It sounds like your family has been through a lot. They say everything comes in 3's. I've had many surgeries and none of them were easy. I can relate to some of what you're going through. Thank God for pain killers. I'm not familiar with your situation but I'd like to offer some prayers and positive thoughts for your family. Sends quick healing vibes your way. Have a blessed day!

I am glad you are home and healing. The drainage tubes are a pain but necessary. Lotab is a good medicine. I was on it for a while. I am sorry that your son had an emegency appendectomy. I hope that he wasn't in too much pain after. Well, when it rains it pours doesn't it? I hope your son in law is feeling better. Broken toes are painfull. We were all there for you and wishing you well. Keep us updated. Hugs :-)

You are back...YES!!!!! Wow...what good news that is. I haven't been on Mylot much the last few days...busy with other things and enjoying our beautiful Fall weather. Thought I would do a quick check in before going to bed...and here you are! Greetings, welcome back...and so good to know that you are up and about already. We missed your presence...and it is a relief to know how you are doing. I am sure all your other friends will be shouting...'Hooray, Hooray!! just as I am. It is not surprising to me that you can feel all the love, light and healing energies coming your way...you are a sensitive, knowing person Lakota..and have come through this situation with much dignity and grace. In my view you are an inspiration to anyone who knows and reads about how amazingly well you handled the circumstances. You deserve all good things...and I sincerely hope you have them. As I have said before I truly do wish for you everything you wish for yourself. We will keep in touch..as we always do. Love, hugs and many light filled blessings dear friend. Raia

Oh honey, I'm so glad you're home and up and around a bit. I was so worried how you were doing. Bless your heart for taking the time and effort to update us. I think there was a lot of us there with you holding your hand the whole time. They say that events happen in 3's. So you, your son and your son-in-law... that's the 3 so everything will be smooth sailing from here on!! Wishing you a very fast recovery Lakota... ((((BIG HUGS))))
