Here I go!

Thanks to a dear friend, I learned about this site today -- and promptly joined. I'm really impressed with the community here and the ease of adding food, etc. I truly need to drop many pounds -- further surgery could be eliminated perhaps if I do lose. I just had emergency spinal cord surgery and am told that I need two more surgeries (another lumbar and a cervical). I have no meniscus in my left knee, frayed tendons in my right foot, and a worn tendon in my left foot. My body is falling apart!! I am only allowed to walk at this point and that is limited due to zero energy and knee/feet. Already I can tell that there's mounds of support here! I am grateful for this community. More later............. ; )
