~*~* thursday July 20 my day....SCared~*~* Keep me occupied!

It is coming up in three more days! Scared! Am I doing the right thing here...?! I read some of the other profiles today and its got me so worried... This is elective..... I am not wanting to leave my kids and husband this soon.. God Please be with me! I know it is in your time. Wow I have had five surgeries in a year from October 04 and I was not this scared... Whay I wonder? Mother in law still not speaking and she is still giving hubby a hard time.. read my other post to find out..."LONG" We together are doing great. i got most of my house work done and we are going shopping tomorrow. Any suggestions? I got my protien things....I need to get things like pudding or jello... Anyone got anything to add for that? Whats good? I am gonna be so uptight for the day of surgery if this is how I feel now......... This site is wonderful!!! Pray please... Write me make a note on my profile KEEP MY MIND OCCUPIED.............. :hug:

Wow, Melissa, you sound like I did 31/2 months ago..hahah... Now I am one of the happiest women alive. I feel my life growing and getting better, everyday. I am healthier, I don't get tired easily anymore, I no longer sleep with the c-pap machine, and my back and leg cramps have diminished..life couldn't be better....Oh, wait, yes it can...I am trully happy, I love myself again, I see progress almost daily, and I look really good. I am getting tons and tons of compliments. Today at work I saw a very handsome guy that I hadn't seen in months, when we (literally) bumped into each other, he didn't recognize me and excused himself, I smiled and said "it's okay". He then looked at me long and hard and told me how wondeful I looked. He could not stop staring and complimenting me..he then realized how apparant he was gushing over me, that he blushed..I have to say that, it made my day..he was so sweet and for a second I was the object of his affection..."wow". Melissa, if this is what YOU really want, then just pray and start looking forward to your new future with your wonderful and supportive husband. About your mother-in-law, well just put her out of your mind for now. Concentrate on you, don't loose focus...She sounds like a miserable woman and nothing will make her happy....As long as your hubby supports and loves you, nothing else matters.. Maybe after your surgery you can invite her over for coffee and explain how happy you are and how much a better person you will be for your husband.....remember, you attract more flies with honey!!!!!!!!! p.s. don't buy a lot of stuff. I have tons of cans of broth, "yucky" protein pwders, and creamed corn. For the hospital take some slip on slippers, for your walks and an open robe to throw on. START walking NOW and continue as soon as you are home from the hospital...as soon as medically cleared, start weights. Hoped this loooonnnnngggg letter helps. God be with you and yours, Carolbear

Well I am Melissa's husband. She asked me to post here for her. She is capable but her PC is not. She is home and doing OK. She is having a hard time getting the protein down that is required daily. She has a appointment in the morning due to a sharp pain in her left side that is not letting up or moving like gas would. She said if she had it to do over she would not have had the procedure. I will fix her PC as soon as I can so she can post. I will relay any questions to her. This is my first day back at work so I will repond as soon as possible.

Hi Melissa/Melissa's husband. I hope you start to feel better. I am wondering why you say you would have had the procedure? What procedure did you have? Well get to the doctors, rest and don't worry things will be fine.
