Dying Man’s Daily Journal – Vi is home

I am so very happy to say, Vi is home and is doing well. Plumbing is working well so the thoughts of the self-catheterization is past, I think. Pain was a bit of an issue last night, but even as early as this morning she says it is much better. I thank all for the prayers, kind thoughts and well wishes. Vi herself will be responding to many of these comments herself over the next few days.

I have always thought of myself as a relatively positive thinker at least when it comes to my own issues. I realize, I allowed my thoughts to wander off that path with this whole situation. I think it really started when I attended the pre-op appointment with Vi. I now really realize and appreciate all that they were pointing out was worst case scenarios which are really issues we should be prepared to deal with, should they arise. Learning all of this, together with knowing Vi’s history of hemorrhaging, infections, etc. all got my mind wandering off in a negative manner. This is never a good thing to allow our minds to do. When I say allow our minds to do, that is exactly what I mean. I allowed it to happen.

How pointless is it to allow ourself to become stressed out over something that “MAY” happen in the future. OK, there is a small chance it “MAY” happen but there is a much much greater chance it “MAY NOT”. All my worry and stress, time wasted needlessly, pointlessly. It is true the surgery was only yesterday, so she is far from healed but my mind is much more at ease.

Vi is like the energizer bunny just full of energy and always wanting to be on the move. Now will come my big challenge in keeping her slowed down. I am sure she will be for the next few days but after that, hmm.

As, I said, Vi will be responding to the comments left over the past few days. But, I have to say I got quite a chuckle out of the thought of me actually wearing a mini skirt and all. That would really be a scary sight, so I am sure it is to the relief of all to learn, I am just not ever going to be actually doing that. It is kind of fun to joke about, but lets face it ladies look so,so much better dressed in such clothing. I  gladly step aside to allow them the sole honor of doing so. (phew, sure glad I dodged that one)  A sight like that I am sure would give even me nightmares, yikes.
