How many soul mates are out there for any one person? So far I think I have found 4 for myself, there are my Luv-Luv and my Sweetie who are like parts of my being, extensions of my body at times (or me of theirs, that part can be confusing most of the time). There is my Dear Friend, who is like a missing part of my personality (my missing inner extrovert), and then there is my Twin, she is who I would have been if I had been born a woman, down to being poly and exclusively attracted to women.
What exactly does it mean when someone is a soul mate? Why am I thinking so philosophically right now when I should be taking advantage of this pain killer to get more sleep after wrenching my ankle last night?

My Sweetie
So anyway I went through what has to be most guys worst nightmare last night, my wife and my girlfriend met.
Not a nightmare for me, they hit it off as well as we had all hoped, it looks like they are going to be pretty good friends, not just tolerate each other. So now I have my wife (who I call my Luv-Luv) and my girlfriend (who I call my Sweetie), they both want me to stay the night with my Sweetie this weekend and maybe also do something as a big family group also. My Sweetie is starting to think seriously about having a child with me, the only concern there is coming out of the Poly closet to my parents and my in-laws. We will probably have to come out to Sweeties family fairly soon, her mom is starting to make noises about meeting me and none of us want to actually lie about our relationship. I will probably come out to my little sister fairly soon, I think she might be fairly accepting, and I am pretty sure Luv-Luv's little sister will not have any problems either. That reminds me that I need to tell our Dearest Friend about Sweetie so they can meet when DF is in state in July.
Fortunately there are some friends where coming out is not an issue, like the poly lesbian couple, the open triad and some friends who also happen to be in the kink community.
Arghhhh.. all the logistics of coming out make my head hurt, but I am not going to force myself to stay in the closet. On to a more pleasant subject, Luv-Luv was just given a mid-range KitchenAide stand mixer, we are already prioritizing the purchase of additional attachments. I can't wait to see if I notice an impact on her already good cooking, I sure like the results of the pressure canner we got 2 months ago.

Keep Buggering On - One of Winston Churchill's famous phrases, that's what I'm doing. I'm feeling a lot more controlled (and IN control) than I was when I made the last post, so the prospect of KBO is not as daunting as it was then.
So to try and get my account back on track....
Shortly before I left the hospital I had received a pair of foot braces to prevent toe drop, neat looking carbon fiber looking things, problem was I had not looked at them too closely, until one of them broke at physical therapy in late June. Turns out one was the heavy duty version, the other was the normal weight, guess which one broke? So I had to trek to the company that I got it from and have them replace the broken one with the heavy version so I had a matched pair. While I was there they also repaired the strap on the heavy one where the pop rivet had broken, wish they had been that thorough when they had selected them in the first place. By The end of September I had stopped needing them, still not much strength in the muscles that provide dorsiflection (upward movement) in my ankles or big toes, and I can only feel pain in my left big toe, the right big toe can feel some other sensations like cold and heat, just not touch. Good riddance to those braces, but they may reappear at some point, modded out for SteamPunk garb. In November I went to Hawaii with my dad, my reward for surviving, my dad's for getting through both me and my mom nearly dying within 5 months.
OK, since the last post on 5/21 big changes have occurred. on 5/31 I started chatting with Sweetie (as I am calling her now), met her in person on 6/8, then again on the following Monday, and Wednesday, and Thursday. The only reason I have not seen her yesterday or today is because she is out of town until tomorrow. Just over 2 weeks and it feels more like we have been dating for months, I have fallen for my Sweetie, and I think it really is love.
