Welcome

Welcome to my blog. I hope we can help each other endure the pain of the addiction of a daughter or son.

Good Day!

Beth was approved for the Apartment today. She also had good news at the gynocologist. I went with her. Her biopsy showed that her cervix is curing itself. She had abnormal cells but they were not cancerous. Thank God . Praise the Lord and thank you all for your prayers! It is very important that she keep her appts. every 6 months but other than that she is fine.

She called me 30 minutes before her appointment to tell me that she was rescheduling. Her boyfriend's dog had escaped and they were chasing it. I said absolutely not. You must keep this appt. as further action in a timely fashion might be necessary.

She met me there and did not seem high or out of sorts so go figure. Probably just getting cold feet. I am the opposite. I do not want to hide or postpone. I want to hear the news so that I know what I am dealing with. Fear has always upset me worse than reality.

I am going on vacation tomorrow so I will probably not post for a couple of weeks unless they have more computer access than I anticipate in Panama. I am going with a girlfriend on a guided tour. Hubby stays here to mind his store and whatever issues may arise. We travel together in the winter but summer is his busy season so I make it a point to do my third world wanderings during the summer.

Take care,

Anna

  1. awesome news ! How great that you can know this before leaving for your trip too. I'm with you...same way....want to know what is what, even if it's something tough...but I then I can choose how to deal with it. Also glad that Beth was there, cooperative and clear eyed.
    Hope you have a great time in Panama....my daughter recently spent a month there and really loved it.
    Today was good for me too....our son got a job ! (not the addict son, his older brother...but it's his first "grown up job" after college and it's a great start. )
    Have a GREAT trip....you SO deserve it ! You're a great mom.
