Why don't you go into the BP forum and see if you can stir up a chat with someone. I think Bizi said her hubby was gone fishing. I'd come in but Mr.Alffe just came home with a movie and wants popcorn....again! *grin

It really is getting dark sooner...noticibly. (((BJ)))

Pssst....who is Slim Shady? *grin (remember, I'm old!)

That's okay Alffe. Enjoy your popcorn and movie. I'll be fine. Slim Shady is Eminem who was locked away in a mental institution.

My pdoc just called and said one of my wires may have come loose from all the coughing. She wants me to have it x-rayed. I'm tired and I'm going to take a nice long bath and try to sleep and shut it out.

Alffe

Who's Eminem? Enjoy your bath!

Dear Girlie,
I hope that you sleep well tonight....do you want to chat sometime...The green light indicates when people are on line if they have that turned on. I will have mine turned on from now on if you ever see me on and want to chat.
((((HUGS))))

Eminem is a young rap superstar from Detroit. His birth name is Marshall Mathers.

he just spelled it wrong. we all know it's M&M.

((((((bj))))))

i hope you got some sleep.

i'm not trying to make light at all about you being "there" but there isn't the stigma attatched to it like there used to be. celebrities, polititions, us regular ole folks speak about it in the open. it takes so much courage to seek out and follow through with the scariest of treatments.



hang in there bj.

(((BJ)))

I'm sorry I haven't been here. I'm proud of you. I want to share a short version of being afraid to go 'out there' again.

When I was 28 I ended up in a hospital, far from my family, and was knocking on death's door. I was in the hospital for a little over a month. I was very very physically and emotionally sick.

When I got out of the hospital, it was very frightening. I felt as if I hadn't been part of the 'real world' for so long. And I felt vulnerable. It took awhile to get back into the swing of things. I was dealing with a lot of other issues, not the least of which was my daughter's father leaving us. I couldn't take care of myself and had to fly home to my family. It was very depressing on top of dealing with the ulcerative colitis and fighting for my life.

I tell you this just to let you know it's normal to feel so strange after being in a hospital for such a long time. Especially when you have been fighting for your life.

It will pass.

Oh...and Eminem is such a hottie. I loved him in that movie 8 Mile. I've watched it several times.

How's it going today BJ...did you get it xrayed? And are you still coughing?
Just wanted to send you some hugs and let you know that we're here for you.

adding my ((((hugs))) for you too BJ
