Leah, you are one brave lady, always trying to get back to the exercises. I'll pray that the operation goes on as planned on January 13th ( my daughter's birthday)and you really benefit from it.

I 'd like you to feel these couple of nice warm hugs I am sending you (((hugs))).

Sue.

Leah:

you will be in my thoughts and prayers for succesful surgery so that you can start back on your exercise. hey I have been reading great book, it was suggested by Oprah & it's very good spiritual book "facing the lion being the lion" by Mark Nepo

please keep us updated as soon as you can. we will be thinking of you.

hugs,

Asha

Leah you are in my prayers for a succesful surgery It seems many of us facing new and different challenges All we can do is give each day the best shot we have Hugs to you and get to feeling better so you can really spring back from your up coming surgery in January. I am hoping we can get Bill into surgery yet this month I want that cancer out of him NOW. Gods will be done Love Karen

Thank you Sue, Asha and Karen for your words and prayers. They aspirated 750cc out of the plura of my right lung on Friday. Dr. said that was 1/3 of the size of my lung. Actually I had a compressed lung which wasn't able to work. When it fills back up with air the dr. said I should feel more energy. Of course, we know what stroke does to stamina. Tomorrow is pre-op. Then operation. I know everyone is praying and hopes it works and even helps my left (affected) leg. I AM READY!! Should only be in hospital 1-2 nights, then recup at home (slowly) til stitches come out in 5-6 weeks. I will life by the addage of one day at a time and commit yourself unto the Lord and miracles can happen. Hugs, Leah
