Default I got sad today!!

We did some shopping, then hung out at the house till it was time to go out to dinner. We had a wonderful time at Black Angus, with the inlaws my hubby and daughter! Then we came home and watched Premonition w/ Sandra Bullok (good movie!). Then it was Izzys (our daughter) bed time, Well I was already a little emotional from the movie, She gave me the biggest hug ever, It brought tears to my eyes! Then I kinda lost it! I cried......I was having a moment! All these thoughs ran through my head.....as i'm about to have my surgery in 2 days. Gosh I just pray I make it through this, I wouold not want to leave my daughter with out her mom....or my husband with out a wife! Why do we have these thoughs?? Well my positive thought is that God will keep me safe! He is with me!

Thank you for listening to me!

Ms. T,
Can I tell you what you already know?

We have all had those feelings, like we are making the best and worst desicion of our lives. Angry that we came to this point, frusterated that we can not acheive the proper weight with out this surgery. Lonely, because no matter how many friends and love ones we have, it is only you, going through this at this time.

We are here for you, becasue we have been there.
Whether we have children or spouses or maybe a mom or dad, heck what if it is just the cat you live with!!
It does not matter, the fear is real and being brave is your stregnth!!

You and Robin will be walking the halls of Hotel Pomerado in no time and then struting your cute selves any where you want!!!

Your feelings are as normal as the sunsets in the west!!

Call me if you like, I am here for you...soon to be stapler sistah!!
Rain!

Default Hello Ladies

I was wondering what day you go home from the hospital. I wanted to come visit you both on Wednesday but my future ML has to work & my future husband doens't get off till 7pm, and won't be home till about 7:30. She doesn't have to work Thursday, so I was hoping I could come see you then. I don't remember how long I was in the hospital afterward. Let me know ladies.
I know we all live in East County so I'm free tonight if you guys want to net for coffee or something. I know you have a lot going on right now but something to you mind off of everything might be nice.

The plan is to be discharged sometime Thursday. Tonight I'm staying at my buddy's house in Poway since she's going with me to the hospital at o-dark-hundred (5:30am) and she lives so much closer to Pomerado than I do. Saves me some driving time and more sleeping time (yeah, right! Like I'm actually going to sleep tonight!!) I'm extremely touched by your offer to visit and/or get together pre-op, however, for me, it just doesn't seem like it's going to work out this time. I hope to meet you soon, just not sure when or where. Maybe at a support group down the road. Thanks again.

Default Thanks!

Yes, I won't be able to do the coffee thing! Thanks for the offer Jeanie! I have last min stuff to do. However, I do plan on trying to go to sleep @ 8pm, (yeah right!) worth a shot!

Robin best wishes for you tomarrow! I will see you on the LOSERS side!
