Default So glad you're home!

Carrie, I'm so glad you're home and able to post again - it's good to see a post from you! I hope that your pain goes away quickly. You are a courageous person! Thank you for all of your strength, support, and kindness to others throughout this long battle - you are truly an inspiration and were much missed while you were in the hospital!

I've been away from my computer for a few days, and just saw this post. So glad you're home and on the mend. You sound great, and I look forward to hearing more from you. I'm relieved that the surgery was a success and that you will be getting the nourishment you need to be totally healthy. Welcome back!

Carrie, so relieved to see you home. It doesn't surprise me at all how much this last surgery kicked your butt. Just look what your body has been through the last 6 months!! I pray that this is the first huge step to you getting back to your old self. It really does sound as if the answer to all of your problems was found....I really think you have found the light at the end of this tunnel. Just keep taking care of yourself, sweetie.

My girl, you have been missed. You don't know how worried we all were about you. This past surgery took its toll on me too, but it does get better and SO HAPPY that you can eat without pain. In case you missed it, I posted some new pics under my story...you were asking about them, so thats where they are.

SO SO glad Nohr took care of you. I can't wait to see you again....oh and your Starbuck recipe...well, lets just say if I am ever constipated - I know how to fix it real fast :-)

Until later sis~
