  Oh yes!

  I used to call my Mom and Dad every Sunday..I still feel like I am forgeting something every Sunday. They died in 1987 and 1988..funny how things stay with you.

  But the hardest for me was when my hubby of 47 years died...half of my heart died when he did.

  I want to tell them to come back..I wasn't finished with them yet..............

  One of the posters said they heard their Dad's voice..after my parents died I still felt their presence for almost two years...don't know why.

  When hubby died I would cry and beg him to come back..I would dream he was alive..it was all a mistake, then I would dream he was really dead.....then one night I had such a vivid dream..hubby was laying next to me in bed and hugging me...he said "I have to go now"...I said "I know"..and I never had another dream about him after that.

  Life is strange..one minute you are here and then..........................

  My Mom had one. It ruptured and she had to go to the hospital. They had tubes down her throat for a few days.She also had to have transfusions.(Not a JW).

  When she got home she quit smoking..ate a lot of homemade bread pudding to put some weight back on ..and ate soft foods. She gained weight and her mental health had improved greatly.

  About two years later she started to smoke again..she lost so much weight and her mental health deteriorated quickly. My poor Dad had a rough time of it.

  She ended up being consumed with cancer. Dad didn't even know because she was always so thin. When he finally took her to the emergency room they told him she was full of cancer. She lived two weeks after that.

  I miss her terribly..

  It is up to you to take care of your health!!!!!

  The acid from an ulcer can eat away you stomach lining and leave you wide open to a bacterial infection...which if it gets bac enough..can lead to cancer!.

  Please get it checked and treated ..it can't be any fun suffering all the time!

  Big hugs..

  Hospital hygiene, hand washing study

  by Fatfreek in

  1. jw

  a hospital in arkansas has isolated its entire intensive care unit and isn't admitting new patients due to the outbreak of a potentially deadly drug-resistant bacterial infection, foxnews.com has confirmed...it is not known how the patients were exposed to the pathogen acinetobacter.. .

  the strain bears similarities to so-called "staph" infections but is unrelated, according to chopra.

  it tends to afflict very sick people, can be fatal and is the third most common bacterial infection in hospital icus.. .

  Yep..my Mom had a contracted a staph infection when she was in the hospital.The whole ICU was infected. Know how they handled it? They shipped all the patients to private rooms on another floor so they could spead it there.

  They threw stuff (old and new) bags of IV 's in the sinks or on the patients beds...then took the new one and attached it to the patients IV tube.The sink was dry because no one ever washed their hands on entering or leaving. I blew up..

  I later had one orderly banned from my Dad's room when he was in the hospital.If you ever complain about personel..don't let them treat your patient friend/relative again. No telling what they may do!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I did notice when my Dad was in the hospital a few months later the Drs. were using the hand washing antiseptic by the sink upon entering and leaving.
  Still almost every time a friend or relative goes in the hospital I hear of someone in the hospital having a staph infection...they are very hard to treat.

  The hospital is NO place for a sick person...

  Well I was one of those that stuck it out with a JW (and his JW family) until he died 5 years ago. Trust me in saying it wouldn't have gotten any easier. I am glad I stayed but believe me it was hard. Daily I had to hear him recite how close we were to the end. When he was dying it was hard to show support because I didn't believe what he did.So he got closer to his JW family and further away from me . I couldn't tell him I would see him in paradise...I couldn't give him the support he needed when he was dying...but I'm glad his family did..it made it easier for him.

  I think you are making a wise move..if you had stayed the depression would have eaten away at you.Who in their right mind wants to be around someone that tells you constantly how god is going to destroy you because you are not a JW?

  I loved him dearly..I miss him terribly and always will. I would take him back in a minute just the way he was..but I would probably be a raving lunatic by now...

  Doctors are so fast to hand out meds just to get rid of you. Maybe they have side effects that are making you worse.Look them up on the computer...

  Also get a good blood workup from an endochronologist...I know I spelled it wrong..anyway they look at the blood and run tests that are more in depth than a reg dr.They check your metobolism.

  If your life is so miserable..it is up to you to change it. Do you feel like you can't? What can you do to help yourself?

  My deceased hubby loved life so much I bet he would love to change places with you.He had just retired and we had so many plans.. He would live his life to the fullest.

  I still cry for all he is missing out on.

  If you don't learn to enjoy life..I am going to come to you and kick your butt! Maybe you aren't enjoying life because the people you are around depress you? OK...think it out..don't take the easy way out..life is too much fun and you'll miss it all.

  Snoozy...who has seen people suffering in their last days and still not give up because they want just one more day! What you are feeling is not natural..you need to fix it so you can have fun again..it's up to you..don't get shortchanged!!!!

  i think there is one at my hospital because of what a coworker said one time in reference to blood doctrine.

  i can't imagine them going into medicine with all the time it requires, between school, residency, etc.

  just wondering
