Updating my last post: I passed! It was so awesome! I mean the test was really hard but I gave it all I had, took over two hours. I checked and rechecked and then turned it in. I had to check online from my desk at work and when I read I passed I was just so relieved. Everyone at work crowded around and we just cheered. There were 6 of us in all that took it and 5 passed. This is a very hard test. Most people fail it 2 or 3 times so to pass was just so wonderful.
Now today I have to take another test. It's going to spend the day with my family. My sister is my particular little issue. She can be such a b____ch and I have left many times in tears. But today I feel strong and I feel I am going to be able to detach from her. My husband will be with me and so will everyone else. I really feel I am going to go and have a good time. I don't have that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach this itme. I feel pretty strong. I don't feel near tears, I think I will have a good time. This is about the first time I have ever felt this way so I am going to enjoy it.
Yaaaay! I'm so happy for you! I know you worked hard for this and you really deserve it.
Have a great time with the family today. If Sis starts to get to you, just remember how truly sick she is. She will get better, too, when she is ready.
In recovery,

You guys are great. Thanks for all the support. Yesterday with sister and family went ok. It was pretty good actually. I have to keep it in perspective. I can't say I went away with that warm fuzzy feeling of "Oh, wow, I am so proud to be part of this family", but I didn't feel like crying my eyes out.
Thanks again for all the kudos about my test. It really means alot.
