The Emotions….
Devastated is probably the best word to sum up how I feel. Devastation and disappointment. This round was going to be a good one and it was going to be my last and things were looking so positive, if only the doctor had listed to me when I told him waiting until Wednesday was too late. It didn’t have to end up this way and I think that is my frustration this time around. I am going to need some time to regroup and decide if I want to continue with any more rounds or not in the future.
