Thank You Everyone

Well, after taking what I call my Pookie Cocktail (a mixture of drugs)...don't worry, they're all safe together as I checked with my Pharmacist, I feel better. Not 100% but at least 60% better.

I will never be able to describe how awful I felt. I truly wanted to die....seriously. I've been thru a rough 5 yrs and these last 2-3 days were pretty close to being the worst, my worst being the cardiac tamponade while fully awake & the colonoscopy fully awake.

"Thank You" to all of my friends here on this site will never describe the warmth you've all brought to me. It's funny, ever since I was a young girl I said to my mother that I never wanted to suffer but yet I have and somehow got through it. I still have a way to go to fully recovery but like Dad just said tomorrow is another day and with time I will get better. I often wondered where hope comes from as well cuz I seem to have an endless supply of it.

It's just amazing & uplifting to hear my computer do its little bell sound when I have an incoming message and know it's one of you wishing me well. For that I will forever be grateful.

Once I am feeling better and back to "normal", I need to take the time and go thru all the posts I missed to lend my support as I feel I've been taking too much lately and not giving.

I even called my twin sister, Lynn, (my only sibling) in Minnesota and asked her to come home. I told her that I need her and she's going to try and arrange it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if she doesn't come home at least I know she tried. When she left 6 yrs ago she broke my heart and I've never been the same. I'm going to post a picture of her so you can see how beautiful she is even though you can't see how beautiful she is inside too.

So once again THANK YOU to everyone who has posted a message to me as when you're sick and crying you feel so alone or at least I do and to know people out there actual care about me warms my heart.

Now I just have to muster some energy for my upcoming stress test this Thursday. :)

If you have the time, please check out the gallery to see my beautiful twin sister, Lynn.

P.S. I ate a banana and it stayed down....Yeehaw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pooks-

My heart just ACHES for you. I think of you often and say a little prayer for you. You are a source of inspiration for many of us in the midst of your suffering. Take heart and know that you have given so much hope to the rest of us and that hope will boomerang back to you and be there in your despair. Your body might ache, your heart sick and your faith puny at times, but you are never alone!

I'm so glad to hear that Lynn is trying to make a trip to see you. I know what it's like living away from your twin and how part of you is missing.

We'll be in touch soon.

*Super hugs*

Don't know what it is about bananas and rice but with my 'guts" I eat plenty. So happy to hear of your step forward. Keep that circle round yourself to keep yourself whole and healing.

My fondest love and hugs. Love ya.

Stress test?

by ElectricFrank - 2009-10-13 01:10:29

Sounds to me like you have had about all the stress you need. And a colonoscopy is a strange way to check a pacemaker G(:

best wishes,

frank

glad to hear you ate something and kept it down. Nannas are one of my favorite fruits, when I got out of the hospital last August I lived on bananans and apples and all kinds of veggies thought i was going to start growing roots. lol. Keep thinking good postive thoughts like I know you do, things will get better trust in god.

Dear, dear, dear. I have been away for the past few weeks on a road trip with my husband's cousin & wife from San Diego, so I did not see that you were going through such a difficult time. I am so pleased to see you are slowly on the mend, but feel for all you have been through.
I really like the comment from blueaustralia about the circle to surround you & keep you free from further pain & harm. You have definitely been through MORE than your share. I will definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers that things continue to improve.
I hope your stress test on thursday goes well for you and they can give you some good news. You deserve some relief.

Good News

by Wannabe - 2009-10-13 07:10:56

So very pleased to hear the good news and I want you to know I continue to pray for you, Pookie, and will think of you. Hope all goes well with the stress test, although I'm inclined to agree with Frank - you've had more than your fair share of stress already. Now keep niblling, little and often - and get some strength back. All love, Sheila
