Just checking in with you ladies. I have not forgotten you, just don't feel like getting on the computer these days. I am improving but it is very slowly. I have to make a trip to Dallas, weekly, and that is 330 miles one way which leaves me exhausted. My incision is a 4"x1.5" open and has to be packed with a dressing change two times a day. That and caring for my colostomy takes up all my energy and time. I do check in occasionally to keep up with you all. Continue to pray for you. Saundra

    Your ears must have been
    Your ears must have been burning! Someone just asked me yesterday if I had heard from you. We were getting a little bit concerned. The mother hen in us....LOL.

    I feel your pain. My incision had to be opened up a month post-op and packed twice a day for weeks. Not fun. I made the trip to WV and back to bury my mother-in-law like that and it took a lot out of me. Please be good to yourself, Saundra.

    Prayers Prayers adn MORE PRAYERS
    Dearest Saundra,

    As always is wonderful to see a post from you, and we totally understand not using the energy to post. My energy is coming back slow also, in fact my platelets are still only up to 59, wbc 2 and hemoglobin staying about 8 and that is with the help of transfusions.

    So rest rest rest and we'll continue to pray pray pray! Hugs ♥ Prayers Bonnie
