I want to Thank all of you that Emailed me with all your good wishes. It meant a lot to me. I had a bad one tonight put me on the floor fast. I told myself out loud don't worrie it will go away just hold on. I thought of all of you and made up my mind this thing is not going to destroy me I will not let it. The fear just drifted away. The pain was still there but my fear wasn't.
At 12:oo tonight my family gave me my Mothers day gift.
None of you could guess what it was. It's a 8 foot step ladder. On the ladder was a note from my family that reads. You have the tools now to help you climb
this mountain and you have lots of people to hang on to if you slip. Its the best Mothers day gift I ever had. With a family like mine and friends like all of you how can I lose.
Thanks for holding me up. If any of you ever need to talk feel free to look me up.
Hope you are all pain free tonight.
Elaine
