Outing To Some Old Friends And A Quandary

[Kim_Bitzflick]

I'm so glad it all went well. Congratulations.

[Dena]

Good luck Diane, sounds like a great relationship!

[Rhonda Darling]

Wow! You have been blessed with a wonderful friend/lover. As she said, the heart wants what the heart wants. . . . . .

Please keep us informed. Suggest that you be sure to tell her about us and this forum, including that you've given your friends a glimpse into this matter.

Couldn't be happier for you,

Rhonda

Congratulations on a wonderful day and its fabulous outcome. Best wishes to the two of you as the journey continues.

Beautiful! You conquered your fear of rejection and you were reworded in return!

[Diane Edwards]

I know this is just a beginning. Like any relationship there are bound to be pitfalls and false steps. I have no illusions that everything will be perfect. There is no such thing as life has certainly proven to me on more occasions than I care to count. It's the possibilities that are exciting, learning more about another human being that surpasses friendship. To quote an old phrase, "Everything that was old is new again."

I thank you all for your support and well wishes. I will keep you up to date as time and circumstances allow.

A Note: I may not be posting for a bit as I have two projects that will be taking up some of my time: one for work (a new product proposal) and one for me, that being a knee replacement. (Ouch!) Between those two things and planning to spend time with Laura, it won't leave a whole lot of time to post...though I may be lurking now and then!

Quite a couple of days, Diane... I really wish you well - what an extraordinary thing to happen... but lovely!

Not trying to take over your thread, I just had my right knee replaced 5 weeks ago. The first 5 days are pretty bad but it gets better every day after. In fact I'm wearing three inch heels right now!!! Also, hope everything in the new relationship works out for you

Thanks for the info about the recovery time. My surgeon said it would take a few days before the pain subsided. Fortunately this is not a total knee replacement, but something that has been needed for at least a year. It has certainly limited my running and that made me switch over swimming most mornings. I can usually get into the pool by 5 AM and I'm out about 45 minutes later before anyone else arrives.

Once everything heals up I look forward to being able to wear heels again! That's been problematic with my knee being all kablooie.

Now back on topic!

Laura and I managed to get together for lunch today and I have to say it was so different from our last one. I wish we'd had more time, but I had to get back work and she had to get ready for work. She's an ICU/CCU nurse at one of the hospitals near the seacoast and she's presently on second shift. In the meantime there have been lots of texts and a couple of long phone calls.

Diane, I hope things go well for you and Laura, I'll keep you both in my prayers!!
