Love ya kiddo! :hug:

CoQ10 is a great thing to take for anything brain related as far as I understand.

((((hugs))) from me too. You are dealing with so much, both physically and mentally that it is no wonder you are feeling overwhelmed.

I hate anniversaries of the deaths of people I love too. But it is also a time to celebrate that we are alive, and they will be alive in a way too all the time we have the breath to tell their stories.

I joined Lifeline, which is the same kind of service as the Samaritans in America, because a friend of mine committed suicide. I worked on the phones for eight years doing a six hour shift once a week. I wanted to do something to help people feel more empowered so they didn't get to feel that feeling of being lost and alone. On the night shifts in particular people were thankful just to talk and relieve their feelings of loneliness. That is what we are here for too. I hope that some of what I did helped people go on living a life that they found worthwhile.

(((hugs))) and prayers too.

Sue.

Hey Cookie.... (((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I did not lose anyone in 9/11 that i know of, but it is something that has bothered me very deeply. I listened to a few of the wives, family. I am not sure I would be as gracious as they are. Maybe the news is only highlighting on the ones that are.

Hopefull you get some answers on your arm.. etc. Thanks for the update on your daughter.

You are all thought of warmly here.

I was 4 blocks away watching the whole thing happen...thankfully didn't lose anyone I knew personally but it was awful living among all that death and sadness for a long time. I'm still bothered by the whole thing...can't really watch anything 9-11 oriented.
