Christmas In July Package Train!!! Read Post 3242!!! (pg 217)

[Norma Mackay-Rempel]

Good morning to all! Another nice sunny hot day in Turin today.

Congratulations Meshell!

I am also enjoying getting to know you all as well to! I really do mean that. I have been enjoying myself very much! It has been a lot of fun.

Those who feel they don't "belong" or whatever, I'm still there most of the time. Occasionally I have flashes of "they like me, they actually like!" But I still feel like a newbie to the site and trains. I am happy to see new faces on here, and I am enjoying getting to know everyone. Makes me want to travel across the country and meet everyone!! And I do not like to travel

I think yes we all have moments of insecurity but it might be a little easier on some of us if we were acknowledged when we do say Hi! to everyone and our posts are not ignored.....some of us get our feelings hurt.

Gwenad I think we all have those moments of insecurity, I know I do.

I love reading all of everyone's posts but most times I don't know what to say back it would be nice to know exactly what to say! Some people just have the gift! lol

Ditto here too... too bad we weren't all born with Pumpkin's confidence, man that girl's got it!

Nicer day here too, big storm late afternoon yesterday seems to have broken the humidity, for atleast a couple of days. Too bad I have 3, yes 3! days left of work as I have to work Saturday. Counting down the days until my holidays, I'm taking another 4 day weekend next week, then I'm off July 27-Aug 6th. (I miss the lunch day in T.O by one day! I totally would have taken the train in!)

Ok... off to make an attempt at some work this morning, hoping for a quiet day to get caught up on all my SC/Pinterest (lol!) and maybe file some paperwork and purge my desk...

That is the point it is how it makes me feel I don't like seeing others being hurt and then it makes me hurt. I have a lot of compassion. I just don't like seeing others in pain.

I think this is fitting sometimes we worry too much about what other people think of us to realize that the thing that really matters most is how we feel

Thank you!

K8, Norma big hugs being sent your way...I often feel that way too

Thank you!

I have a heavy heart too, I think we all feel bad "for" other people sometimes, its just important for us to not allow ourselves to be hurt "by" other people Thats what I meant by "the thing that really matters most is how we feel"

I agree. Sometimes it's hard to know what to say. But that doesn't mean you shouldnt still share. People are still listening (or in this case reading).

I am very sad to hear that other people's opinions are bringing my girls down. For the most part I care very little about what people think about me I have neither the time or the patience for their crap, but yesterday I got hit pretty hard. I have been in and out of the hospital since the 8th of may. Every specialist we meet said I was not going to make it, the cancer had spread all through my bowl and they had to install an illiostomy basically I am working off my small intestine food and liquid do not have the time to Obsorb into my body basically dehydrating and malnutritioning me. I was down to 78 pds. I couldn't convince anyone to help me they wanted to give me medication and keep me comfortable until I passed. Of course during this time my husband and my chain of command and our peer group seem very supportive. My husband was back and forth to the hospital, struggling to keep everything at home together and keep our kids from going over the deep end. During this he was often called and said this might be it so start making arrangements. I stopped breathing twice and had to intubated. I finally convinced them at the cancer centre to give me a chance to fight for my life, I spent two weeks in the hospital and was given a feeding tube port and am finally gaining weight and getting better. I personally am excited I am working on building my strength getting out and trying a little bike riding. So yesterday after my husband chain of command had told my husband don't worry about sick leave or anything just take care of your wife he is brought in. The start by saying people have seen you and Tami out, if she not going to die you need to come back to work, which is fine he has been off for about ten days in total and we new this was the time but its what they said after that blew my mind. The then went on to say people are upset because I have been seen out and people are mad because if I'm doing well we should be at work, I have been out of the hospital a week. The jest of the whole conversation is people are angry because they thought I was going to die and didn't. It made me wonder if people were only being nice because they though I was going to bite it, and how dare I try and get better. I'm probably over sensitive but I cried my eyes out over this, I mean really I don't want to die just to appease people, I really thought people would be happy that despite the odds I have pulled through for now.

sorry to rant thanks for listening, DH and I have decided to camp for another week and just commute in for the day. I just feel like right now everything I do is being judged. Heading to the corner with my gankie ( I call my blanket this short for skanky blanket because the pugs lay on it with me lol)

[gwennad]

Armygirl76 - I cannot imagine all you have gone through and it is truly inspiring that you are fighting so hard. They should be throwing you a party for fighting so hard and doing as well as you have. I am happy you have pulled through, even though I have never met you! You inspire me to enjoy my life more, to live more for me and to be grateful for everything I do have. Keep fighting, we are all here with you and celebrating your continued recovery.

[Norma Mackay-Rempel]

Oh my goodness that is horrible! People have no respect!!!! Don't they know that getting well is also being in the outdoors and being with your family! That just makes me absolutely sick. As long as you have your family supporting you that is all you really need. The love of your family will get you through this! You are a very strong and worthy woman! I can just see it in the words that you write!

I'm constantly thinking we need a dislike button for things like this as I really really dislike it. (but I know people would misuse it and dislike it for brags and things. haha)

Armygirl76 - you are a wonderful and amazing woman and I'm so so so so so sorry that people are complete idiots!

Armygirl.. I'm so sorry you have to deal with idiots like that when you are trying to get yourself well. If I wasn't so far away, I'd love to punch a few of them in the face for you... maybe not the ideal way to deal with it, but hopefully it would knock some sense into them.

Stay strong.. know that we are all here behind you, holding you up in the corner when you need it.

[Armygirl76]

Thank you all you give me such a safe place to land. I love you all you are so amazing.

OMG Tami reading this has me so angry I can hardly breath, those awful and hateful people can sit and count their blessings that I'm no where near you or they'd be very sorry people. Please do me a favor and get strong enough to go punch those AHoles right in the face!! I am disgusted with people! I'm so sorry you had to hear that, don't let it bother you for a minute, you are better person than they could ever hope to be.
