Thanks all, for stopping by.

Ellie, short answer - YES, most of these traits have been there since I met him. Hindsight being 20/20 and all. Actually, throughout the years, there have been many red flags. I'm not sure why I didn't question them further.

Heywyre, nice to meet you. Well, considering the circumstances and all. Thanks for your input.

BI, sounds like you need a break from your world - why don't you take a drive up here with that frying pan?

I've started a blog like you, BI, and will probably link it from here for those who want to read it - I'd rather not bore those here with all my crap. LOL I'm not very good at this web page stuff, so it's taking a lot of time I really don't have, but it is something I have been wanting to do. So, once it's ready, I'll post it.

SO is back in the hospital. He came home from work yesterday and told me that there was an alarming amount of blood in his stool all morning. Enough that scared him - which had to be a lot because he would never even sya anything unless it was bad. He called his GI doctor, they had him come to the office, then admitted him. Last thing I heard from him was that they were sending him for CAT scan and EKG's; high blood pressure...I don't know. I haven't heard from him since about 8 last night.

{big shrug}. I don't know what else to say.
