It doesn't make you a bad person at all, sj. It's an awful thing to have to go through, and it's not at all wrong to be glad it's over. It doesn't change how much you wanted the pregnancy.
I'm so glad you and vw get to visit today.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Uncertainty is a bitch. Having things resolved, even if not in the way we would have wanted, can be easier than living with the question mark.

You are not a bad person. We aren't meant to be stuck in hard times forever, and it is perfectly reasonable to feel relieved when there is a little movement past the hard time.

What Windsparrow said. Had the eye thing to today so will be succinct. Possibly laconic.

Thanks, everyone. I had a wonderful Thai lunch with vw, who continues to be an amazing person, and then I apparently need a very long nap. Luckily, we still have enough leftover from Sunday that only reheating is required for dinner.

sj, I'm sorry to hear the sad news, but am also very glad you had the support of vw to see you through the day. Much love to you and TCG.

Oh, sj, I am so sorry. Please let me know if I can do anything.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so glad you had vw and comfort food, and that you and TCG have each other. All my love to both of you.

Had my routine needle in the eye to improve my vision today. The good news: this round was side effect free. Bad news: slightly worse than last month and long term trend does not seem to be improving. Given how well I've controlled my blood sugar, it is kind of discouraging. I know treating retinopathy can take a long time to stabilize, but it has been well over a year. To tell the truth I'm freaking out a bit. I think part of the problem is though this doctor is highly skilled his English really is not good enough to tell me how this compares to other cases and what the long term prognosis is.

That does sound worrisome, Typo. ETA By which I mean I would find it hard not to worry, if I were in your shoes, not that I have specific knowledge that you have something to worry about. A vague worry is no one's friend.
