in Introduce Yourself
I joined MFP last week and am slowly falling in love with this site. I've done well with the dieting and exercise and wanted to share it with my mom.

She is having a pacemaker put in on Monday and is scared to death. I think this may be the wake up call she needs to start taking better care of her body, but obviously there is a lot of fear for everyone in my family before we get to the healing part.

Her name on here is Texasruffles - (please ignore the age, she didn't have me at 3!)

I'm asking for anyone out there who has had experience with heart problems, aging, or people who just want to support her, to please friend her. Some words of wisdom could really help her.


Mom--
I'm here for you, and I hope you decide to fight for yourself this time. Your daughters need you, your grandkids need you, and Dad needs you, so please fight for yourself and your health this time. I love you, Mom.

    Done.... I'm impressed with your foresight to include your mom in your new lifestyle (I don't like calling it a diet, because I always gain dieting weight back). My daughter is on MFP and my mother-in-law is considering it. Please feel free to add me as a friend if you are interested.
