Hi Kerri,

I am glad that your going through the surgery, you will feel so much

better. How long does it take to recover from that type of surgery?

Everyone has gave some really good ideas. Do you have any friends

that could come over while your fiance' is at work. Its really hard

when you don't have a lot of support, I know that through experience.

When I went to the hospital last year, my daughter who is 10 stayed

in the room with me. My hubby is a OTR truck driver, and my family

wan't around. So, it is hard when you don't have good support.

I will keep you in my prayers, and please keep us posted.

Hugs, Tawny

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.

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
