Just a quick line to let you know I'm thinking of you.

So glad to hear you're doing well. My weight loss has been phenomenal!! Down to 151 from 225, which pleases me greatly. Think I'd like to lose another 15 or so. My life is wonderful. Doing Hospice work now, which has always been my dream. Personal life rocks (husband REALLY likes the slimmer me). I have no complaints, whatsoever. Please stay in touch. I really got to care about you and Lulu.

Heard a rumor from a Lulu bird that CONGRATULATIONS are in order!!!! So happy for you.

Haven't heard from you for a while, so thought I'd check in. Hope all is going beautifully and you're happy as ever.

Hi Penny. I am home and doing so much better! I am so relieved to hear that you are doing ok. I was so worried about you! I am bummed we didn't get to chat much either. Maybe we can all meet for a girls trip in Vegas in a few months or something! I hope all is well. Stay in touch. I am going to PM you my local number. I gave you my global phone number that I only use when I am traveling out of the country. Miss you guys already!

Lindsey and Diana,

I am now doing great!

Diana, yes, I bounced back quickly considering I thought I was one foot in the grave after surgery and then hopped on a plane by myself just 4 days later to fly across the county. lol. ... quite the contrast! Recovery can be exponential, thankfully. I have no pain, no nausea and feel good and back to normal. My only complaint is heartburn which is tolerable. I am taking Prilosec and drinking antacid from the bottle.

Thank you again for your kindness, compassion and help. Please tell your mother thank you too.

Lindsey,
I wish we had gotten to know one another better. Our medical condition just didn't allow it! Are you home? Felling good?

Just wanted to check in and see how you're doing. I was so impressed with how quickly you bounced back. Hope all is picture perfect in your world, your pain is controlled and your smile is beautiful, as always.

Blessings

Penny. I hope you are doing ok. I heard you had some complications. I grabbed my iPad out of your bag this morning. Hope today is a better day. See you at the hotel.

I am here at the San Diego airport. Next to baggage claim 8. I tried sitting outside but it is so hot! Haha. How was your flight? See you soon!

I just boarded my plane from Atlanta. A 5 hour flight to San Diego but this is so with it.

Interesting they bumped her surgery to tonight. Lulu, if you want the same and are willing then I suggest you not drink anything today. It is important for any surgical procedure when undergoing anesthesia.

I was hoping to catch a nap on the plane but I'm too excited. See you soon!!

Penny

I am getting very excited!! Heather (ksgirl) had her surgery moved up to tonight! I am hoping they offer the same thing to us. I would rather do it sooner than later.

I think you'll be on the shuttle with Lulu and myself. PARTY VAN!!!. Packed, ready to go and can't wait to meet you tomorrow.

Looks like several of us will be there that day. What time does your plane arrive? Mine is about 11:40 am, so I am scheduled on the noon shuttle. 4 or 5 of us will be there the same timeframe and are chatting back and forth now, so welcome to the party wagon!!!

I think my return flight is around 3:30pm.
