Hello my name is Nita. I am having surgery tomorrow and I am losing my mind. I have no family support. Everyone in my family thinks I have lost my mind because I choose to take control of my life. I just need encouragement. I'm a little defeated :-(

My surgery date is 4/30/2014 also. Nita, you are by no means alone, we are in this together! Thru Christ we can do all things! The road will not be easy, but certainly well worth it! I pray for our successful and hopefully uneventful surgery. I'm looking forward to a new life with a new tool that will help me reach the goal I have dreamed of.

Hi Nita.

I'm having surgery tomorrow, too! We are all in this together and just remember you are doing this for YOU! I don't think anyone understands this process unless they have gone or are going through it. Let us be your support. I've found a lot of comfort here and I'm sure you will, too.

Good luck tomorrow and sending you a big virtual ((((HUG))))

Nita, i'm so proud of you that y ou have made a choice. It's to many times in life that we put ourselves and our health on the back burner for others. You've made a wonderful decision. Remember, we are always here! I'm not that far out, but friend me, ask me any questions, whatever. I'll be happy to be there for you also. Maybe we could even help each other. Have a wonderful day. ANd make sure you come back to check in soon as you're feeling a little better. i'll be looking for u.

Me either but you can do it! Savedbygrace had it right. Just because others dont agree with you taking your health in hand doesn't make them right and you wrong.

You guys are so great!!!! I am so thankful for this blog. I am ready to finally live for me and take control of my life. I have put everyone and everything in front of me and me health. Thank you all so much. You will never know what your acts of kindness mean to me. God Bless each of you. We will be here for each other. I am excited and scared at the same time. I'm so new to this Blog that I don't know how to friend someone. Can someone tell me how to do that please ???

Hold your mouse over the persons name. A menu will come up. There is a small sidebar on the left and then in the right hand area under the top menu, you'll see the shoulders/head image of a person. It says As add friend.
