for things to make my surgery less horrible

Granted by Heroes: chucksgal, birdiesmom, Tikitu, quiet
Forgive me for this long story I'm about to tell. I wish for a few things to take my mind off my surgery. I have extremely bad panick attacks. A blender, fruits? or something to blend? or soft foods? bandages or dressings for my surgery when I'm home or maybe a movie or two or book? We don't have cable I'm about to begin my first procedure for my stomach surgery this monday. I have two tests outpatient and themI have to have my stomach "wrapped" because of the uncontrolable vomiting and damage that the acid has done to my throat. I have barrett's esophagus because of extreme acid reflux. My throat feels like it colapses and I can't breath when I sleep. I can most of the time hardly bear the pain it causes. I feel like i'm having a heart attack so surgery is a welcome thing if it can make me feel more like 29 instead of 92. my family is having financial problems and I won't be able to afford to get some things I could really use. I won't be able to eat solid food for over 4 weeks at least and have no blender if someone has a used one I could really use it. I hope I don't sound like a beggar but anyone who could help with getting bandage dressings or maybe some soft foods like fruit since that's what I need. We don't have alot of money right now and fruit costs more than we can afford. we are a family of 5 and have a very small food budget. if you would like more information on the surgery please ask.. it's called "nissen fundoplication" thanks for reading!

Thanks everyone for your offers of help and encouragement... I've been so worried about what I'm going to do that it's just taken over my life. I'm bipolar and it makes life events so difficult at times.

I'm glad you found some heroes. I used to have bad panic attacks... I know how horrible it is. I wish you a speedy recovery after surgery!
