Dog is my Co-Pilot
Thank you for your kind words; writing it down and talking with friends and family is really the only way I know how to hack my way through these emotional jungles I lose myself in. That and the love of a good dog (or two). My therapists have prescribed more cuddling and ice cream, which is helping a lot, and more ball-throwing, which I'm not sure is helping me any but they're happy, which makes me smile.
I have a new policy -- as you can see by the new intro at the top of the page -- comments left by anonymous trolls will be deleted. You don't have to agree with me, but if you disagree you have to be respectful about it, or at least funny. And you gotta leave your name. Them's the rules.
DH and I will be flying home Mother's Day weekend for a family get-together, in the works before the accident but solidified by it. We'll see if my mother actually shows up -- my Dad will be there and that's usually a deal breaker. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone, I only get home every couple of years or so and when I do, I don't get to see everyone since they're fairly spread out and you never know whom is not talking to whom.
In the meantime I'll continue to follow furry doctors' orders and curl up in the warm blanket that is the love of a good man.

What a beautiful, beautiful dog. My Jack Russell helps me more than she knows.
Take care of yourself.
I swear, my dog is the most healing influence in my life, and has been for the past 13 years.
Your doctor there is one beautiful happy dog. How lucky you both are to have each other.
Bailey sure looks like one happy boy...er, umm..Dr.
You KNOW that I totally agree, there is absolutely NOTHING better than spending some quality time with the puppies (or kitties, whatever the case may be)
It works WONDERS!
Hope you had an ok weekend, all things considered.
furbabies sure have a wonderful way of comforting us in times of troubles. I am glad your furry babies are creating a comfort zone for you. {{{{DONNA}}}}}
Nice Dr. you have there! Looks very cuddly, which would be a no-no at a real office, I bet! I'm glad he's there for you. -Kym
I like your new rule.
And he's a cute fluffy boy! Yes he is! The perfect doctor. I could just scrub him behind the ears all day.
I hope you are doing ok. I also was sexually abused. Mine was a relative 33 years older, and I have often thought that he will likely die before me and how will I take it, how will I react. How to offer comfort to his wife and children, or how not to seeing that I am fairly certain I will not be attending. Tough to honor your own needs and deal with feelings of sorrow for his family. Like you feeling bad for his twin. Anyway, take care of yourself first and foremost. I'm sending best thoughts your way.
