Glenn,

You are right. The post had gotten way out of hand. It did seem like we were getting back on track though, and I was hoping we could stay there. But after a 2 hr wait, I think perhaps you are entitled to a touchy post or two! Hope the appointment went well once you finally got in. Are you still doing chemo? Hope it is going well for you. Take care,

Minnie,

I agree. We need to put this behind us. I obviously totally misinterpreted your meaning. And possibly you did the same with mine? Anyway, there are no hard feelings. As far as I am concerned, things are back to normal.

As to me continuing to come to the forum, believe me when I say I have tried to stay away. Sometimes the stories here bring me so much pain I don't know how to bear it. But, as many as you have said, we are family! Coming here was what kept me sane during Heather's ordeal and every time I try to stay away, I find myself being drawn back. I think, in a way, it is also a crutch for me. As long as I keep OCF a big part of my life, I can put off getting back to the rest of my life. I have finally admitted to needing help and recently went on an anti-depressant. I was one of those who could see the merit of other people taking them, but always figured I didn't need them myself. Wrong!!! I do need them and now that I have admitted it, maybe I will finally be able to move on with my life. I don't think I will ever stop coming here completely, though. It truly would be like leaving family and, truth be told, I am closer to some of you than I am to my own siblings. Well, enough of the maudlin stuff. I'm headed to bed. Goodnight all!
