Hey Melissa, Praying for a successful surgery and speedy recovery. I live in Winter Haven and work in Lakeland so I am familiar with your University. I had my surgery 8 days ago, and I am doing great! I know that you are nervous, but I am praying that you will have peace of mind and heart. Good Luck! Let me know how you are doing. Mindy

well its been an interesting couple of months. i keep hurting myself :( first i got an UTI and it caused my kidneys to swell which was giving me horrible back pain and right after that went away i fell my knee that i had surgery on 3 years ago and the doc forst thought i was going to have another surgery but i think its getting better i can almost get it straight, and he said if i coud get it straight then i didnt have to have surgery. but anyway im kinda loosing weight slow now. im like stuck at 53 pounds but i think once i can start exercising i should be fine :)
