Wishing you a speedy recovery. Keep smiling and know you are on the losing side, now. When you get a case of the lonelies and you think nobody's there, to love, support and listen... or show they even care... Just reach into your thoughts and pull out this little note. (Nothing could be easier when life seems really hard!) And every time you reach out, it will help remind you... A Very Special Support Group, larger than any around, is always there with you. I can't wait for my turn to be a Loser! God guide and Bless you, always and in all ways. ML from Ohio

Good luck on your coming surgery. My prayers are with you, and hoping for an uneventful surgery, and a speedy, painfree recovery. Keep your focus on healing. Make sure you walk, and keep up your breathing exercise. YOU CAN DO THIS! See you on the other side.

Hi Bertia "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, any one can start from now and make a brand new ending." "I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning." ~ J.B. Priestly "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." ~ Julia Cameron "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. That block of granite is often nothing more than a decision." ~ Thomas Carlyle "Being yourself is not remaining what you were, or being satisfied with what you are. It is the point of departure." ~ Sydney Harris "I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people - determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself." ~ Carolyn Warner "It's never too late to be what you might have been." ~ George Eliot "For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it." ~ Author Unknown May you always have an Angel by your side. Watching out for you in all the things you do. Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days. Have a safe journey to the other side and a speedy recovery Angela in Canada Post-op 432 BMI 67.7 -47lbs Dr Michael Grace Open RNY Life began May 16, 2002 I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears.

On the day that so many lost their lives, our new lives will just be beginning. I am also scheduled for surgery on September 11th. I feel blessed to be scheduled on that day. A day which is no longer remembered with joy will now be, for us, a day which will have happy memories. Congratulations and Good Luck!
