Revisiting 5+ years ago
Back when i first started my journey for surgery a good friend and I had started it all together. In fact she had her insurance ok before me. I really thought she'd have had the surgery first but she needed to quit smoking and just wans't ready to do that.
now over 5 years later she's ready to start it again.
tonight i went with her to her first meeting where our doctor speaks. I went with her because of how we had begun this all together all those years ago.
it was so interesting! alot of the things I had forgotten he talked about. And all the things I remembered! I was bobbing my head and wondering if I was the only one there that had already had the surgery. He looked at me and remembered but he didn't say anything. He nodded & i just smiled.
My friend now starts all the doctors appointments and weekly support group meetings that he requires. I have volunteered to join her at the support group meetings. in a way it was a help for me. to remember all that i had done to get to where i am.
the room was filled. all those hopeful people. i was one of them all those years ago. i've gotten so use to being the size that i am that i forgot how i antipated all that was happening.it was nice to get that reminder!
There were so many large people there. no one made eye contact with me! they didn' trealize i was one of them!
