D-day.....

My husband leaves for India on Sunday.
All I have left, are today, and tomorrow, and a part of Sunday. Saturday is being spent running all over, getting family photos taken ( which I will post later ), and going to dinner for my daughters birthday. I feel like all our time is being taken away from us, between last minute issues with the job, the health insurance, family, friends, and everything in between. I don't even want to sleep at night because that is time taken from us too.

Last night, I cried myself to sleep. I am finding myself more volatile emotionally the past couple days...
And I am so afraid of what Sunday will bring. No.. I take that back.. I am TERRIFIED !!!
I do not know how I am going to "willingly" take my husband to the airport, say goodbye, watch him walk away, and then LEAVE him there... how do I do that ? And then drive the hour and 15 minutes back home again ?

This whole thing is a waking nightmare...

One week left....

This was taken just last Saturday at my husbands "going away party/night out" with family and friends.

so we have one week left. My husband will most likely be leaving on Sunday, March 2nd.

I do not know how to process this. Before now, it all seemed like it was not real.

Well... reality jumped up and bit me in the ass today, when it hit me that this is our last week together for a long time.


Can anyone out there please tell me how to get through this ?


I really am not sure how I will handle it... and I am scared shitless.

I have been short and snappy today, not meaning to be, but I am becoming very stressed.

and unsure

and afraid.

My husband recieved his shots Friday. And after talking to the nurse on what can happen to him while he is there, has me scared to death.

What if I never see him again, because one of these "things" happens to him ?

What would I do then ?

How could I go on ?

It seems that rabies is rampant there. As is Dengue fever, malaria ( and now the company is saying he doesn't NEED anti malaria meds... WTF ???? ), cholera, Japanese Enciphalitis, omg, the list is endless....

He cant drink the water, eat salads, fresh fruits or vegetables ( unless the fruits have thick skins and he can peel them himself ) all because they grow their fruits and produce in....are you ready ??????

HUMAN WASTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes, you heard me correctly...

I am so worried about his health while hes there, I am sick to my stomach and so stressed.....and he will be 7,800 miles away...

I am trying so hard not to think about all of it because when I do, it becomes so overwhelming that I can not seem to cope.

Please, someone, anyone tell me how to deal with all of this !!!!!!
