I have a friend Marsha that is so sweet. I met her through a support group for people that have had Bariatric Surgery. She had gastric bypass as have I and before her surgery she weighed close to 600lbs. I'm not sure what she weighs now but I know she has lost a ton of weight. Any way she has lymphadima (sp) in her legs and because of that has a hard time getting around. She also has 3 infections in her body right now and is on 3 high powered antibotics and has a catheter and she says she may end up having to have the catheter for life. She is having a real hard time getting around now and is very weak due to the infections. I would like prayers for her that the infections clear up and that she gets her strength back. She also has 3 large kidney stones and they won't operate because of her size. They say she is still a surgery risk because of her size. She can't really exercise because of her legs they are so large that it makes walking very hard and because of the catheter she is afraid of swimming. She was swimming at the Adult Wellness Center.

Marsha is an inspiration to me because of everything she goes through she keeps an upbeat attitude and doesn't let life get her down. She just keeps plugging along and says that there are people out there that have it worse than she does.

So please keep her in your prayers.

Jan
