only had an odd feeling once and that is when the nurse took out the jp drain...it felt like a worm crawling across my belly! Once it was out I could get a good breath. Have been trying to sip every 15 minutes and boy; is that hard! They are not pushing me too much on the Protein just yet...have to stay on a full liquid diet for 4 weeks. My medic alert Bracelet was waiting for me when I got home and it's on.
Good luck to those going next; you will do great!!!

Hey all...just wanted to ask for some good karma/prayers/thoughts. My surgeon is waiting on some blood work from me that might indicate clotting risks after surgery and it may or may not delay my surgery. I've already been bumped a week into July and if I can't have my surgery, I will just cry! I've waited a year for this! Please send me some strong thoughts to make it through the time needed for the results to come back to the surgeon and that he allows my surgery.

What about being fatigued and worn out just from the pre-op diet? I can barely pull my underwear up! I know I need to walk some more but I literally am bone tired...any help?

I am about to eat my computer! I can have 6 "supplements" a day (protein bars, Protein chips, soup) and nothing else....but I'm so hungry! Somebody talk to me so I won't eat everything in sight! I'm disappointed in myself; it's only the first day and I have to do this for 2 weeks!

So sorry about ur mom. U have lots of people here praying for u and will b here if u need us!

As someone who has lost her mom (passed in 2004) she is and will always be with you, you are never alone....when you think of her, know that she is right there with you....she has the best seat now to watch you live a healthy and happy life!
Wishing you a speedy recovery, and happiness on the "loser's bench"
you will do well....

I sure could use a good luck charm mom; my mom was going to go this journey with me but she passed away suddenly in March. Now I feel like I'm going this road alone....I could use some words of encouragement! My sleeve is July 3rd.
