ON HOLD TIL 2018
on 8/11/17 8:30 am
Hi ON peeps,
Due to some personal issues with my BF I put my journey on hold. TWH has graciously allowed me to put it on hold until 2018. I do not lose my place and can resume the surgeon and 2 other appointments then.
It was a very difficult decision but as I have explained in my posts this is such a big thing -- a life changing thing- I cannot be worried about others and other things while taking this step. I am still going to be researching ( DUH - that's me) and cheering you all on. A few of you have become my friends and I am so thrilled and excited for them as well as all of you.
Think of me as your cheerleader on the sidelines for now!
Good Luck all! I am still here - just not counting down the days...YET ;)

I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and we are exactly where we are supposed to be at any given time. We may not like it, it may be uncomfortable, but we're where we are supposed to be.
This "extra" time, we'll call it may be exactly what you need :)
we're here for you...ready to cheer you on when you need it!

Lord knows I need all the cheering I can get!! Then I will be ready to cheer you through your journey.
Take care of things so that you are ready to take care of you.
A break is a break you have to take care of you. a surgery like this is a big deal. you have to be mentally and physically prepared for it. taking some extra time to make sure you are REALLY ready is a great idea. i had to postpone mine and it has been a really good idea. i just needed time. you do too.
you will be on the bench soon enough
good luck
:)
I'm so glad to call you my friend! Glad to have you cheering me and all the other folks on, and I'm here to cheer you on, now while you go through this with your bf, and later when it's your turn for surgery. Taking the time you need and going at your own pace is always the right decision
Your bf is lucky to have your support. We're all lucky to have your support.

Hugs jobear! I have enjoyed you being on the forum but understand if you need to address other life issues first.
Just so you know I took a 6 month break from the program and the re-entry was seamless so don't stress about that!
Good luck with everything and I hope to see you on here checking in!
