Thoughts and prayers Kaf
I was sexually assaulted by an ex-boyfriend and am fearful that I'll never be able to trust someone else ever again.
It'll be 3 years in July. Thank God I have a bunch of U2 concerts then to take my mind off of it.
My 95 year old grandmother is getting a pacemaker today to help with her chronic fatigue and heart palpitations. I know it's a routine procedure and she's tough for 95, but I still worry. Any good thoughts or prayers for healing would be eternally appreciated.
my mother-in-law's lung cancer has spread to the brain and other parts... she is only 52
Thanks. She just got diagnosed at the beginning of April and she is going downhill fast. She is doing chemo and it is kicking her ass.
Cancer is a son of a bitch. I'm really sorry...
She's sounding well, from the last time I spoke with her. I might call her again today. I'm just so happy she's out of the hospital and that this proceedure may extend and enhance her life. I can't wait to see her in a couple of weeks.aww kaf sending buckets of happy, healing thoughts and prayers your way, and hers ~ how is she doing?
One of my uncles flew up there overnight; he called early this morning and said that my aunt is in the ICU and that the bleeding is in one of the temporal lobes. The doctors said that they can't do anything until the swelling in her brain goes down, and they aren't expecting a good outcome at this point.
Here's an update on my aunt. She's supposed to have surgery in a week to repair the damaged blood vessels in her brain; the doctors want her to build up her strength and there's a clot in there that needs to dissipate first. She's stable for the moment, but has had ups and downs.
It turns out that when she was born, her blood vessels grew into a tangled mass; when this happens, the vessels weaken with age and eventually burst, but there's no way to know this beforehand. She was at home and suddenly had a bad headache and started vomiting and feeling dizzy. My cousin was there and drove her to the hospital. The doctors said that if my aunt had been home alone, she most likely would have died or would have been paralyzed.
My uncles and cousins have been keeping us updated, and they said that she doesn't seem to have any brain damage, except her vision is a little blurry, and that she is awake most of the time and has even walked around a little. She still has her good days and bad days, but it's really a miracle that she is doing as well as she is, considering the severity of this condition! Thank you for your prayers; I believe that they really make a difference! We're praying now that she will make it through surgery and that she will be well enough to even have surgery next week.
