Get Healthy and Get Moving Again

On this journey we all know how important it is to have a solid support system...well mine was my mom.  She is my best friend, she lives with me (for about 4 years now) and we just crack each other up everyday.  Originally she and my aunt moved up here (Washington) from Ca. because my aunt had cancer and my mom was taking care of her and working full time.  Well my aunt got too weak to be left alone and my mom couldn't afford not to work so they moved in with me.  A year later my aunt died (2005).  Well on Jan.15th 2008 (my mom's birthday) my mom died too.  Of course I am devastated, depressed and just plain miss my mom.

Tuesday Feb. 5th I have my appt. with the Nut and PA where we start my plan.  Then I have my pre-op appt., and then surgery.  Tuesday is going to be hard for me.  Mom and I were planning of making a day of it.  The hospital I have to use is 4 hours drive from me.  Mom was so looking forward to this for me.  Tuesday I will be going alone but I know my mom will be with me in spirit.

Anyway, I have a few friends who are going to be my support system now and emergency contact etc.  See my family consisted only of me, my aunt and my mom.  

Friends are very important to me, thank God for the ones I have.  I would love to get in contact with anyone out there that has similiar experiences.
