So hard

I just wrote letters and saved them on my PC for my husband, his family, and my wonderful little boys. I just wanted them to have something telling them as best I can why I chose to have this surgery and how much they mean to me as well as my hopes and dreams for their lives. It is so hard to put these things down and feel as if I've covered all of the bases. I just know how it feels to lose a parent when you are young, and I put down things I wish my mom would have had the chance to say to me before she passed or would have been able to put down on paper. Oh well enough of my venting. I'm cooking a mini Thanksgiving dinner today for me and DH and boys. Liquid diet starts tomorrow and surgery on Wednesday!!! I have total faith that I will come through this without major complications. Thanks for letting me vent! You guys are great Take care, Anita

Anita, Im so sorry you had to write those letters! I did the same thing before my surgery and I cried so hard! It took me a week to get 3 letters finished.. It was such an emotional time.. Your surgery is going to go fine.. You need this surgery done in order to live and enjoy your new life and body.. and its going to benifit your family almost as much as you... Enjoy your mini thanksgiving dinner!! You deserve a good healthy meal before you start on liquids!! Hope you have a great day with the family! Amber

Anita, ((((((HUGS)))))) What a nice thing to have done for your husband, boys and family. I am pre-op, and can imagine the flood of emotions you must be having right now so close to surgery. It is perfectly normal to be scared and excited all at the same time, but I too have faith that this surgery will be quick and without complications. Enjoy your mini turkey day with your family and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck on Wednesday! Karyn

Anita, I did the same thing .. and put them in sealed envelopes on my desk. The envelopes were still laying there when I got home ... still sealed and waiting. It felt soooooooooo good to be able to put those away ... Best wishes and (((hugs))) Myra
