I just have to say there have been so many people from this board that have reached out to me. I am so grateful. I cannot do this alone. I am feeling so crippled. I miss Hula for those of you that remember her. We need to be there for each other. No infighting as we need all our energy to fight this ugly, nasty disease that takes so much strength and will power to get from one day to the next. We need each other !!! I could not do it without you. Roxy, you've been there for so many people on this board, people are glad to be able to help you through. I don't know how you cope with all the changes you're going through. I'd have fallen to pieces long long ago! I'm impressed with how much strength you have. And everyone else here too! A strong bunch of folks and good support for each other. Hang in there!!!!
Thanks Lady. You are Grand
Roxy, You are the pillar we all look up to. You may not feel like a million bucks, but you are worth it to us. Keep smiling.Hi Roxy - you have reached out to many of us on this site. Your honesty in speaking out about your situation is something most of us envy. I am trying to deal with this curse of a disease that is rheumatoid arthritis & at the moment am trying to find that little bit inside of me that makes up courage & integrity to keep going on fighting this horrible disease but I know that coming to this message board 2 or 3 times a day & reading the posts from you all, especially you, Deanna & Alan with your wonderful gift for words adds something so special to my life . So - each day think of me, living so far away from you, switching on my computer & logging in to see what is today's news from Roxy. Be strong.
Love, Cassie
Roxy,
You are one of the sweetest people I know and I am so glad to have stumbled across this board doing research one day. The people here mean a lot to me. It is nice to know that there is a place to go to find caring and support from people that truly understand and people that care.
I agree with the no infighting. Value and respect each other's opinions and feelings. Agree to disagree.
We all may be thousands of miles away from each physically, but emotionally, we are all right next door to each other.
I know that I have already told you what you mean to me as a friend. And, I told you that others are going to see you for the comfort, the beauty of who you are and not for the things that you used to be able to do.
RA gives the opportunitity to stretch our souls.
And, yes, I talk with fondness and concern about my dear friends here, too. It's like you're a part of my familiy. My girl even asks, "How's Roxy today?"
There's a lot of love in this room.
I am so glad you all "feel the love". I need all of you, we need each other. Today my fingers are sausages so not much typing but I am so privileged to have you all there for me and I would give anything to hug each one of you in person.
Cassie - Today's news is I am trying to figure out how to drive to the bank and grocery store. DAMN RA
Thanks for all the love - all of you and back at you. Roxy. You crazy. We love having you around Roxy. *hugs*
I couldn't ignore this one Katie..... Meals on Wheels... They come in their wheels and drop off food to you... they don't drive you to the food!! hee hee....
Roxy... hang in there and I know how you feel about everyone in
here. I've never been in a chat room before this and I feel so
good just talking and complaining and knowing that others are there
that really do feel our pain. Thank you for sharing your life
with us.
