More JoAnn updates

12 years ago

I just spoke with JoAnn. She is so exhausted from all the stress and not feeling well. Just too much bad news all at once!

She does have to have a hysterectomy in a couple weeks. She also has more doctor visits/testing/examinations before her surgery.

Her DH came home from the hospital yesterday. He is suffering from liver problems.

Please continue your good thoughts and prayers for them both. I believe soon you may all hear from her personally. She knows I'm posting and she thanks you all for your kindness.

I can just imagine how draining all this is on her, and with her own health issues happening I'm sure her hubby is feeling like he is contributing to them. I;m sending lots of healing white light their way and pray that they both be granted the strength, faith and fortitude to get thru it all together.

Tell her there are probably a lot of us who can relate to her right now...and feel for her.

I'm one of them...I had mine removed 16 years ago.

A friend of mine had hers removed a week ago today.

I'll keep her in my prayers.

JoAnn's Rant!! Beware

I ordered something online at joann.com, on sale of course, and every few weeks they would send me another email that it was still backordered ... still backordered ... several months went by. Finally I did a google search for the item, found the manufacturer, and bought it directly from them for less $$, and they shipped it right away. I will admit I got the info from joann.com's picture, which helped me in my search, so they are good for something LOL.

Colleen, how old is your White? I've read that the new White's (and Singer's, etc.) are not like the old ones . . . so hopefully yours is newer? Keepmeinstitches: this is one of the illusion costumes I've made . . . usually people think there's more than one person inside (especially after a few drinks, lol!) They're great to see in motion because I have to walk like the main part, in this case, like Frankenstein. This one has an inner frame that I have to crawl up into; the costume is 7 feet tall! I also made an illusion gorilla/lady in red, an old lady/baby and a 10-foot upside down clown. (Poor DH dreads them because he has to find places to store them and they're huge!)

Man, to think of JoAnn in a bad mood is mind boggling. I'm glad she's feeling better except for the leg business. I didn't realize until I read a post today that she's your daughter-in-law. Let me say you have a great son and even greater daughter-in-law. Thanks for keeping us updated on how they are doing. It's a hard time for them and you, too.

I had mine in 1995 and left the hospital, went home and promptly began cleaning my house - absolutely NO vac. the carpets, though, for SIX WEEKS - believe them when they tell you to avoid stairs and abdomenal movements.

Just sending hugs and good thoughts. Sometimes we just get overwhelmed and would rather just run away and hide. And sometimes we must learn to say NO to everything and everyone until life balances itself out.
You will make it.

JoAnn, I've been really worried about you and your DH. Just want to let you know you're both in my prayers and I'm thinking postive thoughts for you both.

Please consider getting a second opinion for both of you. I sure wish I had before I had my hysterectomy. It's important!!

Hi,
Things still are not good for DH, he feels worse now, but does not want to return to the hospital. It was a terrible experience for his first time in the hospital. If the lord does not intervene soon it may be over for him. He does not want a transplant either.
Keep saying prayers for us. Thank you all so much.

I'm sorry you and hubby are suffering these health problems. I so hope the Lord does intervene and DH gets himself back in the hospital. Is there another one nearby that he would be willing to give a chance? Prayers and healing thoughts coming your way.
