FEET PAIN
TWO SURGERIES NOW, ONE LAST Aug foot no better, second surgery 3 weeks ago, Stitches out Wednesday, then PT starts and guess find out if there is any relief. Dr said nerves were so tangled in foot and legs he barely could do anything. So wish after 4 1/2 years I wish for pain relief. I am going to see if he can do some test.
Got teary eyed today missing that son of mine. Never know when it will hit hard. Sure wish someone would get this site back likr it used to be. I feel losingtouch with everyone except ones that joined my FB. This was such a good support group when I came on. I wonder why people thinks change is better....Like NO Pictures, but it seems no one is fixing anything and I am referring to the tech. I dont know how to fix it and gezzz, we who have lost our child the last thing we really need is change..the type of change of where we could reach out and always be someone there to listen or talk at the same time as tears were flowing down each faces and sharing our pain even if we never met, they knew how I felt, I knew how they felt....now I go on here, I cant even tell if anyone is on line. Then wait to come back on to see if anyone responded. When back when I first joined there was always someone.... its sad ...it haa nothingto do with the moms still keeping this running its changing the purpose this site was started. I miss the days when I needed to cry or to vent or just listen....Bring back our children we will not need this site, if not give back some closeness to connect much easier than today. I miss I miss Ken and I miss what this site use to offer me. I just miss what was.

I hope this surgery helps alleviate the pain as living with chronic pain steals one joy and well-being.
I know that DS made a major change with this site and the one thing that they cannot seem to figure out is to notify us of journals that have been written. I have reached out at least a dozen times and there is never an answer. If that would come back I feel it would really help us to feel more connected because then we would know to log on and read the journals. I have not given up and contact them monthly and won't give up!
Please know that you have sisters of the heart here who do care and the comments, hugs on angel days and birthdays mean so much and that list is posted monthly. All of these are ways to stay and feel connected.
Gentle care as you heal and oh, I understand missing your Ken as I've had some teary days myself knowing that my son's angel day is approaching next month. We are missing our sons together!
Heartfelt hugs of care, Sandi, and may healing continue to BE yours.
XO Joanie❤️
I get notification sometimes in my emails
Hoping and praying this last surgery IS the last surgery needed. Praying for a complete recovery and healing for you my friend.
And yes, this site is much different than before, however, I think if more moms will simply start using the sight again, and not rely so heavily on FB (although I'm SO glad so many moms are finding our private FB group page a source of great strength and healing opportunity) we would feel more connected to each other again. BUT, can't make moms post here if they don't want to. One problem is so many, including myself, grew impatient and frustrated and most of them simply "gave up" on this site. It's a shame. I have never chosen to receive email notifications....now or back when with the original format for this sight. I simply login and look to see who's posted....and easy task as all I have to do is click on the word DAILYSTRENGTH at the top of the page after I've logged on. I also always click on MY GROUPS and then go see what info has been posted there. I like to click on the post of angel/birthdays every morning (or as often as I possibly can) so I can send a hug and message of support on those very tender days. I do however miss our photos!!!! I have heard TEAMDS is working on it, but I've been hearing that since day one....so....who knows!
Anyway sweet friend, I thank you for sharing and being a longtime friend and supporter both of me personally and of FMO as a whole. We need each other, still, always.
Much love to you and please don't give up on this site!! And also, feel free to visit and utilize our own website at ForMomsOnly.org.

It does sadden me that there is a change and not as much connection. I believe that some including me just take a break from whatever they need to and that is including DS. I think the DS site is much more personal than FB but I do use both. We will always be connected!
I hope you can get some pain relief. I am sorry.
Joan and Brandon xoxoxo
I do hope your surgery is successful and your pain diminishes.
This is not like it used to be, I hate change sometimes.
Hugs Penny
Hi Sandi, you have been suffering for so long! I hope you get some relief!
I too miss the old DS site. I still check in every few days but I miss the photos too and I miss the closeness that was here before. So many more FMO moms were active and there was always someone to “talk” to. But please keep checking in. I’ve noticed a few more moms checking in recently and it’s so good to hear from them & share our feelings.
I understand how much you miss Kenny. Always, until we see them again. Love to you and dearest Kenny from Ed and me
Sandi, hope this finds you having a good day. It is so draining to be in pain. I agree with you about the changes to our site. I am not comfortable on facebook even though it is a closed site. The girls friends are all on and it hurts so much at time to see all the things happening for them and not Jennifer and Marissa. Life is cruel and also happy in the memories I have. I cherish them for sure. Peace to you today. Kathy xoxo
Hi Sandi,
Hope your feet feel better soon. I have pain everywhere in my body and it sucks! I've been away from this site too. I'm going to try to get on here more. I do miss the old version too but like everything else in life, nothing lasts forever and I must adapt to the new things. Take care Sandi. (((HUGS))) Connie
