    To tell or not?

    For me, personally, I knew that I had to ease my family into my decision. Primarily because they are my only form or transportation and support. So, eventually they'd find out. However, if given a choice, I wouldn't have wanted to tell them. So far, they've all been supportive, however its known that my mom isnt thrilled about it.

    Questions

    I had a similar experience with telling my Mom. She was shaking her head before I was able to get the word bi-pass out of my mouth. Completely against it and couldn't understand why I'd "want" to do that. As if it was a trip to Disney or something. She kept saying research it research it, and really think about this. It was so frustrating but I was persistent and when I finally came to the decision, although she was not on board, I guess she knew I was hell bent on having this done. She was the only one who wasn't on board though. Every doctor and nurse I spoke to all agreed it was best. I have only told 1 other person and he's been very supportive. What I learned to do before she came to terms with my ultimate decision is that by constantly telling her I was researching and what I had read, and dragging her to my information session. She began to see how it works and all that. I guess knowledge of it ll made it less scary for her.
