It was huge and shaped like the state of Louisiana ( a big upside down "L"), roughly a bit larger than an 8 1/2 x 14 sheet of paper and weighing in at around 3 to 4 pounds with the top attached to my Pelvis bone and the rest wound amongst the various muscles and other things in my thigh.. The operation took roughly 4 hours. Two days after the extraction I sat in a chair normally for the first time in many months. Since January I have lost a total of almost 50 pounds (Jenny Craig eat your heart out !!!) I found that I have an amazing friend base and am totally grateful for all they have done over this time when they were severely needed. Quite an adventure overall. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>An interesting and sometimes very tough and painful test for my inner strength and spirit -- Time for healing the things of life which have accumulated in my memory and soul and the ways I have created for dealing or working around<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>with them – and learning more about these things called grace and forgiveness all while still heading in a positive direction for overall healing and growth, development and communication abilities. What an amazing time has been given to me for the preparation of life still to come.</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></HTML>
