Good luck to all thoughs having surgery this week. My prayers are with you!

Happy Birthday, Cyndy!!

I noticed that Froggi began a spreadsheet for the November folks. I started one for the Smashing Pumpkins (October bandsters) if anyone is interested.

Happy early Birthday, Tyme!!!

Happy Birthday to all who has birthdays this month. I am having my surgery this Wednesday October 8th. My birthday will be October 15th. I told them I would love to have this for a birthday present so they made it happen. I am so excited but in another sense confused. I really want this surgery but I worry about all kinds of things. I am very worried that they will start and my liver will be too large. I have been on the high protein diet this week. I always have trouble breathing after surgeries and I kind of panic about that but all and all I am excited and keep praying that I will come through and this will be the beginning of a new kind of living for me. I plan on following this diet! I refuse to be a failure at this. I will be 56 and I want to be happy and healthy for the remainder of time God grants me to have in this lifetime. Good Luck to All and I will keep you in my prayers.
