My appointment with Dr Garland this morning went expectionaly well considering the procedure. Even though, l was giving a shot of novacane to numb the area
I felt the needle go into my hip
Stef held my hand through the whole process. I couldn't ask for a more supportive partner by my side
When I try to pull up my defensive walls, she finds a way to tear them down. Stef knows me better than myself, l know whatever where facing
We'll get through it together. She tells me l'm allow to feel what l'm feeling
My old foster mother always told me as child crying was a sign of weakness and l believe, for that matter l held my emotions inside and vowed to never let my guard down for anyone
When I moved in with Abigail and Nathaniel after they adopted me
I wasn't use to their love and affection
It took me a long time time to let them in. At times I still find myself retreating back to that scared little girl, l'm a grown woman. Some habits are hard to break. Stef was patient with me, now where back at the house. She's making eat lunch
I tried to put up a fuss, she gave me a look like she does with Nyla when she doesn't want to do something. Eventually l quit fighting with her and ate quietly. The medicine is slowly beginning to wear off, Stef hands me a pill. I washed it down with some water, it leaves a nasty after taste in your mouth. Stef told me it might make me sleepy, l don't like taking any type of medication even as a kid
I remember this one family l stayed with gave me the wrong doze of antibiotics. That cause me to break out in hives, later it was reported to social services. From that moment on
I swore to never take anything else ever again. When the woman was questioned, she said that she didn't know. She knew what the hell she was doing. I had a hard time trusting people as l got older, after we were finished with our meal. Stef made me go lay down on the couch in the living room, while she cleared the table
I kicked off my shoes and myself up in a blanket. Turned on the TV
Even when we discussed not having a television, in here. I find some boring movie on LMN, Stef came in to see what I was watching. I moved over so she could lie next to me, Stef removed her boots. I curled up in her arms the medicine was starting to make me sleepy, she kissed me on the head
Whispering I love you in my ear
