Hey all...how's everyone doing in the wonderful cold and yucky weather? Was super glad to have Abbie at the meeting last night. Wonderful information and love when everyone gets to talk.

Hope you all are staying warm and getting your Protein and Water in.

I'm so glad to hear you ladies are doing good. I love that we are all at different stages so we could get different views on our journeys. Stay warm all.

I need to ask for prayers if you don't mind. Not surgery related... my older sister has had leukemia for 8 years, she was in remission for a long time...but last year her cancer was active again. She's gone through so much. She has 2 sons ages 13 and 8. My mom and younger sister are taking care of them. Recently she has gone through a muscle deterioration that has caused the hospital to place her in a nursing home permanently. After numerous attempts at physical therapy, they said she has no hope for recovery. She's not even able to feed herself at this point. I'm so scared she's just going to give up. My mom is going to raise her kids. My nephews have been through so much with this. I'm going down there to Missouri for a week to help the family pack up my sisters house, and moms house to get them moved to a place that can be big enough for the boys and mom and my younger sister. Please pray for my sisters recovery. I'm not convinced this is it for her. I believe in my heart she doesn't want to leave her babies. She's only 44. There just has to be more. I'm worried about making this trip in bad road conditions, but I also don't want to miss spending time with her.

On a good note I get to meet my new grandson and see my granddaughter. Yay me.

Sending healing prayers for your sister. Drive safe Mindi

I went to the Dr today and they told me I was losing weight to fast. Maria said I was losing weight like a 500lb patient would. So they added 1%milk and unsweetened apple sauce.

Damn cancer

Holy smokes Pam. Adding the milk to Protein and having the applesauce will slow you down some. That's a good thing. But congrats on the weight loss. You better keep bundled up so you don't turn into a popsicle.
