Time for me to bid you adieu

off to the OR i go

from JoeUser Forums

He's home, JU.  I've been anticipating and dreading this for weeks.

Anticipating because I love him and need him.

Dreading because his return signals the start of a long and painful process for me.

Friday morning at 0600 I'll report to St Elizabeth's hospital and I'll let the surgeons do their best to fix what I broke.

I'm scared.  I think that anyone in my shoes would be scared.  I don't like pain, and I'm going to be in pain for an extended period of time.  However...it's 3 months of fairly intense pain versus a whole lifetime of pain if I don't go get this done. 

So, JU, it's time for me to bid you a temporary farewell.  The next few days are going to be hectic to say the least, and I want to spend as much time as I can with my family.  I'll be here sporadically, but I won't be writing any more articles. The next time you see an article on Life As An Air Force Wife, it will have been written by my husband, telling y'all that I came through the surgery okay.  After that....I dont know when I'll be back again. 

Be good, y'all.  No fighting, and no flaming - not until I can be here to see it!

Thanks, Baker. For the record, you're my favorite curmudgeon, and JU wouldn't be the same without you...

Hope everything goes well and you are back to your blogging habits in no time.


Thanks, Maso. I'm not sure when, but I'll be back. That's for sure...
