The Big "C"..
Oct 15, 2008
Hello B.A.F Family..I am writing this time to simply calm my nerves...so far so good. I was not going to come on and ask for prayer because I sort of felt un-worthy..with me bieng missing and all. But tonight is the night before and the anticipation is KILLING ME!!
I had been dealing with some severe pain lately...so I started going o a pain management specialist..and needless to say after 4 months I have recieved no relief..so my Dr. then suggest we re-do MRI's to make sure things are not getting worst. Well to both of our suprise they came back with this wierd growth(Abnormal Red Marrow Reconversion)
in my bones..So he pretty much tells me that I am going to have to undergo a Bone Scan that he has already scheduled at a near by Hospital.. I went for the scan and in order for them to get the right film they were looking for they had to inject me with this wonderful cocktail of radiation...so yeah as you can guess.. I have been sick
as a dog and the vomiting
has become soo painful, they assured me that after 3 days I should be feeling better..so now I lay here.. 
waiting...I don't think I will even be able to sleep...Please if you have a moment say a prayer for me..I am Thanking you in advance for prayers..and also thanking you for reading through this Long post..
TOO MOVE,OR NOT TO MOVE....
Aug 06, 2008
,I have been M.I.A for a couple of weeks. I have been here in Newnan Ga. trying to decide if I want to make this place home. I have really enjoyed my stay... this place is soooo peaceful. They have the nicest YMCA that I have ever seen. All the Eqiupment has a dvd-cd player on them so that you can watch or listen to what you want while working out.They also have a card that you scan and it tells you what you should be doing and how many to do...like your own lil personal trainer.
The folks(yeah I said folks) here are just too cute. I am really use to big city life(born and raised in Miami fl) So this has just been a real eye opener I envy what they have here "PEACE"! They really speak when approaching, and with a smile WOW!!
I am so torn...Wish I had a magic Ball with the answers to all lifes real tuff questions...
So would you stay or would you move!
P.S. Have I missed anything juicy?
(Inspire and Dei) And apologize for not bieng in town when you lady's came in Mary told me all about it...Sorry! maybe next time.
Trying to update!!

ANY SUGGESTIONS?
May 06, 2008
Hello, I have been strugling with a decision for a little over 2weeks now...and I am closing in on a dead line. Let me first start by saying Thank you for even taking a moment to read this...I am by law physically disabled. I have been disabled now for four years and it has truly been a challange. I was in two accidents which the first (elevator accident )injurerd my back,and the second (car accident)reinjured my back and both wrist.
I was instantly taken from working 65 hour work weeks as a medical assitant, to the inability to care for myself..but through the grace of God I have been able to maintain and provide for my son..(THANK YOU LORD!)
So when the chance arose for me to have(WLS) surgery I was too happy 
, I could only think of me re-gaining my life...or shall I say lively hood. So I am working with a counsler trying to find something I can get training for that I can do... I have sat up many nights trying to find something that will not be too hard on the hands...that I can do any suggestions?

I AM SIX DAYS AWAY FROM SURGERY,AND I WAS ON A BLOOD PRESSURE PILL THAT ALMOST POST PONED MY SURGERY

WHEN I FINALLY CAME TO MY SENSES AND WENT IN MY PRESSURE WAS 120/79 WHICH IS PRETTY LOW FOR ME AND THAT WAS AFTER NOT TAKING THAT PILL THAT MORNING
