I just wanted to thank you guys for taking the time to respond to me, give me advice..... and inadvertantly help me kill so much time.
Special mentions... Mair, susan, willow, sar, jane, akc.. you are kind as shit. (Just an expression, a weird one I guess.)
Mair and susan... you have so much compassion. Sar.. you stand out the most for making me laugh(which I don't know is necessarily that great... it hurts like hell for me to laugh right now... but laughter IS the best medicine.) and I so enjoy reading your posts, even if they aren't for me.
And willow.... I haven't seen much of you. I hope everythings ok.
But again.... I don't mean to focus more on anyone... or not include everyone..... you've all helped me through a really awful week. Thank you for that. With love, Kristi

I haven't corresponded much with you, but am from the Southwest and you seem like such a "genuine Southwestern gal". :)
I'm sorry for the pain you've been through.

sar

Dear Kristi
Compassion, smashon, you just get better and be sure you take it easy. We need you to keep us on the straight and narrow here on this band width.
And, you are welcome.

> Kristi - thanks for the kind words. You've been through so much and shown such courage - even us self absorbed depressive types can't help but rally around.
I wish I could come out there and give you a hand, but I went to Las Vegas once and swore I'd never go back. It seemed so hot I literally thought my air passages would constrict and that I might suffocate or something. How do you manage?
I also have a new respect for you as a person who's actually trying to quit smoking while living in what must be the cigarette capital of the free world. All the more power to you!
Please don't overdue it and keep us all in the loop.
Mair

Ya know what? It's so strange... but when you live here, you really don't notice. During the summer... EVERYTHING... is air conditioned to the max, that I spend the summer freezing. But... You obviously came as a tourist.. thus spending much more time outside!

Ugh... today was my first day back to work since the surgery... AND quitting smoking. You are so more accurate than you even know. It was hard, but I muddled through.

What about me??? I want to be weird as shit toooo! Awwwwww......Anyway, ditto on what the others said, Kristi. We aren't anywhere near as brave as you. My own pain threshold is very low, I am a total baby in the face of any kind of pain, from getting a sliver out to cutting my finger with a kitchen knife (not that I do that too much, even though I am on neurontin...). I have never even broken a bone (knock wood), so I have lived through only the most minor injuries. Band-aid shit only. So can I even *imagine* what you're going through? No, in all honesty...
So how can I express what a chica you are, bay-bee? We all just wish you the best, every day, all day, all the time. Oh, yes, and the hugest medical malpractice settlement in the history of the state of Nevada.
Stay well, and hope work was ok today...Wendy

Don't worry... I didn't forget ya... your just as weird as shit. I just have these bizarre brain jitters lately, and I can't remember who said what, and so on.

My pain threshold used to be very low myself. Then just this odd collections of things occured.... a car accident where I broke my leg, my arm and my wrist.... and got 3 teeth knocked out by an airbag(they are back now.)..... I got mugged... then all this. They say things happen for a reason. I hope the reason isn't just to higher my threshold. Would that not suck????????Can I ask... how old you are? Your so lucky... do you get colored bandaids????? I like those flinstone ones they have. There is this one bruise sort of looking thing that you can see on my uniform.... and I cover it up with all different bandaids. Turns something totally crazy into a conversation piece.
