Oh dear! I just found this...been gone almost a week now.

I'm so sorry to hear you're going through all of this, Roberta! I hope you can find some calm in the midst of this storm. Please take care of yourself. You mean a lot to us.

From Hawaii!!! Enjoy Eva. And thanks for the kind thoughts.

Not so achy today. That's a good thing.

I have an editing job I must start today. Not calm, but definitely a distraction.

Boidy, it's good to 'hear' you kvetching. Thinking of the song, Nobody Does it Better. You are the best and do New York proud, expecially da Bronx.

Sending you warm chicken soup, yummy chocolates and any flavor milkshake you would like.

Also a good feh and seconding the hef from down under.

Me too, Boida, I'm glad you're less achy and feeling well enough to contemplate work.

Diane, Milkshake? Not sure I've ever had one. Are they like malteds without the malt? Ice cream and milk smooshed up? Whatever it is, if it ain't chocolate, I ain't interested.

Problems with the work. Don't ask. I'm not even gonna kvetch about it. Just glad to be able to move my arms and take a deep breath without hurting.

Did I just say I'm not gonna kvetch? Oy. Now my mind is going.

Thanks again to all for the good wishes. I hang onto them with a firm grip.

Chocolate milkshakes are good.

Moving arms, breathing, also good.

Love you.

I've gone from agitated to numb to scared. That's where I am now.

Physically, I've mostly recovered from the effects of the surgery.

Sigh.

reg is right, Izzie. My appointment is Wed. 9 a.m.

Trying to stay busy. I've now got two freelance jobs. One is awful. The other one I haven't started yet. It can't possibly be as bad. NOT POSSIBLE. But regardless of the degree of awfulness, they keep me occupied, off the streets, and out of trouble.

I guess at the moment you just need to keep as distracted as you can.... which is crap - wishing the days away to find out something you either do or don't want to hear and living in limbo..... it's crap.

But.... there's no fast forward button girlie - so - work, distract, work, take a walk outside and people watch, lay down on the bed with cold wash cloth over your eyes and some calm music, sing some LOUD music to get out the shouting thoughts in your head, looking at photos, work, A2K, work......... and tho it's so, so difficult - try not to think of the unknown. Even harder - try to think real positive - there's a whole world here thinking positive for you if you aren't able to do that right now...

so posivibes coming your way...

lotsa love coming your way...

and... understanding how difficult this is for you - so hugging you too round the world.

Izzie is spot on. Holding good thoughts for you Roberta. May the horrible freelance job be distracting in the extreme.
