Hello Maureen~~Pleace accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your Mother. I lost my Mother when I was 25 years old and in surgery. My parents lived 1800 miles away so I never got to attend the funeral, it was a very hard time. I do understand, my friend. Feel free to reach out to me if you would like to. God be with you. PEACE

It is the middle of the night here in California and I cannot sleep. Yesterday I was one week post op. Today we are having my mother's funeral. When I visited my surgeon today to have my staples removed, his assistant told me that she had spoken to my mother several times when looking for me. She told me how wonderful and sweet my mother was and how much she wanted my sister and I to have this surgery. It is so bittersweet right now. I truly feel reborn and know that this surgery was a miracle in my life. Maybe my mom's intercession has given me such a smooth and painless recovery. (My surgeon of course takes all the credit:)) He asked me to go with him to a seminar tomorrow so I could speak. I think he was more likely thrilled to be able to say look at my patient after just one week!! He thought we had already had the funeral. Today I was focused on my doctor's appointment. I have felt so good ever since I came home from the hospital. He said my recovery is amazing. I feel that it is. I lost 13 lbs this week. I haven't had any pain at all. I have been able to walk and take do a lot of the things for the funeral. I have been careful, been drinking my water and getting a lot of protein from Designer Whey natural. I add it to everything as it does not alter the taste....diluted apple juice, broth, yogurt. I feel as if I didn;t have surgery at all. I am going back to work next Wednesday. I would go back Monday, but I think I need some time just for myself after the funeral. I will get back to the site soon. I appreciate the support and prayers so very much. I will be writing back soon. Margaret Murray, who I met through this site is even coming to the funeral. (I hope she knows what she is in for....a big Irish Catholic funeral..pretty emotional and pretty long.) She has been so kind and supportive..thank you Meg. Good luck to everyone..I will pray for all of you tomorrow. Love, Maureen

Dear Maureen, I'm so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I lost my sweet mama two years ago on the 30th of this month. She too passed away in her sleep. I know the suffering you are going through. I'll keep you in my prayers and thoughts, and if you ever need to talk I will be here. With much love, Wanda

Hello All! My name is Margaret, Maureen served as my Angel two weeks ago when I was undergoing my surgery. I met her via this site. I talked with her today. She is in USC University Hospital. She had her surgery this past Friday. She did well. She had a good team and she was ready for her rebirth. She should be released tonight. A couple of days early. She really has done well. She wanted me to post for her and to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts. Maureen needs your prayers to continue, sadly her Mother has past away. She past away in her sleep unexpectably on Friday when Maureen was in recovery. Maureen just found out today. Her heart rate was a bit fast so the team and family made the decision not to tell her until she was stable. Her heart rate was normal for her, they just had missed giving her the regular medicine she needed for her heart. As soon as they started it she was fine. Maureen is a brave soul. She lossed her Father a year ago, then an Aunt and now her Mother. Please keep her in good thought.I have only met her when I was in ICU actually before I was conscious but she truly has been an Angel to me. I will keep everyone posted on Maureen.
