Thanks, but no, ythe picture is a Pixabay picture.
At the time I wrote this I was covered in self-pity. I had to write it down to be able to get rid of that.
Ever since I posted it, I feel guilty for the self-pity and the drama. Every time I read it, I think of you and Brian and I realize I have no right to dwell in self-pity. Okay, 9 more weeks (the thing is that I’m afraid that it will happen again and again, and that Inwill have to live like this for the rest of my life), but who am I feeling sorry for myself. It’s people like you and Brian that have real problems, not me.
So no more feeling sorry for myself!
I don’t have the right to (although I granted myself permission to feel sorry for myself 1 or 2 days in the upcoming weeks - lol). It’s an important lesson I’m learning, and that’s mainly thanks to you and Brian - it helps to see things in the right perspective 💜
How are you guys holding up these last couple of days? Is Brian still ok? Are yóu still ok?
I'm a firm believer in wallowing at your very pity party every once in a while, then kick those unwanted guests out and clean up the mess :)
You have a right to be upset with the unfairness of your situation! When I complain about something, Brian always says, "hey, I'll trade places with you any day!", but I realized that using that rationale, I will never be able to complain about anything, and there's something cathartic about complaining sometimes :)
The last few days have been an emotional roller coaster for us; we really are still shocked by it all. Brian is doing ok; a few seizures, but nothing like the one I wrote about. I keep trying to start writing my "thank you" post and I feel so overwhelmed by it all, I don't know where to start. I'm shelving it for tonight and am going to have a few drinks instead ;)
Today however, the bad-luck fairy visited us a few times. (Not in terms of Brian's health!) We had to phone Paypal and the woman at the call center messed up entering our card #, and we are currently locked out because we are in Mexico and it appears fraudulent. It took several hours to sort out an alternate plan and we did with another person here on steemit and Western Union. Paypal is out for now. Then tonight, Brian took a taxi to the bank and the driver held his phone and portable charger as collateral while he ran in to use the ATM. He got back outside to find no taxi. The police are looking through the bank's camera footage tomorrow to find the guy, but in the meantime, it's all stress he does not need.
So, that's how we are. Some good, some bad. You know I always try to see the glass half full, but today, I would have gladly had you make room at your party for one more :)
Sorry to hear all that. I hope it was just ‘one of those days’ and it will be better tomorrow.
I had to lol about the part that you would never be able to complain. I had some people saying the same to me: that hey wanted to trade places with me. It’s always in my head that there are a lot of people have worse problems, but what you say is is true: sometime one needs to complain a bit to get it out :0)
I hope everything gets solved quickly
