Re: Need more prayers!

[Guest guest]

Jen, you will eventually start feeling more like

yourself. You just need more time. That doesn't mean

that time heals all, it just helps a little. I am

sorry to hear about your grandmother and I will send a

prayer out to her. As far as your bleeding, remember

that the brown spotting means old blood. I am

currently having that brown spotting except it is

heavy like a period. I know that it is not an

emergency, but it still scares me. I think mentioning

it to your doctor is the best idea. I never had a

D & C, so I am not sure if that is normal or not.

Please take care of yourself, and you and your

grandmother will be in my prayers.

Hi Jen,

You and your dh and family are in my prayers and will stay there. I wish I

had the answers for you with why things like this happen, but I don't. You

know I have heard that saying too that God only gives you what you can

handle. Though I think God sees us through and I am catholic I don't

necessarily agree with that saying. For quite awhile after my ep I

questioned my faith, but I learned to let go of my disappointment in God but

it took a long long time. So we will be here for you always. Please take

care. Your in my prayers and thoughts as always.

Love,

Sheila

Hi Jen,

I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother. It seems like when it

rains, it pours. I hope her surgery was a big success. My dad had

cancer, so I know how hard it is watching someone go through chemo.

Sending prayers,

[Guest guest]

Jen, I am so sorry to hear your grandmother is going through so much. I

definitely will keep her in my prayers. Sounds like she has been through alot in

her lifetime and that she is a strong lady, she has alot to live for. As for

you not being there, you are. You know she knows you love her. My mom had breast

cancer in 1988 and several months of chem. and as of today she is still cancer

free. In this day in age they have come along way medically, and I pray they

can help her.

As for you, it just seems so unfair that you have to go through so much. I don't

know much about having a D & C but are you suppose to bleed that long? I just want

you to be ok. You are going through alot but one day you will have that happy

smile back but until than, we are here for you. I just wish there was more we

could do for you. Take care. Please let us know about your grandmother.

with it and despite my pleas to stop it, her children (including my

dad), until now, have wanted her to have the best chance of beating

it, so their answer was chemo. In March, she was rushed to the hosp

for fluid around her

heart. They were able to help her with meds. Yesterday, she was

rushed to the hosp again, and this afternoon, they did surgery.

She's out of surgery, but we'll have to wait and see how she is

tomorrow. So, if you can, please say a prayer for her for me.

I feel terrible, because I am not there for my family. I am praying

that she's ok, but I am just not there!

My grandmother is 75 years old. She raised 2 children, has 5

grandchildren, and has been happily married for 53 years. God

blessed her in these 75 years with things right now I can only

imagine! I have 2 children, but I will never get to see them or

raise them, at least in this life! I love my grandmother and would

love for her to be around for a while, but I am not as upset as I

should be that she's in the hospital! How selfish am I!

Beyond this, I started bleeding again today, well, if you call what

I'm doing bleeding! Please, if you get grossed easily, don't read

this...

My D & C was last Wed. I bled for only 4 hours, then nothing. Sunday

afternoon, I started to stain a brownish-red. That annoyingly

continued on and off for 3 days. Today, we cleaned my house top to

bottom. Before dinner, I went into the bathroom and I am staining

again, this time, a little heavier than before, and this time, all

brown. I'm not really worried about it, but it makes me nervous

because its now 10 days later and I was hoping the body was

recovering and preparing for o'ing sometime soon! I'm going on Wed

for my thyroid test, so I'm sure I'll talk to the dr then.

Well, that's that. I guess I am doing ok, otherwise, I am trying to

live, although sometimes I just feel like the old me is dead. I used

to be a lot of fun, I used to be happy. I just hope some of me will

eventually come back.
