Bad Day (reality check)

My life has been so amazing since surgery that bad days have a way of bringing me back to reality and causing me to crash...HARD. Today is a crash day. I have felt on the verge of tears all day, I'm moody and I feel sick to my stomach, so much so that I haven't been able to eat all day. It all started out with an emotional weekend. While we had plenty of amazing experiences, things just kept going wrong. The dog attacked the DVD we were going to watch on Friday night, then she proceeded to attack my glasses on Saturday morning. I manged to find an old pair (outdated perscription, but better than nothing) on Sunday, but I can't get in to the eye doctor until Wednesday ....so I'm fighing off the constant eye strain headache. Yesterday brought a bad experience. I was going to describe it, but you don't want to read a novel. Basically I was feeling "off" all day - almost blacked out once even (unlike me), and just was tired and moody all day. Today I get to work to get a call from my mother. A woman I used to teach with died last night. Unsure of the exact cause. But I know she was very overweight most of her life (she lost some in the past few years as she battled various health concerns..including diabetes, cancer, sleep apnea, RSD...something new all the time) and I can't help but think..had I not stood up and took control of my life and health, that could have been me. Her 17 year old daughter is my oldest nieces best friend, and has been like a niece to me herself since she was 9. My heart is breaking right now. Add that to a bad day in general (I can't get my glasses fixed until Wednseday - continued headaches for me), a toothache and the inability to force food into this pouch of mine and I'm just about fed up. Tonight is a "long" night for me. I have one piano lesson, my gym time, plus I need to be at my church for band practice (though I'm thinking of canceling out on that)...it could easily be 10 or later before I finally get to go home and collapse. Thanks for letting me vent somewhere.
