What a journey.......

Well, I've decided to log in again, contrary to my atty's advice. As long as I am talking about myself, I see no harm in posting.

It's been three months since the devastating breakup with my husband. Three very hard months. I have been living on my own for the past two months and have had a difficult time adjusting. I eventually had a complete breakdown and landed up in hospital for two weeks. I finally returned home on Friday 24th July.

Whilst in hospital it was discovered that there is a problem with my left breast. I am seeing a specialist breast surgeon tomorrow for a deeper examination.

The past 7 months of my life have been the most terrible.... let's see....

The *news* about SD2
A car accident
Home renovations
The loss of my husband
Unsuccessful employment search
The death of my grandmother
A broken down car
A brokendown me
Hospitalisation for two weeks.... and now
My Tit!

But you know what! I am better than I have been in a long time. If I can get through the next fase (divorce and tit problem) I know that I am capable of handling ANYTHING that life throws at me. I am stronger and more determined than ever before to be the best woman I can be.... Nothing can stand in my way.

I will gladly accept things that I cannot change but God dammit; I will work on things that are in my power to change. And that is that!

ETA: Oh! And the good news is that I do not have any personality disorders and I am not bi-polar.

So glad to hear from you, we have been wondering how you have been doing. My husband left me for another woman almost 20 years ago. Less than 6 months after he left, I was diagnosed w/ovarian cancer. At the time I was sure I couldn't handle one more thing, but I did and have been cancer free ever since. You are stronger than I ever was, so no doubt you will beat this too.

I am so proud of you!

I was just asking about you last week! I think about you often. You are a very strong woman for enduring all the crap you did with that man for 10 years in addition to everything else life has thrown at you. Have you been able to get some sailing in between all of the bad stuff?

Sailor, glad to "see" you. I've been thinking of you. Congratulations on developing your inner emotional core. Good news on the bipolar front, etc. Good luck on the breast issue --- I've done the needle biopsy & partial lumpectomy thing with great results. I think your previous life was detrimental to your health.

Talk about rediscovering and recreating yourself. Good for you.

Keep us updated.

You know, I just thought this morning about making a post asking about you and if anyone knew how you were doing...
