You People Know How To Make A Grown Man Cry

[susieq14]

Susie this is what this forum is all about. You should feel welcome to post as much as you wish. Your time will come and when it does, you'll have the backing of people you never have and may never meet in person, grabbing the chains and helping pull you over your hurdles. There is no place like VR, NONE. I've been to many forums and sure there is brotherhood and such, but this is completely different here.

Ross,

THANK YOU!!!

Susie

I have been having the exact same feelings. I have taken to wearing sunglasses - even in doors sometimes - just to be able to see.

I wear my sunglasses at night

I've got transition lenses and at there darkest tinting in bright light, it's as if I'm wearing nothing at all and staring directly into the sun.

You know it's funny Ross, I never in a million years thought I would get involved on a Board like VR.com. And even though I don't check in on a daily basis (and post even less often) I do think about all the posters and the myriad of health problems that everyone is dealing with like yourself and Debbi who just started chemo and Praline and her dear husband and Nancy and her husband Joe etc etc etc etc. I can't believe how without even realizing it I have gotten attached to so many people here. And really do care about them.

Actually I sometimes feel funny posting because I don't post that often and when I do I don't ever offer any helpful answers to anyone because I haven't been through what everyone else has with their heart problems and worry that my valve problem is not really that big an issue compared to some of the serious stuff others have had to deal with. So I hope that my prayers and best wishes are enough to keep my "membership" valid until the time comes when I really need some help and prayers from the "experts". Sorry to have rambled on and on.

VERY WELL SAID!! I feel the same way. Incredible group of people here. I have found myslef quite challenged to go to class (I am an online student) for checking in here. I also include quite a list of strangers in my prayers now. Faith in humanity is a silver lining of all of our health issues here - large or small.
AND.....so many live life taking health for granted (we all probably have). I think any health crisis is frightening and important. Any and all of your feelings regarding your health are completly justified - confronting ones mortality is shaky ground - for anyone.
I will pray for you too

Well since I'm incapacitated, are you offering the helping hand?

You know Ross, I really do go the extra mile for you.

Yep, I'm willing to offer a helping hand to insert this where it needs to be inserted.

I doubt this is related, but I was on an antiarrhythmic one time (the one that the doctor who tried to kill me put me on) and my eyes became so sensitive to light that I had to wear sunglasses in the house. Is there a chance that is a side effect of one of your medications.

PS - this diaper thing is starting to get really disturbing. I'm learning more about you and Mary than I really cared to know.

Karlynn,
You have a dirty mind!
The safety pin is to pop that bubble that he's living in if he thinks I'd actually lend a hand! And I thought you would be the first one to catch on!

Welcome home Ross! So glad to see you're back where you're supposed to be. Rest, rest and more rest, you know the deal. Take it easy and if there's anything you need just shout...looks like there are a lot of friends to help. Glad to have you back!!!

P.S. If only there was a bell you could ring over the internet, you know how many people would come running if you rang.

Hey, Ross--
Been away from the message boards for a couple days as I've been gearing up to go back to work Sept. 7, but glad to hear you're back home and so sorry to hear that health issues are still plaguing you. Just try to stay positive, and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Lots of love,
Debi (debster913)

Glad you are home!!

I don't visit very regular but so glad you are home now.

 

[Lorraine]

Rossman!

A belated Welcome Back! It's so good to see you back posting. I read you were back but was not able to post until now. I know it's a heart warming feeling knowing how much everyone cares about you! Like I said in another post, you are our ROCK! Does this mean I can send you jokes again? I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

Love, Hugs and Kisses!

I have never experienced anything else quite like this place. I doubt if there are many others that will bring so many laughs and tears in a single thread! What a joy it is to get to know, and to share with you all. Susie, please ramble on! We may not be able to heal Ross's physical ailments, but it is these posts and the thought and love that goes into them, that nourishes the spirit, and that can give one miraculous strength! Your valve bro, Brian

One thing you have to realize, Brian and Suzie and everyone else, that you are the folks also. Each member is so very important to VR.com and, whether you post a lot or a little, just being around is what makes this site so great.

get a good rest... and some good humour too

Hi Ross

I have been really not here for a while. Did not know what happened to you, but from your thread you must had a hard time before.

Hope you get some rest and lots of good humour and lots of TLC from the pretty nurses too
Amelia and I wish you a speedy recovery. But meanwhile like what Singaporeans like to say " rest leah" .

God bless you.

I feel the same. I feel that I have so little to offer that I post very little even though I check this forum almost daily. Thanks to the ones that contribute so much to it.

[Ross]

But even ye that post the least are part of this huge family, so your no less significant in making this forum what it is.

Well, Ross, I've been online off and on for most of today and I'm still at a loss for what to say. When I left on vacation two weeks ago you had just gone in the hospital with low BP and blood loss. I am sorry you have had to endure yet another health crisis and that you have another cause for concern. I will keep you in my thoughts and I will fervently hope and pray you catch a break really soon!

 

[susieq14]

Don't mean to hijack your thread Ross, but I just wanted to say hello to Gina, Brian and Maka and again to you Ross and also to say to all of you "thanks for making me feel at home" so to speak. It's good to know we can "lurk" behind the Message Boards and/or post as much or as little as we can and still "belong".
