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.

Bernadine! It was also great to meet you at BTC in Belvidere today! I'm really happy to put a face with the user. I wish you the best. Since we will be in at the same time with the same surgeon, we should coordinate our walks on the unit! I'll race ya!!! Looking forward to seeing you again on the other side!

Hi Bernadine - good luck with your upcoming surgery. You are going to the best place - they are terrific! I had my surgery 9/22/00 - lost 95# and my diabetes, poor circulation, bad knees, etc. The list went on and on. Just can't say enough about how great I feel now. I have the support group in Niles so if I can be of any help, don't hesitate to let me know. We have a meeting next Wednesday so if you have any questions that we can help you with, let me know.

Hi Bernadine "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 "Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth." ~ Katherine Mansfield "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 "Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives." ~ Author Unknown "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.

Bernadine! We are going under the knife the same day and have the same surgeon, Dr. Vaughn! I am excited too. When do you go for your Pre-op visit? Mine is the 18th. Maybe I'll see you then too! Congrats!
