Hi Karen. You are not alone. I too see the regulars post thank you's to the same people everytime. I am one of the ones who post to all surgery support pages when they come up. I try my best to support everyone. I also understand the financial problems too. I think most of us are in that position now. Please try and smile. It will be better tomorrow. God Bless

Hi Karen, I am so sorry about your home situation, and I can see how you would be depressed. Maybe you can get back on the meds temporarily until some of your stressors are resolved. I will be praying that things work out for you and Joe. I want to thank you for the "pat on the back". I started posting to surgery pages as a way to "Pay It Forward" and you and Nadine and Cathy Whitmer and Karen Mangham and Justin Glynn, and some others, who post religiously, were my inspirations. I also started volunteering with Member Services. I am not asking for recognition, I do all this because I don't work and it keeps me off the streets!! lol The emails and the thanks I get from all the folks I talk to are all the thanks I need but it feels so good to be recognized by your peers! Thanks again Sweetie, I will be praying for both you and Joe. BIGGHUGGZZZZ

Karen, My heart hurst for your problems. I have been there. My husband and I lost our jobs pretty much at the same time and I also had a 5 way bypass open heart surgery so I now a little about depression. But prayer does work and the love of family and friends will pull you through. Just ask and we will be there. We found that it was all a learning experience and brought us closer together. Oh.. also we had to file bankrupcy.. and we came through it. Thank you lord. Really sweetie.... Big hugs to you.. Hugs Carol

Hi Karen, Congratulations on your weight loss!!!! You will get there. I'm so glad you have such wonderful support from your DH. I sure understand your comment about people that only work 1/2 day or not at all - they have more time to work out. The one time I lost weight by dieting I was putting 70-80 miles a day on exercise bike AND 1-2 hrs a night racquetball!! I work full time now - no way can I do that much no matter how important this is to me! Maybe I could bring my bike to work and pedal while I'm at the computer LOL! Anyway, thanks for the encouraging words. Will keep everyone posted. Rena
