    Default Things I didn't consider when sharing a room

    Things I hadn't considered when I decided to share a room instead of private room in TJ,MX. My roomie is very sweet and friendly however is from another country hard to understand. She's scared to go anywhere alone and I'm the type that likes to go an do on my own. She's constantly on her phone which is fine just something to consider (luckily I brought headphones) she gets cold easily and I'm from texans lol i don't know what cold is so she controls the AC. Also she hasn't spent time preparing or reading or even knows what this surgery is and I've spent most of her free time when she's not on her phone explaining things to her. Lastly sleeping patterns are different and its hard to be quite and not wake your roomie. I ended up coloring in the dark lol yes it's cheaper but if your like me and like your space peace and quite keep these in mind. However her and everyone here is very helpful nice and kind. I just like my space

    Default Re: Things I didn't consider when sharing a room

    I am sticking it out tonight but after surgery I will be getting a private room. I need to focus on myself and healing and unfortunately it doesn't sound like she's done any preop so there's no telling how she will be plus I can't even go to the front without her because she won't stay in the room alone and it's very nice here seems really safe but who knows. Nice lady just not for me I'm more of the person to relay on myself and not others and it's kinda irritating she didn't take the time to plan for this like I have. Hopefully I don't sound bitter but I was hoping to relax a bit while I was here and it hasn't happened :-(

    Well I can totally relate. I'm also a workaholic I live alone so I have to pay a lot of bills. I'm tired of food food food 24/7. I'm ready to really live! I'm not sleeved yet. I just finally made the decision last month after 3 years of contemplating it. After talking on the phone to a few pple that actually did it. And our educated people as well. I'm going for it. They've all said the same thing that it's the best thing they ever did for themselves. Sold! I'm so happy to have this to really get to see people's every step of the way! I'm siked for you!!

    Don't blame you. You have come too far to have to be a constant security blanket. You need to worry only about yourself for the next few days. I recommend you keep your new room number a secret!

    I paid extra for Dr Almanza. He's going to be my Dr too. Only cause all the people I spoke to went to him. I heard all good things about him!
