Missymew Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Ellen, I'm so glad that you come here and let us know how you are doing. You are a valued member of our community, and I know that I like to spend a few minutes in prayer each day chatting about my friends and bringing their needs to the Lord. I also know how frustrating it can be dealing with health issues (especially multiple ones). Sometimes it seems like we take one step forward and then three steps backward.

Peachie Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 it is very frustating dealing with all of it...but I'm taking it one day at a time and enjoying life...I'm doing things I haven't done in a long time...thanks to my family and friends and online friends encouraging me...my whole life has changed...I look at things differently...Britt, Dylan and Hailey have me swimming every day...and I enjoy the time I'm spending with them...

Peachie Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 I was told today I may have to have more sugery...I have to go back next wed...but if I do it can't be done right now...I'm not strong enough for more major surgery....continuing praying for me...the load I'm carrying right now is getting heavier...is it okay if I'm angry, upset I just want it all taken care of so I can live my life and be happy...

havanaholly Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hurrah! It is, indeed, a lifesaver! Now there at least two of us "bionic" women (and who knows how many men) in the Forum family. :hugs: , Ellen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Good for both of you!!!!! My husband is having problems and the dr has suggested a pacemaker. Typical male does not want to admit he needs help and refuses to even consider it. I am doing much more now to insure he does not overdo it and he gets really irritated. Sigh! I just wish he would take some reality checks and understand that he is not what he was 30 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 hugs to all of you.... :welcome: And here is one right back to you it is tough to deal with such great life changing as this and I am just so happy to hear that you are feeling comfortable with all that has been involved in this!
