Your news is terribly sad. My thoughts and prayers are with you. We lost my youngest brother in September unexpectedly so I know exactly how you feel.

Prayers are with you

A young life loss is the biggest of tragedies. I know how hard it is to go through, and there is just nothing to say to justify it. Time will help you all feel better and hopefully the love and support of each other around. Your friends at LBT are obviously "here" too. Deepest sympathies and great hugs coming your way..............

Oh Vera - I am a 911 dispatcher and I am all too familiar with tragic accidents such as the case. I take my job home with me after work and calls replay in my head time and again - especially the really bad ones. Please take a little strength and comfort from all of us and know that God is with you all. please keep us posted on the autopsy results or any further information - I will be thinking of your family.

Thanks for all the prayers, we feel the Love. It has been a real emotional time for all of us. I think tears would roll every 5 minutes for the first 2 days.

Karen is the youngest of 4 siblings, her sister Kristy who is 5 months pregnant is very distort, they were best friends as well as sisters. They even shared the same birthday.

The funeral is set for this Wednesday so there is plenty of time to prepare even though no ones ever ready for a funeral. The odd thing to me is that she had requests if she were to die even though she was only 21. She wants to be cremated (after the funeral), close caskit, she doesn’t want any one to see her dead, and we’re not to wear black.

The corner has sent samples to the pathologist and we won’t know the conformed cause of death for 3 weeks. It was noted that she had a slightly enlarged heart. When she fell (found between the tub and sink) she landed somehow on her chin and has a very large bruise but no blood came out of her mouth... There was some discussion that her heart may have stopped before her fall, possible explaining that her blood was no longer pumping?

Thanks for all the concern and prayers, we certainly felt them.

I've been cooking for a few hours for the after funeral gathering...I'm the youngest of 14, some step siblings, 2 half brothers but we're all so close.

We've been through death before, some of us are old souls.

I had dreams last week, my sister running around nude, I said get some clothes on she said f** U, thats the way she was, the next day the night before Karen died, my mom, dad and Alex were in my dreams..don't remember details...but angles are amoung us....right Betty!

Thanks again for all the prayers and the Love!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
