Hey Jboo,
I am not sure when dbajunky will log back in. I think we all have fear when we are getting ready to go into surgery. Especially when they have you sign the form about all the possible complications. The only thing that helped me was to put it in my higher powers hands. I thought to myself the chances of me having problems or dying from this surgery is less than me and my husband being killed in a car accident or me dying from complication of diabetes or sleep apnea. Bottomline, I saw the surgery as a way for me to PROLONG my life. I went into surgery AND the next thing I know...I was waking up with my husband and mom by my side. I am just glad I was able to get back on track so my WLS was for not.
I am sure being a single parent brings with it many other concerns. I imagine you would want to have a plan as to who would take care of your child should anything happen to you. Make her aware that she will be taken care of and that you will love her and watch over her even if you are not there. I have had these talks with my kids already. My little one shared with me the other night that she did not want anything to happen to me...did not want me to die. Kids just naturally think about these things...especially when they get a hint that we are not immortal.
None of us are promised tomorrow...are we? Just pray about it, talk to people who are supportive (like on this site). Keep telling your child you love her. You did good just by sharing your fears here. Keep coming back and sharing about your journey.
