Rose thanks for asking, but I got a mess going on with the doctor thing too. The general practitioner ordered a CT scan that found nothing wrong with my stomach but an ovarian cyst. So I had the results sent to the gynecologist. He ordered an ultrasound, at the same time, I was referred to the gastroenterologist and she wanted a endoscope with a biopsy. I was thinking - whoa horsey! I got two people working on one thing. Let's see what the gynecologist says, then I'll schedule the endoscope. No since getting in any big hurry. They don't.
I'm hoping with my new daughter-in-law and granddaughter that the mood won't be so somber. Mom was the life of the party so to speak and dad was okay then, too. We are such a small family to start with and as you said, I'm over my losses, not meaning I don't miss mom, but I accept that life goes on. It's that overwhelming sense of dread that it's gotta be done. I mentioned that dad hasn't moved ANYTHING since mom has been gone 2.5 years. He doesn't want to change the way things are done. Go somewhere else, go out to eat, have it catered (all suggestions I've made).
I have probably contributed to your loneliness Rose. I've been a bit overwhelmed and I've been here- reading, but not saying alot. I think Mom of 3 and someone else was away for the weekend. Wildcat is remodeling and I can't remember who was going to Budapest (I think). It was a lot busier when I first joined too. I get so much out of it, I have to make myself respond.....it helps and or write something....it helps too. Let's hope that everyone is doing sooo great, they don't need the group and we can make new friends until we get there (we are getting there, you know!)
tomorrow!
