at least the next 2 visits. I go 2 times a week. My right leg, with the skin grafts for only 4 1/2 days had already started to adhere and there was no drainage like it had been being. The Co. Rep. was there that distributes the skin graft material and he said that it looked wonderful for less than 5 days. If things continue on a normal schedule, It should be totally adhered in 2 to 3 more weeks. This was with out the horrible surgery like I had 6 yrs ago and the 8 month stay in the nursing home then! I have driven to the Dr. and driven home every trip! A couple of times I have even gone to the grocery store to pick up a few things before going home. I came so close to losing my life/legs the first time. This has been like a gift fron God! Alot of this I owe to support and prayers from all of you. You were all there when all of this started the second time around! Thank you so much for all the support you have given me over the last few months. My blood family has not been there for me but I have been able to depend on all of you for support! During this awful time I almost lost my 42 yr. old son to a major Heart Attack and You were my support system during that period also! I could not ask for a better family! There has been so much support that has come from all of you and I really appreciate each and everyone of you for being there for me! God Bless you! Linda

That is just wonderful. We ask so much from God, It's wonderful to praise his name and we know he rejoices with us. AMEN

God has given me life twice and my son life twice. I do not go a day without singing his praises! He gets me through each day and with a little help from my friends life gets better. I have learned to cope with the pain and only on the very bad days/nights do I let it bother me at all. I just do what I can do and I have learned to be happy with that also. Life's rewards sometimes comes in small doses but they are worth it. I am glad of everyday that I wake up and I can get my first smile at my 2 little Pekingese. They have truely been a blessing to me. I do not feel alone with my little buddies in the house!

It took alot of prayers to get these results and it took alot of good wishes and support from all of you to get me through this awful and crazy time. I am not a quiter and I do not usually stay depressed very long at the time but all of this together almost got the best of me at times! The group as a whole gave me the encouragment I needed to keep my head above the water! I nearly lost it when my son had his heart attack. He is an only child and I raised him by myself from 11 on and he did not leave home until he was 37. I walked on a very thin line for several weeks before I got it back together. That is something that usually happens over a good nights sleep for me. I was lost! Thanks for being there
