Family members especially close ones might be the hardest to be honest with because naturally we all want to protect them , perhaps like your Mother did  with you   ... hope I've not spoken out of turn here.Not at all,  as I always say anything goes on this thread, its for us all to be ourselves ...   happy, sad and of course some insanity.Do not worry CHF you never bring us down.      You've been through a very tough time, its terrifying if our health lets us down and thank goodness you changed your mind and decided to  reach out to others before you went through surgery.    It just proves how many people care about you  which must've felt  comforting.I do get how scared you were because I went through something similar not long ago which I'll tell you about some other time, when faced with all this you sure do get to know who your real friends are ... I did anyway.</blockquote>
