Re: alone alone alone justmenow: Thanks everyone for your support. I know you're right, it was just traumatizing last night to handle this on my own. I mean, what if I'd had a heart-attack or something? Not like the dog can call 911 or anything. I thank God it was only stitches and 3 inconvenient hours. It just kind of drills in the fact that I am alone now. Today is better, and thanks again. (Though my foot hurts like heck...)

Seriously, doesn't it feel sort of empowering that something unexpected happened and you were able to handle it? Believe me, it's just the tip of the iceberg. We all have so much potential waiting to be discovered. You are so much stronger than you give yourself credit for, and every new day is an opportunity to prove it to yourself. Good job so far!

Re: alone alone alone bendeceived2003: You go girl!! You did it!!
My hubby was always supportive when it came to stuff like that, and probably still would be. Nevertheless, I am alone too except for my 2 1/2 year old. I am so glad I have him in my life, and I am glad you have your puppy! Hey, they don't call them man's best friend for nothing! ( I really think that they are women's best friend!!!

Re: alone alone alone barelybreathing: I am sorry, I know it must be a bummer to not have someone "baby" you.
After awhile, you just manage......
At least now you know, you can handle it and you can manage things just fine....the next person in your life will be a compliment and not a necessity....
Hang in there......

Re: alone alone alone grober: Man, that is terrible. Squashed toes is the worst! You took care of an unexpected bad thing on your own. For that, you should be proud.
I can relate to the alone feeling you mentioned. I was traveling this weekend. When my return flight landed I was heading to baggage claim. Once you leave the concourse, you pass the crowds of people who are waiting for loved ones.
Seeing them was particularly difficult for me this time. This is the first time I've traveled since my divorce. Those hopeful faces waiting for that someone who has been away, then seeing their face light up with excitement when their loved one emerges from the crowd. The hugs, the kisses, the smiles.
I really felt alone (and sad) in that moment. The moment I realized there was on one there looking for me. It passed quickly, but still wasn't the highlight of my trip. I then reminded myself that if was still with my X, I wouldn't have taken such a trip, or have had such a good time.
I just hate the little things that underscore the fact that I'm alone now and wasn't in my "past life".
Take care.
