“But remember I am an engineer. We fix problems and, when we can't, we are a failure.’
Lol. Me too, but I blame it on management.
Since I am a very, very good engineer, if I can’t fix it, it couldn’t be fixed and it’s management that got it that fubar.
Which is why I took half of the management of our M away from FWW...

luna- yes! Exactly right! Ex was buying time to say he tried & to legitimize the affair. Can't say it was a complete waste. I got a clearer picture of him & that helped me to see I wouldn't want him back even if he wanted it.
I've done a lot of self examination & understand clearly how my behavior contributed to a marriage with problems. I will not make those mistakes again.
Why would I when there are so many new ones I can make?

"cosechando lo que sembré" = you reap what you sow I didn't feel well last night, just "out of sorts". Earlier today, a numbness and tingling started in my head. Well ToddAC, don't assume the worst. If I had downed a bottle of Maker's Mark, I would feel that way too. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Seriously, take care dude. Hope you are back soon. Aphelion, Help me out. How does the story go about the guy who gets lost in the hot air balloon and stops to ask for directions? Okay, never mind. I googled it: The Engineer and the Manager:
A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man below says: "Yes. You are in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees N. latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees W. longitude."
"You must be an engineer," says the balloonist.
"I am," replies the man. "How did you know."
"Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost."
The man below says "You must be a manager."
"I am," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you are going. You got where you are on nothing more than a lot of hot air. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in the exact same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault." 2much, I am glad the morning worked out for you. The only thing I can tell you is that it is mission critical to be absolutely consistent. Just try to remember that, no matter how much it hurts inside, your kindness is the worst possible punishment you could inflict on him. Your anger actually makes him feel better. You don't want that do you?

Thank you everyone for your well wishes. We got back a couple of hours ago and I immediately crashed. What is it about hospitals that makes you sick and tired?
I had both an MRI and a CT scan. I also gave up approximately three liters of blood. No bleeding and no "unusual" swelling. I guess I have "normal" swelling. The pain and numbness was traced to a scalp infection that resulted from burns to my scalp from the radiation beams. It is a laugh a minute sometimes, lol.
I was scheduled to get my first followup MRI tomorrow so today's MRI substituted for it. Unfortunately, there was no change in the tumor size. I was extremely disappointed but the docs told me not to make too much of the initial scan that it often takes more time to record improvements. Okay, but I am still disappointed.

Good to hear it was only your scalp.
How is your son doing? Did you hear from your wife?

Unfortunately, one of DS1's best friends died of a massive brain tumor several years ago. Great kid. I know it is hard on him right now. I just got off the phone with DS3 who is really upset. I think we all had high expectations. Maybe too high expectaitons, I don't know.
And yes WW called in the iterim. She asked what happened. I told her and she said "wow". Wow? That's all you can mutter? You know, it really ocurred to me tonight that her problem is she is really scared and doesn't know how to articulate it.

At least her first words weren't "how much did they bill our insurance?". That's something.

It's acknowledgement. It is a crack in the door. I think you view it too negatively given the source. I think you are both a bit scared and very sensitive. But you know me - always looking for that four leaf clover.

Hey that just reminded me of a song that I plan to teach the DDs and any of you with small children may benefit. It goes to the tune of "I'm looking over a four leaf clover".
I'm looking over my dead dog Rover
who I hit with the power mower.
One leg is missing, another is gone.
A third leg is spread out all over the lawn.
No need explaining the leg remaining
is hanging from the kitchen door.
