Your news is terribly sad. My thoughts and prayers are with you. We lost my youngest brother in September unexpectedly so I know exactly how you feel.

Prayers are with you

A young life loss is the biggest of tragedies. I know how hard it is to go through, and there is just nothing to say to justify it. Time will help you all feel better and hopefully the love and support of each other around. Your friends at LBT are obviously "here" too. Deepest sympathies and great hugs coming your way..............

Oh Vera - I am a 911 dispatcher and I am all too familiar with tragic accidents such as the case. I take my job home with me after work and calls replay in my head time and again - especially the really bad ones. Please take a little strength and comfort from all of us and know that God is with you all. please keep us posted on the autopsy results or any further information - I will be thinking of your family.

Thanks for all the prayers, we feel the Love. It has been a real emotional time for all of us. I think tears would roll every 5 minutes for the first 2 days.

Karen is the youngest of 4 siblings, her sister Kristy who is 5 months pregnant is very distort, they were best friends as well as sisters. They even shared the same birthday.

The funeral is set for this Wednesday so there is plenty of time to prepare even though no ones ever ready for a funeral. The odd thing to me is that she had requests if she were to die even though she was only 21. She wants to be cremated (after the funeral), close caskit, she doesn’t want any one to see her dead, and we’re not to wear black.

The corner has sent samples to the pathologist and we won’t know the conformed cause of death for 3 weeks. It was noted that she had a slightly enlarged heart. When she fell (found between the tub and sink) she landed somehow on her chin and has a very large bruise but no blood came out of her mouth... There was some discussion that her heart may have stopped before her fall, possible explaining that her blood was no longer pumping?

Thanks for all the concern and prayers, we certainly felt them.

I've been cooking for a few hours for the after funeral gathering...I'm the youngest of 14, some step siblings, 2 half brothers but we're all so close.

We've been through death before, some of us are old souls.

I had dreams last week, my sister running around nude, I said get some clothes on she said f** U, thats the way she was, the next day the night before Karen died, my mom, dad and Alex were in my dreams..don't remember details...but angles are amoung us....right Betty!

Thanks again for all the prayers and the Love!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
