I am so very sorry for my behavior and hope that I can earn their forgiveness. At the very least I can make them whole, and that is what I am endeavoring to do now.

After kicking that addiction I fell into the bottle. Alcohol helped me sleep, as my joints all ached after the pain med episode. So I got help to kick the alcohol. Those two things (I guess), plus generally poor outlook and a Portland winter, led to a big bout of depression, which I am being treated for. Meanwhile, life without a gall bladder is not the cake walk they promised. I continue to have, um, episodes.
