I'm supposed to have surgery on the 9th of August, a breast reduction, and a

major one at that... My fiance's family was supposed to stay with me after the

surgery to help me take care of the kids (8 years and 9 months) for a couple

weeks but they just let us know that they won't be now because are internet and

cable access is limited. My worry is this... its so hard to take care of the

kids while frank is at work already, with the RA and the migraines, I struggle

so much every day, I can't imagine how hard its going to be for the couple first

weeks after the surgery.

I've already tried to get help through local action agencies, they said they can

give me the name of daycare providers in our town, daycare providers which I

can't afford and which are full up and definitely don't have room for a 9 month

old let alone both children. And home health agencies refused, because its not

their job to help take care of kids. My family isn't and hasn't ever really been

supportive, my sister is taking the kids for the 3 days I'll be in the hospital

and she's already said " thats gonna take to much outta me, 3 days is enuff " I'm

really starting to stress out and get nervous, but I need to get this done, Its

hard enough to walk upright with disk degeneration and RA pain, but I'm a 40 HH

and no ortho's will touch my shoulder until I get a reduction. Any supportive

thoughts would help... I know I'm not going to have the physical help I need

after the surgery, but if you all could throw me some emotional support maybe it

would get me through a little better. Thank

you all and I hope you are having a GOOD day, and better yet a sleep-filled

night. For those of you that take care of your families and homes and still

work out there in the world, god bless you, I don't know how you do it,

sometimes I want to cry on the way to the bathroom cuz it tires me out so. It

makes me feel like a whiny little school girl when I complain about the pain and

see other people who can do more than me who are in my boat... god bless all of

you
