I feel fortunate in the fact that my son will be able to take me to surgery and stay a few days. He is a Sgt in the US Army and just recieved order for 3 years in Germany, including a year in Afganistan.

On a selfish note, I will see him before the surgery, then a day over thanksgiving vacation (he is going to the girlfriends family) and I will be able to see him the day he ships out. When I next see him, it will be when I go out for a european vacation in a year or so. He probably wont recognize me!!!

While I am concerned about his Afganistan time, I think this is a great duty station for him.

I know how you feel, my hubby is a SSG in the army and he is about to head to korea for a year then we will be headed for texas..He isn't going to be here when I have surgery. It is hard when they are away, but you got to find stuff today and just think man you are going to europe next year just imagine what you are going to look like and even more important what you will feel like. I wish you all the best and I will keep your son in my prayer for a safe return.:thumbup:

It is shocking when you find out that they are leaving. My husband is in Afghanistan now and was worried about me and surgery (9/15). He was able to call day of surgery and check on me, it was good to hear his voice. My mother is here to take care of ne.

Just focus on being a new and healthy you and know by having your surgery, you are adding years to your life, more to spend with him.

My hubby and I are moving to Germany

So many things are happening at once, banded and then a big move GERMANY i hope all these things work out...

PRAY, PRAY , PRAY and everything will be alright
