Blog Rut

I am in the biggest rut ever! January rut? Blog rut?  I don’t know but I have been trying to dig myself out. It helps to read your posts and 2010 words. You always inspire me.

I am really missin’ your comments. I love reading them. They have kept me going this past year. Thanks for all of you that take them time and chat with me. You have no idea what it has done for me.

We are hanging tight for now. Jerry goes back in for his 3 month blood work in a few weeks, so my anxiety level is on high alert. It really sucks.

On Monday, I went in for my MAMMO, and they told me that they would send a letter to let me know the results. Then next day was crazy, so at 10 pm I checked my voice mail and it was the nurse from my doctor’s office. She told me that she needed to go ever my results! I figured that since they were calling so fast, that they had found something. That was the longest night EVER! It all turned out ok, but my mind and heart keeps going to my sweet hubby. He lives with that daily. I have been heart sick for him. It is ALWAYS there. He doesn’t wake up after a long night and have the nurse call him and tell him it was ok. It really made me understand a little bit of what he is going through.
