I'm so glad to hear that you are doing better. I hope that you continue to have positive results from your surgeries!
I am so pleased for u Linda. I am glad u got the help u so needed. Most of us do know the ultimate healer & u have been n His hands. Praise the Lord!! *4U
I know that I would not have healed without the Lord's presence in my life. I have had a wonderful back-up group praying for me also and encouraging me when I got down and out. I thank all of you for giving me the moral support that I needed and for the prayers also. I know that it is not over but for once, I felt like I could see the light! It is nice to have a kind word and encouragement! Thanks to you and the whole group that has been pulling for me! Linda
Linda you are and will continue to be in my prayers. I am happy to hear good news from you.;)
Thank you so much for the prayers and kind words! It really does sound like good news. I just hope it continues that way! Linda
Hi Linda, glad to see that it is going better with you. I know you are tired of bed rest but that is all I think will help for the legs, here in South Africa we can buy at the chemist a medicine they called 'SURGICAL SPIRITS" something that you wash or dep the sores on your legs with, I don't know if you can get it there, but I know it works, because my late father-in-law had also a problem with the circulation in his legs and the skin also burst open, and we use that and it heals perfectly. Love Marie.
I have not heard of anything like that and this is the second time around for me with this. 5 years ago I had horrible surgery on my legs and ended up in a nursing home for 8 months for them to heal. I was 57. The Dr. then went in and just dug away all the meat on my legs until they looked like ground beef. He did alot of nerve damage and that is one reason they are having to be so careful this time. This Dr. is just wonderful compared to the 1st one I had 5 yrs ago! If I could find something to put on it to make it heal it would be wonderful! They are actually putting something on my legs that has honey in it right now. I can feel it drawing the pain out through the bandages. I am not sure it is healing anything. They are trying to keep it raw so they can so skin grafts. That is alot of reason it has been so painful. It just felt better when I left the office the last time than it has been doing. I am tired of having to spend so much time in the bed with my legs on pillows but if that is what it takes then so be it. I just want them to get better. Thanks for your concern! Linda
Sorry Linda this is something like dettol or savlon, and they use it in hospitals and in doctors rooms, to clean out the wounds. I hope you can find something in this line. Love Marie.
Prayers and a positive attitude go a long way when it comes to healing. So glad to hear that you are feeling so much better. Love and hugs.
Thanks Shirley! I love the Tiger! I do feel better today but I have lost so much sleep lately that I think I could sleep for a week. My back just will not let me stay in the bed that long. Linda
Hi Linda, Always remember you are NEVER alone as you always have your CUTE 'Family & Friends' just a click away!! We are always here for you!!!
You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Hugs,

*4U!
Thanks for the prayers,good thoughts and the hugs! All of you are the reason that I am still going strong! You have been there for me all the way! This group is just wonderful! Linda
Linda, dear - so happy to hear that our prayers are being answered - we will keep praying for you and you will find that you will be able to do whatever you feel you need to do - to have a better quality of life - the CUTE family came together not by chance - I believe. *4U
You are a real trooper for all of us! You are part of the Heart of the group! Thanks so much for the prayers and I AM so glad that I found this group, be it by chance or by will. This is a great group of people to know! Everyone is so caring and kind! Shirlene, you keep up the great job of keeping us straight and informed and it can only get better! You are always there when anyone needs a kind word or a hug or prayer. There are so many in this group that you can depend on to give a part of themselves to make another feel better. You do not find that anywhere else that I know of! Thanks, Linda
This is exactly what I mean when I say Thank you to all that have supported me when I needed encouragement! You have all been so kind and always there with a prayer and a "hug". I am so far away from all my family and friends except my son and he only has time for his new family since he got married. I am glad that he is happy but I do miss him. I have found this new side of him very hard to understand but am trying to keep peace. When I get well and can leave these good Dr's in the Atlanta area, I am going back home ,even if I have to leave everything I own here. I am not leaving until I get my legs well. I am too close to reaching that goal. All of you have just been wonderful support for me! Of course, my 2 little Pekingese are always close and they give alot of snuggles and kisses. They are alot of smiles just watching them. They both look like they are up to something all the time. I would be lost without them! Thank each of you so much! Linda
I'm so glad to hear that you are doing better and have relief from that horrible pain. I'll continue to keep you in my prayers. Welcome home. We ARE family here. ***
Thanks so much! I appreciate the thoughts and prayers and I do feel home here. Linda
Hugs to you Linda
Sissi, I kept wondering where I had seen that angel before and now I know! Your little angels are precious! Thanks for the Hug! Linda
Linda, God bless, and I pray you will just keep improving. Sorry about your family stuff. I know it can be heartbreaking at times. The main thing is to take care of yourself. we do not have much without our health. H&*.
Thanks for your prayers and kind words. I'm not even sure what to do about the family stuff. That is one of the reasons I want to tear and run.. back to my home where I will be close to family and friends. I am tired of trying to keep the peace when I just want to raise H--- and get it all over with but it will not make any difference to him. I will be the one left hurting. Just as soon as I can get my legs well, I will be moving back home to be close to family and friends. I lost my son when he got married. He has another family now. He has forgotten that I raised him by myself from 11 to 37. No, he did not leave home until he was 37. That is water under the bridge and the bridge is damaged now! Linda
So glad everything is going better. Have a speedy recovery.
Linda, I hope your problems will all be over after those last two operations and you'll be healed completely. I'm so glad you're feeling better! Hugs and prayers for you. Martine
I don't know if that will be the last two but I have two scheduled next week. Up until this week they were only doing it one time a week. I just all the very painful ones are over. They have the places very clean and ready for the skin grafts but everytime they are wrapped some of the white ,dead stuff starts to spread again. I don't know what they call it but it is like bad cells growing back. I am on 2 antibiotics and they keep me sick on my stomach. They are very strong. I have not been eating very much but I think I could have eaten a cow yesterday. I was hungry all day and was still hungry when I went to bed. I know I gained some weight yesterday. I've just been thirsty today. I will have to wait and find out next week if they are going to have to do more surgery. Linda
So glad things are looking up now. Hopefully this will be the turning point in the healing process. God bless.
