Well,H has been out of town for 3 days and almost 3 nights now and I am actually doing a lot better than I thought I'd be doing at this point! He called me the first night when he got to the first leg of the trip to let me know he was there safe and to see how I was doing after my visit to the doctor. I think he was very surprised that I didn't bring up my insecurities before he left but he wouldn't bring it up either. Then when he called he asked if I was ok and I told him other than missing him like crazy I was fine. We had a nice long talk. Then he called me last night when he got to the place where they'll be staying until Sunday (in B**CH country [Big Grin] !!). He told me that they'd be going out to dinner when everyone got showered and ready. I was determined not to ask where and then he volunteered the info that they were either staying there and eating at the casino or staying in the town. He said that if any of the guys wanted to go all the way into Biloxi they could but he wasn't going anywhere. He said everything we need is right here close. Bless his heart I know he was trying to reassure me without actually "getting into" it. One thing that has helped my brain from going places I don't want it to go is the medication the doctor put me on for my sore shoulder and arm. Those pain pills and muscle relaxers sure do relax you [Big Grin] - I sleep like a baby!! During the day I stay busy and when I take the pills at night I start watching tv or reading and the next thing I know I am out like a light. Sure helps me make it through the night!! Anyway,here's hoping I can keep it up tonight and the next 2!! He'll be home Sunday evening. My sons,their wives and my grand daughter are coming out tomorrow night and we are going to go out to eat and then play games. They will be spending the night which will be a big help too!! Wish me luck getting through the rest of the week!! I packed H notes,cards and letters. He has one to read every morning when he gets up and every night before bed. He calls and reads the one at night while on the phone with me. Tonight he is going to be in for a "shock".....I put a very very naughty fantasy in the note!! Can't wait to see how he deals with that one [Wink] !! Got to go...thanks for listening and thanks for all the support!! Lonely this Week, Pfroglady
