I feel like a jerk because really, I DO enjoy hanging with Georgia. I didn't mean to make it sound like today wouldn't be fun because she was AWAKE. I just meant it's hard when she's awake and tired and in pain. That is not fun.
But I really do have fun with her.
Also, when you least expect it, a visit from a nurse who is over to give your daughter shots can (like our visit with our PT the other day) feel like a social call. I don't know if it's just that I talk more freely to people these days, or if I am that hard up for human adult interaction, but I could get used to this. Last night, after the med student left, Alex said "That was nice." And it was. A nice social(ish) gathering.
Our nurse ended up staying for almost 2 hours because we were talking so much! I don't know. Maybe I don't give people enough of a chance. I think many people inherently want to reach out to one another.
I just didn't know how much I was one of those people. I never allowed myself to let down my guard enough before.
