So I thought I was coping OH SO WELL. I'm not. I suspect I will be swinging back and forth in huge swings over the next few months as the process goes on. I met with a physical therapist two days ago to discuss the process of getting a wheelchair, what I needed and i even got to try one out. And came home thinking "okay" which changed into "oh shit" after some other stuff (ok, well, Stu didn't get home til after 10 pm and hadn't told me what his plans were) and went down from there the next day.

Adding to my blues - ONE book from the library which was a sequel I hadn't known about turned out to be just about THE WORST BOOK I READ this year. I'd read a mystery a few years back which was excellent in a number of ways. Its sequel was SO awful -it didn't GET awful until really close to the end, though there were hints of problems all the way through. The resolution however was appalling - stupid, unbelievable, creepy and just plain BAD. Ugh. I hate wasting my time.

Then came the book I thought would really pan out - a sequel to one of my favorite recent reads. It was weak. I didn't believe one of the chracters had a change of heart, I didn't believe that the other main character suddenly GOT a clue at the last minute and it was a big, not huge, but BIG disappointment. I think I'm going to spend the next couple of days a) playing computer games and b) rereading stuff Iknow I like because right now, i'm way too blue to put up with another disappointment.

Have you ever been totally bummed by a sequel to a book you really liked?
