Right now I am a defeated mess and why when I am down do I get another kick in the guts (figuratively)? I have discovered today that I need some more surgery, this time my left ankle and foot it never ends does it, I had a good run there for five months a really good run. I told hubby about it when we met to go down to school softball today, normally I would have held it all back until I received all the info, almost just as I was organizing a date for surgery, but this time I told him upfront he of course was supportive and then quiet and he asked me how I felt about it, first I shrugged it off then I told him I think I am really angry that these things are happening (again) but I am not angry like I have been not fuming and intolerant, its more just it isn’t fair sort of thing so it is sadness and fear more than anger,

You know I wonder why I am not recovering, because I feel like I have been “ill” for so long, and I have worked it out.

I won’t ever recover.

This is how life is and yes I need to change expectations in order to live this life, if this is what I want. I want to cry and let go I'm really tired of it all of this but I don’t cry, can’t (won’t?)

Your attitude is amazing. You have to go and have more surgery and you are not upset/angry. Accepting your outcome is just the medicine you need because we can't control things like operations and you are showing how we all should be when we get information from the doctor - be strong and mature about it. Glad you told hubby upfront. I am sure he will support you.

Go Keller!!!
