Bummed out

This has been the worst three days!

 

I moved on Wednesday, while on day three of liquid diet. The move took three days! Everything hurts. Protein shakes alone did not help. I have a car full of crap to unload and it's raining buckets. I just want my new home in order befor surgery! I feel like crying.

 

But I had some broth and I'm beginning to feel some what better. Maybe a power nap is in order. Lol

 

My sister was to come to be with me for the surgery and she called today to tell me she has something wrong with her leg and is at the ER. She may need surgery. I'm pulling up my big girl panties and pushing forward.

 

Then I thought about my mom all weekend during the move, I miss her so much; she's been gone for six years but it still feels like yesterday. I wish my mom had taken the chance to have the surgery 10 years ago. I honesty believe she would still be here.

 

Ok shaking off the blues, I'll be my own sunshine along with the help of fellow sleevers. This is our month July, the new me is itching to come out, some are ahead of me and some are behind, but we will all graduate!

    I'm so sorry you are going through all of this alone. If I were in the area, I'd surely help you move & be of some support.

    You have a lot going on. Your body & mind are becoming a little weary. You're on a liquid diet & MOVING. Your body is TIRED & it needs to rest. It's OK that your car is full of stuff. Unpack in a few hours.

    Your closest support is in the ER & you're missing your mom. {{HUGGGGS}} to you.

    Breathe and slow down. Rome wasn't built in a day & even GOD rested on the 7th day.

    :-)

    Your spirit is still strong & it will get you through.

    If your home isn't in order before your surgery, IT'S OK. Unpack the essentials, have a comfortable place to rest & recover & be sure to have your liquids and meals handy.

    Once YOU begin healing, you can then complete your place.

    TAKE CARE OF YOU so you can then take care of your new place.

    Hang in there, you are going through a season of change and with that comes some self questioning.. What am i doing?

    Soon you will look back at this and say I did it!! So set your goals, be you own bestfriend and love your self.

    Reset some of the New home goals and make your new home as comfortable as you can!

    Take care!

    I'm so sorry for the issues. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I firmly believe that your mother is with you and that she supports your decision--that's one of the reasons you were thinking of her so much. Hang in there and know that your mother will be watching over you!

    Thank you all for the well wishs and I greatly needed the hugs. The family is doing much better. In fact my niece has been really good all week and told me yesterday that she plans to stay at my place the week of surgery, she'll arrive once I get out (Tuesday) and look after me.

    I figure with doing clear liquids for the first week there in not much to prepare, scoop some jello in a bowl or heat some broth. I don't want to tax her either, this heat has not been kind to her.

    Again, thank you all for your kind words they are greatly appreciated.
