We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses -C.G.Jung ~ Change before you have to. -Jack Welch.~ Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken. -Frank Herbert ~ The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it. -Flannery O'Connor ~ All things change..but God remains. -Augusta Arnold Ward ~ Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change. - Confucius ~ Change in all things is sweet. -Aristotle~ Things do not change: we change. -Henry David Thoreau ~ I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. -Jimmy Dean ~ Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows-James 1:17

Latrish, I went through the same emotional roller coaster. It will pass. I want to wish you an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. POSITIVE ATTITUDE is a key in this surgery. I can't wait for you to come over to the losing side!!!!

In all things Remember,that the one above loves you,that He holds us all in his loving arms,He knows each of us by name.He said anything you ask for in "my name" will be given to you.So in His name I pray for you,that you be given strength, endurance,love,peace and most of all long life.In Jesus' name. When you wake up and see the faces of your loved ones in the recovery room,know that you have made it.Thank Him,Know that you have been blessed to see and to live out the rest of your days with the ones you love and the ones who love you.....Knowing that He loves you too. Happy soon to be ReBirthday.

Hi Latrisha~ I just wanted to wish you the best of luck amd lots of prayers. You made a good decision. The doctors all over the world have good and bad ones, so the fact that he is in Mexico shouldn't mean anything. Keep thinking positive and remember this saying: SUCCESS IS YOUR ONLY OPTION!!! I'll be thinking about ya. Bye, Sandy

I just wanted to wish you luck with your surgery and a speedy recovery. I am sorry to here about all the negative comments, but if they were in your position I am sure they would do the same. Sometimes doctors from other countries seem to have studied more than doctors in the U.S. Again I wish you much luck.
