Getting very real



Recommended Posts

Six days to surgery and today was a tough milestone. Today was the day all the bills had to be paid. Everyone wants their money up front, which I completely understand. But you feel selfish spending that money on yourself and not your family. I came home a little depressed about it. I know it is an investment in the future but .....ugh

I bet that your family will be very happy to have you healthy and around much longer. So, it really was for them as well ;)

I also stress about that. I really do. Each time I have to put out anything towards a dr or pay a copay I think about what I should be paying or who needs what at home. But I also know that my health is at risk and I am not only doing this for myself but for my family and that puts me at ease....some! lol

You are a soul sibling to me and I thank,you for this message. Just right message for me and it comes at the right time. Little things were getting me down. As an example,i have been fighting sinusitis for a month plus. Woke up needing to sneeze and blow my nose. I have no less than 3 tissue boxes, but nary a one is next to my bed where I last put them. So off to the living room I go sniffling all way and calling curses down on the family member who moved everything. I really love my family members, would usually do,everything in my power for them, but at this point , enough is enough and it is "Put ME First" time, lol most of the time, but for 30 seconds I VE HAD IT!
Sunshine and smiles for your day and mine.😝

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
