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! 😢
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.

I disagree with the people here telling you to just think of the people who have it worse and be positive.

What you're going through is properly terrifying. We've been through navigating serious health problems while living out in the middle of nowhere. My husband shared a lot of your anxiety. It's valid and understandable to feel that way.

I'm glad you're feeling better now but you don't owe to us of all people to be strong. I'm here for you as is, if no one else.

You CAN do this. The love takes over, let it empower you. ♥️

😢@SwampFlower I did too, think of you & others as others tell me there are worse off people than me. Which is so true!!
I wanted to shout out, and will now...
This is happening to us!!!!!! My loving man and I. My mind and heart is ONLY focus on us and how we feel.

If..IF something goes wrong, he is in the hospital longer OR worse happens...which I know, pray all will be just fine... I will fall apart!!!!


I have never in 63 years of life... loved as deeply or have been any happier than I am now in my life. I KNOW how life can change in a blink of an eye. And of course my brain and emotions are in full force, … it's like I am preparing for the worse and praying for the best.

(hug) You are awesome my friend. THANK YOU! 💞

@Echoing well, I think if someone doesn't have something more compassionate and helpful to say than "others have it worse" then they should just keep their dang mouths shut. My humble opinion on that. 🤭

My heart is with you two over these next days. Soon you will both look back on this and say "look what we got through together!" Those little celebratory moments of healing after are worth everything. 🤗🤗🤗

@SwampFlower How on Earth did you get so smart at an young age? ...lol.... (hug)X
Thank you❣️
I have everything packed. I even got my own food going into my cooler so I can have it instead of the high prices at the hospital or hotel.
I am ready! I think.. lol.. sigh .. Lordy be! 😎
