I was trying to tell you that your C. Panc. story really touched me, and I am sorry that you've had to endure so many years of suffering, and edical procedures, and the dought that medical people had back then of your C. Panc. diagnosis. You've had this thing for 32 years! Man, you are a survivor, and your positive attitude, and courage are inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story with me. I see that a lot of members are posting their stories here now. Everyone has interesting and varied experiences. Thanks, Henry >> Hi Everyone, I jump into a current thread and hope I am seeing the same point that is meant. I'll usually try and count on my belief that I am at the right place and at the right time, reading these as messengers of hope. We need each other so much, in so many different ways. The words of courage really spoke out to me. I praise every person living with this disease and their caregivers. Most of all it is a feel good post, and those always make me smile and we all need to capture those and hold them in our hearts and freely give them away. Henry, I really appreciated by welcoming the new comers. Karyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have the " Whipple, " probably later this month, and my doc. says this could help a lot with the stones, so I'm excited about getting that done, and having a better time. >> Hi Henry, I am so sorry that you had a stone attack. I know that must be very painful. I also am so sorry that you had a blood infection. I had two blood infections and I was in the hospital for 23 days. I had to take some big gun antibiotics. I hope I never have another blood infection. It could happen though since I am on tpn. Henry I sure hope all goes well with your Whipple. I will be praying for you. I will also pray that you will be very much improved when it is over. Take care and know that we are thinking of you. Shirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2000 Report Share Posted October 5, 2000 Dear Karyn, Thank you for the uplifting post! I agree with everything you stated, and it was nice of you to hop into a place, and share your feelings. It made my day brighter to know that you notice the various posts we all share, and you are so right on about how we NEED each other so much - so true, and that is part of the gift that you have been so generous to provide for all of us with this wonderful group online. Andre's' sharing of his courage and stamina has been inspirational to me, and I'm sorry that he is feeling so low now. I wish I could do something to help him, but like you said we can try to encourage one another with our encouraging one another, even though the person may not feel so hot. I went in last Wed. with another stone attack, got those removed while in hospital, and got my blood infection which started with my central line, they fixed me up with a new line which works better than the old because it doesn't have as much scar tissue to travel through. I came home Wed., and feel a bit better which I'm thankful for. I'll have the " Whipple, " probably later this month, and my doc. says this could help a lot with the stones, so I'm excited about getting that done, and having a better time. It was so nice to come home and see your post. I appreciate it all. You are a kind, giving person Karyn! God Bless you, and I sincerely wish for you better times ahead! Like in " Patch , " " Blue Skies I see! " Everyone in this group is a gift, and I appreciate all the love, and sharing from so many sick people who are struggling with their illness, and encouraging one another!

Your Pancreas Friend, Henry >> Hi Henry, The words that you have shared couldn't be put any better. It sums up the vision of the Network. There is something very special that is found within the hearts of each member. The experience, strength, and hope that is shared is soul gripping at best. To see such love and caring being shared when we all feel so bad is an opportunity for me to see the God in you, see the God in me, see the God in you. If you read that line again, I will make sense.
