Tracy all I can tell you is the world has a lot of miserable people in it.Surgery is a last resort for some people,it’s literally life saving.Can you imagine if someone said to a diabetic “Can’t you just keep your sugar in check without insulin?”What if someone was in a wheelchair and you said if you tried you could walk😂.I hate to tell you this but some people don’t want you to be confident,happy,or successful.They hate life and the fact that you might feel worse off makes them feel better about themselves,it actually scares them that they might become the most miserable or that you will be getting all the attention!YOU DO THIS FOR YOU AND SCREW THEM IF THEY DON’T SUPPORT OR UNDERSTAND YOU!You deserve to be happy,confident,healthy.Peoples true colors always shine through and I believe through your journey you will learn who your true friends are.
