Hi everyone,
I know I haven't been round much over the past eight months or so. I've been busy with health issues and work and all of that, but I have been popping in and trying to keep up with everyone. So, recap: I'm Joey, 31 in the UK and my SO is Scott, 34 in the USA. We've been together about three and a half years. I last saw him in April 2012, but contact is frequent through text, calls and emails and such.
Anyway, our birthday is coming up on January 6th, I will be 32 and he'll be 35. I knew something was going on because my dad suddenly downloaded Viber and when I asked him about he said it was a "friend" and knowing my dad and knowing Scott, I knew that they were planning something, but I didn't know for sure and I didn't know what.
Scott called today and I missed the call, but managed to get hold of him later. He was going to work on the 26th after a short trip back to Florida to see his parents for Christmas and he slipped on some ice, fell and broke his arm in two places. It looks like he's going to need surgery and that means he's not going to be up to flying here. He can fly with the cast 48 hours after it's put on, but he's going back to the doctor tomorrow to check whether he'll need an operation.
He called because the plan had been for him to fly out to the UK on Jan 5th, my dad was going to pick him up and then call me on the 6th and say I had to go and pick up my present...the only reason Scott was telling me was because he'd been quiet over the holiday period - nothing unusual with his trip home, but it was also because he knew if he spoke to me he might give the surprise away. So, now it's looking like he won't be able to come. I'm gutted. I haven't seen him in so long and although it's not a no way, it's a later trip when his arm is healed, I just feel like....blah! Y'know? I have wanted us to spend our birthday together since we met and now the one time it was looking like it would happen, this happens! I know that nothing is set in stone and it could be that the break isn't as bad as first though, but he's also in a lot of pain and has limited motion in his arm. I'm in a wheelchair and am unable to push myself and if he only has the one good arm, then he won't be able to push me either.
We have started preparing documents for the fiance visa and it's hopefully we'll be able to submit in 2014 and I am planning to go and meet his family and see him in the summer, just...so close and yet so far.
Anyway, thanks for listening and I'll try to be more active from now on!
Thanks
Joey

Life is really sent to try us sometimes.
