Hey, I am back!!!!!!! I am getting better little bit each day. I still have the dressing over my scar tissue where it did bled few time (I was laying down on my side/ toward to my front and kinda of pull away from the bed when I was trying to turn around to lay down on my back - pulled my skin and made it bled little bit) but I got the big band-aid on it. Boy it was a long, long road for me. We found out about the medicines was "WRONG" for me (whoever put the label on the medicines bottle was responsible and did not know which medicines was for). Good thing that I told my hubby to take me back to emergency room because of severe stomach pain that the "wrong" medicines was causing me. My dr wanted to give me different meds but I told them NO MORE MEDICINES and I had enough PAINS!!!!!!!!! We came back home and I did lay down in bed for next couple weeks without any pain medicines. I told my hubby to please post it in this newsgroup that I have to cancel the swaps due to this mess. I had someone visited me from the hospital to check my scar where it bled - getting better (I still have to wear sweatpants as of now). My hubby told me that he received few emails from some of you. I am kinda of disappointed with this - some of you asked my hubby for the address (where he thought some of you would send me some cards) since some of you asked him for my address and I haven't received anything in the mail. Someone have received something in the mail when they are "feeling down", lost someone they loved, need a prayer but nothing for me???? I guess I will have to go and get out of this newsgroup for good. Well take care and so long! Marcie


Glad that you are back and so sorry that you felt so badly physically and are now feeling a little sad. Unfortunately, this has been a bad month for many of us here on RCS too. Some of us had to cope with hurricanes, sick kids, sick parents, sickness and so forth! I hope that you'll feel better when you read the well wishes posted when I let everyone know that you were not doing well.

I think that there is a reason that most of us are on the internet. That means that most of us are more comfortable emailing and posting well wishes rather than sending them via snail mail. I know that other than Secret Santa and NSSSF, I've rarely gotten anything snail mail. Personally I try not to expected things from people, after all no one owes me anything, at least not in my mind. When I do get something even via email or post, I am always amazed, thankful and happy that people care enough to spend even a moment of their precious time in their precious lives thinking of me. Just that is a blessing to me. So many people don't even have people that will ask about them.

It isn't that you were forgotten or that you don't matter, Marcie. We were all waiting for you to show up again and many of us prayed for you to get better fast. Besides your hubby had given us a sense that you needed to rest and that it would take a couple of weeks.

I hope you feel a lot better soon, as you've been through alot!

Hugs, M-C

I'm so glad to see you back and posting. Your husband was very kind to let us know you were off resting and trying to get better. Looking forward to seeing more of you as you feel up to it.

Marcie, You are so loved in this group. Remember how everyone joined in to send your son all the stamps. Do you think they would have done that if you were not cared for. Your just sad now because of all you went through. We all thought you were off resting. Had no idea you were having such a hard time. Blessings being sent your way. Hope your all better very son. Hugs and kisses being sent. Irene

Marcie, I'm so glad that things are looking up your side. I did think and pray for you, Evan and the rest of your loved ones when I read your DH's mail. You were missed! :)

Hi, Marcie!

Glad to know you are doing better! I had no idea that you were having complications with your medicine! That is just awful to know someone just mixed up the medicines and made your situation worse. I hope you heal quickly!!

I am sorry you have not received any cards from the group but I think MC is right. I haven't ever received anything from RECS other than the swaps via snail mail. Most of us are fairly comfortable with the computer and send via this way instead. I know that a ton of people posted to either your husbands post or MC's. I can't remember who posted about you having to cancel the swaps.

Lots of HUGS! Please come back and participate. We really do value you!

Marcie, if you want to have a pity party go ahead, but know we aren't abandoning you. When I had cancer and almost died, I didn't get ONE card. My own family didn't come to visit me. The only thing I got was flowers from my LANDLORD! That was it! I had to fight for my life and I wasn't worth a card! My anniversary means alot to me and it just passed and not even my husband said anything... so I know how you are feeling, but again, like M-C said... life lately has been hell for alot of us. People didn't meant to intentionally hurt you but again, life catches up with everyone. It's been a very VERY bad month.

Oh Marcie I'm so sorry that you have been having such a hard time recovering from your surgery. Please know that we have missed you. I hope you will change your mind and stay with the group.
