Today is the big day!
Jamie goes into the OR in a matter of hours for her Gastric Bypass. We're psyched over here and a little nervous, too. This is after all a major surgery and a major change of lifestyle.
Please pray for Jamie and I both as she takes this important step.
Thanks!
-- CS

I have prayed that the surgery is a success and that the emotional issues behind the need for the surgery will be successfully modified.

Thankyou so much everyone for your prayers and support! Everything went off without a hitch and we are now at home. I'm starting work today, so I'm going to be dropping Jamie off with her sister's house.
I won't lie, I was very nervous when she went in there. After all, they're monkeying around with her insides to help her lose weight. I also know that the war isn't over yet, we've only just gotten a bigger gun. There is a lot of fighting to do, yet, but we're excited about finishing it. She's already lost forty pounds on the pre-surgery diet, so she's even got a head start.
This also means that I'm back... again. For about two months this time, and then I'm off to the BIG sandbox.
Thanks again and God bless -- CS

So glad to hear it, CS! I know a gal at my church who went through that, and she did quite well. I wish the same for your wife.
It'll be nice to have you around for the next two months. I've been missing your posts.

Yay!! So glad it all went well. God is good. Don't forget to take your shovel and pail to the sandbox! You might find time to build a sand castle Robi

Only an artilleryman would talk about surgery in terms of bigger guns. Gotta love it.
So glad it went well, Glyn. Glad to have you back here for awhile, too!
