Delayed emotions

Its been 5 weeks since dennis Surgery and three weeks since I went back to work. I was surprised when I noticed I was more emotional ( Army brat !) . I guess its a delayed reaction . I never cried when we got the diagnosis , I was just stressed and jumped to goal mode. Being a Store Manager I am always getting bad news ( ha ) and skipping to solution and Goal mode. I did this with Dennis , it was all about each step and what needed to be done ect. ect. ..The other day Dennis and I were out and he said the Cancer had him freaked out. He just had his Liver ultrasound and is scheduled for a colonoscopy November 1st. I think my body is finally saying its ok to be more emotional . The issue is , it show's up in the darndest place. I can be talking to a customer or an employee and some thing we are discussing triggers me emotional ( which is unusal ) . I am ok with it , and plan to do some things to work towards a relief. Writting , playing my guitar , getting a massage and things along those lines. I am a recovery alcoholic 12 years now and know its important to work on self care.
Well to all my DS friends , thanks for being here. Your on my mind and heart
