To my friends and family: I want to express my gratitude for those who have come to the nasty hostible (my nephew, Christophers interpretation of hospital) to visit with me. I absolutely love having sweet friends and family come but sometimes I don't feel on top of the world (I know, duh!) But, I have felt bad about a couple of times being inhospitable (cool pun, huh?) when I've been mizabo (miserable).
What I really want to express is that distraction is the name of the game in the hospital. Playing games (I have a storehouse there at all times...self-preservation) and I have a good collection of great books from which, if I'm sorta loopy, I would love to have someone just sit and read to me and not mind too much if I nod off. This is such a long haul of treatment. I am usually at St Joseph's on the 10th floor in either A or C quad for 5-8 days every 2-3 weeks. I will post in this journal when I'm back in and how I'm doing.
Again, thank you all so much for everything (so many of which I am totally clueless about) to help my wonderful husband and family. The separation, particularly at this terrible time, seems cruel. The kids are split up. They don't see their friends. Everything is so upside down and twisted.
My testimony is sure. More sure than ever. I am so grateful for blessings I had and took for granted...but no more. I love the Savior. I love my Heavenly Father. and I love the Comforter who does just that. Life is so good.
