Hope that works out for him, Tep.
Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
May this be the beginning of having his shit together on a full-time basis.
I sure hope so. I'm still keeping myself adjacent to the fray, because I've taken care of too many addicts, and he is not my responsibility. (He's not really Tim's responsibility, either. But at this point, Tim's involvement is just occasional visits and phone calls. I have no problem with that.)
Good boundaries, Steph. You got this.
I support and applaud you in that strategy, Steph. Wise.
My hand surgery is tomorrow. I just had a bit of an "OMG! They're cutting my hand open!" freakout, but I posted in a local EDS group on Facebook and asked if anyone there had had hand surgery with this doctor (several people had), and I asked them to describe the whole procedure, like what happens when you get there and what they do before the surgery and what the room looks like and stuff, and being able to visualize it helped calm me down some. So, yay coping method!
Still kind of nervous, though.
Hand surgery~ma, Hil.
The hand surgery I had turned out to be not that big a deal as far as pain and recuperation time. Then I discovered I'd gotten lots of benefit and I've been very pleased that I screwed up my courage and went for it.
You'll be fine.
Good luck with the surgery, Hil!
~ma for your surgery, Hil. It is great that you were able to get such insight from other people.
