hello friends

Heavy hearted I come to you all to apologize for not being here. With the divorce becoming final on the 31st of this month I have had so much on my plate and mind that being here was impossible. Since I didn't ask for, or want this divorce is ha**** me really hard. I just wanted you all to know I pray that each of you continue on your journey, with a positive outlook and the knowledge that everyone here is pulling for you. Kathy I hope you are doing much better... I know you have hit a snag after surgery and having problems with your potassium still..I pray that you will get better soon! My attempts to have surgery have been put on hold indefinatly since I will no longer have health insurance, and since I cannot work, I will have to rely on my parents to help me out.... surgery is the last thing that I can deal with right now... so I have to focus on other things now, and hope that someday God will answer my prayers and I too will be able to have this surgery. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers daily. Much love, Tina

Hi Tina, I am truly sorry for what you are going thru. I've been there 3 times and it never gets easy. Your time will come. Have you looked in applying for SSI, it comes with medicade. Check on that and see if you qualify. It's thru the Social Security. I am ok as long as I stay on liquids again, anything else and my pouch with the ulcer burns. I'm back on soups and sf Jello. That's ok, so don't worry about me, I've gotten this far, I'll be fine. You take care of yourself and see if you can get help. Also apply for food stamps, that will help you out a lot. If you are staying with your parents, they must sign a waiver that you do your own cooking, other wise they will have to use your parents income to see if you qualify. Keep your chin up, things will get better. I love you, Kathy

Hi Tina. I am sorry you are going through such a trying time. Keep your chin up. You are a wonderful person with a great attitude. This is just a trial that was put in your way. You will overcome it and come out better for it in the end. Do not let this prevent you from continung your goals in life. Eventually, the door will open up for you. Be prepared for it. Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. I wish you the very best. Misty

Huggs! I just want to say take life one day at a time. I was once slapped in the face with a divorce. I so never saw that coming. Anyway, I was walking a narrow road trying to take care of myself and my daugther. Life did get better. Now I see women in relationships and say to myself, I dated a jerk like that. Anyway just stay optimistic. I'm praying for you. I said I would never marry again. Then, I met a wonderful man who has stuck with me through think and thin and then some. He even paid for this operation when insurance wouldn't. HE saw my mother and grandmother who had heart issues at an early age. He is my inspiration. Ane even though he is a guy, he trys so hard to say the right things. You'll find something ( a talent or hobby) or someone who inspires you. Have a blessed day. Beth
