Writeleft, I am at a loss for words, but reading your message brought tears to my eyes, and this is happening to me for the second time to day. I know I am an emotional man, and crying a bit doesn't really emasculate me. But I was crying not only out of sadness over the news from you, but also for the realization that I can't be of any concrete help to you, except through praying and sending over good vibrations. I don't know how good I am with those things. No, I don't meant to see you purely as a victim, but it blows my mind to understand that you are a strong-willed person struggling with a personal battle, perhaps bigger than you might have expected.

Anyway, I know that a mind's force and power is huge, and alone through mental images you can accelerate your healing process. There are books about this, it won't be difficult to find them. You can create those mental images of yourself as a totally "healthy" person again even on your recliner. Breathe slowly and intently and talk to your inner organs (eyes closed) as if you could delicately encourage them to heal. Do that as often as possible every day. I feel that you will gradually become yourself again.

I think the advice from the others is also very commendable.

Keep us informed, will you?
 
Thank you my friends, for your responses. Today has been a little better. I was able to get to another doctors appointment, have lunch out, and do a little grocery shopping, with help from Chad. I have another appointment tomorrow, so I will use that opportunity to do some walking. The ortho gave me a set of exersizes that I am doing, however slowly.

Rose, I have been getting to and from with the help of everyone, family, neighbors, friends...I am very fortunate in that way. Thankfully, my doctors are all within a few miles from home.

Pendulum, I am sorry to cause you such concern. You are such a kind spirit, and your friendship and support are comforting. I appreciate you thoughtful words. This thing is bigger than me, and my goal is to move through it as gracefully and positively as I can. I believe in the power of positive thinking and imagery too, as it has proven to be so important along the way. I will actively practice. Thank you...

Love to you all...Janet
 
I'm glad you have people around you to help you out. It's ironic, the thing that is so shocking about your situation is that you're so young to have all these serious health issues, but that's the thing you have on your side also. You're young, you can rebound from this. Stay positive and keep moving, even if it's walking slowly, every little bit helps.
 
You are right Rose...I have too much ahead of me to quit now! I still have a son to get through high school, and off to college. I still have lots to do. I should be a good candidate for a transplant eventually...although the idea of that still scares the wits out of me.

Today is a new day. I appreciate all your support...these things are difficult to discuss with anyone, but it feels better to get them out here. Thanks for listening...
 
I'm glad you're feeling a little better today. Talk to us anytime, we'll try to help. So you have an appointment today.....I'm glad you're getting out.
We have snow here!!! Hopefully you don't!
