Well, today was the day....
Whenever people say “Don’t judge a book by the cover"...well today I know that's true... Renaissance Hospital maybe small in comparison to most, and I mean most, hospital that I've ever since. But God works miracles in everyone and everything. For the first nurse, Linda in preop...to Angela and Jaime in Recovery, to the wonderful nurse staff in ICU. I thank God for having them carefully watch over me. For every smile of reassurance, to every vote of confidence, they helped in ways that I can even express.
I would like to thank all my friends and family who called, and or prayed for me today. The Bible says, “The prayers of the righteous availeth much", and God showed himself faithful, mighty, and true. I praise God today that he hears and answers prayers.
Finally, I must thank my Grandparents. As I stated before I have the best Grandparents in the world, and I am truly blessed to even know them. When I think back over my life, there's not a moment that is not touched, or inspired by them. When discussion of the Lap Band surgery first began, I remember the only comment from my Grandmother was "Just tell me when and where, and I'll be there." And they both are true to their word. This morning when we left the house at 5:14am my Grandparents support never shifted, in fact it was made stronger.
Yesterday, I told you how much my Mother has meant. Today was time to show gratitude for my grandparents...True examples of God's love, a love that never fails.

Ashley, I am so proud of you! And thankful all went well--I've been praying for you (with you!) Take it easy and try and enjoy the few weeks off work! You are on your way to a "whole new you"! How exciting!
I Ashley, this is Ernestine and Morgan. We was just sitting here at home reading your blog and boy we thought it was so interesting. I am excited for you because I know that you desire a "new you". I did not see what was wrong with you but I know that within all of us there is another person dying to come out and that is a smaller you! I have been following your blog everyday, and Morgan sat with me today and she read from the beginning to the end and she was so out done. Well, what I want to say is that I never really knew that you had a problem with your weight and the way you looked. I always looked at you as though you was ok with the way you was. It kinda bring tears to my eyes because I desire to lose weight and just maybe this will inspire me to do something for myself by using you as a role model. You definitely is a role model for so many young women and when you said you had to give thanks to your mom. Girlfriend that really sent me over the top emotionally. Always gives thanks to your mom because without them we would not be the person we are today. So you go girl, with your bad self. Just do not hurt no body with this new you that is spring forth!!! Love always Ernestine and I really do mean that Ms. Ashley!
Morgan, this was inspiring and I enjoyed it alot. Continue to inspire others because it does make a difference.
Thank you so much Ramie, Ernestine, and Morgan...
Your support and prayers during this time is unexplainable. When I started this blog, it was a way to express my true emotions. I wanted people to know that this battle is something I've just dealt with for a while. Covering up my feelings, because I didn't want to admit to failure. But this time is different. I feel free by sharing this experience. I thank God that he is granting me courage and strength to step from behind the image I'd been comfortable projecting.
