Thanks, Lost! He just got home a little bit ago--operation went well. Dr. T was also helpful--much of the discussion was about politics (there was a presidential debate last night) and also, randomly, what dating is like now vs. when he and I were younger (he included, "It's a reason to not get divorced!" in there). It helped distract me, which I think is what I needed. Plus was connecting.

Then, at the end, I talked a bit about H and what he means to me and D. Which clearly touched Dr. T, and he said I actually should tell H that. I'll try to figure out a way to do that after he's off the painkillers.

Oh, and D did surprisingly well this morning without H here. Fingers crossed she continues in that path.
