So to Thursday, a quick call to Hamish to see if he needed anything, a call to the electrician to see when the quote would be done then some research as to the shower, screen and other stuff needed for the wet area of the shed but not until I had been to see My osteopath as my neck and back were bad when I got up. Annette was the first link in the chain as far as I am concerned and I told her as much, she looked shocked when I told her of my plans, I don’t think she quite put two and two together until I told her I would be changing my name to Stephanie! She was shocked when I told her I was going to Philadelphia for the surgery but understood my reasoning, she asked why Stephanie and when I told her I think she felt sorry for me, I don’t want that, I want people to know what a good life I have had in the circumstances and that I have no regrets. When it came time to leave she gave me a big hug and told me to keep in touch and keep my bitterness about my parents in check and not to let it get on top of me, more to the point, if it does start to overwhelm me then to see her for some help in dealing with it which I very much appreciated.
