Thank you so much for your condolences. To be honest, my husband was not sad about it. He was relieved, actually.
My FIL was verbally abusive to my husband and my BIL when they were growing up. Unfortunately, my BIL believed every negative word my FIL said to him. My BIL struggled through life. Still struggling blaming his father for his failures.
My husband succeeded in spite of his father’s criticism and abuse. I do believe my MIL was their saving grace. My MIL was an angel on earth. She was not the typical MIL. She and I were super close. I was devastated when she passed away on 2007.
In a way, I could tell my FIL things that his sons could not. My husband, being the more responsible son, my FIL put A LOT of pressure on my husband. It was sad to see. But I am not only a “Mama Bear”, I am a “Wifey Bear”. I would talk to my FIL on occasion regarding the issue but some things never change.
Regarding my weight:
My physician assistant stated at our last appointment, if I could just maintain my weight, it would be good. The problem is that I am not really maintaining. I have not taken any of the weight gainer powder yet. I see my P.A. on 10/18, so we will see what he says then. With me coming up on my 1 year surgery anniversary, I don’t know he will want to do.
To be honest, I am not super worried. I have been keeping an eye on my BP and HR. I see my cardiologist on 10/18.
Also, getting my labs done on 11/12 for my 11/26 follow up appointment. From my last labs in August, my P.A. was thrilled!
My ultimate goal is be healthy. And to be able to get my excess skin removed in May/June 2025.
