I Feel Alone

This is the other side of my story.
The part where my heart beats are rapid, my tears are in my throat.
I am scared! 馃槩
I hope I can do for us as it is needed.
Living here in the woods and so far away from others.
Just the two of us.
Our buddy will be here for just a day or two afterwards when we get home.
What if something goes wrong?
Can I handle my chores, living as we do by myself.
I can push myself to exhaustion and keep going till I fall.
Done it before, guess I am a hardhead.
Nothing matters more than my life with my loving husband.
I guess this is the flipside of how and where we live.
I wish I was young again.
I wish we had a good neighbor to check in on us.
Sorry for the whining.
I do not have the privilege to be feeling sorry for myself right now.
Ain't no time for this crap that is running thru my mind!!!!
ok... I said enough. Thanks for reading.
Got our buddy coming in around noon today.
One more cup of coffee and I will swallow my fear and get on with my doings.

You will be absolutely fine. I have a very good "feeling" about your husband's surgery. But you will worry anyway, and clean your house till it squeaks. Because that is all you can do when things are in God's hands.

I think, if you are worried about growing old in a rural area, you should arrange for a call button to wear around your neck. I don't think they are that expensive.

@4meAndyouHello! I was being a baby this morning. Feeling sorry for myself and worrying if I can handle whatever. I can. But...lol.. I have moments that overwhelm me.

Yes, we have thought about a call button, but we are 45 minute drive to the closer hospital. I would drive us in before they could get here IF anything went bad.

Thank you! You are very kind. Means a lot to me. 馃挒

@Echoing You know that you don't have to drive if you have an emergency that bad. They will send a chopper for you.

@Echoing You, too, sweetheart, and your husband. May God hold you both in the palm of his hand.
