Hello to all my new friends here at AMOS. I made it home yesterday and I'm starting to feel much better from the gas pain that I had in the hospital. I wanted to make a special thank you to my angel Patti Lewis for coming to see me in the hospital and for her gift of the beautiful smelling Lotion and soap. I also wanted to give a huge thanks to all of those who emailed me there wonderful prayers and those who posted them on my surgery page. The power of prayer is AWESOME! Just after my surgery was over the nurse in the OR was amazed at how alert I was and how I just moved my self to my bed from the OR table. Of course, I can barely remember it, but I do remember the whole way to my room she and the guy who was helping her push me saying that I was the best patient they've seen. The guy kept calling me "the chosen one!" which I thought was kind of funny. He said it over and over and then once again when we got to my room which ended up being a private room. I thought I was going to have to share a room because I heard that you have to pay extra for a private room and I didn't have the extra money. I told them that I had nothing to do with everything going so well, it was just answered prayers and my Heavenly Father coming through once again. The nurse said it had to be some inner strength too, but all I could remember thinking was "That IS my inner strength!" My husband told me that Dr Wongsa said that things couldn't have gone better and he couln't have asked for a smoother procedure. I know this is long, but I think it is important for everyone to know how much their prayers DO help. I am trully blessed to have found this web site before having this surgery and I send a HUGE HUG to all of those who took the time to pray for me and stand on THE WORD that everything would go ok. I am ever so greatful and will keep everyone posted on my progress. Best wishes and prayers to all of those waiting for approval and to those who will be having surgery soon. God Bless!
