Cindy, you have clearly been through a very hellish time. When the time
comes, there are special places in heaven for people like you. So glad you
have such support from family and friends. I
did too – nearly dying twice in the hospital I was in for over 9 weeks. My
floor social worker sent in a woman to massage my neck and back and she truly
relaxed me. When she left, she shut the
door and the nurses did not let anyone in my room until dinner. It was truly
a relaxing experience – at least for a while. I don’t plan on getting sick
again!

Jude, you are talking about stress. I spent part of 2010 and all of 2011 going
from the hospital to the skilled nursing facilities (SNF) because of a server
broken leg. I had more than 6/7 surgeries, was bedridden where I was not able
to raise up higher than 20%. That made eating almost impossible and I lost
over 30 pounds. I was told by my PC that I almost died 3 times. I have to
leave my dog and cat. Luckily I had a friend that took my dog and gave her
great care. I had billing problems with the SNF and they tried to refuse me
the second time I needed to go there. I had to have one surgery without
anything to put me under. I got to listen to everything in the operating room.
Lucky for me I have no sensation. I had no one at home to take care of bills,
etc. I had to figure out how to do that in the hospital or SNF. I am not
including the really awful stuff. I am a single woman and had no partner to
help me through all this. But I had many friends and family that put on the
yellow gowns (I had MRSA and was in isolation) to come in my room and cheer me
up. My stress level was very high. My blood pressure was very low - 92 over
47 on good days. Thank God the most of that is behind me. I had great
doctors, great family and great friends to get me though this. We all deal
with what comes our way, in our own way.
I will pray for Dave.
Cindy

There are about 16 of us who email regularly. I had no idea that anyone else
was even receiving our notes. If the membership is truly that high then I
expect more people to participate.

Where did you come up with the 16 number? I believe that about 100 people
receive the list emails.

Subject: [TMIC] Stress
Hello Guys & Gals,
How is everyone tonight? I honestly hope you are well and in good
spirits.
How does stress affect your life with TM? What do you do to alleviate
it? How do you fight it?
We just found out that my husband (Dave) has cancer of the blood with
lesions on his liver. He got a call from his Dr. just a few minutes ago. He
has to go in to talk to the Dr. on Thursday.
I am so worried about him. I can't get out of this damn bed to even
lift a finger to help him, because I have a broken leg.
What are some of the things you do to combat stress in your lives? We
are facing other things too that are considered major stressors on the stress
scale.
I really need your help on this. My TM is acting up like crazy.
Hugs,
Jude, Michigan
Here's to the nights that turned into mornings, with
the friends that turned into family...
