Great Mother's Day gift

I posted a couple of days ago that I was a little worried about telling my son's father about getting my surgery date because he had been so anti-surgery for me. I did finally mention it Wednesday afternoon and I got about the best reaction I could have hoped for, which was for him not to say much of anything. (Doesn't sound like much, but you don't know how much I was expecting him to blow up again.) Last night he insisted on giving me my Mother'd Day present early. Guess what it was? A really nice personal blender with a portable cup that you can take with you if you want! It's nicer than what I would have bought myself, and I was so thrilled with it that I hugged the box and then hugged him, too. He said, "Well, if you're really going to do this, you might as well have the tools to do it right." I think it was the sweetest thing I'd heard all week. I also walked 40 minutes for the first time this morning, which makes me feel better prepared for the surgery and makes me happy.

Thats wonderful.. Its so important ot have the support. I was a bit nervous about telling my husband, but he too has been very supportive. I think I was worried about people thinking I was taking the easy way out. However, its not the easy way out, its a tool. You still have to work at being healthy. I think my husband is excited about having his old wife back. However, he never said that, but I'm sure the thought has crossed his mind....... Good luck with your surgery. Ronnie

That was so nice - and it will come in SOOOO handy! It's wonderful when you have a support person like that who will help you through things and encourage you as you lose. It's been a terrific blessing for me to have my husband behind me.
