Andelain, I, too, think of you from time to time and have wondered how you are doing. I am glad you are well enough to be back at work, although I cannot say I am glad they have sent you back to Afghanistan. You have had a lot of heartache, and I think you must be one strong woman to pull through all of that. I am so sorry for your losses of loved ones. Take care, Andelain.

Thank you all for the moral support, prayers and dust. Every bit helps. I quoted this post, because part of it describes the way I feel. Not so tough at all, and I sure did crumble. The loss of my sweetheart and my longest time friend in less tha a year was a real hard blow. Even still after the time that's passed, I still haven't let myself really cry it out. I cry most every day, sometimes several times a day, but I never really let myself bawl it out. I don't think I dare, I think I'm afraid I won't be able to stop when I need to.
I still have at least one more revision surgery in front of me, should be fairly minor.
As for what I got, I was feeling especially down one night and needed a bit of retail therapy. Of course I couldn't get my therapy on some inexpensive site......
The stones I picked out are http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond_details/AGS-104050011055 and http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond_details/CAGS-104046079112.. Or rather, Jamie picked them for me. I had my eyes on a pair of D colored 24 pointers, but she told me how nice these 2 looked.
Oh, and I've pulled an Andelain since then.....

Look, if the amount doesn't make you cringe, it's not proper retail therapy!
Just out of interest, how long does the shipping take from the US to the sandbox, and does it cost a lot?

ElisaTeach, I'm not sure when. Probably after I'm done over here, whenever that is.
I hear you there, I went to a Louis Vuitton store the week after I finishes chemo. I walked out $3000 poorer!
Shipping something here can take anywhere from a week to a month, and it costs the same as any other US zip code since it's a US base.

You can't see me but I'm doing the Happy Dance here!!! 
On a cancer board I was on back in the day, the girls used to refer to the news of good numbers, great scans as a dance with NED
( NED being an acronym for No Evidence of Disease!!)
So Happy Dancing with NED and may you and he be partners for LIFE!!!!!
