May cancel surgery

Dear Deb I'm soooooo very sorry about your sister. Please accept my condolences. Please try to think thru your surgery right now. With your emotions and everything in such turmoil, it would be best to postpone I think. You and your family will be in my prayers...again, I'm so sorry. Joanie

Deb, I can't even begin to imagine all of the mixed feelings you must be having right now. I am so very sorry and will keep you and your family in my prayers. Regardless of what you decide, please know that you have our support. Keep us posted on how you are doing.... it will probably be a good outlet for you to write your feeling down. Take good care of yourself. Tammy

I am so sorry about your loss and hope you will keep us posted as to how you are doing. It is so difficult to lose someone we love and the timing is never good, but this seems to be unusually bad timing with the holidays, the age of your sister and your hopes to have the surgery soon. Whatever you decide about the surgery, it will be the right decision for you. My thoughts are with you and hope that other people's concerns for you and your family bring you comfort during this time.

Hi Guys, I wanted to thank you all for the notes and well-wishes. It's been a tough few days but it's getting better already. I discussed it with my famly, and we're all on the same page that going through with the surgery is what Michelle would've wanted. She was my cheerleader, OF COURSE she'd want me to see this through. So, Tuesday...LIQUID DIET! Yeehaw! We took my Mom, Dad and my sister's oldest, her 8 yr old son, to Outback last night for my dad's birthday and I had my last steak for a good long while. lol It's okay, it cost a fortune but we all needed a chance to regroup and enjoy each other's company. Thankyou all again, for your love and support, Deb

Dear Deb, I'm so very sorry about your loss. It sounds like your sis was in support of you having surgery. I know the doctor would move your surgery date until you feel up to having the surgery. It sounds like it would be just to much for you right now. Deb take care of you, give yourself some time and remember that we are all here for you. ((((hugs)))) Tee

Ok forget what I said about not going through the surgery right now. I bet your sis is smiling from up above. Tee

Oh Deb! I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you're going through. I'm glad that you've made a decision about your surgery and I'm praying that all goes well. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs! Julia

Deb~ I am so sorry to hear of your loss!! I know what it is like, and I feel your pain. I was wondering what I'd do in your situation, and all I could think was 'What would my loved one want me to do?' Make sure you have a good grief counselor, preferably one who knows about GBS. I know you are going through a rough time, and of you need to postpone your surgery until you feel strong enough, I think EVERYONE will understand and support you!! You are in my thoughts!!
