I'm really sorry that you lost things that were significant to you. I have some "treasures" that I can't imagine losing. I have a whole shelf of stuff that I display in my room, including a terribly worn out winie-the-pooh doll that I got from my Dad on my first Christmas in 1970. Is that kind of familiar to you??
How am I coping?? Oh God, I am coping, but i have no ides how. It has to be God or something, otherwise I would have lost my mind. I've been off my meds since July 10, when I had my heart surgery. I've had several setbacks since then and I'm scare d and emotionally worn out. I've been cycling like a maniac, so I have all this energy and I rarely sleep. but I cry constantly too. I'm waiting to hear back from my pdoc because they actually have to have a meeting to determine what medsI can take given my medical conditions and all the meds I'm on for my heart, my diabetes and my GI issues. U think they might be waiting for the Pope to be available. LOL. - Mary / PaintedTurtle
