Thank You

,

I cried for weeks after being diagnosed......at work, at home, in the

grocery store, at church......I found out that it is part of the

process......my neurologist suggested Paxil because handling the news was

not the easiest thing.......

I took it for 3 months before surgery and although I kept on crying I can

tell that my emotions were a bit more under control.

Welcome to the group, I am glad you found it!

thank you

I was really low this morning. I didn't want to call my husband

while I was here at work, because I knew I'd start crying. Before

Chiari I would have never cried at work. Now I've done so twice and

am embarassed about it.

So, I didn't call him, cause I knew I'd cry. Just sad and sick of

the whole thing. Basically, feeling very sorry for myself.

I decided to look up Chiari on the internet and stumbled across the

Chiari group, this group. I wrote an email to you and have been

communicating with Chiair members all day.

What an open, giving group you are! You welcomed me like a long lost

friend and your knowledge of the subject is amazing.

Just wanted to say thank you and you should be proud of yourselves!

You are a great Chiari family!

I have a new outlook on my illness and new found hope thank to all of

you. God bless you.

Thanks,

I received a wonderful gift in the post recently, and can't pinpoint who all

was involved in this wonderful gift - so I feel that it's best to approach

you all and thank you personally.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity in this gift of love, I will

thoroughly enjoy my spa treat - it will be a first for me and one that I

will remember fondly and know that those involved were reaching out in just

such a loving way. I thank you for that.

This year has started out to be a tough one, it caught me off guard and that

is just so foreign to me. Many of you know that I have been ill lately and

although I am improving in so so many ways, the emotional toll of my

husband's affair has taken over where the illness left off. It was well

over a year ago that I discovered my husband's affair and now as he travels

through his own journey of mental illness, his desperate need to reinvent

himself and his desire to leave his old life behind, the children he left

behind and I work to reinvent our family, and grow comfortable in our new

roles. left our home in August, when it was clear that he wasn't able

to be honest and true to us, and his new life leaves little room for us. My

children are terrific though and are patient and kind. We are a new family

now and better than before in so many ways.

So as I navigate the Canadian legal system to secure for my children and

myself, a stable future - your kindness and support has been so appreciated

and welcome. I thank you for that and this wonderful gift will remind me to

have faith in the goodness of people and to be grateful for what I do have

in my life - a huge extended family!

Thank you!
