So happy to hear that you're home! Any word on a diagnosis?

Get out of my head lady! This is how I feel too.

Just like I, and I assume you too, genuinely want to help the ones I love when they are in need, so do your friends, husband, and sponsor. I don't expect to be repaid, and neither do they. It's kind of like a favor in the bank, someday when they need, you can give.

It's uncomfortable for me too, makes me feel very vulnerable, and as a fellow super woman, I just don't like to feel that way.

Oh yes!

I'm so glad your husband has been there for you. This shows real progress on his part, and if anyone should be there to support you, it's great that it could be him.

I hope you and your family have a great Christmas!

Hugs!
