Hello Larry,
I have received many messages asking how I am holding up.
Since Stephen's accident, I have dealt with a great many things; moving to Northern Vermont (this winter I will decide if that was a good move), which caused a great upset with a couple of my kids, but has turned out to be a pretty good thing, bringing our family closer than ever; dealing with doctors, surgeons and the gas prices with all the travelling I have had to do for them; being separated from my extended family....
But all in all, now that Stephen is progressing so well, I am starting to feel the effects of all the stress I have held in all this time. It is exhausting and was a surprise when the first effect of it hit me. I didn't expect to be so drained and so lost.
I don't have the motivation to take care of myself now that I don't have to sacrifice so much time to worrying about whether or not Stephen will make it, how he will do as he heals, etc.
Now you know how I am, how are you?
Your friend,
Lola
