Hello all, just wanted to fill you in on the situation with my mother.
She's doing good now after having the emergency surgery last week. We're hoping that she can come home in a couple days. Her blood counts are still low but they have risen since the surgery. She lost alot of blood during the surgery and since she refused a transfusion under all circumstances, they're doing everything else they can to raise the levels. She's looking much better after being taken out of the intensive care unit.
The health issue has been an ongoing one for years and we think this surgery will fix this particular probelm permenantly, but we're keeping our fingers crossed about it.
As far as things with me......
I've been doing pretty well. I must say that i'm much happier with mom's health after this surgery. Things are looking better for the future. So much just seems to be going on here lately. Between mom's health, my new found thoughts about the Borg, a broken engagment, it can wear me down every now and then. It's just seemed as if my entire life has changed overnight and i'm trying to adjust. I still have only been to maybe 2 meetings in 3 months, haven't turned in a field service report in 2. I'm still a MS and Pioneer though, even though I requested to be taken off the pioneer list. There was another issue that has occured lately that I won't tell of here, but that had taken it's toll on me as well. It's just seemed that there has been one thing after another that could potentially wear me down, but at the same time i've gotten this strength out of no where....I know it has to be God.
But i'm not trying to make this thread a "poor R.F." thread, just want to keep you all posted on latest developments and tell you how awesome you are.
Thank you for you're concerns and thoughts for us. They have been very much needed and appreciated. I'd also like to thank you all for the help i've received since i've first started to make my exit as a JW.
R.F.
