[TBI/PTSD]

Hi all, I told the park service that I just can't go into DC everyday. Maybe someday. Maybe not ever. I am however willing to try working in the park; I'll pick up trash, whatever they want me to do. I also decided to contact a dog trainer to help me with Trip and his protectiveness because I get every anxious when we have a growling incident.

Yesterday I ran into another one of my ex husbands best friends. I kept my sunglasses on and was able to avoid him until the dentist called me in. I also ran into a LtCol I used to work with. I told him my story. Then low and behold my former boss, a Major General appeared and I told her I was getting med boarded and lost my bearing and started to cry. Aaaahhhh I don't have any bearing anymore and that is ok.

Still waiting to hear from the vet on Trip, one minute at a time.

aww geez!!!!

so much and such big muches (horrible English i know but i'm not in any mood to fix it my brain hurts today - migraine.)

but you know you are right one minute at a time. and also you are doing one thing at a time. your post is organized. i don't know if you feel organized. i sure would feel overwhelmed but it sounds like you are taking care of things.

good job taking care of things bing bing bing. job, dentist, dog-trainer, etc.

i wish there were a way to avoid running into all these people from your past.

are you living in the same area you used to live before? have you considered a relo? assuming it's doable $wise, i realize that you may have considered it and decided against. i do realize that it might be very difficult for you ... it is a lot of stress for one. for two, i wonder if perhaps better to have the good familiar stuff around you even if it means the bad familiar comes with it. but i thought i'd just toss it out there.

take care. was checking in for news about Trip mostly. I continue to focus on a good outcome of the tests and send good vibes for Trip.

(((hugs))) to you Hilary.

I wish there were a way to wisk all the friends of your ex out of your
life. But I just don't see a way.

I know the feeling well. My daughter-in-law has a person that is
in her past like this too. Technically he finds ways to get in her
life now. But he isn't supposed to be just like in your case.

Luckily in her case, we have a very little town. That knows the whole
sorried awful story, and if he starts anything at all. They call the local
town marshall. And he just shows up and takes care of the guy.

But you luckily you have Trip, and he will take care of you. See that is
what you have to remember. The anxiety of seeing his friends isn't going away, but it will make you stronger.

So right now, lets concentrate on him, and keeping him safe and healthy.
Sending thoughts and hugs to you and trip.
Waiting on words for his good health.

Got. Call from the vet this am but had dr appts all day. In a nutshell they say it is from him licking it....ok, I don't really buy that because I am with Trip day on stay on and A) he isn't a licker and B) well, I don't have a B. they said to watch it and if there were changes they would biopsy it. They suggested that I put a cone on him....for what I ask? He doesn't lick it, I am the only one that is bothered by it.

So I will monitor it? I am not sure what to do I guess I don't think I need a second opinion.

On the ex husband. I am in the USMC, a very small community. We only have a couple bases East Coast and a couple West Coast, HI and Okinawa and Japan. Everyone know someone who know someone else. Unfortunately for me, I seem to be crossing paths with alot of people at once.

I took myself to 5 Guys Burgers and fries.....I I only go once a year and well, it had been 15 mos. it was so good.

I feel pretty good right now. Thanks for all of your support. Oh, yes, I would love to relocate but I can't until my medical stuff is all done, about a year. I want to move to a tiny place just like Dmom. I would like to work in astate park, in a bakery, something nice and good.

Have a good night everybody!

Hi,

Thanks for the good news about Trip!
I love 5 Guys too. Those are fantastic burgers.

Maybe the closeness / tightness of the Marines is good most of the times. At other times, the togetherness becomes a problem (kind of like a marriage I guess.
