What a very scary and completely "rock you to the core"crisis Michelle. Sending you and your hubby love light and healing energy. Thanks for all you do and you have done so much for the Lipedema community. Big heart!

Oh my goodness Michelle! I'm sorry to hear about your husband's health ordeal. Praying for continued improvement for him and strength for yourself! I wanted to go to FDRS this year but it fell off my radar and then boom! here it is. I would have loved to hear you speak and meet you in person. Maybe next year? Take good care of yourself (because I already know you are taking good care of your hubby!)!

Oh no, Michelle! I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's hard to compartmentalize the rest of your life when your rock is suffering! I'm not sure what I'd do in this situation either.

What an awful and scary situation! Makes me mad/sad that they made him wait so long for an MRI and then for the needed surgery. Wishing you all the best - maybe you could go to the conference for 2-3 days and not 5? Kind of a compromise.

I can't tell you how upset I am that they didn't do an MRI sooner. The delay almost cost him his life. I'm just so thankful he's still here and getting better.
