Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Wow , what a frightening experience. I am glad things turned out well. When I was on pred. I went three and four days with no sleep- even taking ambian- So I do feel for you. I now keep books here beside my chair so if I can't sleep I read. But when I was on the prednisone I could not concentrate enough to read. I just sat like a big blob.. I do feel your sleepieness.. God Bless. Oh don't worry about your typing..I am the worlds worst... Love and Prayers, Peggy ipf Florida " Worry looks around, Sorry looks back, Faith looks up. " Hi Everyone , I dont post to often because I am a lousey typist but I read everyone's post. I wanted to have a pity party for myself because it was this time last year I got pneumonia and started my nightmare . It has been raining for days here in Chicago and thursday we had a bad storm so my power goes out for 48 hrs . I got 4 inches of water in my basement before the Home Depot opened so we could buy a generator. Leanne that is the reason I ddnt come to breakfast .( I looked horrible and smelled bad for sure.)When we got our power back I took a shower and started to read my e-mail . I felt happy for Judy and so sad for you .I have 2 girls and a son a few years older than you and it it really bothers me that you arent living the carefree happy life a sweet girl like you deserves. Kerry and you also make me feel how lucky that I was 57 before I got this disease. I was 26 when i was widowed and I prayed I would live long enough to see my children grow and God let me do that, now to see my 2 grandsons grow would be a bonus. Anyways the real reason I was writing is that I dont sleep well on the pred so I woke up this morning a 4:10 I looked at the clock and rolled over and couldnt get back to sleep thinking about 's and 's post and trying to think of something to say to them to make them feel better . I rolled over and looked down my hallway to see a figure in dark cloths I thought to myself why is my husband dressed like that and what is he doing, then I saw his face. I screamed what are you doing and he ran out the door. My husband woke up wondering why is she screaming and we dailed 911 . The police came and nothing seems to be missing . They guess I caught him right away but had it not been for the my angels taking care of me who knows,what could have happened. I havent mentioned all of your names here but I think and pray for all of you and I trully treasure all of the love and support you give me .

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 , Oh, how scarey!!! Beth had an incident similar to that. It would scare me to death!! This world has become such a wicked place. My 18 year old grandson got robbed of his wallet at gunpoint a couple of nights ago. He stopped at a stop sign on a country road. The man in the car in front of him got out and came back to Dylan's car. He thought he was going to ask for directions. He put a gun in his face and wanted his wallet. He had $14 !! I read the other day that if we have a car with an alarm system, we should sleep with the key on our nightstand. Is we hear an intruder, etc....push the alarm button and the sound of the ararm going off in the garage or driveway would perhaps scare the guy away. The article said to test your key alarm to see if it would work from where you sleep. He said that most would. Like you, my heart breaks for the young ones on our board. But even for the rest of us the pull of life is so strong. Especially the faces of the grandbabies. That is the hardest! My three youngest are all the same age. Once I was holding them all and all they had on were thier diapers. I held all those sweet warm babies close to me and I thought....Heaven is going to be better than this. Can you imagine?

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 , OMG!!! How terrifying.....I'm glad that you are alright. We ended up cancelling breakfast on Saturday because the restaurant had NO power either. Elmhurst got hit bad, too. Two days without power....yikes! I couldn't even imagine that. Luckily, (knock on wood) where we are we don't lose power too often. I think we've lost it twice in the 21 years we've lived there. I love you, girl. Leanne Need a vacation?

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Dear , How frightening that must have been. I am so glad that you and your family are ok. Hether is at NIH this week, and knowing her the way I do, I am sure she really appreciates the fact that you are just thinking of her. I hope everything with the house will get taken care of, and while this may seem unrealistic, I will pray that God will allow you to see your grandchildren grow up. Who knows with all the research that is going on, one never knows what God has up his sleeve. Again, I am glad that you scared the bad man away, and hope they catch his sorry you know what!!!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Oh my gosh ! You must still be shaking! Thank God you woke up-this must be one of the few times that being sleepless on prednisone is a blessing. I am always afraid that if something like that happens to me I'd freeze and be too startled to scream. Hope you get lots of rest today and that everything goes smoothly for awhile. You have definitely had enough excitement to last for the rest of the year.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Oh ! How scary! Thank GOD you woke up! I had something similar to that happen to me years ago. I was just out of college, living in a horrible apartment and I'd gone to the grocery early on a Sunday morning because I was supposed to help bring things for the coffee hour at church. While I was carrying in some groceries, I'd left my front door open. I went to get ready for church and there was a strange man standing in my closet!!! He'd apparently gotten in while my door was open and my back was turned. I'd always heard that if anyone ever tries to attack you, to do something they wouldn't expect. So, instead of acting all scared, I started crewing him out for being so rude as to be in my closet. I said, "What do you think you're doing in here - no one invited you in here - get the hell out - what would your mother say.....etc." He looked totally shocked and left. I called the cops. Turns out he was also a bit disoriented and high - man I dodged a bullet that day! After that my dad tried to give me a gun as a present. I turned it down. I told him I thought it was a really bad idea to give a blind woman a gun - that you shouldn't point something like that at someone unless you intend to use it - and especially not being able to see well, I'd hesitate.

So, instead of acting all scared, I started crewing him out for being so rude as to be in my closet. I said, "What do you think you're doing in here - no one invited you in here - get the hell out - what would your mother say.....etc." He looked totally shocked and left. I called the cops. Turns out he was also a bit disoriented and high - man I dodged a bullet that day! After that my dad tried to give me a gun as a present. I turned it down. I told him I thought it was a really bad idea to give a blind woman a gun - that you shouldn't point something like that at someone unless you intend to use it - and especially not being able to see well, I'd hesitate.
