I want to thank each and every one of you for your prayers, best wishes, and support for the past 5 months…5 months exactly. You see, I got hyper sick awhile back and exactly 5 months ago I ended up in the ER and required emergency surgery to fix an obstructed bowel, perforated bowel, and one giant adhesion over the entire length of the bowel. Melinda sent out text message updates to everyone and you all started praying or doing the things you do when you want someone to get better, and well, I did. As of today I have reached my target weight of 121 lbs, up from 78 lbs on that crummy day back in September. So thank you. Thank you to each of you who prayed or wished me well. It worked.
The trick now is for me to get this runaway freight train to stop. I have been gaining weight like crazy for several weeks now and now that I’m at my target weight, I need it to stop. So if you all don’t mind one more quick prayer, I sure could use whatever help the good Lord can provide to help me keep my weight stable. I am OK up to 130 lbs, but anything beyond that and I start having trouble breathing on account of my crooked spine. You see, the crooked spine causes me to hunch over and that takes up space that my lungs require to expand. But take heart—if by chance I do get a little over weight, I have a surefire way to lose weight. Stop eating. Since my appetite is synthetic, meaning that I use a drug to stimulate it, I can just stop the drug and get rid of the appetite. It’s great for losing weight. I can lose over a pound a day if I go that route.
So, again, thank you. I couldn’t have done it without your support. I have the greatest family and friends.
