So true...these choices that seem on the surface to be utterly disimiliar somehow beneath it all fester up paralell emotions. <br /><br />I keep likening preparing for my MX with preparing for the birth of my kids.<br /><br />I consciously chose to be pregnant, used fertility treatments. Yet there's this wierd feeling sometimes during pregnancy like you want to change your mind, you want to stop the train. You unrealistically almost feel like somehow you can. It's the same with my MX...I have cancer, clearly I can't change my mind about at least SOME surgery -- yet I keep feeling like I can. <br /><br />Plus we're stocking up around here, cleaning, getting the nest ready. Only this time it isn't to bring a baby home, it's to bring me home...to be babied. <br /><br />Buying our first home was almost as tumultous as your situation -- my DH was the one ill and facing a major surgery at the same time -- one week after the moving truck left. But we made it thru and are happy in our little cottage. It worked out for us and I hope it does for you, too.<br /><br />I am wishing you and your G all the luck & happiness in your hopefully new to be abode. May it be a place of love & health for many years to come!Kayleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15347199277007746114noreply@blogger.com
