Hello everyone, thanks for checking on me. I'm sorry for not posting for a week, but have been so busy. Good busy, but running hard. I feel badly posting on my own thread when I don't have time to check on all my friends first.
My vision is a lot better but my eye still aches. It is sometimes clear as a bell, and sometimes everything looks as if my glasses are dirty. Except that there is no lens in that side of my glasses. I'm seeing the surgeon today. He wants to operate on the other eye next Wednesday. He scheduled it before I went away, but I was assuming the original eye would have healed by now. It's a scary proposition to me, although he assures me each eye is different but it is scary to think of seeing blurry with both eyes.
My H returned from Moscow yesterday. I had not heard from him for almost two weeks. He has been telling me a few things about his trip, and I am desperately trying not to ask questions, but it's SO hard not to.
He says the flat that the Tramp had arranged for him fell through, so he ended up staying with the Tramp, her 82 year old mother and her niece in their one bedroom apartment. I am not too happy about that, and feel like he lied to me about everything. Although what else is new?
He said RT's mother charged him $500 to stay there for a month. That is confusing me, as I had assumed RT would have introduced him as her American fiance or boyfriend.
He says he and the mother were alone most days, as RT is gone to work for over 12 hours every day. She cooked for him. She apparently speaks broken Russian-Korean and was hard for H to understand. He said the flat was a dump, and he repaired many things for the mother - spackled the wall, repaired electrical outlets, the stove, the toilet, the sink.
He had his tooth extracted at a regular dental clinic a week ago. It cost him $130, NOT a bottle of vodka, and it still hurts him a lot and he feels as if he has a sinus infection on that side.
They did not have time to see St. Petersburg, which was one of his main goals for this trip. I guess that leaves him longing to return.
He was already on skype with RT at 4:30 this morning. I don't know what their relationship is from the little he told me, but it sounds like nothing has changed. I don't know if RT still wants to marry him, if she is still unaware H cannot secure a green card for her. I was ready for H to declare that he was divorcing me, and I was ready for H to say that they have broken up or are back to just being friends. I guess I was not prepared to learn everything is exactly the same. How could it be?
I guess I will just have to control myself and sit back and quietly wait for answers to be revealed. To STFU. But it's so so hard.
