Reality is my middle name

Gwen -- I'm sorry to read about your shoulder! I have no doubt that you will bounce back from this injury quickly. Heck, it kinda gives you something else to focus on, eh? Blah. But geez, what a pain - literally. That can really wipe you out. Try and take it easy. Let friends and family help out when you can.

And give yourself a chance to work through all of the emotions from the BD fallout. It takes time. We're impatient, for sure. I know I was. Sometimes mad at myself for STILL not being 'over it.' I'd never been through a D before, but had a difficult breakup when I was in my 20's (I wanted to marry him!), which took me about a year and a half to fully recover from. So I knew I was in for some really hard work to recover from BD and D, but I also knew I could do it - eventually. Letting it 'beat' me was never an option. I kicked into survival mode almost immediately. H would never find me lying down and getting run over. Hang in there. It will get better soon.
