I'm sorry that your ex has disappointed you by not being there as a friend.

Hold on to the fact that there are people in this world that care about you, and won't feel weird around you after the surgery. Having someone partially there after such an emotional event ~ someone kind of "standing back" hurts a heck of a lot more than them not being there at all. I know that part probably doesn't help you feel better.

Give yourself a gentle pat on the back for me. You will make it through this challenging time of life without him. It is hard and very disappointing, but you will make it through. People will be amazed by your strength ~ by YOU. Trust me. That time will be here before you know it! Try to hold onto the hope that you have for a healthier future, and keep that focus in your mind as your surgery comes up.

You're welcome to PM me anytime. I've had the same surgery & will be keeping my you in my good thoughts. Remind yourself of that for when you are feeling alone & that no one could possibly understand. I'll be there. Very gentle hugs sent to you

Btw, which hospital will you be going to? UCLA, Stanford, UCSF?
