OK - I'm in bad shape. BMO3's post has me in tears again.
Hugs and blessings all!
Ugh, that was two hours ago. If anyone hears anything, let us know! I am so worried for her... :(
They will likely at least keep her overnight to watch her, if not for longer. I guess her husband will have his hands more than full between being at the hospital and the kids needing taking care of. I doubt we will hear anything for at least a day or two. We can only be patient and hope it's not a major event, that she is resting, under watchful supervision and getting more tests.
Plus her sons have a concert tonight.... :(
Oh my gosh Jennifer - I hope and PRAY everything is OK. Please report back when you can cause we are all worried for you. Take care and God bless to keep you safe.
Jennifer-my tim tam eating friend! Oh dear, I do hope you're going to be ok. Big hugs & good thoughts coming your way from Perth.
I'll send more tim tams!

Jennifer (aka BMO3),
I've been out of contact for a couple of days............ and now this!!! Please, please take care of yourself. You are a very special person in many ways. On this board or not. I am SO WORRIED 'bout you, honey. Let us know, please, so we aren't scared for you.
I don't do a lot of praying, but I will try, for your sake. Be well as you can be. Keep us informed.
Much love and prayers and hope,
annie
Am i correct? When jen said her symptoms were cycling..it meant they were getting worse yeah?
Man i hope she's doing ok. Thoughts are with her hubby(strong guy hey!!) and the boys.

Jen,
I heard that you were ill and since I don't have a "normal" job I'm just now getting to TD. Go NOW, I know now's later....:( seconds count.
Then I'm sure your husband told you that.
I'm not well practiced on the prayer thang either but....I'm giving it a whirl.
Oh, dear! Her missing their concert (and them missing playing in it) just stabs me in the heart.Quote:

Much love to you and your family. Take good care of yourself hon and get better quickly. I'll call ya later.

Jennifer, thinking of you and your family tonight. Hoping fervently that you will get through this and move on to brighter days. We're going to be a somber bunch until we hear from you again. ((((BMo3))))
{{{BMO3}}}
(((((( group hug including b'momo'3)))))))
Jennifer hoping you are doing okay and this is just a small bump in your life! Sending all my good wishes your way -
BCIPam - is hurting again too - has to have back surgery now -
Im just wishing everyone gets better quickly!
If anyone hears anything, please please please post it here on TD.
I'll try calling her if we haven't heard from her by Sunday or Monday.
We know as soon as she is able (and probably a bit before that!:rolleyes: ) she will be posting to us.
Hang in there, babe! (((((BMo3)))))
(((((Jennifer and family)))))
Knot and everyone - Hang in there. Ya know how stubborn she is so I'm sure she's giving them all h*ll right now. ;) I'll let ya know ASAP if/when I get through.
Ok, how's that for timing? While I was writing that last post, she emailed me. She's pretty much ok. She had a TIA, not a stroke. *phew* She missed the concert but she's home so that's good. I'm gonna call her soon and let her know all of you are pulling for her and love her.
I doubt that she will be online today so I'll let ya all know more when I can.
take care everyone and have a better day!

