PT prayers and thoughts for Donna

[Dorothy39]

AHHHHH~~~~ That is a relieving up date, Thank-You DavidP


Hopefully, she will continue to get more rest and will be feeling much better now that a Social worker has stepped in to assist her elibility.

Perhaps someone can arrange to have Mooshoo brought up to the Hospital for a little Purr visit, it's worth a try. (twists social workers arm)

I will keep Donna in my Prayers. Her PT withdrawel must be horrible!!!!!!

God bless you, Donna! Getting the help you need is a great step, and I'm here if you need to chat!

Keep the Faith!
Love,
Kim

I just got off the phone with Donna. She's sounding better than I thought she would. She asked ME how I was doing when she called! I said "no I'm worried about you, forget about me, whats going on with you?" She's such a wonderful and caring person.... even when she has her own personal crisis she's worried about others! She has gotten back her sense of humor and is optimistic about getting some sort of aid.

Apparently Sunday was pretty bad, with her searching the sunday classifieds and finding nothing available. She thankfully realized that she needed help and drove herself to the hospital Sunday afternoon. They are currently tweeking her meds, but she wants off her current one and wants to try something totally different since its not been working for months (and it has been giving her serious vertigo)

She says she misses her cats something awful. She's especially missing Moo. Anyone know where to find a stuffed animal of a sphynx cat? She would love something like that to hold onto in the hospital. but chances are it would arrive after she's realeased! She really is looking forward to being released very soon.... that all depends on how well she responds to any new meds, etc.

Please continue sending prayers her way. They seem to be working. I was seriously worried about her, and am so glad to hear her sounding much more positive than the last time I spoke to her a week ago.

Hmm, maybe she could ask the nurse for a hot water bottle - do hospitals still have those? That'd feel almost Moo-like!

David: This is Gini posting on behalf of Slick. She wanted me to tell you and Donna that she will be praying for her and hopes that we soon have good news.

Also tell Donna from me that she is in my prayers too - she just needs to take care of herself right now.

Thanks for the updates David and Kim. I'm so glad that Donna is sounding much better and is optimistic. I hope she'll be able to be released from the hospital soon and that the social worker will be able to help her find a new place to stay. Many more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent Donna's way.

This one's for you Donna.

Thanks, Gini. I'll tell Donna that you and Slick both have her in your prayers. I also have Slick in my prayers that she has a speedy recovery and that Dr. Pete has her out of there in no time!

Gosh, I'm so sorry! I've been having Internet issues with my provider this week and just saw this.

Prayers on the way for you Donna!!!! Don't be shy about applying for state aid if you need it until you get back on your feet. I had to go on it while my disability was being approved by Social Security. When it was approved, I was able to pay the state back.

I'm sure they have all sorts of programs like medical and stuff. Everyone needs help sometime.

the cats send purrs and head bumpies to you too

MAJOR LES here guys. I've been home since around noon and have been tending to the kits and checking my emails. You have NO idea how much I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. It's great to be home with my babies and be able to take a shower in a CLEAN bathroom AND have a phone to use anytime I want, not just in spurts!!! Not to mention the food - BLECK!!!! I'm having a Pepe's pizza tonight. *salivates*

My meltdown was pretty severe and even scared me, and I don't scare easily. My doctors have diagnosed me with severe clinical depression, anxiety and ADD (attention deficit disorder). They've put me on Celexa for my depression and Quetiapine for anxiety and sleep. I asked my therapist if the symptoms of ADD and depression are related to me not being able to hold down a job and she confirmed it. So, that means that, contrary to my brother's accusations that I am incompetent and a screw up, my losing the jobs was due to my illness. With the help of an administrator from the hospital, I have filed for Title 19, which will help me with medical benefits. Monday I'll find out how to file for SSD (Social Security Disability). I am worried about where I'm going to go once Mark moves to Maine. But I have to take one day at a time, baby steps.

I'll be starting outpatient therapy on Monday. I should've done this long ago. Taking meds without the benefit of counseling was a mistake for me. I want my life back. I'm also going back to AA meetings. It's cheap therapy and also much needed.

From the core of my soul, I want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. You have no idea how much it means to me to have such a wonderful group of friends during such troubling times.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Hugs and prayers coming Donna's way!!

Donna .... After just a couple of months I did have to increase my dosage to 40 mg., but that is where I have stayed. Of course now I am also on the Lamictal for BP-II. Celexa is good about working quickly!

[Catty1]

Donna - I PM'd David with some info on ADD. I am awaiting a diagnosis myself.

I am up to 60mg Celexa...and the ADD descriptions really caught my eye and mind, while I was searching for something else online!

Still waiting for my referral - and as I have said to my GP: "If I DON'T have ADD, I am going to be REALLY upset!"

it's the only thing that makes sense of my life....

GLAD you are feeling better and got some things happening!

HUGS

I will continue to keep Donna in my Prayers.

I sure do wish we could send her handwritten comfort, and, yes, I wish Mooshoo could sleep with her tonight too.

Yes Karen, I was thinking the same thing, "hot Water Bottle" or even a "microwaved rice pillow"
