I don't usually write long posts, but this will be an exception so I apologize to DJ for taking up his broad-band width or whatever it's called. To those here who won't know what I'm talking about, just click on "back" and go on to the next post.
More than 5 years ago I typed cluster headache into a search engine and not only found what I was looking for by way of info. and support for my headaches, but over the years I found a family. A family who helped me when I was ready to give it up and meet my maker.
A family who helped me through Ernies death. A family who, several days ago..rallied around me as I went through one of the worst times in my life.
I came here that morning devastated and so alone, and recieved love and support and encouragement from so many. Everyone who posted. The PM's...One person, bless his heart, stayed on-line most of the day just so I could talk. I also recieved long-distance phone calls from some who threw me the proverbial life-rope, and at one point even made me laugh.
For all of you people, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. My cup runneth over with gratitude.
Update now: I found my ANGER!!!! and I ain't going NOWHERE! I'm not a quitter and I told him that. I plan on fighting for my right to the Medical Ins. which is way too important to me(as I'm sure you can all relate to) I want this to work, but if it doesn't, I'm a lot stronger than I was last week, thanks in part to all of you.
I will be at the convention as planned Dammit!!!!!... and I am hoping that the officers and Bod of OUCH will allow me a little more time of my 'leave of absence' to collect my thoughts and let this constant surge of adrenalin settle.
There is no need for anyone to reply to this, I just wanted to say thank you for the love you've shown me.
YOU ARE ALL MY HEROS. Linda

Good. Let him have it. There was something there, thus you got married. That cant disappear in a week. Kick his butt hard enough and maybe his head will be removed from it.

Hey Frank.............If you are gonna look Linda straight in the eye, you better get on your knees  She is like my wife, vertically challenged, but quite a little firecracker.
Your game plan is forming Linda, carry on and move out. See in Nashville, on my knees

Linda, I was going to cry if you weren't going to the con, not because I'd have to pay the full amount for a room (which wouldn't have bothered me), but because I was really looking forward to being your roomate!!! I love you my big sister, and I just want you to be happy. That's all. Now I am SOOOOO relieved you posted cause I know you're alright. I WILL be expecting you to flush the toilet while I'm in the shower. Also, you deserve better treatment than what you've been getting, so I am glad you found your anger to demand better. Don't back down and if you need anything at all, you let me know!!!
Love,
mel

OMG!! You are gonna be all-right!!! I know it now!!!
As you know, this is all very confusing to me. I saw the way he looks at you-it said what I needed to hear.
Perhaps Jim had a temporary lapse of some kind!
You know where I am, and how to reach me-
Strength, Linda, and courage!!

I know you said no reply, but since when do I listen to anyone - besides I'm in good company.
I'm glad you found your anger. I hope you can use it to your benefit.