Mimi -
What is a TIA or transient ischemic attack?
A TIA is a "warning stroke" or "mini-stroke" that produces stroke-like symptoms but no lasting damage. Recognizing and treating TIAs can reduce your risk of a major stroke.
I think it is the best possible outcome concerning Jennifer's trip to the hospital- no lasting damage, not a stroke, back home again resting. My heart is glad for that. Get well Jennifer.
Keeping you in my thoughts Jennifer! Hope your family is taking good care of you. :)
It's Jennifer who is showing us all just how powerful positive energy can be.
Jennifer, you are amazing!
Hi there ladies! I'm trying to get this out to you from work cuz I know you're concerned.
I called Jennifer at home and she sounded pretty good considering everything. She stayed in the hospital overnight and came home this a.m. after being subjected to a hospital breakfast. She's still not sure what it was she ate. Blech.
It definitely was a TIA, not a stroke. Not great but not horrible either. NO massive permanent damage with those, more of a warning.
She's gonna be offline for a few days cuz it's hard to stare at a bright screen or read very much right now. But she wanted me to tell you all how thankful she is for all your prayers and well wishes. She wanted me to put out a special thankyou to MP. The med i.d. info came in handy as she was unable to tell them about her meds and such herself. Saved a lot of precious time.
I'll be calling her again this evening so if there are any messages you want sent, PM me and I'll read them off to her. Gonna try to keep the personal calls to a minimum until at least Sunday. I'm also gonna read the TE and TD posts to her. Gotta keep her up to date on all the news ya know. :p
The rest of the story will not go on TD unless she puts it here herself so if ya really can't wait, PM, IM or email me and I'll tell ya what I feel I can. She said to feel free to send her a note but just know that she won't be reading anything for a bit. When she is finally able to logon, I think it sure would be great to have all those notes to read.
Have a terrific day ladies, take care and be safe.
-X.
Thanks so much for the news, X. Please send love and hugs from me. I printed out her little avatar picture yesterday and put it in front of my picture of the Virgen of Guadalupe for some extra loving help. It'll stay there until we hear from her.
Tell her I'm burning candles for her and all that cool stuff. You'll pull through Jen!
Thinking of you, Jen...
Nanci
Dear SS,
You are on TD. You probably already know I am hellishly late with my November gift. My finances are so screwed, it isn't even funny. I haven't forgotten you, though. I just tonight closed down the oldest credit card I have rather than pay 32% interest. I have never had shi*ty credit in my life. I don't know how I got like this. However, I am trying to keep my head above water, and managed to pay off two tiny credit cards today. It's just, with the big one, the last payment was $935, which I couldn't get out of that check, so then I paid it today, but it was late, so some girl called me today and told me that the payment due now was $2000- right! I'm like, I'm inches away from consolidating them all- so I got on this "payment plan"...It all happened because of overspending at IM Florida. So anyway, I'm trying to catch up, and I will be sending you a spectacular gift as soon as I can pay cash for it- please be patient.
Nanci
I hate my life.
((((Nanci)))) Money troubles suck. But we've all been there at one point or another. Happy to say mine are behind me but I certainly hadmy fair share of gut-wrenching worry over finances. Even had to sell my house to pay of debt and buy waaay down. Hope you get things under control really soon. It will get better. I always try to remember that in the grand scheme of life, my money problems pale in comparison to the national debt. More (((hugs))) Consolidating debt certainly helped for me, as did creating a clear budget and sticking to it. (Ugh, I hate that word 'budget"...)
Of course, this is all assuming that money, or the lack thereof, is the root of your unhappiness... :(
Pretty much. That and the 30 pounds I've managed to pack on...
Nanci
But some days I wonder if I'm ever going to see my grandson before he's old enough to drive down here himself.
Nanci
Glad to hear that Jennifer's back home again, and it was not a stroke.
Rest up and let your family spoil you rotten!!
Don't you just hate that aspect of being female and forty? You can just LOOK at food and gain weight....Quote:

I saw him once! He's way up in Minnesota. 24 hour drive. Possibly I wouldn't be gaining weight if I was sticking to my diet and riding my bike more than once a month...Oh, he's 2.5. His mother has the bird that is eating it's own leg, remember? I thought, instead of me traveling up there on the money from my big OT check from today, which wasn't that big after all, after they took out $942 in taxes/bullsh*t, I would just send her some cash to help with the thousands of dollars vet bills, but I guess that isn't happening...50, not 40.
Nanci
YOU are 50??? you look like you're 28 years old. NO KIDDING!
50 - I was rounding down.... :rolleyes: :D (maybe way down, but hey...)
24 hours, that IS a long way away. And it's tough to stick to a diet when you're feeling down - I guess the weather down there isn't as much of an issue, but I sure am finding it hard to get interested in biking right now. I'm hoping my back is feeling up to trying out the trainer again this weekend. If I don't diet ADN exercise, I can't lose weight at all...
Have you always lived in Florida?
Hey Nanci,
I grew up really ...really... poor. I know the feeling.
I have a Secret Sister Dilemma suggestion for you if you want... instead of waiting for enough money to buy your SS a big gift, why don't you give her something heartfelt and simpler instead? Listen, i have read right here on TE the evidence of your wonderful writing talents (tarbaby rat fetus, anyone?). No use denying it. Why don't you MAKE a little handwritten mini-book for her? YOu could probably make something up in an hour or maybe two. Perhaps just a few pages of some of your wonderful prose, or just random thoughts about biking, or if you draw a blank or writers block- how about just making a booklet story from your tarbaby story? Some pasted in cut-outs or rough sketches scattered about on the pages, some ribbon, glitter....have fun with it and don't worry if it is "good" or "bad"- it will be an absolute treasure regardless. Remember, the theme for November SS was "Fun things".
I'm sure she would love it to pieces (I know I would!!), and she'd be totally the luckiest SS there EVER was.
