OT My Mom

Ratkity,

Thanks for the hug and your post.  I appreciate it.
I suppose my family does sound humongous.  There were 72 of us at Momma's last birthday!

sorry for your loss

Just a thought grieving is hard enough but add in the up and downs of hormones with wls. It may be a bit harder.  So be sure to be extra kind to yourself and to understand that there is no timetable for grieving.

I am sorry this remarkable woman is not going to have a chance o see you transformed.

 

 

Amanda,

Thank you for posting.  I'll admit the hormones are something that gives me pause.  I'm 58 and haven't had a period in 6 years.  Hopefully, I won't have too hard a time.  I do remember being a fire breathing dragon at times, though. 

My PCP is a super fellow and will give any help he can.  I've been his patient for nearly twenty years and he's been very supportive of the WLS.

Nancy,  Thanks for posting this.  It sounds like she had a wonderful life and a wonderful family surrounding her.  You have such a positive attitude and I also KNOW that your mother would want you to keep your date and get yourself healthy for your family!  Keep your chin up, your mom is in a better place and is still cheering you on every minute of the day!

Kristi,

Thanks you for writing such a nice post.  I am looking forward to being more healthy for myself and my family.  That was a good way to phrase it.

Nancy,

I am sooo sorry for your loss,  my heart goes out to you,  It seems it should be a celebration of her life  for all she did !!

Being in the medical field,  it never stops surprising me how different patients do .  I am glad all of you were there for her.

Blessings and sympathy go out to you and your family. 

If you need anything, just ask, I can do whatever you need as I am not too far away.....

Debi,

Thanks for your kind offer of help.  It's comforting to have good friends.  I know you have lots going on now also.

I hope you are getting everything done for your surgery, too.  Not long now for either of us.

God Bless,
Nancy

God love you.  Your posting brought tears to my eyes.  What you wrote was so beautiful.  I'm sure she knew all of her kids were ok and that's our jobs as mother is to raise them as self sufficient adults.  I would want the same thing for my daughter as you believe your Mom wanted.  I'd want her to be healthy and happy.  Getting the DS is going to work on your health which is wonderful.  I can't begin to imagine the sense of loss you must feel.  It's great that you're celebrating her life, she sounds like a very special woman.  Thanks for sharing part of her with us.

Debbie,

Thank you for a lovely post.  I wanted to share what I felt and am amazed by the responses.

Nancy, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know your pain. I lost my mother in March. It leaves such a hole in our hearts. You and your family are in my thoughts. I hope that her memories will help to comfort you. She will be cheering you on all the way as you proceed with your journey. She'll always be with you.
