Title: Still here

Post by: spacial on July 22, 2012, 03:47:16 AM
I'd like to apologise to all who know me for suddenly breaking off my regular visits here and posts I made.
The truth is, I am quite ill these days. I get very tired and fall asleep often. I'm not really improving and I won't get better.
I went to see my GP recently for a review. He seems quite happy with how I'm getting on and my current regime will continue. I have to say, I'm happy about that. Getting my meds altered is a nusance as I'm sure you can apppreciate.
I was diagnosed on 1 April 2011. I'm sorry to say that since then, it's become increasingly difficult to give the sort of attention to people, their posts and problems that they all deserve. I was increasingly missing points or issues and jumping to completely wrong conclusions. That is no pleasure for me. My friends here deserve better.
I'm pleased to say I still have my intellect. I can still think. As long as I can think my being will exist. I think because I am.
Nabokov wrote that the problem with dying is you're totally alone. I didn't really understand that until now. I suppose, like many, I assumed it meant that dying people needed company, others tend to shy away.
The reality is very different.
My biggest problem is simply saying it. It certainly doesn't bother me. It just isn't the sort of thing you casually drop into any conversation.
I can't really think of anything to say really.
Love you all. Keep posting. It isn't just for you. The support we each give to others, simply with the most binale posts is enormous. We say to people, you are not alone any more.

Hi Jill,
Been thinking of you and was going to pm you. I'm fine carrying on like usual.
We are a family and we face the problems that all families face. There is no way of getting away from that. If I had a magic wand it would be worn out by now.
In all of our journeys we meet different people. some we like, some we tolerate, some we ignore. I have been blessed with meeting people that I both like and love. I have had marvellous talks with many people and many have been with you. You have inspired me and at times dragged me out of the gutter of despair. There is no finer tribute than any of us can carry than for a person who has never met you physically, to say that you a friend, and a true friend.
My darling you are truly that.
I know the problems you face and you have faced them with bravery and consideration for those you love.
I'm not writing an epitaph by any means, but the sun shines brighter while I know you are safe and 'well'.
I am always here for you, and I always will be.
Hugs my friend and my Sister.
Keep well.
I love you.
Cindy

Jill, it's good to see you here again! When I joined this family, you were one of the first names that I started to remember. Your posts always offered guidance, or a helping hand. Your contributions here are priceless, and we look forward to more. Don't go dying on us just yet! Hugs, Devlyn

Hi Jill,
I was only thinking of you the other day, myself. I hadn't heard or seen of you in such a while. Regrettable it sometimes can be a community that moves on. I'm pleased you are back with us to stay.
Don't worry about the accuracy of your posts, we can change the details to suit. :laugh:
Look forward to hearing more from you.
Huggs

As the others have said I was wondering what you were up to. Hope you get to feeling better.

Thank you all for the warm responses. What I expected really, but never anything less than very welcome.
For some reason I have a rather inflamed toe this evening so decided to check up here to see what's happening.
The spirit here is as constant as the people.

Tekla is not currently banned.
The topic is about "spacial".
