You are all so incredibly special and wonderful people. Someone would probably say something like "you don't know what your posts and support meant to me", but I think that most of you probably do. On more than one occasion your kindness brought tears to my eyes when I read the posts that Falls brought in to me.
I want to say publicly too, that no-one could have a better friend than I. Falls is a rare kind of woman, with a heart much larger than a body could ever contain. I am honesstly humbled to know that she is my friend.
As far as what happened, I was having hallucinations and other problems. I tried to get some help, but the system didn't work for me. One night, I lost it, and od'd. I spent about three days in the hospital... ER, and then telemetry, while getting my blood cleaned via mucomyst (Yeeeecccccchhhhhhhh!!!), and then something over a week in the psychiatric part of the hospital.
I am really tired now. I didn't realize how much this has taken out of my body until I had to cope with heat, stairs, and the like. I really hurt myself this time, and it's going to take some time to get over it. It's going to take some work in other ways too.
Falls will be glad to know that it seems I've found another place to live. I still haven't worked out the cost and timing, but it would be a far better situation than I have now. (And she has a dog!) (And I really like the dog!) (And the dog really likes me!)
So, I'm recovering. I learned some very important things while in the hospital, and I'm going to work really hard to remember them.
Thanks again to all of you for holding me up when I couldn't stand. You've become a really important part of my life. Special thanks to ZenHussy and FallsFalls. You've both done so much for me that I can't thank you enough. I love you both.Dee.
