It really can be a beautiful word...<BR/><BR/>And you're not doing anything wrong... And there is no code to be cracked... And those of us who got through this have not committed some devine act greatly benefitting society (though I really would like to do that someday...)<BR/><BR/>And even though it's normal to feel this way -- that doesn't mean it doesn't suck any less... Don't wallow in it though -- vent it now and then and let people know how you're feeling -- then move on... I know there are a lot of people out there who love you, and want this for you so badly... I want this for you so badly...<BR/><BR/>Waiting sucks, Bree... Maybe that's why it rhymes with fuck -- who knows?!?! Maybe focus on each day, even though they're sometimes long days... Don't think about the length of the path behind you confirming how long you've been waiting -- and don't think about what's ahead of you -- just take things day to day and one of these days it will happen... You can't do anything to rush or influence the outcome beyond what you're already doing...<BR/><BR/>I waited for an unusually long time myself -- I had four false alarms before my fifth call... I don't know how much time I had left... I've been heavily involved in our hospital support group since I was listed -- that's over 11 years now... There's no magic... You hear, "it's when you least expect it", or "it's when you finally give up", or "accepted your wait" or "reached nirvana" or even "when I really wanted it" or "when I dreamed about it..." It can be all of them... I've seen someone wait less than 24 hours -- I waited almost three years -- I've seen longer and everything inbetween...<BR/><BR/>Get your handicap parking space -- you're on O2 (or at least often) and it's not simply a convenience -- it's not "folding"... And I hope that, very soon, you will not need that space...<BR/><BR/>I think about you often, Bree... Hang in there buckaroo...<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/><BR/>SteveBreathinStevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425167024998690437noreply@blogger.com
