Beth B's new journal

Thanks for the encouraging words everyone!  Linda, you are doing great--you'll get there! Wendy, I love your new profile picture--you were beautiful before but now you are a new woman!

I had emergency surgery last week after some major hemorrhaging.  Turned out to be a fibroid tumor and they were able to remove it without doing a hysterectomy. I am very grateful that we found a wonderful doctor and hospital here. I feel so much better!  Still a bit anemic but I'm taking extra iron until I catch up.  I hadn't had much of an appetite for a while but since the surgery it is back with a vengeance! I found sesame corn thins here and I really like them for a change from the original.

I am going to take quick look at the boards--I hope to be able to catch up with what's going on with all of you this week!

Beth, You are in my thoughts and prayers!   

[Beth B.]

Thank you for your prayers! I was finally able to get to the grocery store and get some iron rich foods. I read that lentils are high in iron so I made soup tonight. I've really been feeling very good, but I do get tired more quickly. I went for a walk tonight and plan to go to exercise class tomorrow night. I'm ready to be back to normal!

This morning I had the opportunity to deliver school uniforms to some very impoverished children at a public school. Our last team had pitched in purchase uniforms, track suits, shoes and socks. One of the social workers from this district bought them each a school bag. We arrived at the school in time for assembly and the sang lots of songs--all of them Christian songs and they had prayer--you wouldn't see that at a public school in the US! I'll be posting some pictures on FB.

You are such a blessing
