War and Peace

OK, I know it is a rather long novel, but it also seems to be a good way to define our relationship some days.

She came back from NYC and we have been doing well, getting everything ready for the big day, talking, all that good stuff.

She told me that now that this is a reality to her, that she feels a kind of peace with the world type feeling and wants to start over and not be so bitchy.... best way I can describe it without going into a long dissertation as she did... Anyways... things have indeed been better. No knife wielding, no knock down drag out fights. The house is in great shape from both our efforts (did a little redecorating as we went too, worked out very nicely). And then we got the phone call.

Because of a kink in the surgeon's schedule, she needed to move the surgery date. Fortunately, it was sooner than later. Now she is going on for the enhancement on the 17th and being unwrapped on Thanksgiving as the Doctor leaves the next day. On top of all this, I lost my full time job. (donations accepted, e-mail for paypal details :))

So here we are, in a bit of a holding pattern for the next week and a half until she goes down the NYC for the surgery. Now, though, she is also getting the pre-op jitters it seems. It all kinda hit her the other day that she is actually getting it done and all. Then she tells me how she found all this bad info on the doc, I went online to check it out and realized that this is nothing more than one or maybe two people who had a bad experience and are running their mouths about it. Thing is, I don't care who you are, if you are a plastic surgeon who has been working in the field for 35 years and is board certified, I figure you must have some small idea what the hell you're doing. Of course, in the course of 35 years, I also figure that anyone who tells you they were never sued is also likely to be a liar as well, especially in that business. Hell, I cut hair and I know what it is like to have people come in with unreal expectations and not get the point that you can't work magic.

So we are getting through this a day at a time, I'm working on trying to be down there for the surgery, but since we just had a stylist walk out, I don't know how much flexibility we are going to have here.

Hope this finds you all well and getting ready for Thanksgiving. I am trying to keep this updated more often now, especially since I only have the one job to tie up my time now :)
