So do I. So does everyone, I suppose. If we just had a clear date, even if it is a year (or more) from now...it's the not knowing how long this will drag out that I find stressful.

I'm sorry to read that you lost your mom way too young, as well. I hope that you can now think of only the lovelier memories of her. It took a while for me to stop torturing myself with memories of the horrible days. But I did get past them.

I certainly hope you won't stop participating here. I would miss you. Many would. The uncomfortable topic can be left in the past. You must do what you think is best.

My mom got me this pain relief gel with litacaine Friday afternoon. Man does it make a difference. With that on I can’t even feel the tubes. And it lasts hours. Once it wears off I can for sure feel them though. Yesterday was really good though. My mom and brother and I watched a number of episodes of Breaking Amish season 3 and they are never interested in the stuff I watch but we were all really involved in it all day. I’m still only eating like 900 calories but I think it may be because I stopped my visteral which may have been causing hunger. Tomorrow I’m going to go pickup some stuff from the far grocery store I think I’ll be ok if I take the pain meds.

That's great about the lidocaine. That stuff can be amazing. Do you know yet when the drains will be removed?

I moved back home last night. It sure was good to sleep in my own bed. The fire is about 80% contained last I heard so we're safe again.

But yeah, that post wasn't directed at anyone here. You guys are great.

I was also talking about family, friends, professionals (who abruptly changed boundaries with no discussion and did not bring up what their ''problem'' with me was, if any.. just destructive criticism which would not help or enlighten anyone) I find much enlightenment here though.
