We do what cannot be imagined before people have lunch, experience it all and yeah, where do the reserves come from - I don't know. I'm listening, and I'm wishing I was there. Push on, please, find some thing to make your own. Arg, stupid me, like you don't have enough to do. The truth is I want to ease your pain and I have no magic want. I care, I want to be there, I want to make you feel safe - what right do I have to ask you to do anything? None. Damn, damn, damn.

But thanks for writing about it. To have to start over with another counselor is, emotional Russian Roulette. I hope you win on that one since it seems that any hour to be a good hour would be an improvement. Yeah, the solitude is the solitude, and you are in solitary so no tub is going to make up for that. I wish, I wish, we at least had cells next to each other to tap messages, to pass notes. While wishing, Let the vomiting stop for a while, a true rest. Well it sucks. But thanks for writing about it.

You have certainly been through the wringer - as so many of us with chronic illness have been - but i'm really impressed by your spirit and all that you do. It's extremely admirable, sickness or now, and I hope you know that. I have a comic about my experience with chronic disease, called A Comic Life, Indeed - which you can view at http://acomiclifeindeed.wordpress.com - and i will definetly be adding you to my blog roll. Be and stay well! - Miss Waxie Hi Carrie

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 10:50:44 +0000 http://tomcollins.wordpress.com/?p=245#comment-2149 I bet I saw them. I just don't remember right off. All I have in my notes about your group is "purple floor" and I didn't take pictures of them b/c my batteries were running out and I needed to have them for Assembly Line! I did pay attention to that class though b/c my alumni guard was performing. I just am having a Lyme Brain (that or OLD brain) at the moment. I was at both the WGI show & the Clayton show. In the WGI show, I spent most of the time at the Assembly Line table talking to Greta and Gena. However, I sat in the lower section first and then later on (in the prelims) at the upper level. At the Clayton show, I sat in the middle near the judges until I saw a friend when I moved up on the top row right next to where people can stand to take videos. Then after the guard was over, I hung out with Greta & Gena again until the crowd thinned out so I could go home. I won't be able to go to any more shows this season, but congratulations on getting bumped up! That's an awesome achievement! I bet I saw them. I just don’t remember right off.

If you have a second chance that is great and if you are trying things, then I can't see that as fucking it up. I wish you the best in healing yourself and getting what treatment and/or rest you need. I have words of wisdom except to say that I am listening and trying to find ways myself.
