Should we be preparing to die?

My surgery is Monday, I have bought everything and have everything set up for my surgery and after care. Now I find that as a responsible wife and mother that it is time to get set up for the very real possibility that I will never come home;or never walk ,talk, or breath on my own again. I dont feel I am being morbid or wishing bad luck on my self. Its just that I am running a family and I need the piece of mind of knowing that god forbid something happen that I have some what set my family on auto pilot until they can recover and re-adjust. I set all the bills up to pay automatically, I stocked the fridge freezer and cabnets. I have all important pappers together and clearly marked important pappers in case my DH still misses it. I must say i am feeling pretty good, but then pretty sad. I just hope every thing works out well.( If anyone can understand this)

I can totally realate. I had the big family meeting where we talked about "Just in case" and made everybody squirm. I would have had the talk not matter what I was having surgery for. I wasnt planning on dying but theres always a risk. Well, I'm here and its so worth it! Don't feel bad. Blessings and Wishes for an uneventful surgery, Michelle

YES!! We should we have such things prepared.. not just because we are having WLS, but as responsible spouses and parents those kinds of things should be thought out and completed. None of us wants to think about dying, but in this day and age, preparing our wills, wishes and families is a must.

Tenecia, I know exactly what you are feeling. Reality is setting in now. I went through the same thing. But try to think positive and think of what you are doing that will improve your health. I will try to come up and visit you on Tuesday probably. Take Care- Carey

People to me say so loosely "I know what you mean". Only you know in your heart that they dont and the NEVER could. Comming to you guys is so diffrent its just amazing to me how many me's there are. Your words, and thoughts are so like mine; And best of all I know that you really do UNDERSTAND. Thank you
