James Foote, M.D. Dr. Foote is a very caring person. He made sure I knew the ins and outs of the surgery. He made me feel very comfortable with my decision.

Wow, it's been a while I'm all settled in my house and work. Everytime I think about working on my profile, I put it off because we're always doing something around the house. Right now, we're working on making new kitchen cabinet doors. I kind of did things backward. I put new granite tile countertops in and now I don't like the cabinets. Since I really can't change the cabinets out because I like the tile, we're making new doors. It's really nice to be able to do some woodworking again. Larry hasn't done any since he died on me in 2000. He just hasn't had the "vision" of what he can do anymore but I have the vision and he supplies the know how. It's funny how his brain can recall how to do things but he doesn't trust himself to work around the saws by himself and I'm glad of that. It's fun working together even if we do only get 2 doors done in a weekend. We have the rest of our lives together to get them done.
I now belong to the West Valley support group. I'm co-leader and it's good to be back where I belong. I missed my old group in Big Rapids but I know they're getting along fine without me. I'm so proud of Vicky and what she's accomplished!
My next challenge comes in July when I go back to Marietta, OH for my 40th high school reunion. I don't have fond memories of my school years. Being the largest in my class (and several others) made for a very miserable life. I thought long and hard about going back but now I have something to be proud of and that no one can take away from me. I may not be stick thin but I am at a place where I am very comfortable and proud of myself and what I accomplished to get here and if they haven't changed from back then, well, that's their problem and a much larger one that I can ever comprehend. Besides that, I'll be seeing Larry's family and my brother and hopefully my nephew and his wife will bring the new baby so I can get a glimpse of Isaac Eli born last week.
I'll try to update this more regularly than I have and I still have to get a better picture posted.
