Lonely Week

Let me start by apologizing for the mistake in my last post. I said I would miss Chris last week. I meant I would miss Chris next week...which is now.

Chris left Sunday very early and caught a flight to Ft Lauderdale via Houston. The flight from Houston to Florida was an adventurous one. He said there were 15 rows, 3 seats each row on the flight and it was EXTREMELY bumpy. He finished by saying how glad he was that I wasn't on that flight. Didn't sound fun at all. For now he is studying hard at the PGA educational center in Port St Lucy..or somewhere near there.

I have been doing as well as can be expected while he is gone. I have not had a bad headache and my mom has been helpful. I know it is really hard for her. She is trying to balance taking care of me, my 3 year old Donovan, and my ailing father. Tomorrow night, Donovan will spend 24 hours with Chris' parents. It should be a nice break for him and my mom can concentrate on my father. I am fine, but not being able to pick up Donovan or drive anywhere...makes it very scary if there is an emergency. I just do not want to be alone with him. Not being able to pick Donovan up is a very scary thing. And if I needed to drive him to the emergency room, I couldn't. I really do feel trapped. I can't wait until I can drive again. I feel like a teenager dreaming of his/her driver's license..and impending freedom.

I continue to have blood draws an average of 2x a week. No real changes to report. Everything seems to be stable. On the negative side, I am not getting a reduction in pills yet. But, I will take the stability any day.

4 more days until Chris' return..but who is counting. :)
