this is one of the few times in life where I'm actually scared.

she's 72, diabetic, and definitely moving around slower. she's having bariatric surgery. it's supposed to help rid the body of diabetes by causing a dramatic weight loss.

I went to pre-op and to visit the doc last week. he was reassuring. explained things clearly in answering my questions, but it didn't get rid of my nerves about it.

not sure what this recovery will look like, but I keep telling myself she'll be fine in a few weeks. she looking forward to a great outcome. I'll have to ride that wave.
