Keep me smiling guys! I'm so sick today, in fact, I just got back from the emerg where I went to get checked out. My doctor is away until Thursday and I wasn't waiting till then. It only took two hours, not bad! I was rather apologetic because normally I wouldn't go to emerg for this sort of thing but I've been fighting this virus for 8 days and decided it was time to make sure nothing else was going on. The good news is that the doctor found nothing but the virus, told me to get some sleep and you know the rest. I phoned STBX this morning to tell her I was going to emerg and ask her to take the kids tonight. She suggested that she drive me to the hospital but I said I'd be OK. I just called her now to let her know what happened and she offered to leave work and go pick me up something for lunch but I said I was OK, but I did accept her offer to drop me off some soup tonight on her way home. You know, when we were together she wouldn't have even said "get better soon" and now she wants to act like a wife, go figure! At the hospital I was asked my marital status (why that matters to them, I don't know) and I said "separated" and I felt my chest tighten up and I wanted to cry. When they asked for a contact I automatically said STBX. I know I feel lousy and that impacts greatly but after STBX offered to leave work to bring me lunch and then to bring me soup tonight I hung up the phone and broke down in tears. What a weird world. Yes, 20 months later it can still be hard. What a rollercoaster ride, eh! Later Dbers.
