so I just have to stick to thinking positive things and continue just worrying about working on our M and not worrying so much about the outside influences. If things are good at home, I figure he doesn't need to look outside anymore.
Definitely don't worry. I think it's better to be strong in yourself and fully know your family is the very best place for him to be... and if he were to forget that it would be a huge loss for him. The nice thing about D and a WAS almost compltely losing their families is they know the cost... and when they return it's because they realize it's not worth it.
I imagine running into OW would probably be very uncomfortable and awkward for both of them.
Good luck with the surgery.... a good friend of mine went through similar surgery this summer. She was a little worried, but seems to be doing really well. She also seemed to have a pretty quick recovery.
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
