Best Friend's Hubby Died!
Hey guys! First of all, thanks for such great support about my mom. I almost wasn't going to post this one but a great friend, Kathy N. just sent the most beautiful prayer about this and it made me realize that I need them all. My mom is better...thank you all for prayers, I think that's what has made her have a miraculous turnaround. Unfortunately, my life is crazier than ever. I was upset with my little brother because he didn't show up for Thanksgiving and it's his first in ten years because he has been out of state and because it may be my mom's last. I even posted on my profile about it. Well, found out Friday that he is in St. Thomas with a staph infection and was unconcious until then. Wow, do i feel guilty. He is a heart patient and has had so many problems since last April...he has had open heart surgery and a stroke and now this...and he is only 31 years old!
Then Friday evening I got a horrible call. My best friend's husband of fifteen years, and a dear friend of mine for nearly thirty years, died suddenly Thanksgiving night. Visitation was tonight and I was with her for the entire time but the funeral is tomorrow and so are my pre-ops. I told her I would reschedule and she flipped out and said absolutely not and that her hubby was so excited for me that he would be angry if I did anything to jeopardize my surgery date. So, unless I get done super fast with everything, I will not get to go to the funeral.
I know this all sounds like a soap opera, and I wi**** wasn't happening, but it is and I feel like my head is spinning and I am going crazy. I am better today but I am still just so sad and so worried for everyone I love. Julie, my friend, and her hubby, Justin, did not have insurance so I don't know how she will pay for the funeral. It is times like this that I wish I had all the money needed to make sure my loved ones are taken care of.
Soooooo, what I am posting this for is to ask everyone once again for prayers. I ask for prayers for my brother and especially for my friend Julie as she buries her husband tomorrow. She is young and feeling that she is looking at a lifetime of lonliness. She is wanting to have wls and I pray this doesn't make that impossible.
Thanks to all of you for all your support...I feel blessed to have you all to turn to in times like this!
Dear Kym,
So much going on in your life. But as it has the saying we are not giving more than we can not handle. My condolences go out to your dear friend for the loss of her husband and your friend. may your brother soon recover from his infection and be very close to home very soon.
Take care, and hope everything goes well on your pre- ops as well as your surgery.

Thanks you guys for the support. I am feeling better today and am going to be able to focus on my three upcoming final exams and two papers due on Tuesday. Julie is still in a daze but knows I am always there for her. My brother had heart surgery today at St. Thomas as it turns out what was the problem was the dacron shield he had in from his heart surgery last April. It was infected and he has a bolis of infection from poor healthcare at a local hospital a month ago. He is paralyzed in his leg but they say it is probably temporary. He is sore but he is alive!!! Thanks again for the prayers and support...it means so much!
Oh, my mom is better but this bout has left her completely blind so she is having surgery tomorrow to see if they can do anything. Her mind is back to as sharp as it was before all this so we are so thankful. She is feisty!
