22 days now. Just got back from a vacation trip where I visited with two of my sisters, they hadn't met me yet, and the visit went super-fantastic. They now understand me 100% better, and appreciate why I'm going through what I'm going through. They're onside.
PLUS, last night I talked on the phone with my brother - we hadn't spoken since December. THAT conversation ALSO went very, very well, and he's even talking about driving up to Montreal to visit me the weekend after my surgery.
Super-happy, but getting a "little" stressed about getting stuff done at work, and getting my shopping done. I cannot WAIT for the day when I get on that plane (Sept 10)!!
