since it's the time of year

[cornerofmadness]

when many of us turn to religious thought and prayer, I have a couple people I'd like you to add to yours.

1. My sister in law. She broke out in a rash a week ago. At first they thought it was an allergic reaction to the antibiotics they gave her for bronchitis. She works at a hospital (respitory therapist) so the doc's see her every day. She wasn't getting better. They got concerned and ran more tests like measles. Whatever it is, it's spreading. If it's not gone by tomorrow, they're CTing her whole body fearing it's a manifestation of an autoimmune diease

2. My cousin, Joyce. SHe's in the ICU and really, not expected to live. I'm more hoping for a quick and painless death than anything. She's been failing for a while now. Joycie is one of the oldest living Down Syndrome people on record. SHe's 70. The doctors don't hold out much hope for her. I just don't want to see her linger in pain.


thanks

thank you

I'm sorry for your relatives' health crises. I hope your s-i-l recovers quickly from her rash and it doesn't prove to be an autoimmune disease.

I'll keep them both in my prayers.

I'm such an athiest I'm worthless for prayer.
But I'm very good with sincere hopes for wellness and peace for your sister-in-law and your cousin -- and for YOU.

A colleague of mine that I did not even know had cancer died a few days ago, and I was floored. Strong, kind, intelligent woman who often gave me guidance as a junior colleague. Then I learned another retiring colleague's wife just suffered a stroke because of a virus!

Illness sucks. Mortality sucks harder.

Do something that makes you feel happy to be alive today, ok? HUGS.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks.

Yeah it does suck. Sorry to hear about your colleague. I had one die suddenly last year returning from his own father's funeral.

Thanks. I had wanted to take your advice but i'm STILL sick. so I guess writing and reading will be my happy time while I stay chained to the porcelain throne

After a month of strep followed by the inability to digest anything that comes (along with yeast) as an effect of massive antibiotics, I hear you loud and clear. Am so sorry you're still hurting.

If it will help any, prompt me for an FMA drabble of your dreams and I'll try to do ya right.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Now i have a fever. WTF. I didn't have a fever thru any of this before.

that's nice of you

Maes and Roy, academy, study break

(and feel free to do the same, though note, those two are the only ones I slash in FMA)

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

Work is kicking my ass. I promise a little drabble at earliest opportunity. Need to make it worthy.

Do me some Maes and Roy too? How about "morning after" as a prompt?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

work is kicking mine too. tell me why did i give three tests today and one tomorrow.? who did i think was grading these?

I can do that

I hope death comes painlessly for your cousin. Sometimes it's all we can wish for.

As far as your s-i-l, I hope it turns out to be nothing.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah I mean Joycie had a good life but now she has alzheimer's complicating the Downs. The family is content with it being her time.

and thanks, so do i
