25yearsmlc 10 Yrs Later I File D part 3

[25yearsmlc]

90% of the population have been exposed to oral herpes by age 50 according to the NIH. Just because you don't have outbreaks doesn't mean you haven't acquired the virus. This is not something to worry about.

We were both in the Army and we were tested non stop every year. If h has anything now, it's on HIM and hopefully not me.

KML, I don't see why it's NOT something to worry about if so many of us might have it.

But it's good to know.

I heard some "new info" that isn't new - but my family didn't have the heart to tell me earlier, (H's FB post that he met the "love of his life", which he said some months ago, like within weeks of our parting)

AND d19 getting assaulted/arrested in Boston, AND my 9 hour drive each way

AND my freaking dental implants (I have green/purple bruising and a left sided jowl)

AND h not sending 75% of what he owes, b/c you know, b/c he "retired" and cannot pay, and the "expert" who keeps sending me horribly boring job announcements I guess I have to apply for,

and all my fears about money

Geez, it's been a lousy week. D28 called b/c she's worried about me.

I detest that ^^ although I know it's well meant. I'm not brain damaged or disabled, (well, some dizzy stuff and short term memory issues from the meds and those are improving)

though I know since the neuro crap in October the kids stare at me like I've got dementia.

While in CA last month for GDC, I saw the older kids. We went out to dinner and while they were in the rest room, I switched to a better table.

When they returned, they were looking all around and outside for me. I think they believed I had "wandered off aimlessly" and they were getting a bit worried. Then they saw me inside and came to the table.

They asked what was up and I said

"I changed tables...sit down, your dad will be here any minute."

for a minute, they were terrified...

I've still got it.
