Hi Everyone I just want to give you an update on my health..Most of you know that I have now lost 135 lbs. I am now having hip problems it turns out I need left hip replacement surgery on August 11, well they found out through blood test that I may have an infection in that hip and so on Monday I have to go to Hartford Hospital and have fluid taken out of the left hip to see if there is infection...by the way they take the fluid out by a looooong needle then they will let me know if my surgery date will need to be changed or not... (I just got the call there is no infection and the surgery is still on for Aug 11 I will be in HH until the Friday Aug.14th then I will be going into Woodlake Nursing home for 10 days - 2 weeks for the Rehab....

Good luck with the hip surgery. You will do well and be in my thoughts. Your surgery is the day before my 30th anniversary.

Joanne, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I am glad that there is no infection but take care of yourself while recuperating after your surgery. Do what it takes and then it won't be long before you are home and doing well.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
