I really feel like you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself. Please don't. You don't have to and can't be everything to everyone. Don't worry about us. While I appreciate and enjoyed the post, I would hate it if it became a chore for you. Take it easy. mum
Oh Mum, it's no pressure really. I'm honestly sitting here just... waiting. Cayden's napping, and so I don't have him to entertain me or keep me busy. My house is clean, so I don't have that to do. I was thinking about going to the grocery to get stuff to make for my father in law and mother in law to eat, only I can't do that till Cayden wakes up and I forgot to ask my husband for the debit card before he left, so I have no cash. My friend who's going to watch Cayden doesn't get off work till two but is trying to leave at one, but I still can't go to the hospital till she gets here. So I was just screwing around with my laptop and I hit something that gave the option for an on screen keyboard and I was like, hey, that'll work. It's actually a nice distraction. Not a chore. Trust me, I don't tend to do things I don't want to do if I don't have to do them. If that makes sense.
Honestly, all that keeps going through my mind is a passage from "Oh the places you'll go" by Dr. Seuss:
“You can get so confused
That you’ll start in to race
Down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
And grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
Headed, I fear, towards a most useless place.
The Waiting Place…
…for people are just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
Or a bus to come, or a plane to go
Or the mail to come, or the rain to go
Or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
Or waiting around for a Yes or No
Or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.”
We heard from the second surgeon this morning that a bypass isn't an option. So. Now we wait, again, for the first surgeon to come back and let us know for sure what we're doing.
I'm an avid reader of your blog but I don't comment often. Still I just wanted to send my good thoughts, hugs and prayers to you and your family.
I was glad to see the new post; I've been reading the blog for awhile now but haven't commented yet. I just wanted to say that I sincerely hope everything turns out okay with you and the family things you have going on.
