You're right, ronnei. It sure doesn't seem like it has been a year already. I'm happy that you continue to do so well. Go ahead and celebrate your new journey, you deserve it.

I hope your upcoming surgery is just as successful.

You take care and try to stop by and say hello more often.

Doesn't seem like a whole year to me. To you and Annie it probably feels like a whole new life.

Good luck with this one, too.

Hi Ronnie I am glad you are doing so well. Sorry I haven't kept up with you. I went back to the Dr in Sept, and my fev1 was back up to 19% So he scheduled my surgurey for Nov 9'th. We went to visit my son in Ga. in Oct. I had some pre-op tests scheduled for Oct 24th. Then they called and cancelled the tests and the surgurey. My surgeon had a accident and he needed surgery. He won't be scheduling any thing untill after the first of the year. So now I wait again. I have not beeen haviong a good fall I hope my fev1 doesn't drop to much before then. Still going to rehab 4 times a week but I have trouble doing my routine. Some times I can't finish it or need to slow down on the TM. So wish me luck. I cantinue to keep you in my prayers.

I'm wishing you all the best Sandy. It must be difficult having to wait so long for your surgery. You are doing well going to rehab 4 times a week, especially when it is such a challenge. Hang in there, and hopefully the time will pass quickly. I will keep you in my prayers.

Really? A whole year? Wow time sure flies. I think it's wonderful.

[peg]

Hang in there, Sandy. The time will pass and you will be keeping your strength up by staying in rehab.

Will keep you in my prayers.

Sandy we are all wishing you great success with your surgery. You will be in our prayers.

Thanks all for all the support. Cleveland Clinic called and again changed my surgery date. It is now Jan 17th. I guess it just gives me another week to work on building up my strength. They sent me some mind-body exercises to do and a guided imagery relaxation download for a mp3 played. Has anyone ever used either of these things? Unlike my grandkids and kids, I don't have an mp3 player, lol, guess I'll borrow one.

Sandy I hear the guided imagery can be a good tool for pain. I wish you luck with your surgery. Keep a positive attitude. It will help you so much. I know you worry but just think how wonderful the outcome can be. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
