  1. It's sinking in...

    · fattyaj · 01/18/2013 03:19

    I've been on the road to seriously getting surgery for 3 months now. However, I first started even contemplating it about 3 years ago. In all this time, the only person I've ever discussed any of this with was my Mom. Not friends, and no other family.
     
    Now that my surgery date is almost a week away, still nobody knows.
     
    I've been afraid of hearing the judgement of my friends, or having to answer all their questions because they're so curious. I don't want family to know, because they have opinions of things that they know nothing about, and I don't want to hear it from them. I've put in my leave from work, but none of them know--frankly, it's none of their business.
     
    Here I am, my Mom's coming into town for 2 weeks, and when she's gone I'll have no one else.
     
    How successful can I be with a Mom across the country as the only person to talk to?!
