FP. You have a serious case of elephantitis...worst I have ever seen. It's time for me to write another journal paper ... Perhaps fot JAMA. We can call it something like "The etiology and treatment of the rare pink elephantitis among French horn playing humans of indeterminate gender".
Tee hee!

Speaking of medical, after a few days I caught myself doing what I always do when faced with emotional or physical trauma... withdrawing too far into my thoughts from everyone and everything. I had rustle up my courage to call the second doctor's office today for a consultation on options and scheduling a surgery date. I spent the morning saying the description and reason for my major procedure out loud to myself to desensitize and stay composed on the phone when making the appointment. My next hurdle will be tomorrow when the first doctor calls back to discuss test results further. Hurdle after that is next week for the face-to-face consultation with the surgeon. That will likely be a time of my inconvenient waterworks. I hate doing that; it's so embarrassing and I get so angry with myself. I wish I could do this damned surgery now and have the whole ordeal over with.
On another note: Rock, later this afternoon when I read that you did your awesome 3 mile run today, it pulled me out of my funk and back into the gym after several days of Pach slackin'. Thank you, exercise sobermate. I needed that mood booster. You're the best.

Thank you for your wise words, your guidance and for keeping us all on track. I hope you know that ALL of our thoughts are with you as you battle this infection.
If we can only have you part time, then so be it. Rest and do everything you need to do to heal the infection.
We love you.

Hey FP, seriously I was just trying to get a chuckle out of you!
Sorry to hear about the difficulties you are facing. It sounds like facing the reality of whatever is happening to you is very difficult! You will get through this. I know that even those of us who are very strong most of the time have our difficult moments. But I think I can say from personal experience that you will find a way to deal with this and get through it. Please remember that you are not alone! You have a whole boatload of sober May boaters to support you whatever happens. You can let us know what you need...whether it's cheering you up or holding your hand or reminding you that getting through this sober is a far better alternative to the other. We can be your strength when you need it.
If you want it, I can PM you my phone # if you feel that you need/want voice support.
Hang in there my favorite French horn playing pink elephant (you are fine just the way you are!)
Cheers,
IPad G-ma

Jeni, I hope you're getting more sleep tonight!
Jane, you are awesome and so strong! First you became sober and now you are knocking off those exams so well. Congratulations! I'm so glad you are sharing these great accomplishments with us!
Em, you have a lot on your plate right now. Change is rarely easy even when it is positive. You will get through this with the help of your higher power and your friends - especially our dynamite May boaters!
To everyone: this is a totally amazing group. The support on this thread is incredible and we all support each other

I won't clog up our thread with lots of my weepy surgery posts, as I know that the subject is not helping anyone with our goal of remaining sober. I also feel very strong in my sobriety now... I'm not sure where I'm going with this thought, except to say that I'm not good at asking for emotional support, nor am I comfortable in receiving it. With all of you, it provides a safe place for me to practice and test out many emotions that I've either stuffed away for decades or maybe never experienced at all. Here, even if I screw up, I'm still welcomed back. That's an indescribable feeling of security... and that is new to me.
