  1. Tammy, I have been praying so hard for you every day. I really mean that. I hope that you find the physical, mental and spiritual strength to continue to fight as hard as you can. I believe wholeheartedly that this experience will be over soon and you will be on your way to a much healthier and happier life. I am so, so sorry you have had to go through this. I can't imagine what you and your family are going through. Please keep us posted.


  2. I know a lot of people are gearing up for surgery over the next few months. You know what else is gearing up? You got it, the FLU. This is just a friendly reminder to get your flu shot if that's your thing. At the very least wash your hands often, take a Multivitamin and extra C. Clean those computer keyboards, doorknobs, light switches, etc. particularly if you have kids that go to public school or you work outside of your home. I had the flu last year and thought I would have to get better to die. Don't let the flu derail your surgery! Stay healthy!


  3. There's an old saying that says "Your attitude determines your altitude" and in this sense, I think that you need to focus on being positive and remind yourself why you did this. Instead of saying "I made a mistake", say to yourself, "I made a choice and now I'm going to do whatever it takes to make it work for me". By staying positive and using uplifting self talk, you can combat those nasty negative thoughts. You are strong. You are courageous. You are NOT weak, you are NOT a failure. Find the strength deep within yourself and do not grieve what you decided before this surgery, and that was this is what you needed to do. Take lots of deep breaths and breathe in positive energy and blow away all the negative energy. Much love and light to you!


  4. She won't "let you"? Is she holding you hostage? You are a grown woman, and you can make your own choices. One of my favorite quotes from the book Eat, Pray, Love is "Stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be". I think it applies in this situation. Mommy's love us, but you are allowed to stand up for yourself. Just tell her nicely that you appreciate her concern and help, but you are going to get out for a while.
