I'm just thankful that I have you guys to share this stuff with and I no longer have to bottle it in. Girl I am still pretty shy when it comes to meeting new people, I am still afraid. It's a learning process, and I am hoping that I am doing ok with it. I have been more social lately than I ever have.. and I get comments from my family about it all the time stating I am "never around anymore"
I feel safe with you guys, because you don't judge me and you have all in some way walked in my shoes, ya know? We've all been there, we understand each other.. we have a common bond.. just like with Lei .. even though she decided that right now was not the time for her to have surgery.. we still have this bond with her.. and we still need her around.. you don't have to have WLS to be one of us.. that is what is so wonderful about this group. We accept each other for who we are, and don't judge somoene for being who they are. Nancy, you're one of us.. why wouldn't we like you.. sheesh girl.. get out of that shell.. (easy for me to say.. I still hide behind it sometimes..
) Come on down.. I wish I could but it's too far for me right now.. and with school.. I just can't.
Anyway.. I am hoping to go to the one in May since I will be on Disability anyway recovering from surgery.. so I'll let ya know..
