I just want to CRY!!!!!

Hi all, I have got to get this out. I have had the last 4 months from hell. Sept....My 16 year old dog (I have no kids, so my animals are my kids)had to be put to sleep. Oct.....My dear mother-in-law took sick and moved in with us. Plus I hurt my shoulder. Nov....My dear mother-in-law still sick moved back to her home. I had to have srugery. Dec...My dear mother-in-law pasted away. Now less than two weeks of her pasting, my husband is in the hospital. Thats right David had to be rushed to the ER late Friday night. He was so sick and in pain and a bad yellow color. Well his Gallbladder and Pancreas is bad. They think that he has a stone in his duck, so they are keeping him out cold on pain meds., Monday they are going to run a test to look to see and than they will remove his callbladder. So it looks like Christmas in the hospital for us. Tomorrow is going to be a hard day for us... it would have been his mom's 74th birthday. I don't know if I want to cry or get drunk(but I don't drank).... Today was my 1 year post-op, this time last year I was 240 pounds and today I am 139 pounds. That is 101 pounds lost and 3 pounds from Dr.'s goal of 136. Sorry this was so long, but had to talk to someone. Merry Christmas to all!!! Martha

Awww Martha, You are such a sweet lady for such bad things to happen. I just wanted to let you know you and your family are in my prayers. Hubby is in the right place, they can keep him comfortable and get the problem fixed. As many people on this board can tell you, he will feel so much better once that durned gallbladder is removed. I will be thinking of you and I hope the love of Christmas surrounds you. Wishing you a Blessed Christmas and a very Happy New Year! love, Barb

Martha, I'm so sorry for all you've been through. You have been strong and successful through it all with a tremendous weight loss. Congratulations on that. Praying for you and your husband that God will give you comfort and the strength of His love to pull you through this time. hugs, Sandy

Martha, I know ths time of the year is hard for many and wanted to let you know that you and your family are being lifted in prayer. Things in this life prepare us for our place with the Lord. Your dear mother-in-law has sent a (((((((((((((((((big hug)))))))))))) to you from heaven and know that she's resting peacefully. Your husband is in good hands. The doctors will take care of him. You need to continue to take care of yourself so you can be there and be strong for him. If you need a shoulder to lean on - remember we're here for you and we love you!!! God Bless my friend!

Crying isnt a bad thing! Sometimes a good cry is what we need to help us get it out and feel better. I am sorry you have had such a tough year. Focus on the positive if you can, all else will be healed with time. Take it one day at a time, its all you can do. Do the best you can and be there for your husband, hopefully he will feel better after surgery. I really do wish you and your family love and Christmas blessings! Hugs! Hugs! Hugs! Kelly S
