Very very true, Barbara!
And after carefully reading the exchange of mail over the last few days, I've
come to realize that we know so little about each other......other than TM!
And things make so much more sense when we understand more!!!
Kara briefly told us about being admitted, being thoroughly fed up, and
leaving the hospital....after removing her own IV! Well, this didn't sound
quite right to many of us, and Kara admitted it herself! But after we
learned that she has worked in the medical field and this was part of her
job, it certainly is more understandable! And don't tell me that the rest of
us haven't been completely fed up....at one time or another!!!
Bryan certainly expressed much anger and bitterness. A bit harse, it seemed.
But knowing nothing about Bryan, I went back and read many of his posts.
Knowing his dreams of cycling and bench-pressing (is that what it's
called.....doing this from memory! Hey, my memory might not be too great
either!), it certainly is more understandable for him to damn well *be*
bitter!! Maybe it was expressed a bit harshly....but he vented and obviously
that was what he had to do! And I'm sure we have *all* done that at one time
or another!!!! For sure!!!
I do *not* think this group has been torn apart! I think many have expressed
feelings that have been bottled up inside and needed to be said! OK, we all
don't agree with each other! Hey...welcome to the real world!!!!
I've learned that there are many *peace makers* and *care givers* among us!!!
I've also learned that *I* am not the only "long-winded" one among
us!!!!!!!!<G> Have also learned that I am not the only one that uses humor
to get thru a lot!!!!!
I think we have learned and grown among us! Understanding goes a long way!
And dammit.....tell me one person that *enjoys* having TM! :-/ NOT!!!!!!!
Glad to be part of this group....just wish I'd gotten here some other
way!!!!!! ;-) I'm glad to be getting to know each of you!
