Oh, wow! I am so sorry you had to go through all of that - it sounds absolutely horrendous. Really glad that you had the friends there to support you, though, even if asking for help was tough. Here's to 2013 being much, much easier on you!
Amen. New Year's Eve I was like 2012 CAN KISS MY ASS. And to add to the fun, I've put on 20 pounds over the past year, thanks to prednisone and not being able to move. Yay. Some people say there's a reason I went through all that.. Maybe someday I will know. Or maybe shit just happens. Going to see a friend who is a therapist tomorrow to help me deal with the aftermath, now that physically I'm in pretty good shape.
I was just thinking about you the other day, that I hadn't seen you here for a long time and was hoping you were okay. I'm so glad to hear that things are looking up for you - I'm terribly sorry you went through such an ordeal and beyond glad that you didn't harm yourself, that you were able to get help. Hugs!
It was truly sucky, and you should have seen me in the hospital (lots of funny pics on my FB timeline). I was, when I woke from surgery, a COMPLETELY different person. My FB photo was taken from a melodrama I was in in May (sheer determination got me to stand and walk on that stage and I did a lot of stomping around onstage too, but I had a job to do) and I can see, in my face, the tenseness from the constant pain. But not any more!
I can't decide if it was worse physically, emotionally, or spiritually. God must not love us, as they say, because if he did he wouldn't put someone through something like that. But it's over, and yes, I am going to take this cruise, and drink drinks with umbrellas and snorkel and lay on the beach and eat whatever the fuck I want! And shop at the ports, of course.

If you have room in your SF trip plans, I'd love to see you both, but enjoy it either way.
