Guest guest Posted October 20, 2000 Report Share Posted October 20, 2000 Vivi, I was so sad to read what your sister had written. I think you can say she is not even a support now, much less after surgery. Look for another person who is meaningful to you. I stumbled on a strategy that helped me. I am 53 and my mother is 80. Older folks tend to be more conservative and my adorable mom is just that. She is tiny. I wasn't so much interested in a letter of support as in her understanding that I had made a competent decision about my health. So, when I told her about the surgery I gave her not only a patient manual but a copy of my insurance letter from Dr. R. Later when she got back to me she wanted to know when the surgery would be. I said I didn't know because of insurance approval. She was adamant the I should not let anything stop me because my health was at risk! That might work for your next support. Good luck, keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
