Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 Our company is being strangely silent about the whole thing. They have not issued any statement regarding the suspicious letter or the test results. All we know is that the hazmat team was out here and there was an article in the paper stating that it was an anthrax scare. I'm starting to get irate that they don't say anything one way or the other. The newspaper article said that the test would come back within a day. -dz- --- Jannewilms42@... wrote: > Ok everyone this is a nice one ok!! Terri how are > you doing??

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 Hi Jan, I haven't been home since yesterday...... Just got in...... I am not going to be on too much for a few days..... Thursday I go to The University of Penn to see if I am a candidate to get injections into the neck muscles, to keep my head and neck from these muscle spasms.... Won't take the pain away, but if it helps to hold my head up, I will feel much better without that darned neck brace.... They say these injection are supposed to freeze the neck muscles.... I hope I can get them and if so, I hope they work..... Tomorrow I have to go and get everything to take with me to Philly....... Wish Me Luck!!!!!! It has been 10 yrs. since I have been wearing this darn neck brace...... My neck is all long and skinny, like you see on TV where they stretch their necks on purpose.... Ha Ha Ha........ Well not quite that bad.... LOL Hope everyone is doing well.... I'll let everyone know it I get the Poison darts.... ;o Angel Hugs, Diane May Rainbow Dreams Color Your World With Love, Hope, Peace & Unity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 I know Dave...Maybe they feel the better left unsaid the better to avoid more worry when in reality they are causing more concern...The one thing I can't stand is for someone to make me feel like I am naive...That is one thing I am not...Let us know what you find out though ok?? Just remember NOT TO SNIFF your mail...hahaha..I know it isn't funny Dave I'm just trying to make light of it..Hey where is Dennis???

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Dave you can't let yourself worry over matters you have no control over...If you knew when and if Anthrax was going in your office you would avoid it right?? If you don't then you have no control and the best thing to do is keep faith that it is nothing. Our Hepatitis is something we have no control over either..We have to live with it and hope and pray a cure comes..Until then we should be grateful for the time we do have and appreciate our loved ones more each day...Oh oh..What is happening to me?? I have sent 3 e-mails without any jokes in either of them!!! I know I'm not slipping am I?? Have a good day Dave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Hummmm...Maybe Diane should be grateful to have a long neck....The kissing of necks causes such warmth to the rest of the body..Cuts down on the heating bill and raises the cooling bill!!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Hummm...Diane don't need any help being corrupted anymore than I do....hahaha....Diane that's why your neck hurts...It needs someone to kiss on it and it'll shrink all back in place and feel so much better...

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 I know what it's like to worry about you son..There was a minor explosion in a Plant near my kids and I panicked and hurried to the phone Dave..It's just a natural instinct but we are suppose to put our fears and weakness in him....

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Well, I feel that if it had been positive we would have been evacuated, so I'm not too worried about that. I'm just a little angry at the management of our company for ignoring the situation as if we didn't know what was going on. -dz- --- Jannewilms42@... wrote: > I think before they put anything in the paper they > should have reassured the > people in the company that everything was > alright..Dave I am sorry you are > undergoing so much stress due to this..Try to be > patient and let us know the > results as soon as you find out ok??

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 I guess we have to try to keep a light mood, worrying isn't going to do us any good. I provide IS support to our direct mail dept, so I don't physically come into contact with much mail. I think it's more psychological, just the fact that millions of mailpieces go through our doors every week. At least it takes my mind off the hepatitis... -dz- --- Jannewilms42@... wrote: > I know Dave...Maybe they feel the better left unsaid > the better to avoid more > worry when in reality they are causing more > concern...The one thing I can't > stand is for someone to make me feel like I am > naive...That is one thing I am > not...Let us know what you find out though ok??

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Thanks Jan, I know you are right, but it's pretty scary times. I am not worried about contracting anthrax. But we have 2 nuclear power plants on Lake Michigan. The closest one to me is about 30 miles, but my son is within 10 miles and I do worry about that. I know that it is all in God's hands, but in my weakness I still worry. -dz- --- Jannewilms42@... wrote: > Dave you can't let yourself worry over matters you > have no control over...If > you knew when and if Anthrax was going in your > office you would avoid it > right??

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Dave, I know how you feel...... I have the Salem Nuclear Power Plant about 30 minutes away and then there is one in Philly also. Now I just heard that our main post office in Bellmawr that handles my mail and is a main distribution center has been affected by anthrax. I didn't get the full story on it yet...... But it is real close to home now!!!!!! My husband also works at a State College near Atlantic City and The Far Tech center is a mile from him if that far away...... My daughter lives in Boca Raton Florida, where a lot of the terrorist were living......They were in a 3-5 mile radius from where she is.... Take are everyone..... I just got my xrays to take tomorrow and I have to get my reports together...... Sending my Love and Prayers to all..... ;o I'll let you all know how I make out...... I hope they can do the injections and freeze the muscles...... And that it works..... Send me some hope and prayers to take with me for my 3pm appointment tomorrow in Philly......
