Events like this make it hard...

So sad, as we speak my baby, the love of my life is undergoing surgery on his appendix. I on the other hand, have a scratched cornea and can't see and am in severe pain. He says, don't worry about me baby, you're eye is more important; and I say, don't worry about my eye honey, concentrate on feeling better I wish I could be there for him; and he, of course, wishes he could be here for me. :-( Where is our f***ing NOA2!

I'm sorry, I think that is the hardest part of this jounrey is missing out on things where you know your partner needs you

Make yourself better so you can enjoy your POE to its fullest

I hope you and him are better soon

Good luck

It will still be a while yet. Just feel better, So far, I have been through 4 earthquakes in the region (not including Japan), a tsunami, a typhoon, several severe storms, frequent power losses, an accident where the motorcycle she was on had an unbalanced wheel, bus going off the bridge in the area, baby cousin died, lack of food, colds and flu, and a few other things.... life is not easy being apart when so many things happen.....

I understand how you feel. It took 181 days for our NOA2.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. If you don't you'll make yourself sick.

yes, my noa2 took 4 months. i would get frustrated because sometimes people get them quickly, but i wasn't one of them. my fiancee also had a major surgery and no one really knew what was wrong. his family told me like 10 different things. it was so frustrating, so i got on a damn plane, the first cheap ticket i found. i couldn't stand not knowing, so i understand what you're feeling.
