First I got this email and I teared up immediately.

Well! I finally have some info back. My hemoglobin count is up to 7.9 from 7.3, and that is good. The doctor wants me to keep doing what i am doing and I will give blood again in one month. I am still considered critical, and I think that if I did not have the auto-immune stuff going on, she would order a transfusion.So YAY...

Well, I have a few test results back from the dr. I still have a few more to go AND I have to go to the hospital in a week and have more bloodwork done. I guess that they are tracking stuff down. But for right now, I am severely anemic. The doctor wanted me to get a transfusion. So, right now I am taking...

Hope things get better

At least you have some idea what it is now and can make it better. Hope you start feeling better soon.
I hate getting old, every day I start to worry more and more about the health problems that I have seen my granparents have and what I can do to try and avoid heart problems and strokes and such since they happen on both sides of my family.

Snow, snow, snow.....I am tired of it. Driving the Winkle in the slush
is quite an accomplishment!
I am a little queasy today and I hope that I am not getting the flu. I
had to call and leave a message with the Dr.s office because no one has called regarding any of my test results!! They called back and they had some of them....and...

Choices.....we all have them to make. Little ones and big ones. The wrong ones can hurt us and can hurt the people that we love. The right ones can be hard, but make life worth it. I think that we know the negative things that we do and choices that we make, and that we have the power within ourselves to make positive choices. I...

Well you're going about it the right way... Let it settle before you make any decisions. Most people panic and make bad choices... Go Mel! ha ha

Patience can be tough; especially when you want something so badly.
You know I'm around if you want a shoulder.
But, I completely agree with you that we have the power to make the right choices. We can (and must) do what we can to make ourselves happy.

That is some pretty heavy stuff. Wise move not to have therapy in the middle of the work day anymore. I have personal experience with suicide. My fiance jumped from a 9 story building 11 years ago the 6th. I had actually left him 2 years prior because of his addiction to cocaine and I was sober for 4 years struggling to live two lives. I almost died with him. Spiritual death comes before physical death and I was spiritually dead.
He carried on in his addiction until he could take no more. I remained close to his family after the break and I was the first one called the day he died. He was weighing heavily on my mind the other day and I was commenting at a 12 step meeting about some relationship growth for me and the story of him and I was flooding out all over the place then I realized right in the middle of my comment that it'd been 11 years that day.
Suicide is a bizzarre animal. No matter how many times you try to put the puzzle together one piece always remains missing yet we try to put it all together over and over again. It's normal. When someone wants to complete nothing will stop them but devine intervention. There was nothing any of us could do for Chad.
I attended S.O.S groups for awhile after his death and took his little sister with me. She was only 14 or 15 at the time. It was horrible. Oh, S.O.S. stands for Survivors of Suicide. Look them up. I dunno if they are in your are or not.

melaniek:
Thank you for the advice. I had a hard time after Stephanie's death...it just was not real for me until I saw her in the casket. It was just unbeliveable. Mark's death was preventable to me. Mark had broken up with his girlfriend and she had moved to Altanta with something of his. He went there to get it back. He would not wait until my friend Cara or I could go with him. Apparently there was some sort of arguement and allegations, and Mark left angry and upset.
I am so sorry that this has also touched your life. I wish that it did not EVER touch anyone's lives. It is so hard to take for the ones left behind.
thank you again....it certainly helps to know that others also know and understand.
