Yup - gallbladder-sized hailstones!!! LOL
Hubbie's operation went just FINE & he's feeling pretty good, so that is good.
Thanks for holding light!!!! and for your support. It means TONS to me.
At the airport my son & I had the LONGEST HUG KNOWN TO MANKIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was LONG!!!
& kissed on the mouth!!! "Gramma kisses" of course, but NOT on our cheeks. This kind of stress & turmoil has brought us even closer than we already were (which was pretty darned close)Their flight last evening (their time) was delayed so they left at 1 in the morning (their time) & arrived at 9 this morning here (7 for them) so they are exhausted. Had to pick up hubby & they got to visit their good friend for a bit while I did that, but finally arrived home around 3 & they both konked out!!!
He seems to be doing pretty well. He's still not right out of the dillusional thoughts, but knows the voices are in his own mind & is ignoring them. Can you believe that he decided he'd try a 'coupla beers on the plane to see how it went'
???!!! A COUPLE!!!! Fortunately, it went OK - he said that it made the voices not bother him.
He also said that he would not be drinking anything else before he sees our family doctor & asks him what he thinks! GAWD.Anyway, he has agreed to see his Case Worker with the Canadian Mental Health HOPE program tomorrow (Helping Overcome Psychosis Early) - what a great program. He'll have also a social worker, a nurse on hand & a psychiatrist.
All in all (the beer part aside) I'm feeling pretty good about things.
When we stopped for GF to go into a store & buy a toothbrush, she said to him, "Are you coming in with me Babe?" & he said, "No Babe, I'll stay here" & when she left, I took the opportunity to ask how things are between them & he said they'd talked on the plane & things are good.
That's a relief. I'm still not 100% comfortable, but I guess that remains to be seen, right? I'm trying to view it as everything being OK.
You're right....she HAS gone through hell. She looks pretty haggard in her face.
Yeah - isn't it amazing that I can sleep?!! But my little concoction of all the things I take seems to do the trick most times.
MAN am I going to sleep well tonight!!!!!
Thx Poet
