Hello! I am back!

Well, everyone, I hope this finds all progressing well. I have much to say so I hope ya'll will be patient. I have been gone and am waaaay behind. I am praying for all of you. First, I want to say that I appreciate you more than words can say! It is comforting to know that there are people out there who TRULY understand!!! Thanks for all the well wishes, prayers and advice on my condition. I finally received that iron infusion I so greatly needed. It has made a huge difference. It is a good thing too because right before I got it, my daughter (here in SA) found out she is pregnant. She had an IUD and it was in a position the DR felt it needed to come out. So she was put on bed rest. She saw the Dr, the day I had my infusion. The next day, I went with her to have it removed. (DS-IL was out of town) and helped her with her 3 children (One of which is autistic) The next day, after arranging things with the RS, I left to help my dau in St. Louis, who was having surgery the next day. She has 6 children and a HUGE home. (Hubby being a stinker and moved out!) That was for 11 days. To come home and find dau here is still having a hard time and is extremely ill. Thanking Heavenly Father for the iron infuson and a faithful Priesthood holder and his blessing or I would not be able to handle this. One night I was up till 4 with one grandson (He is in St. Louis and we were on the internet. Dealing with some issues. ( 9 yrs old and doesn't sleep especially with his world rocked lately) I often "Keep him company" at night so his Mom can get a little sleep. Love the internet! Anyway got up at 7 to watch a different grandson. Things like this. DH took me on a back roads trip on Sat for Mothers day and I was in a quiet car for hours! AHHHH I love that man. My prayers are with all of you. I am hoping things will calm down and I will be able to start posting more. I will also try and reply to everyones back posts. I would appreciate any prayers. On top of everything else, the anemia pushed me to gain 30 LBS!!! I really have to get it back off as I NEVER want to be that obese again. I have never lost as much as I should have but still, a size 14/16 is ok at my age, I guess. (54) Better than a 28 sometimes 30!!! Thanks Grins, Kaye Grins, Kaye

Hey a 14/16 is WAY Better than a 28/30!! That is what I think. I flucuate between a 10/12 (mostly 12's these days) and I continually have to remind myself that it is WAY better than a 30/32!! I'm so glad you were able to get the infusion!! Just in time to lead you on a busy few weeks of life!! Thanks for the update!! Love, Gala
