Hi girlfriends, Thanks for the nice comments. I haven't been on the forum in 3 weeks. I was doing pretty well with the PMR til yesterday. Not too good yesterday and today. The Procrit is wonderful. My blood count was up last month for the first time, but is not anywhere near normal. I feel so so good though.

I finally got the attention of the gentleman at church and he comes over every night so that's where I've been. A real funny thing happened on the third night we were together. In the heat of the moment I heard someone say, "I love you, baby."...and it was me! I said to myself, "What the hell did you say that for?!!!!", Anyhow, I don't believe my crazy self. So, anyhow then, I said, "Well...maybe I love you...I think I do." And hes said,"Uh, I think I love you, too." So, I said, "Well, we'll just say we do til we find out." So, that's what we've been doing. We're busy trying to find out.

I haven't been out with anyone since my husband died 2 1/2 years ago because I just didn't want to and it seemed stupid. God is good. If he gets ready to put someone in your life he will, and you can't do anything about it. My freind has a daughter that's dying of cancer. He said, "I know why God put you in my life." I asked why. He said, "Because I'm going to lose my daughter." It made me cry. You probably are crying too, by now! Why would God not give him a nice, sweet, churchy lady. Why would he pair him up with a never serious, crazy woman like me? He truly does have a sense of humor.

Anyhow, I love you all. Aren't you sorry you asked about me?!!!!!

Betsy, you are an inspiration to us all! - not surprising you haven't been
socialising with us much.

Enjoy yourself (sounds like you are doing.....)

MargaretGreat news Betsy!!! Glad that yo are feeling better and that you have a new
friend.

Take care,

H'mm, those injections sound like they have done the trick. I came on the forum just at the beginning of your interest in the young man at church.

Life is what is in the moment, I'm happy you are sharing it with someone.

Hi Donna, Nice to meet you. Thanks for your interest. Yep, I definitely think they put some testosterone in my Procrit. I don't know else I would turn into this crazy woman that I am! It's just great to have someone again, expecially when I had no idea I needed anyone.

Hi all you other sweethearts that make me feel so loved and special. I guess things will settle down after a while, but it's been like a train wreck or something. Fragments of my life just everywhere, and I have to find a way to pull them all together again. I'm happy and enjoying all that's happening. Love you all.

Thanks to all of you. I wish we could all go on a big cruise together so I could meet everyone of you and talk to you for hours. See if you can find aPMR cruise and we'll book! Love to you sweethearts.Lyn, what a sweet thought. I'm a very unlikely angel, but God is funny, isn't he?Wouldn't that be a roit. A PMR cruise. No Dr allowed. Betsy,

You asked why God would pair your friend up with a "never serious, crazy woman" like you. Because that's just what he needs. God knows what he is doing. And yes, He does have a sense of humor - and most likely appreciates your sense of humor, too!!!

I love your idea of the PMR cruise. Can I come, too, even though I don't have PMR any more? I feel like I have made so many wonderful friends on this forum, and I've thought many times how fun it would be if we could get together to just shoot the breeze. It would be so therapeutic, and I'll bet we would do much more laughing than comparing aches and pains and med. regimens. God love ya Brich, all the best of luck to you both, God does act in strange ways, but take what is offered you, your friend is lucky to have you at this sad time of his life....

good to hear from all of you again.

God bless all of you. Yes, Reni, of course,you will be on the cruise too. We couldn't dare go without you! Wouldn't that be just the greatest fun? I love you all. You've been a blessing to me. Many times I didn't feel like even writing on the forum, but you always made me glad I did. Have patience with me til I reenter the real world. I'm calming down a little more everyday. Love youBetsy,
You were really i a lot of pain before & you son't mention it now... is it
better, or are you distracted from it?

Either is ok I guess, it you are feeling better!

PGR, I was doing really well for a couple of weeks, but it's returned to normal the last 3 days. We're having reall soggy weather though. Lots of heavy rain and no sun. The darvocet really helps me when it's like this. Also, it always is worse when I work. Lots of bending and stretching. I had a really good 2 or 3 weeks when I didn't do much work.

I wanted to mention something. I am amazed at how many people read this thread entitled something about Betsy. Not even about PMR. You all make me feel so special. It's such a good feeling. Thanks, too, to all of you who just read and don't ever post. Maybe you're hopeless romantics or maybe you're in pain and frustration like the rest of us. Whatever the case, thanks for your interest, and let us hear from you. This forum is informative and warm and sweet and you will be most welcome. Gotta get to work. Love to everyone.
