Lorichristine I do not have family around me. My dh blood Is not compatable. My blood is not rare. I'm a+ very common.
I'm doing better today. I'm no longer on my anti hemorrhage drugs and I'm doing great. I was very scared last night to be done. I couldn't fall asleep. It's good to be on the mend.
I wouldn't mind eating half pound of chocolate. But I think I'd pass out from the sugar high. I'm good with a chocolate bar a day.
I still get tired super easy. And cant tolerate large temperature swings still. Stairs still kick my butt like a ninja lol. Looking forward to e back on track.
Thank you everyone for you prayers and good thoughts.

That makes it even harder, so sorry to hear that! After what you shared here, I am going to ask all my friends what their blood types are. I already know all my families' and they are compatible. That is wonderful you are feeling better, our bodies can be amazing in coming back from near death. I could well imagine that fear & let's hope you can just focus on mending

You are sure right about that sugar load! We will keep praying for you, now keep getting better, as we are all very concerned for you. Wish I was local to help in some way!!!

Lorichristie thank you so much for your kindness! It means so much to me! My church family has helped a great deal. They have made us meals all week. Brought me lots of fresh veggies and fruits. Even cleaned my house and done my laundry.
I just got done at the dr. And the great news Is my hemagloen (sp) is up to 8.7 my dr is so very pleased. I know it sounds weird but eating weeds helps. I have been munching on lambs quarters. Drinking red raspberry , alfalfa, stinging nettle, and mint tea. A quart a day in double concentration. Today I feel great. I even half loaded the dishwasher. I got up at 9.30 am instead of almost noon. Haven't napped yet. But will be doing that soon. Stairs still kick my butt so I will leave them alone.
Just wanted to share in the good news!

That's great to hear

Yep weeds and herbs usually have way more nutrition than foods we grow on purpose.

I just read this thread, I am so very sorry for your loss and your sickness, but I am so proud of your great attitude!

Please take care of yourself, I am praying for you.

Your welcome, wish I could do more, as I am sure most of the HTer's here feel the same way! That is soooo wonderful to hear about your Church family helping out so much

That is the way our Church family is, too, great folks! Yes, eating weeds is a major ticket to improving and retaining good health. I would ditto what Cliff wrote. Here we are sweating to grow all kinds of fruits/veggies, when the wild varieties often provide better nutrition! Baby steps

Thanks for sharing and keep us informed

Since I read your thread, you have been on my mind a lot. Despite having a lot of work to do around here, and not enough time in a day it seems, I have really worked extra hard. You can pat yourself on the back for inspiring me, too... See, the thing is, I was thinking about how much you are doing, are rising above, what you are triving for, and you have been fighting for your very life... There I was, feeling a bit frustrated with so much work, yet no excuse not to give it all I had (typically more my style). Thank you for that!!! So, I am heading back out to get a lot more work done...

Slowly my body heals and my mind wraps around everything. I have my moments Of sadness, anger, hurt and fear. My husband is a different person! Always rubbing my back. At night while he sleeps. He pulls my close and holds me tight like a little teddy bear. What he use to be anal about getting done matters nothing. I noticed him repeating some songs and cranking them. Sometimes a song says it better.

this one seems to be te most played.
We spend hours just holding each other, no more let me finish this. We are neve promised tomorrow. A kiss only takes a second and may be your last kiss.
I'm returning to health and I can't wait to be myself again. I have a heifer needing to be bred.
