What is the hardest thing you've ever done?

[AreaCode707]

I can't answer my own question right away; I'm tossing a couple of answers around in my head.

 

[pyonir]

Moved to Arizona from Minnesota with no job and no family at my destination. Me and my best friend just took off.

 

[CaseTragedy]

deciding between girls.













also resisting that dell 400sc deal...:|

 

[conjur]

Filed for divorce last year (final back in Feb.)   And now doing the bankruptcy thing...a complete new start (even my job has me back at a salary I haven't had in 7 yrs.)

[MangoTBG]

I tried doing a brick, once. Drilled the hole about the right size...That crap tore me up.

 

[Bryophyte]

1) Called off an engagement to someone I really loved but couldn't marry
2) Gave birth to a 8lb14oz son with no meds
3) Gave birth to a 7lb13oz daughter with no meds
4) Hiked the Chilkoot Pass trail (aka Klondike Gold Rush trail)
5) Found my birth mother
6) Lost my Grandma, had to help my Mom with funeral arrangements
etc

Edit:
7) Dealing with the consequences of having autoimmune diseases: asthma, thyroid disease, chronic hives, psoriasis, early onset of arthritis, etc.

 

[ClueLis]

Trying to readjust after losing a year of my life to thyroid disease.

I think.. watching my kids make hard choices, being there to answer the questions that are asked but holding back on what's not asked for.. is the hardest thing I can think of right now.. my daughter is in the process of deciding to (or not to) go to australia for 6 months. I SO don't want her to go, it's so FAR! but it would SO be a good thing for HER.. if she decides she can.. it's hard to keep my mouth shut. letting your kids grow up.. I guess that's the hardest thing.

ok.. the giving birth unmedicated thing is the hardest physical thing I ever did (but.. you win, I only had to do 5lb8 and 6lb11).

 

[Brymo]

Math.

 

[dirtboy]

I got divorced two years ago... Starting life over again from the bottom and dealing with all the emotional back wash that a divorce puts one through, was probably the hardest thing I had to do.

I've heard that.

My nephew's wife gave birth back in Mar. and had a kidney stone back in May. She said she'd take giving birth over the kidney stone *any* day!

fortunately, I can't argue that! I expect duration of labor, position of baby and duration of stone-passage would have to figure in to the equation..

probably I would lose. still.. the question was hardest thing YOU've done.. yes?

(had the babies on purpose.. rather skip kidney stones, if I get a choice..)

Why would you be single forever? You seem like a great guy. Yeah, I know you have bad medical problems, but that isn't the only thing about you.

Thanks. I'm sure it'll come someday...I'm just impatient...and it sucks because the majority of people seem to assume that the disabled aren't interested in or capable of relationship...its not even considered it seems.
