Home From Hospital; Or is Hospital Becoming My Home?
I think the title says a lot.
Maybe the details don't really matter.
Or at least the details of what happened to earn me another nine day stay in hospital. Suffice it to say I was very ill.
The deatils of how I feel about it?
I guess they matter to me.
I'm frustrated by my continual ability to succumb to illness, to completely lose control and to need to depend on others to fix it for me. I'm frustrated with a body that keeps letting me down and making this happen.
I know.
It's not my fault.
There is nothing I could have done to manage this alone, or to prevent it from happening.
But that doesn't make me any less depressed about the whole thing.
Oh man Caro!
I wish there was something we could do for you!

Awww, Scott, you're a sweetie.
Just the fact that there are people out there, that I can post this here and that you leave comments like this is helpful, believe me.

Seconding Scott's wish that we could help... and just wanting to say that in no way shape or form are you responsible for this. It's crap luck, pure & simple. I don't know if your mind works the way mine does, but I thought it couldn't hurt to say that.

Jumping in as third on the wishes to help.
But we're here to listen. Every day. Sometimes even in the middle of the night on a Wednesday, if needs be. We d-bloggers are of a hearty stock. Up until un-godly hours.
To help, if you need us. :)

Thanks Art-Sweet. I know that you are right.
And Kerri, one of the advantages of being a (minority) UK blogger is that un-godly hours for me are still quite social for you guys across the pond. So you don't even need to be up the middle of the night, just so long as I am!

Hi!!!
I went to London when I was 10 with my Dad on one of his buisness trips. It was summer vacation so I had the choice of going to London or stopping with my grandparents in Boston. I'm glad I went to England it was really cool. The trolleys in the Thames sounds pretty rough though. Is it far to travel to a beach?
I know it's kinda weird writing that I am a "bad diabetic" when all you guys seem to be really good with it. I must sound so stupid to everyone else and foolish. but i know i have a problem and i just have to fix it. it just seems a hard job at the momement.

Thanks again, all of you.
Kacey - I'm glad you were able to stop by. I can get to the coast from where I am in an hour, but to get to what I'd consider a worthwhile beach would take quite a bit longer. I used to live in Devon, in the Southwest, which has some beautiful beaches.
