I'm thru being a Pest!

Having Asperger's Syndrome, myself... I can relate to Colin's mention of the condition.

Reading, posting and creating threads on many message boards as often as we would like to can easily be overwhelming. We can only spread ourselves so thin on various message boards. Enjoying them all is great, but getting to them all often can be difficult.

Miss Mary... you were missed when you went on vacation. I believe you were only gone a few days and everybody was wondering where you went. I believe it was Steph that told us all you had gone on vacation.

Linda - that's nice to know!!! I think I did tell a few people. Thanks Steph! Maybe that's what it comes down to - we all want to be missed. And I just wanted these dear friends to know that! Dang it.......still not a pest again....yet! he he Hat's still in storage. :-)

PS - I did browse a bit on other wx sites (that I have access rights to, $*#%!) and I noticed Eric has triple the number of posts here at one site. So he's around, just not spreading himself too thin, as Tom pointed out can easily happen. So that makes me feel better - Eric's okay. :-)

I looked up "pest" in my Merriam-Webster's, and "-see 'Miss Mary' " wasn't given.

So, THERE.

Good one Bill! - My face would be there instead! :lol:

Stephanie - LOL. You a pest? Never! :-)

Heard from Eric - he's fine, just busy posting elsewhere, as we suspected. Just thought I'd mention that - so Linda, Eric did reply afterall!!! He sounds very busy. And now who feels like the pest Stephanie? Me!!!

Never!

Did you see Eric's post a couple of days ago called "I'm Back!". He had alluded to the fact that he was a moderator for another board but gave it up due to spreading himself too thin plus his illness.

I'm sure that he was happy to see by the replies that we were glad to have him back!

Miss Mary.. I hope you never change, and will accept my heartfelt apologies for not getting back to you sooner than this. I haven't had time to breathe, much less write emails back to the people I have grown to count on these past 7 months. All I can say is I am sorry , and hope that you find it in your heart to forgive. You guys are never far away in thought, I hope you know that.

Dad is doing ok, we started therapy this week ,5 days a week, and running him back and forth to the hospital 20 some miles a day is very taxing, but so much a necessity. Not that I am complaining mind you...its just hard on everyone, as well as Dad. He is able to talk now...and he can stand up for a few minutes without tipping over.. so any progress at this point is a welcomed blessing. The family is holding up ok..taking it a day at a time

I am an emotional train wreck at this point , very quick to cry (so what else is new huh?lol ) Trying so hard to be strong for my dad.... I am just not very good at it I'm afraid. He has gotten so disheartened at times that it breaks mine.... I pray every night, and I know it will be ok... It can always be worse...and so many others have it worse than we do. Its just one of those cases where we have to be thankful for what we do have, and not what we don't * smiles*

A good friend told me once to" give my worries to God " thats how I cope, (Thanks Steve) I am holding up ok, altho stress gets to be a bit much at times and I jump at the slightest noises now.....I never was too good at adapting to change * sigh*

I miss you guys and think of you all often, please know that you are never too far away in thought ....you guys are like family to me

Take care my friends((LoL), and be safe and well. I will check in when I can... Tracy

Welcome back, I hope life gets better for you soon.

Hi Tracy... thank you for checking in. I continue to think, hope and pray for your father, you and the rest of your family. Good luck.

Miss Mary · #31 Postby **Miss Mary** » Fri Jul 25, 2003 6:58 am

Tracy - thanks so much for the update. No more is needed than that. If anyone asks how you are, we'll just pass along this info. I really feel for you. My father had a medical emergency also, cancer, different than recovering from a stroke I know. I did the running as you are doing and I remember first having Jim watch Nina so I could go to the hospital/nursing home (eventually that's where we had place Dad, broke my heart), crying the whole way there,washing my face in the bathroom looking into the mirror (as if to say - I wish this was all a bad dream), putting on that smile to go see Dad. I'd never make it to the car after leaving his room w/o breaking down. I'd cry before ever hitting the parking lot. Cry the whole way home, pull it together so I wouldn't upset Nina. But she was just a baby. Then Jim would ask - so how is your Dad? And then the tears would start up again. So I guess if I had to advise you of anything, it would be to cry, in private of course. Hard to put that brave face on for your loved one, but somehow deep down we find the strength. But cry Tracy - it does really help. And lean on us. Even though you can't check in, we're here.

And now gang - let's kick the prayers into high gear. Add our prayers to yours Tracy.

Take care and thanks again for checking in.

TLC - I'm glad that you were able to check in and it sounds like your father is making some progress.

Please do yourself a favor if you haven't already and get some help either with the driving, emotional support or something. You need to take care of yourself too! Seven months is a long time being under alot of stress and you may find yourself ill from it as well.

You and your father are in my prayers!
