Default Getting Turned On

I'm not feeling well emotionally or physiclly and having a hard time with my thoughts. I had the VNS implanted and got a staph infection which flattened me. I had to wait two weeks to heal before they could turn it on. tomorrow they flick the switch. I've had more ECTs which I didn't want and just feel so confused and my memory is so bad. I'm just so worn out from all this. But I know what I have to do but how do you say goodbye to loved ones? I never had a chance. I don't know how this is going to feel tomorrow but they told me I wouldn't know it. But they also told me I wouldn't "feel" the ECTs either. I believe in miracles and I believe in the power of prayer. This just has to be the answer to give me my life back. I've missed you all so much and I always include everyone at NT in my prayers at night.

I liked reading this, BJ, and I'm very glad you believe in miracles and the power of prayer.



I hope the VNS works for you. You really could use a break!

I'm pulling for you.

(((((((BJ)))))))))))))
You are a strong, courageous soul.

I'm so sorry you are scared.

You have touched me.
Thank you for that.
I don't know what else to say except that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

(((BJ))) It makes me so sad that you are so sad and depressed. I continue to send you positive thoughts.

And I want you to know this. Alffe's words are truer than true. Everyday that I was at her house, she would mention you and talk about how much she admired you. We both do as does this entire community here.

It's times like this I wish we could all be together physically in one big community where we could visit whenever we wanted in person.
