This morning my friend's 2 month old daughter went into CHEO for major abdominal surgery. Just before she was born the doctors found a lump in her abdomen, that has since been diagnosed as a "Teratoma" - which is the most common form of cancer found in infants. I hope that the lump is still precancerous, and it has not started to press into other parts of her abdomen. If its free and clear of her abdominal organs, it should be a fairly routine procedure, much like my gall bladder surgery last year.
Two days ago a coworker of mine, who's due to have a baby on Saturday, went to the doctor for her last prenatal checkup. They found her blood pressure elevated again, and proceeded to give her an ultrasound. They found the baby to be really small (5th percentile) and referred her to see a specialist within a few days. We've not heard from her since, and we're worried.
Yesterday my husband and I got into a big fight, and it got REALLY ugly. It got so ugly that about an hour later, for several hours on, he was cold and calculating in his demeanor, as he calmly told me he wanted a divorce and I'd given him no choice. This went on the whole day, him telling me that he wanted a divorce, yet refusing to come home and talk to me about it. I was so upset I left work, went home, threw up, cried all day long, and wondered what was going to happen. I stayed in a hotel last night.
As previously mentioned:
Things that matter:
Health and happiness.
I spent so much time last year struggling against the tide with regards to my health. Now that I've got that back, now I'm struggling with the happiness factor.
Do all couples get this crazy? Why are relationships so hard? So competitive? So scary?

Hi.
Wow. I'm SO sorry that things have become difficult in your relationship right now. If it's any consolation, yes Phil and I had a couple of really intense fights in the eleven years we've been together.
I'm no relationship expert and I don't know the specifics of what's going on, so I won't try to make all wise with the advice. But if you want to talk, please give me a call. I'm in Toronto for the holidays, but I'll be back Sunday evening.
*hugs*
Thanks NT - I just got your reply to my post.. its been a week now and I'm really still rattled, barely sleeping.
Abby had the barfs on Sunday night so we're just getting through that.. she seems to be over that now. If it's not one thing, its another.
