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.

I'm very glad you are home and feeling better. You have my sympathy for going through such an ordeal, and hugs if you would like them.

Sympathy and hugs are usually welcome :-) Thanks much!
