13. I'm hanging in there

Thank-you so much for asking! Today is one of those days where I just want to crawl under the covers and sleep--for days.

Right after I first posted this, my soon-to-be-ex was admitted to the hospital with a severe infection in his foot. He stayed in the hospital for a week and was released with a PICC line for IV meds. He has been on these for two and a half weeks now and has 2 more weeks to go. It has been rough, because we are both ready to move on, but feel stagnant. He is unable to work at this time, which adds to an already tense situation. But, my mother was a nurse, so I'm trying to see this through a nurse's eye, since this infection could have been life-threatening.

I have no doubt we will get through this, but it just seems it will never end.
