Finally Told My Family

When I first decided to get the band I only talked about it with people whom I see me every day. Because we are a military family I am far from my actual family it would be easy to keep my surgery from them. But I really felt I wanted to tell my brother and sister in law that I was going through this process.   I finally talked to both my brother and his wife this past week. I am so glad I did.
