Hope everything is ok! I'm so so very sorry you are going through this. My best friend had the same thing happen a few months ago. It's a terrible experience!

Wow, that is horrible. Lucky you are safe and you were not home at the time it started. Hope all is well with you, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

We weren't allowed back into our residents that night so we drove to my parents house in long beach. We just got back now. My place is ok there's just a smokey smell, there were 20 apts destroyed though and I can't believe those people lost all their possessions because of a single car fire. Here's an article that I saw. However it wasn't contained at 10 pm we were there till one and it was still going.

Hey Fyre,

Glad your ok, I know this had to be a really traumatic experience for you guys. I'm sure it will take a while for things to go back to some kind of "normal" around there.

Hi Fyre,

Glad you are ok. I told you I've been there. Do me a favor and take care of your emotion from this. It was a traumatic experience yes. I've been watching your post. Maybe get a couple therapy sessions in to deal with this. I'm so sorry about the other people and wish it didn't happen. Please take care of yourself. Have a great day, it's beautiful outside.

Fyre, I'm glad that you are ok, are you able to go back into the apartment or will you have to relocate until the building can be renovated?

Thank you for all the support! I was able to return here around 8:30 this morning. There was electricity but no water/cable/Internet so I've been in the same clothes for a long time and I smell like crap lol so just waiting for the Water. They have the Red Cross here giving ppl Water and food. This was defiantly an event I won't forget for a long time.

Thank you Fyre for the update. Things will gradually get back to normal in time. A shout out to the Red Cross who have people that do wonderful work in times of crisis. Oh the things we take for granted in our lives. Praying you get running Water soon. Take care of yourself.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
