Robin,
Gosh, how I hurt for you! Please contact me stew@cowtown.net. I will go to
the quilt to see if I can read more about you. This money problem for a lot
of people is making me angry!!!!! We shouldn't have to beg, borrow, plead,
sell to be able to get to Germany!! I am going to go to work to find ways we
can start a fund for women so desperate. Okay, the fund has started!!!
Today!!!!! Our work is slow, however today I am placing $1,000.00 aside to
go into an ARD fund. You women that don't have insurance or enough money are
going to get help!! I will beat the bushes....more later. Let me find out
how to get this established. If anyone out there (Helen, Jo??) can let me
know---maybe there is already a fund established?????? If so, where do I
send my money?? I don't want to send money to any research places, etc., but
an actual fund that women can count on getting them where they need to go
and the means to get there without worry! Quit selling your precious things!
Love,
Karen

Dear All
I don't post much, but I read everyday what is going on with everyone &
pray for all every night. I havent been doing too well lately. My pain
is just horrible. I havent slept all night since my open abdominal
surgery in June. They found out that my O2 level drops while I sleep,
which might prove to be sleep apnia. I go in for a sleep study on
Thursday night. I hope they will have the answer to my sleep problem
soon. I am still trying to raise money to get to Germany, but it is
going really slow. I have already sold most of my beloved cat & frog
collection on e bay & had some raffles. I sometimes feel I will never
get my life back! I have just been down. I have suffered from bi polar
since pre teen, so being 41, I should be used to the lows, but, I am
not. I just feel so desprate. Although my family, (my hubby & kids)
are very supportive & take great care of me, sometimes they get tired of
hearing about it. I just feel like screaming sometimes!! I hurt like
H___ & I am tired of it. Some days, I am holding on by a thread, most
days, I am good, but, sometimes, it just gets to me really bad. I hate
the crying & feeling sorry for myself. My grandma always told me there
is always someone worse off than me & I believe it, but, somedays are
just too much!! I am glad I have a place that I can come & let these
feeling out. I think getting them out helps. Thanks for taking the
time to read this.
love to all robin M
