We're 6 months in, how has the year gone so far, how are you feeling?

I've been feeling a mix of emotions. The birth of my child is probably, the best gift i could have ever been gifted.

Following that, I've felt quite lonely and isolated during my mat leave.

I don't know what I was expecting but definitely something different.

But there have been pockets of good times mixed in with the bad.

Someone from the gutter suddenly decided to reappear which in all honesty after 4 years, I'd like to think they would have moved on.

I find life and people kind of strange, when you think you're moving forward suddenly something happens to bring you right back again.

I'm taking all these situations as a way to grow. But I've been feeling really anxious about the next stage in my life in regards to work and developing in that area.

I'm not trying to get too far ahead of myself (anxiety inducing ) but I feel like I need something to focus somewhat on to keep me going.

This hasn't been a good year for me. I've had 4 surgeries and 3 procedures since mid February. I'm doing what I can to keep the anxiety at bay.

@PhoenixPhail I am so sorry to hear that 😥 How are you doing? What are the doctors saying? My wife had dental surgery yesterday. They put in three implants. She goes back this morning for a follow-up.
@Musicman Sounds like your wife got what she needed. I hope the implants work out well.

My last surgery was a success, finally, after 107 days of having to use a Foley catheter. There are more tests to run, levels to check. But, the worst is over with that problem. I'm hoping they don't find anything else.

Thank you for asking how I'm doing. 🤝

@PhoenixPhail Will they ever be able to remove the catheter?
@Musicman Yes. The catheter was removed a day after the last surgery. I'll most likely never need it again. And I'm so thankful. 🙏
