Comments on: Yesterday’s Luncheon http://goatrevolution.com/blog2/2009/08/04/yesterdays-luncheon/ Marla's adventure from Aplastic Anemia and beyond Sat, 11 Feb 2012 08:16:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Administrator http://goatrevolution.com/blog2/2009/08/04/yesterdays-luncheon/comment-page-1/#comment-40198 Administrator Tue, 11 Aug 2009 07:33:45 +0000 http://goatrevolution.com/blog2/2009/08/04/yesterdays-luncheon/#comment-40198 Thanks, Kim! Yes, my sisters did do a lot for me! I think it was my second sister (the donor organizer) that you must have spoken to back in those days. She's the one that kept in touch with our office to make sure you all had the updates on me. My other sister, the nurse, worked on the medical side making sure that I was hooked up okay and on the days that I was too weak to walk, she'd wheel me there. I really fought the idea of having to use a wheelchair, but when I could barely walk up to the procedures center, I had to give in to that. It was either wheel me up or pass out. . . ha! Have you ever felt like lying on the lobby floor of a hospital? LOL She even wanted me to get a handicap tag so I could park closer, but I put my foot down on that one! Ha! And yes, Brian was soooo supportive during my recovery. I have been humbled by his devotion and faithfulness in helping me in my recovery. Once I made up my mind to go natural, he defended me all the way. Whatever I needed, he made sure I got. Not once did he even hint that I was making a mistake to go natural. When I look back at my situation, I KNOW that I have been blessed. Not many people have the support I got or the circumstances that allowed me to do what I did (the logistics of my house to hospital, my good insurance, the abundant availability of organic foods and equipment like juicers, dehydrators, etc., my great family support, the financial means, etc.) I only wish more people would be so blessed, and it has helped me to see how it's so important that we all help each other. It was a very trying period in my life, but I've learned a lot from it. Also thanks for the congrats on Andrew's AA degree. He actually got it last fall, and has gone on to continue at CSULA. If all goes well and according to plan, he may finish his BS this summer! Okay, you take care and enjoy those babies! Marla Thanks, Kim! Yes, my sisters did do a lot for me!

A family awards ceremony! I agree, you have a great family. It seemed to most of us that your sister had a lot to do with keeping you going during your AA rollercoaster. Of course, your husband continued things by doing so much research on your natural healing diet. Congratulations to Andrew on his degree! :) P.S. Love the kitty bowls! What a great idea!
