Oh boy, I am counting the days til I go under the knife! I figure that I won't be able to update you all after I do. I won't be able to get on here for a week or so afterwards. I hope to let everyone know my progress as soon as I am able. I don't have a computer at home as I have said before. It would take quite a feat to get here to the library to complain about the pain!
Today I feel pretty well. I am up early--way too early. Anxiety again keeping me awake, Oh well.. I will probably get more done on this beautiful Sat. morn.
Take it from me, happiness is definitely an inside job as so many have been telling me lately. Oh yeah, I shared at an open AA meeting last night. I felt I needed to let them know that my A will be home w/ me for a few days of recovery at least. Meetings fall on Thurs. & Fri.--surgery is Thurs. & Fri. is me taking care of me w/ some help of course. I love to be pampered but I hope he doesn't overdo it --that sounds crazy to me. But,,,I am so grateful he is retired so he can focus on our recovery.
By the way, not to jump the gun, my A is celebrating 4 years of sobriety towards the end of the month. It is truly a miracle--a gift from God. I know it isn't here yet but I believe in him.
Peace & happiness to you all w/ a bit of serenity mixed in! Kathleen
Aloha Kathleen...the theme for our up coming Fall Assembly which our District is hosting is "Welcoming Miracles" and you got a couple coming that you need to welcome also. I'll be in support for both you and your alcoholic. I will have my surgery on Thanksgiving Day...go figure...the surgery, the gratitude and the hope of recovery all at the same time. Got nothing to fear about it. (((hugs)))
