Default Bridget,

Pam and I drove up to see Bridget last night. She looks really good, still has her warm sense of humor and a big smile. I got an emergency call from Stacy that said she's dying for lemon flavored iced tea and snacks. We brought her a cooler full of stuff. The doctor originally had her on a liquid diet. She stated to him that she can't afford to loose any more weight. She got some dinner last night! And the best news, drum roll please - SHE'S AT GOAL with the skin loss! I didn't want to steal her thunder, but you all will shower her with your good wishes and congratulations! She misses the forum. She wanted to know what's been going on.

The doctor cut her all the way in front and a good portion on each side for the tummy tuck. Wow, is her stomach flat and wrinkle free! Her thigh lift looked fantastic.

Congratulations to my hero and inspiration! I'm so blessed to have you in my life!

Love you.

Thanks Kim!

I talked to her yesterday and she was in great spirits. Wish I could have hugged her yesterday but hearing her voice was good too.

Ya'll take such good care of her.

As Kim said, Bridget looks great and is in good spirits. It was a major relief to see her, I've been so worried. I still can't believe they kicked us out at 8 when visiting hours were over. How rude!!!
Kim,
Thanks again for letting me come with you, you handled the traffic beautifully! It was also very nice getting to spend some time with you. Big hugs sweetie.

Default Pam and Karen,

Pam I feel the same way! It was great to spend 3 1/2 hours with you in traffic. It made the trip enjoyable/bearable. What traffic?

Karen, You're right, it was so good to hear her voice and hear her strength coming through the phone. It was such a relief to see her to back that up.
