Hi Cindy, my name is Annie,and I have just been going thru some of the
IAS board posts & noticed one you wrote to Shawna F. I like you have
suffered with adhesions for a long time, in fact I've been suffering for
38 years! When I was so sick in my teens and nobody could explain it it
was ever so difficult. I have suffered alone and finding sites like
bombo & the IAS showed me that I was not alone, although I felt so alone
for so long. Now I experience some memoriable moments in sharing my
life experiences with fellow sufferers but like you have had trouble
writing my story. So far I've posted up till 1995 (from 1964) on
bombobeach.com but as that became a nightmare of a time for me, I am
having trouble coming to terms with it all & getting on & completing my
story. I will complete it & now I am starting to feel ready to do it
but when I try words just fail me - it is so difficult to put into words
a stage of my life that was so traumatic but I promise everyone that it
will be finished before Christmas. It is really good therapy writing of
your experiences ( although you wish not to remember them)& now after
reading so many of the stories on the quilt I realise that I have not
been alone for all those years & will never be alone again! Everyone
younger than me has had the benefit of the computer age & internet - I
didn't until just a few months ago but I will thank God for the blessing
He has given me in leading me to these sites.May you enjoy some pain
free hours.
Annie
