It's been a long time since I checked to see if you were coming around FS once in a while. For a year or two I checked quite often. But life got harder for me with my husband and some people didn't like my complaining. I don't do Facebook, my church closed when the pastor retired, and my sister, my husband's 2 sisters, and now our daughter died. My husband is more abusive and most people here on FS don't understand why I stay with him. I've written about it a lot, but of course, people don't often go back to read where you are coming from. I hope life hasn't been as hard for you but I suspect it has. I see you lost about 15 pounds since last June. That's a constant fight, isn't it? I suspect you didn't think it would be so easy to gain weight after your surgery. I saw it with a man at church. I pray you have found some peace. I know life was difficult for you.
