Shirelle. Your last name is what caught my eye. Perkins is my maiden name. I read your profile and it sounded exactly like what I am feeling right now. EXACTLY! My surgery date is 11-12-02 My process has been very easy. I too have thoughts about leaving behind my son, husband, and other members of my family. I am so glad I ran across your page, because it has reminded me that GOD is ultimatly the one running the show. Good luck on your journey. Sherri from Alabama

Shirelle did have an uneventful surgery on yesterday at 12:30. She was very sleepy on yesterday but today I spoke with her and shes feeling fine! Shirelle did pass her leak test and she have started walking. I will be printing her surgery page tommorow and taking it to her at the hospital. Please post all your well wishes as soon as possible because this will brighten her day! WELCOME TO THE OTHER SIDE SHIRELLE* LaShonda

Hello I just wanted you to know that I am praying for you. I have surgery the same day also at Memorial City at 2:30 with Dr. Naaman too. I'm just as scared and excited as you are. If I don't run into you at the hospital good luck and God Bless.

Hi Shirelle "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, any one can start from now and make a brand new ending." "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 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.
