You never found any other support groups closer to you? I know you where looking. I should force myself to go also. Once I go nights then I could probably go the the evening one. It's just forcing myself to drive there. Donna 338/159

Thank you Mary :hugs: I know you understand as you have your own big babies at the place you work. They wanted them to do CPR on her and I said what!! She was 102 years old and did not want to live anymore so why try and keep her a live. I guess the States says it's mandatory. Mary's daughter said it was best they did not try and keep her a live as her mother had gone through enough but I don't think CPR would have saved her. Donna 338/159

Hey, dear Mandy! So what's not to like about being a size 11 or 13???? Sounds great. What's your BMI? Who set your goal weight? I, too, am concerned about losing these last few pounds -- I've got about 15 more to go to have a BMI of 26, which is what my surgeon says is 'ideal' weight. Other MD's may not agree with that. Mary

I resolve to attend more support group meetings at Easton Hosp.(PA), and to lose these last 15 lbs.! Thanks for this post, dear Donna. Love, Mary

I must share this with my family as today was a very sad day for me. Your all aware that I work in an Assistant living home. When you do this kind of work those residents become family to you and grow to love them all but some of them you get attached to and baby them a little more. One of my favorite residents was a little 102 year old German lady named Mary. My sweet little 102 year old Mary passed away yesterday morning in the dinning room while having breakfast. Her little old heart could not tick anymore and she went fast and painless. They said her heart just stopped and she was gone that fast. She was ready to go as she asked her Lord everyday to please take her home and I would tell her everyday. Mary when he is ready he will take you and I guess yesterday was the day that he called her home. May she rest in peace now with the angels above I was not there as it was my day off and maybe it was a blessing that I was not as I loved her dearly I would have had her today to take care but her room was closed and locked. Even on the days that I did not have her hallway I would walk the hallway to the end to check on my Mary but no checks this morning or anymore mornings Thanks for letting me vent. Hugs Donna
