Well, so far so good....

It's been two weeks since I was released from the hospital and so far so good...

Eating is slowly coming back, but down a total of 97# since this all started in April 22...

 

Just wanted to give a quick update, and wish everyone here a Happy upcoming New Year...

    Holy S**t!

    I've been waiting to hear those words..."on the mend".  This has been one LONG old haul of a healing process!  97# is no drop in a bucket...you must be out and out skinny!  It's about time this got behind you....onward and upward.....bring on 2015!

    Didn't anyone ever tell you, that's what Ensure Plus is forInnocent 97 pounds is a huge loss but it sounds as if things are finally turning around for you. You and Shelley remain in my prayers.

    John,

    Did you say you are wearing Phrannie’s clothes?

    No matter, feel better.

    Thanks for the update John

    Glad it seems to be better and healing. A loss of 97# sure is a lot so I hope you can slowly get some back on. When I went fron 152# down to 126# all of a sudden I had a six pack abs. Well, it looked like I had abs again. Glad you can eat again so take care and rest up for fishing soon.
