Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Hi All, Well, I met our Deb tonight! It was so great to see her. She looked excellent considering how sick she still is and all she’s been through. She said she feels she might have “turned a corner” yesterday. I sure hope so! I also met Ron and her daughters, and they are all such nice people. You can just feel how much they love her. It’s great that she has such support. Ron brought a couple of pizzas and we had a birthday party. It was awesome. I’m at the hotel for the night, and I’m going to go and visit her again in the morning before I head home. I hope everyone has a pain free night! Lots of love, Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 Carol, This is really great. I¹m sure your visit really cheered her up. What a wonderful birthday present you were to Debs. I hope it¹s true that Debs really turned the corner and soon she will be back with us. Debs if you are reading, you are very much missed. a > Hi All, > > Well, I met our Deb tonight!

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 Hi a, The odd thing was that I had NO idea it was her birthday until the morning I was leaving (because of Judi’s email – Thanks Judi!) I was going to go earlier in the week, so I could have Saturday with Stan, but I just kept thinking “No, I want to go on Friday.” I really feel the Lord led me to go on that day. :-) I was there with Deb and her family again today for about 4 hours and had such a nice time. Of course Deb’s great, and she has such a wonderful family. Ron’s a really nice man, and you can tell how much he loves her, and the same with the girls. We were talking about how we still want to plan our group trip to Chicago once Deb’s feeling better. It was this weekend we had originally talked about going up there, which is another coincidence that never occurred to me until now. There are so many people in the group that it would be so nice to meet. It was great after talking to Deb for so long to be able to give her a hug in person. How are you doing, a? How is the eating plan coming along? I want to get away from processed foods and eat a more alkaline diet. I know I could be doing better if I’d pay more attention to my diet. Now that fall is here, I think I’m going to start making soups. I actually make great soups in the crockpot, and it’s a tasty way to get lots of veggies and fill up on fewer calories. Have a great Sunday! Lots of love, Carol Re: [ ] Visit with our Deb! Carol, This is really great. I¹m sure your visit really cheered her up. What a wonderful birthday present you were to Debs.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Coincidences? I don¹t think so. I too believe the good Lord led you on your path to Debs on her birthday, the same weekend the get together was planned. Debs needed you to visit and cheer her up. I wonder how much your visit helped her to turn that corner. I hope we can plan a get together too, but if it¹s in Chicago I hope it¹s planned at a warmer time of year! It really is wonderful to meet someone you¹ve talked to for so long. Real hugs are special, but cyber hugs will hold us until we can meet. I¹m doing absolutely lousy, thanks for asking LOL! How¹s that for honesty? I¹m still suffering the consequences of getting rear ended the day of my husband¹s surgery. It¹s now been 4 weeks, and some things are getting better, and some worse. I¹m still having chronic headaches, something I¹ve never had to deal with before. It gives me a new understanding of everyone that suffers from constant headaches. Sometimes the guillotine sounds inviting. I¹m so drugged out on muscle relaxers, which have helped the pain but leave me feeling like a pile of mush and tired all the time. My doctor said it takes at least 6 weeks for this to heal, so hopefully I¹m on my way. I also have TMJ, which is dictating my diet at the moment. I¹m living on soups, so at least I¹m getting nutritious food. I haven¹t stepped on the scale since putting on 3 lbs, but tomorrow I will. I¹m sure I¹ve not changed since I can¹t exercise. So there is my tale of woe is me. I feel bad that I¹ve been so behind on email, but I¹m trying. Hope you get on a good eating plan. It really has made a big difference to me.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Oh a, I’m so sorry you’re having such a hard time! Stan suffers from terrible migraines, and I’ve seen just how bad a headache can get. And the TMJ can cause all sorts of problems. I will have you in my prayers, my friend, and hopefully you will be on the mend soon. Sending love and lots of ((((((((((((((big, gentle hugs))))))))))) Carol Re: [ ] Visit with our Deb!

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Thanks Carol. I¹m not getting migraines, so I guess I should be thankful. I hope you feel better for your speech today. a > Oh a, I’m so sorry you’re having such a hard time! Stan suffers from > terrible migraines, and I’ve seen just how bad a headache can get.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 a: Sorry to hear you are having such a time with headaches. Hope it improves soon. TMJ is really hard to deal with, never had it but worked for neurosurgeons and knew a lot of patients who suffered with it. Thank God you weren't seriously injured when you were rearended (must have missed that post). Anyway, hope you have a pain free day and thanks for all you do for all us.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Thanks Jan. The headaches are rough. I feel so bad for people that suffer from chronic migraines. I don¹t know how they deal with it. This too shall pass. a > a: Sorry to hear you are having such a time with headaches. Hope it > improves soon.
