@Weathergirl5 : I spent 10 days in the hospital back in '09 and lost 30 pounds in the process. (Initially, I was only allowed to suck on ice chips.) Unfortunately, those lost pounds found me again.

@otto : Lol! That happens. Those lost pounds have a way of always finding you no matter how hard you try to lose them for good.

@Weathergirl5 : Woohoo!! Congrats, my friend! You can use it after you get well from surgery!

@Weathergirl5 : Wow! I hope that this will prove to be a lasting fix for you. You'll have phone or other device/charger/internet to be able to post once you feel well enough, right?

@Weathergirl5 : Congrats on the win, Chili's has some good food. Hope all goes well with your hospital stay so you can enjoy a nice meal afterwards...

@garfieldgurl : Yes! That is my thinking. I have no idea what my diet will be like immediately afterwards or for how long. I know I definitely won't feel like cooking anything though. So these extra gift cards will definitely come in handy.

@HarleyRider : Thank you so much! They do have some yummy food. It's definitely another blessing that will help with my recovery. I know I won't feel like cooking so these extra gift cards will definitely come in handy.

@jjjj : Thank you so much! Yes I really hope that this is my last and final surgery for a while if not ever. @Sweetie will be posting updates. I won't have my phone with me initially because I don't want something to happen to it while I'm under general anesthesia. But she will be getting updates from my mom. Thank you so much for the prayers and well wishes.
