RE: appreciation

[Guest guest]

Hey Rose, Just wanted you to know that we "love" you, and that we are on your side. I proably live a little closer than Tracie, so I could probably be there a tad bit sooner to kick your rear end, if needed.. Problem is I can only see with one eye these days, so it will have to be a pretty big rear end for me to see it! Don't make me have to come up there! Joking aside, you are dearly loved and missed when your not here. When your emails get to much, which they do or mine does. Delete them, like you said and start from that day.. We certainly don't want to do anything to stress anyone out, so we understand.. We've all been there with you..Maybe its time Tracie pulls out her imaginary blanket again... wraps it around your shoulders.. and imagine us all 428 of us surrounding you, hugging and trying to calm your aching and hurting spirit..

We do love you!

-- appreciation

I want to thank everyone who responded to my letter, as well as those who are holding me in their thoughts & prayers. I made a little poster for my kitchen wall called "Good Things DO Happen!" I've been writing down stuff like docs giving me free samples, being able to sled with my grandkids, etc. I'm also adding the NS family, just to see it several times a day & remind me.

Like I said, I've lived with depression for at least 25 years, but this is the first time I've thought abot suicide so often and so analytically. I know how terrible the effect is on loved ones, whicvh is why I wanted to make sure there was so suspicion of it at all. Really the best thing I could come up with was running my car off a cliff, because I wouldn't kill someone else, was pretty likely to accomplish my goal, and it would be believable aftewr my collision with the telephone awhile back, just "spaced out." But there aren't any cliffs around here--maybe something else to put on my poster--so I was forced to keep on keeping on. Now my cousin Lulu is here from San Diego. You oldtimers probably remember me talking about her; she comes to visit every summer and is truly an angel for my mom & me. Her husband is in Chicago for some Navy training, she flew out to see him, then rented a car & drove down here (central Indiana) for a short visit. Something else for the poster. I think I could fill that page up pretty fast if I looked around enough.

I know that I'll still have ups & downs, but I believe I'm back on my path. Someone warned about higher risk of suicide when you are feeling better, and that's often true. People who are deeply depressed often don't have the energy to act, and when they start to feel a little better, they may then do something. I have some people now to be accountable to--my doctor, who I'm seeing again tomorrow; Lulu; and you wonderful people!

The next couple of days will be really hectic, with everyone trying to get over to see Lulu, so if I'm absent don't start worrying about me. She'll be driving back to Chicago Friday afternoon, then I'll hit the ol' keyboard. I'm attempting to attach a photo of my angelic cousin Lulu.

Hi Rose - this is your buddy from Southern Indiana.....:-) and I CAN get to you

to kick your rear end! :-) Really, you have a lot to live for and deep down you

know that. I know it is hard when you are not well -- do not feel like getting out

of bed -- miss the " good old days " when you were well -- and etc, but we all

know how that is. We love you and NEED you so you keep that in mind and

fight those " monsters " when they appear. I certainly needed your visits when I

was in the hospital and altho I was not aware that you were there, my family

told me about it and the kids kept a record book so I know you were there. They

were happy to get to meet you as I have talked a lot about you at home. I only

wish I could remember meeting you! :-) But.......we WILL meet soon. I will

get straightened out and will meet with you. Until then, you get all the rest you

need, take care of yourself and know you are loved so very much.

Rose,

I am so

happy to hear you are feeling better, the poster what a great idea. I saw my

doctor today, and just lost it, the pain with this cold temps we are not use to

is killing me, he wants to try Lycia, anyone heard of this or trying it? Anyway

I have to wait for my insurance to approve it, so that will be sometime next

week I’m sure, until then try to stay in warm house.

So so

glad you are better! J

Marla,

If the name of the drug is Lyrica, I take and have for about a year now. It has had some nasty side effects but you know how we are we just keep going through those side effects. On the very last page of adverse reactions (that would of course be page quebillion and one), you know the side effect that .000001% of the people got. I got it, I had a bad cellulitis in my leg. That was treated three times. Now I have a bright red non raised rash over the whole lower leg all the time. I have some swelling and have had some weight gain. I still get the muscle tremors just like I did with neurontin. (you know the tremors that give your husband a black eye in the middle of the night.) And whoever knows if it really helps the pain, maybe it does.

Anyway that has been my experience with Lyrica. It is a normal medication so unless your insurance has to approve all your meds I don't know why they would this one. Then again perhaps I have butted in and am reporting on the wrong drug.

God bless you,

Barb J.
