working hard to get ready for surgery

Hi everyone! My surgery is scheduled for 2/7/04. I am working alot to put money away since I have to take 6-8 weeks off work. Is anyone else a single parent? If so what are your plans for housecleaning and kids after surgery? I feel really terrible asking people for help all the time. This is my greatest concern. Write back with your opinions. Thanks!!!!

WHATS UP STEPH!!!! MY SURGERY IS ON THE 7TH TOO. WELL AS FOR ME, I HAVE 2 GIRLS AGES 14 AND 4, AND SINGLE PARENT TOO. I SET FEB. 7TH FOR MY DATE BECAUSE I'LL HAVE MY INCOME TAX MONEY TO CARRY ME FOR THE TIME IM AWAY FROM WORK. MY MOM SAID THAT SHE WOULD COME OVER WHILE IM IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A FEW DAYS. BUT I DONT KNOW WHATS IN STORE AFTER SHE LEAVES. DO YOU HAVE ANY ONE THATS CLOSE TO YOU THAT WILL HELP YOU LIKE A CO-WORKER OR SOMETHING ? I KNOW THAT IM PLANNING TO CLEAN MY HOUSE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND HOPE THAT IT STAYS HALF WAY PRESENTABLE THROUGH MY HEALING PROCESS. STEPH, DONT WORRY ABOUT IT FOR NOW BECAUSE THE GOOD LORD WILL WORK EVERYTHING OUT FOR US THE SAME WAY HE MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO GET THIS SURGERY....KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!!!!

Thank you so much for writing back. It really made me feel good to know we are not alone out there! if you need to talk write me back. I usually answer as soon as possible after work. God bless you and I will keep you in my prayers. ----Stephanie
