Re: Clothes Closet!

[Guest guest]

Theresa,

I promise to not throw them out. It was only a figure

of speech anyway. I really meant to say I was wanting

to clear out my closet. Was not sure yet what I was

going to do. We have a support group in Ukiah where I

live and the other members bring in there clothes to

give away to anyone else there who needs them. As you

probably already know that you go through different

sizes really fast. (I can't wait until I am able to do

it myself). Anyway I promise to never just throw them

out! LOL

M.

Still Pre-op for 41 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

,

I have enough wardrobes for 5 fat people and 2 skinny ones...all that

were me for a day or two at a time! I understand completely. I am

getting my larger clothes ready to give to Dr. Rabkins clothes closet

and then I have to organize the rest so I can't say I have nothing to

wear as I am losing weight....(I tend to do that out of

disorganization!).

Hugs,

Theresa
