linda...oh gosh...my hubby is a heart patient and just this week had a stent put in to one of the (bad) arteries that was bypassed in 2003--he had 2 with 98% blockage and 2 with 99% at that time- this time he is now running on 3 cylinders! he had to have cardiac clearance for an operation to correct his abdominal aortic aneurism....so now that will occur in december...

anyhow -long way around to say to you are certainly not "woe is me-ing" !!! i can feel your hurts in your plea and certainly will send my prayers for you - patience is a very hard thing to come by...you have come so far and i believe you will get to your wls...meantime be good to you and stick around here with us!

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Thanks, Margo.  Everyone's kindness here envelopes me like a warm embrace. 

Wow about your husband!  I hope he's doing well now.  Is he going to cardiac rehab?  I am doing my second stint of that now.   They had  a sit down with me last week to convince me to stop trying to rush through it and to let my body heal. I feel wonderful....but evidently, my artery is still healing and I  can't do what I was doing before...for now.

I hope all turns out well for your hubby and you when he has the AAA surgery. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Thank you for your prayers for patience and peace.   I so need both now.   Nothing worse than no peace.

warm regards, Linda

Thanks for the  hugs Judy. I really need them lately.

I'm trying to be everyting to everyone here and work and take care of me too, and it's just not working.   I ask for prayers for peace and patience in this long battle and a health heart too!

I believe God has saved me twice now for a true purpose.  I must learn to be still to hear him.

Think I need superglue for my feet! lol

Thanks again, and I'll be around more.

Linda

Linda,

Glad to see you posting here, you are blessed in that you participate on two of the most supportive boards on OH, from my humble perspective. . .

I am sorry to hear about your latest glitch, but the positive side is that you are on the path towards embracing the changes necessary to have a healthier life. 

If you aren't already doing so, I would suggest once you get out of your rehab, that you participate in support groups to help aid you in your process, if not the support here is absolutely something that helps, but I know there are plenty of groups in the PA region and hope you will, if not already, get involved in them.

Best wishes and prayers, along with positive healing thoughts coming at you!

Laureen

Baby Steps,,,,  Baby Steps,,, 

Some of us fly through our surgery with NO problems.  Others have the frustrating journey of the slow and steady.  The goal is to get through it.  No matter what the time frame you WILL make it. 

Prayers are always sent up for those who ask... and for some who don't.  We do care and want the best for you.  There are some pretty strong shoulders in this group to cry on.

Dear Linda,
Sending you prayers and hugs.
Know that God is at your side right now and a lot of people are praying for you.

WLS can wait, you have to get your health straightened out first. What's another year. Just keep posting and before you know it you will have a surgery date.
