Baby Steps

Another week gone in a flash and feeling quite tired after a lot of activities. I had my first overnight stop at home last week when my sister visited so that was a pleasure as always. Of course I didn't drink or eat too much or stay up late.

This week I shall have my first overnight stop alone which is a whole different ball game, but I know it has to be done and hopefully won't prove too difficult or lonely. I've been out to lunch and shopping with friends old and new and done a lot of bed surfing, which is exhausting.

My house is back on the market and I have everything crossed for a swift and smooth sale and a fresh start in a new home. I suspect there'll be bumps, humps and the unexpected along the way but I feel it is the right thing to do. There will be difficult days like today which is my 36th wedding anniversary, but with the help of family and friends I hope to manage.

I also feel differently about this hospital and wouldn't be afraid to return if it proved necessary. Having said that there are some new patients and problems so I feel ready to leave and hope I don't need to come back.

Writing material is here in abundance; some hilarious, some tragic and some downright bizarre. I have made some new friends who I know will be part of my future now.

But it's still one day at a time sweet Jesus. Thank you again to those of you who have stood by me and helped me through this ordeal.
