Hello Friends,<P>As my topic/subject indicates...<BR>I wish I could help more...<P>My eyesight is still <B>very</B> blurred after being discharged from the hospital almost a week ago. I've seen both my regular physician(Wednesday) and an opthalmologist(sp?) (today, Thursday.) Until my blood sugar regulates itself better... I will continue to have blurred vision. That limits my time here on the board. Reading/writing 5-7 words per line and only 5 lines at a time makes it very strenuous... on the eyes and mind.<P>Please help out the newbies...<BR>They're coming... and they need so much help with so much pain...<P>I'll try to read/post as best I can. Unfortunately not at the level I was able to before.<P>I have a lot more time in contemplative meditation now... a good thing... [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Prayers to all of you... [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Jim

Hi Jim,<P>I'm a bit worried about you right now. love and hugs your way. I'll keep it short for your poor old eyes.<P>I've just posted to sadpete, and used something you say. It's the comment about not hating the person, but hating WHAT they are doing.<P>My little bit to help you. In no way could I ever fill your shoes, however, so much of what you have said has stayed with me. I just passed it along.<P>hope you're feeling ok within yourself, keep us posted. Are those wonderful children looking after Daddy?<P>love <P>Jo

Jim, <BR>Don't know if I have ever posted to you before, but I certainly have benefited from your presence on this board. You have (and hopefully will continue) provided an invaluable service to this BB. Your "welcome" posts are great and I for one am glad someone is taking care of that! I did not realize there was a "book" section until tonite and for that I also want to express my gratitude to you. <P>I hope you are on the mend. I said goodby to my appendix about 20 years ago and have never regretted it. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] <P>I don't know your whole story coz you seem usually to be cheering others on, but if your marriage does not survive, there will surely be a long line of women who would love to be the recipiant of the new skills you have learned and shared here!<P>Thank you for all you have contributed here!<P>Sincerely,<P>Beth

Jim,<P>Prayers and hugs are with you tonite. I hope you get back to full recovery as soon as possible. Is this blurred vision a result of diabetes (my mom has this) or the appendix? I hope you feel better soon. Dana<BR>
