Updates and thank-yous

[stonebender]

I tend to think of myself as someone in the background. Yes, people like me and notice me and think I'm a good guy and all, but generally, I'm one of the group, one of the crowd. I have been the center of a lot of activity in the last few weeks. I can't say I've loved all of it. Suctioning may be necessary in your life some day, but it's the most unpleasant thing I've ever allowed requested someone to do to me. I have been about as scared as I've ever been in my life, and I have felt more loved than I have ever felt.

There's no way for me to express the gratitude I feel towards all of you -- those who visited me in the hospital, like leback and waywardcats and tracytreefrog (and the rest of my blood family, who won't read this) and sogwife; the phone calls I received from people like elisem and snippy; the balloons from epi_lj, oksana, and clawfoot; and my Guardian Butterfly from kalmn. There are others, and I may be forgetting some.

But anyway, I am slowly on the mend. Today was the first day I slept through the night. I can see normal from here, and want it desperately.

Again, thanks to everyone. I don't know how I would've gotten through it without my loved ones and all your thoughts, prayers, wishes, and good vibes.

And wild_irises, you deserve some kind of medal or parade or something for helping me and loracs and serenejournal to get through all of this.

They absolutely do! I'm sleeping consistently. I still need a little Xanix though. I just keep trying to get through the days until I feel normal again.

I am so happy to hear that you are sleeping better. Just keep on keepin on, and normal will come.

I can't believe that you made wild_irises cry.

And let's you and I come up with a dastardly plot to say a proper "thank you" to those amazing, deserving and ever-so-humble women!
