I did it! Like a normal person for once!
Last night I made it through dinner like a normal person!! I am so amazed. I ate, I didn't switch and rely on any inside people to handle the dinner and conversation for me, I stayed present the whole time (which was a little scary for me), and I even talked like an adult. WOW. I have NEVER done that before.

Hey sweet gal!
I got your phone message.
I hope ___'s health is ok.
Mom has been home from the hospital for a week now, and I've had no relief on helping her out...but my sister (spoiled and selfcentered) is coming to make breakfast tomorrow and Jen is supposed to be coming down for a couple of hours.
Mom is doing remarkably well.
She was readmitted for infection in her leg and after a week of IV antibiotics she was cleared to come home. Tues the doc took her off oral antibiotics too, because everything is healing nicely, whew!
Did I tell you Frank and I are splitting up? There've been moments for the past 9 mos or so, but I just let them past, then he started in the night after Mom's surgery and I had no patience and ended up leaving and going to Jen's. I've been back over just to tell him it's over and get stuff. I've been at Mom's with her sis who came for 2 wks since the 27th... We share her huge king size bed and that way I know if she gets up and needs help or if she has a nightmare, etc.
I'm saddest about having to get rid of my dogs :( when I sell my house after Frank is out 9/18-30. They didn't do anything wrong.
Anyway, I wanted to post and can't remember my ID so I'm replying and hope you see this.
I love you and think of you all often.
Congrats on the dinner!
You are an amazing woman!
Love always, Judy
