Tearful Thursday

Thursday I had a very emotional day. I don't know why, but I cried more that day than I have in a long time. My nurse today told me it is probably from the Prednisone and the fact that I want to get up and do much more than I am capable of doing at this point. So I am frustrated. I just want to make it through this recovery time with as few problems as possible. Last night I had a very scary nose bleed, which took some time to stop and that made me a little anxious also. Today we went to the clinic and my platelets went down a little so I had to get platelets today and also my 4 hour weekly infusion of immunoglobins. All my other counts were good and my nurse says they expect the platelets to start rising any day. So I am counting my blessings and enjoying another crisp fall day.

    Hi Cindy,
    It's okay to have a weepy day.As I've told you before every now and then we need to have them . I always feel so much better when I let my guard down and have a good long crying spell.It gives me renewed energy to deal with what life wants to throw at me. Then I try to find something to smile about every day and I try to make everyone I meet or talk to feel special and I really do care about people.You've been through a lot and you will get your strenght back .Your just so used to always being in control and caring for every one else.Take care and I know God will keep you safe .
    Your blogger friend .

    Gotta love those weepy days. Whew, I must have at least one a month. I can't explain the thoughts that go through my head...You just feel so down and the tears start to flow. Hey, for me I could be standing there and all of the sudden I'm balling my eyes out. No warnings what so ever. What's up with that??? One more reason not to get pregnant, that's all I got to say. But kind of like Linda stated, those times allow you to appreciate the happy times and be able to appreciate life. Because as we all know, we're just human. Keep on smiling! Still sending our caring thoughts your way.....

    Come on, Bella! You know the worst is behind you. So you had a weepy day, it's past you and it was theraputic for you, I'm sure. You're uphill battle is over, but there might be a few platelet bumps on the way that they can fix. I'm certain most of us would have had MANY days, as you did on Thursday, way before now. You've fought so hard and deserve some days like that. Go with em and ride em out out like the "baby blues". "This too shall pass, my friend.

    Hi Cindy and Kyle,
    I hope your having a great weekend and all is going well for you.I think we could use a little more sunshine in our day's.I love the change of season but I need an extra little lift today.Yes you guessed it right I'm having one of those days when I could use a good long cry.Hopefully it will pass before I go to church because when I'm like this it's hard to hold the tears back and i don't want to flood the church.Thank's for being my shoulder to lean on this morning.Take care and I'll keep praying for you and if you can would you say a little prayer for me?

    Dear Cindy,

    It was nice to see you, Kyle and Marcie last night. Tearful days are all right. I believe that is God's way of helping us to clear our hearts, mind and soul. I would be remiss to say that all of us have had tearful days. Obviously your tearful days cannot compare to mine but I hope that it helped your heart and soul.

    If ever you need a break or a change of scenery please call me and I will come and pick you up so that you can visit our new home, relax for an hour and enjoy the spectacular every changing season from our great room. I own stock in kleenex and if we need to cleanse our souls we can have our own cry party. We also have wine, cheese, crackers, soft drinks and water!!!

    We know this is a difficult time for you and that nothing we can say will suddenly make the sun come out again. We wish it were that easy...Sometimes we just have to hold on and ride things out...to be as strong as we can to to trust that God has a plan (I'll be dipped that I don't understand it!) Know that you are not alone. You, of all people, have so many friends and family who truly care about what happens to you. We are blessed to be two of those people. We keep you in our prayers every single day. We know that you will get through this and that you will come out on the other side even stronger than before. But until that time, please remember that you are loved.

    Love & prayers,
    Ed & Cindy

    P.S. Marcie don't forget we need your help at the Halloween party - bring lots of CANDY!!
