i was talking to my old college roommate, catching up on things. We haven't talked in a long time. She had a tough year, separating from her husband and it will end in a divorce most likely. It was good to talk to her. She asked how Maggie was doing , how the year went with her. I said"pretty good" really better than I thought it would. I went on to say the year was good because Maggie didn't need IV's or need to be admitted to the hospital. She said"that's how you tell a good year?!" I thought hmm "pretty much" Maggie needed anti for one whole month (oral) and two other sets of anti(only 2 weeks oral) Yup a good year. Guess we have a different perspective of what a good, peaceful year is. I was able to start working again perdiem and we recently got a puppy, all normal things people tend to take for granted. This year was good for us. Unfortunately, I always have in the back f my mind, when is the ball going to drop.

I agree, a good year is sooo relative!!
With Alyssa being just over a year, I haven't measured in years yet. But is it a good day or a good month, same thing as you.... well she isn't in the hospital and she isn't coughing, must be a good week.
I always am waiting for the next ball to drop too, because they seem to come flying in from left field when they do!!!

Isn't it odd how things are so relative? I completely agree with you. I would certainly agree that staying out of the hospital for a full year would consitute a good year.
The other thing I notice is that I get desensitized over time too.... each year it takes a little less for it to be considered a "good year". First it was not being sick at all...then sick but no hospital stays...then it's if they're only hospitalized once in a year, it's still a good year...etc.
It's amazing how people see things so differently...and how we adjust to our situations. And even when it's really bad I know in the back of my mind it could be much worse....
