Sharron~ I'm so sorry to hear that your holiday was "less than fabulous"...LOL...I do believe the expectations put upon you by your family were a bit over the top. <p>You need to take care of YOU~ you are the MOST IMPORTANT person in your world...I'm certain that you will start to feel better and better as each day goes by~ remember that we all heal at our own pace. Give yourself the tender loving care YOU DESERVE, nap when you need to, get a massage if you'd like, have a manicure/pedicure, read a good book, call a good friend! <p>It may not feel like it NOW, but the surgery is a blessing and when you have lost 100+ pounds, you will be "dancing in the streets", girl! *Grin* <p>Sending positive energy and prayers your way!
