Lifelines Needed...and... What If?

[Guest guest]

This list has been a lifeline for us...especially as the illness progresses,

family (except for one daughter, AmyRose) and so-called friends have all but

disappeared. Our Lyme family is all that we have as lifelines, in good times and

bad. Like any family, we have our squabbles, and we have good times and bad. We

get over it and we get on with the important stuff, which is supporting each

other.

What if...I woke up one morning and this list wasn't here? What if it hadn't

been here last Thursday when went into the hospital? I don't think I could

have survived this one, though I've been through so much before with this

dratted disease. This would have been too much to handle alone, and there would

have been NO WHERE else to turn.

You guys were my LIFELINE during the dark of that night and all the next hours

through our latest ordeal. No one else to turn to. If you hadn't been there, I

hate to think what would have happened.

Love you guys, Rose
