Fancylady Big hugs!!

Hi sweetie. I've thought about you so often over the summer. I worried about you and your husband. I don't know with all you've had go on if you remember who I am... I live in southern Indiana if that rings a bell.

I am so sorry about the passing of your husband. I know that you have had such a difficult time. I prayed for you both many times.

When the board crashed I was devastated for you. I thought how can she not have the support of the board right now. What awful timing.

Well I just wanted you to know that even though you didn't know it... you did touch my heart and love and good wishes are being sent your way.

I wish I'd been able to have been there for you when you needed us. Take care and I"m so glad we are back on board.

Love , Kathy

Oh Fancy! I'm so sorry, I hadn't heard about your husband. I can't begin to imagine how hard it's been for you this year. Please know you are in my prayers.

It is so good to once again hear from you gal's. I haven't forgot any of you &
I never will. When the board went down, I felt I had lost my best friend. Luckly, I had a few E-mail home addresses, so I did have a few that supported me & I slowly built a line of friends that I had someone to talk to. If it wasn't for that I don't know what I would have done. The family support wasn't a good one, like I would have thought it should been. I have never been invited to there houses nor did they help with Thanks you notes. I done all these myself. i couldn't sit down and talk to anyone in his famiily & it's still going on, to some extent. Isn't that a shame, the one time I would of like to had someone around they, had long since went there separted ways into their own familites. I have alway felt this would happen & they did just that.

I am selling the farm as soon as I have a place to go.I am not use to town, but, I think in time I will be glad I did. The church family have been helping me get things ready to move. It's such a job.I have over done myself many times. The work just don't stop. I had back surgery last month and haven't had time to get things done.

Now I'm getting ready for another surgery, not as serious, but here I'm wanting to move any day now. What a mess! Things packed everywhere and I'm not suppose to carry over 5 pounds. I have no idea how I can pull this one off.Truth is I am about sick from all this.
Well I need to get dressed before I find myself buried in work. I'm glad your back with us.
Blessings,
Billie:)

Its been 6 months since my back surgery and I am doing fine. I don't even take pain pills and I am completely healed. Even the nerve damage in my leg has been healed. Doc had said in Dec. that it was permanent damage. I just Praise the Lord for such a healing. I can't wait to see the look on my surgeons face when I tell him in June how good I am doing. Its a miracle after all I have been thru. I had artifical bone put in and it seems to have been what I needed. My own bone just crumbled, and the medal I was allergic to. I even had the stimulator taken out, it was giving me so much trouble. No rep treated me, he just sent one woman to check me, one time. They are suppose to see you anytime you need an adjustment. I am so glad I don't need any of it anymore. I can walk fine now, and run all the time.

I hope you gals are doing fine also. I just hated being in that state of limbo, where you don't know one day from another.

Thanks for all your prayers. God answered all them. I am real close to my Pastors family. I even eat at there house every other week and they are here the other week. Being around positive people has done a world of good for me.

My husbands family don't pay much attention to me even yet. I have made new friends since I moved and every thing is great!:D

Billie it's wonderful to hear you are doing so well, you've certainly been through a lot!

I was only able to finally get logged in yesterday, I have so much to try and catch up on!

Me? Well, I have bad days and worse days but God and my family are always here for me, friends too :) I vetoed the SCS, I don't know if you remember talking to me about it or not. I just couldn't wrap my brain around the whole deal. My spinal pain isn't quite so bad, it's other pain and stuff that bothers me the most. A lot of my pre-op symptoms are creeping back which really scares me.

I hope to be able to pop in more often here :)

I am starting to have problems again too. Once I turned the air on this Spring my aches and pains came back. I am beganing to think there is no end to it. I heard from Sherl last night. She is having back & nerve problems too. They did an MRI and are talking surgery to decompress a couple nerves. She isn't wanting to do it. She did want me to tell you HI for her. If I hear anymore I'll let you know.

I go back to my surgeon in June. I was so wanting to tell him that I was well. He was planning to release me if all was ok. He xrays me everytime I go. I done so well all winter and I think the air conditioning bothers my back. It has turned cool over night. The temp droped 35 degree's. That isn't the best of conditions either. I am going to try and stand it as I am going on a trip next month.

I hope you get to feeling better. I doubt if the SCS would of helped you. I have known of 3 that come back with a good report. I'll try to check in more often.
