well we made it thru a very hectic and heartaching week. on tues, the 29'th, i had my surgery. i am still not quite sure what all occured. dear hubby heard, a cyst had been growing for a long time, said cyst was not cancerous. upon the not cancerous, he was over joyed and stopped listening. so i am now on 2 weeks of light duty. hubby is taking very good care of me. the pain is not as bad as it was.

now as to the pain in my heart... on the 31'st i had to "put on my big girl panties" and go to check our grand daughter out of a short term stay center, then drive her over to yet another center. the last center is a long term residential behavioral health hospital. it is kinda like her last chnce to get her life on track.

she is mad about being there. has promised us the moon if we will just let her come home. promises no more thoughts of killing anyone, hurting the pets, etc.. we are having to a very strong tough love approach. none of us may go back to living the way we were living. she has some tough decisions to make. one being does she plan to continue to be a victim of her past abuse or does she plan to work out what she needs to and move forward toward a strong and secure future.

we are hopeful for her future. the center seems very good and comes very highly recommended....so off we go.
