I realized that after we finished this video, I had an additional five surgeries. I'm home resting comfortably. Surgery went fine. No issues, no complications and the staff at Condell gave me the best service that a person could ask for. The love and prayers definitely carried me through this procedure! Looking forward to resting and taking as much time as I need for my body to heal. Love y'all!!!!!!!

Last week my surgery was rescheduled because two different people needed emergency surgery. I wasn't upset because I realized that whatever I was dealing with paled in comparison to what these two individuals and their families had to deal with because I realize that perspective is everything.
My surgery is back on today at noon and I pray that all goes well with my procedure and everyone else having procedures today. I'm thanking God in advance for his Favor. See y'all on the other side.

After the disappointing news about my surgery I decided change the narrative with food. First time have Berts Pizza and as always pizza makes everything better!
