Job, thanks for your response. Your post got me thinking. I do not advocate divorce either, it really sux. But I think I'm a lot better off emotionally (now LOL, it took me a long time right?) than some of our friends, because I stood until I was done, and then I was the one who filed for divorce. As opposed to having divorce crammed down my throat like so many others do. My ex would have been happy to live with me forever I think, as long as I supported him financially and allowed him to have affair after affair. I think that once I decided I had had enough of that garbage, it was easier to move forward with less heartache than many others feel.
Oh and the dog is a pug-beagle mix. An older dog from the pound, which I have learned is now referred to as the rescue, not pound. He is sweet as can be, and good company for both of us. I like him a lot better now that S29 gave him a bath though LOL. Thanks for asking about my eyes too. I still have limited peripheral vision and blurry vision in the left eye, but can see great out of the right, and I am really grateful for that. I will be re-assessed in January to see if I need more surgery, but surgery and lasers haven't helped so far, so I can't see going thru that again. And how is YOUR knee, all healed or still bothering your?
Thanks Eric, the DB visits were awesome, especially getting to meet some of you guys who I revere as vets, as well as some of the vets' fiancees and SOs! It is so nice to put a face to the poster! And thanks for your good wishes for my new R. It is strangely wonderful and astonishing to be with someone who cares about me and who is interested in what I have to say. I can babble about nothing all day and night, but my opinion on anything of substance has not been welcome in my house for many many years.
URWorthy and I have hopes for a west coast road trip, right UR, won't that be fun!? You are such a sweet friend; I swear that you saved my sanity and possibly my life. You are a blessing; I am truly blessed!
