A Year Ago Today Was Rough.....

A year ago today I left Sweetwater. I miss the town but not the situation I was in. I had been in bed for weeks with the  stent   from the kidney stone. It hurt so bad every time I walked or anything so I just tried to stay in bed most of the time sleeping. Of course that didn't help make the little pieces go away. My daughter Darla kept telling me I needed to walk around. But dang it hurt to move.

Anyway on this day I decided I needed to come back around family. Helping my son John pack up everything and go that day made it get better I think. It hurt to move but I had to help him. He had a friend of his drive me to Fort Worth.

After they left I was alone but I love my house and I just lay around and thinking about my situation. I had an appointment in a few days with a urologist . I got my next door neighbor to drive me there. They done X Rays and he said they were all gone. I was over joyed. It was very traumatic when they took it out and I had nausea for two weeks but I got over it.

It has been hard this year adjusting to being alone. Guy and I went back together a few times but it just didn't work out. We have a love/hate relationship I think. I never had one like that before. We still text. It seems like we miss each other when we are not talking.

I have learned to go places alone. Do my shopping alone. I even eat out alone sometimes. I guess you adjust to whatever life you have. Sometimes it takes awhile.

I spend a lot of time with my grandkids. I eat dinner with Jana and her family a lot. I do hate eating alone. I have my job I do every Wednesday and Thursday. Seven hours of driving is not easy. I take  a break at lunchtime and usually go to Burger King. That helps a lot after sitting in the car all that time. I get home after all of that and glad to be here.

There are some good things about living alone. You can watch what you want on TV. You can go where you want too. If you don't want to cook you don't  have too. But it can be really boring doing everything alone. With the holidays coming up and no one to share it with is not good either. But like everything else I have done this year. I will adjust!
