Hello everyone. My surgery date is October 31st which is Halloween, anyways I have three girls ages 6, 5, 1. Last night my oldest kids were saying how excited they were to dress up for Halloween and asked what I wanted to be on that day. Well I told them mommy won't be able to go because she has to get her tummy fixed at the hospital. They hugged me and said it's not going to be the same without me and to wait until after Halloween

They then asked me what's wrong with my tummy and started to cry so I had to explain that I'm doing it so I can be the best mommy for them and be healthy so I can run around and play with them without getting tired really fast. My 5 year old then said "are they going to make you fly and jump really high too and she was a tad bit disappointed when I told her no.

I feel really bad for missing out.

Aw, honey, don't feel bad! Just think of all the future Halloweens you will have with them when you can walk with them longer and go do even MORE Halloween activities because you will be more healthy and free and have more energy and stamina!!

Please come and join us other October 2011 Sleevers on the board My linkhttp://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/forum/108-october-2011-sleevers/. We'd love to have you!!! We are all going through this in October and can support each other and help each other through our recoveries....I will add you to the roster...
