Family have been great. I've had some lovely cards from all relatives, both birthday cards and Get Well Soon cards, with lovely heartfelt messages. Did me good. Mom and dad, as always, have been golden. Coming to see me before, during and after the hospital trip. I've spent some time being angry at my parents, and gave vent on this blog once or twice, but I'm kind of over it now. It's like I've had a black cloud following me and that black cloud kept raining on people around me. It was either people from my old job, or friends, or my poor mom.
But the cloud has lifted now. I feel friendly and happy towards all people again and can only conclude that the anxiety of the impending operation (I cried when they wheeled me in to have the anaesthetic) caused me stress which I then projected onto others.
Even my two hopeless old friends can't make rile me now. One of them ignored my e-mail about the impending op, bt was good enough to actually phone this week. Unfortunately I was alseep ad she hasn't phoned back. Nor responded to my latest e-mail to thank her for the call and say how I'm getting on, but that's J for you!
The other J textd me. Unfortunately on the wrong week. I e-mailed her the proper date and I got another text from her a couple of days after the op. I got an e-mail from her this week too, to say that she was sorry she hadn't been in touch (but she had???) but that she had family issues. I e-mailed her I was sorry to hear that, and offered myself to talk about it if she wanted to. I've not heard back.
I shake my head at them both, but find I'm not angry with them any more. They are who they are.
And besides, newer friends have textd and e-mailed and again have sent me some genuine heartfelt messages for my good health. I look forward to being well enough to see them all again. I am, indeed, a very lucky young woman.
