AWESOME NEWS!!!
Hi guys! First of I wanted to say Thank You to everyone who kept my
Mom and I in your thoughts and prayers over the last two weeks. Also
thank you to all of you who either posted on here or emailed me
privately and wished her well. She is home and is recovering well.
She is of course having to take baby steps and let nature take it's
course on healing her but you would never know she had open heart
surgery just over a week ago now. And for those of you who have asked-
yes of course she will be at the next support group meeting!
On to another note: While in the crisis of last week I forgot to post
that I received insurance approval for my first plastic surgery which
is for the panniculectomy. I decided to pay for the abdominoplasty
(tummy tuck) and just have it all done together. Well this week I
scheduled it for 4/14!!! I am so excited! I decided to wait this long
because of a couple of events going on before hand (2nd World's Most
Amazing Yard Sale and the EHF Gala that is a fundraiser for the
bariatric department at MCE) and also because by then my Mom should
be fully recovered.
So I just wanted to share the exciting news with you guys!!!
