Kelly,

Thanks for letting us know. She is in my prayers.

Donna,

you are not a whiner, now stop thinking you are. We are a support group and
how the heck are we to support you if we don't know what the heck is going
on. So you need to let us know so we can be praying and such.

We all have our times. You are there when you can be for us and we
understand when  you can't be there becuase you need us. So talk to us ok.

We are here for you.

Virtual hugs from me and virtual sloppy, doggy-breath kisses from my
HairyButt Gang flying out from MO. to Donna G.

Leslie

Consider them launched as I type, Kelly, please send regards to
her. She has had more than her share lately.

Saying prayers and sending BIG HUGS to you, Donna!

Carole

Oh my,,, in my prayers and thank you.

(((((((((((((((((((((DonnaG)))))))))))))))))))))))  I am doubling and
redoubling my prayers for you.

We ALL need to focus on ourselves at times and those of us with chronic
illnesses should understand this more than anyone else, even though we're
often trying to distract ourselves by focussing on others.  This is a time
when Donna needs to concentrate on taking the best possible care of herself
so she might have better days ahead.

Donna, you have all the love in the world behind you.  May your doctors and
you work out the best way to help you feel better.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{donna}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}},
we always know you are there for us but now is a time when you need to
let everyone else be there for you.

Joining in the group hug.  With a reminder to DonnaG.  It might be more
blessed to give, but for it to work somebody's got to receive.  They have
the harder job is all.

Most group hugs need a center, but everyone gets a hug in the process.

Sometimes what you can give, the the chance for someone else to give.
Sometimes its your turn to help someone else learn how to pray.

Just a note for those who can find it difficult to pray.  Its a lot like
talking to yourself, either just in your mind or even our loud.  Yes it is
that easy.  If you aren't up for something long and special, two word
prayers can get you started.  "Thank you"  "help me"  "help them"  "show me"
"protect us"  "thank you"

Conversations are fine too. they can help us to focus the same way a
conversation with a friend does.  But the higher power you believe in or
even just want to believe in, knows what is in you heart and knows what you
need.

Jo

Thanks, Kelly, for this post. Thank you also to Squishy Jo for letting me

Thanks for letting us know, Kelly.

Donna - a few hours ago, I had the funniest scolding to 'issue' to you on
why you shouldn't hide when things are going lousy. Something on the order
of the difference between whining and sharing.  But the fog has settled in
on the brain and I can't remember much of it at all. Luck you.

So listen to your Jewish mother - Stop it!!!!! Playing the martyr is my job,
part of the ethnic description. Stop trying to steal my gig.

And this keeping it to yourself thing -  cut it out!!!!!!! We are here to
listen. Let it all hang out!!! Remember - that's why we went through the
1970's!!!!! Didn't you learn anything in those (puff, puff) encounter
groups?

OK - silliness aside-

Honey, we are here whenever you feel up to the task of actually putting
thoughts on paper - umm, electrons. Just know we don't consider what you
have to say as "too much." It is what it is. You are our guide in what some
of us have to go through on this road; your lane seems to have more hazards
than some of us have. But we still have lots to offer.

And for the biblical reference (we just finished the holiday which
celebrates the annual cycle of reading the torah - the first five books) -
one should not yoke disparate animals together because it burdens the
stronger and can harm the weaker. So those of us in the same boat, we are
the similar beasts of burden who can help you carry this load. It always
easier when the burden is shared. So when you have the energy to actually
get back on the road, we'll be here to be 'teamed up' with you.

Sending love, gentle hugs, and virtual chocolate.

Adelle

Thanks for letting us know this, Kelly.

Donna G, I am thinking about you and praying for you that you have a
speedy recovery and come out of this as good as new. You  have been
through far too much lately. Far, far, too much.
It is OK to share the burden. I think any one of us would take this
away from  you if it were in our power to do so.
Rest easy, and come back to us when  you can.
