How do you feel about falling?

Wow you sound like a good councilor. I did reach out to the other Dr. His nurse called me back and said she was sure he would take time to get me in for a visit. This was at least 2 weeks ago. Never heard a word. So what will I do tomorrow. I ve told the Dr I'd have the surgery. It's set for April 18th unless he has a cancelation. Have not been able to tell my daughter. She said she don't want to talk to no one or see any one. This is the family I've lived my life to since I was 18. I told my son. He said nothing. I haven't ask them for anything. Other surgeries I signed myself in a rehab home til I was better to come home.

@ammaw52 Good for you! There's some movement. How does making that call about the surgery make you feel? You can always change your mind...or not! Call your other doctor again! What do you have to lose? Even if you've made a decision, perhaps talking to him will give you a measure of confidence- your attitude going into surgery will make a difference. In today's world, things fall through the cracks. The squeaky wheel gets the grease! Be the squeaky wheel but be a kind squeaky wheel. As far as your kids go, perhaps they still know you, expect you, to be an independent person who takes care of herself, always have, always will. We tend to take the actions of others very personally when sometimes people respond in certain ways because of their own "stuff." Maybe write or email your daughter and son. It's Valentine's Day tomorrow. Tell them you love them and always will. Tell them you miss them. You've already exceeded today's plan, YAY! What's your plan for tomorrow?
