Beautiful. Thank you, I'm going to give her a call in a little bit and see how it went.

May I intrude and ask who the Lynn is and anything you might want to share? If you're rather not.... I totally understand and won't be offended in the least.

Lynn is one of the women I play Mahjong with. She is a kind and decent person who has been dealing with many health issues her whole adult life, lupus for one, but since last August there have been 2 additional problems. The first is she had bunion surgery and has had infection after infection since then, once they thought it was MRSA but it wasn't. Yesterday she went to Buffalo to a specialist to have a bone biopsy. The second thing is that the day she came home from her foot surgery she was rushed by ambulance to the hospital with a possible heart attack. They have taken her 3 times now and can't figure out what is wrong. It is very disconcerting to her, her family, and her friends. Through it all she is one of the most upbeat people I've ever met. She is only 62, which is young in my book, and has been sick with the lupus for many years. It's only been a little over a year since she came into my life, but it is like I've known her for years right from the beginning. We finish each others sentences and it may be weird, ok it is weird, but we break into silly songs while we play. It's just fun to be with her.
I tried to get ahold of her today but there was no answer. Try again tomorrow. Thanks for all your prayers as I think she needs them. If they could just figure out what the heck is going on would be a relief.

Sue; thank you for sharing the info on Lynn. It sounds like she's had a go of it! And yes; the frustrations can be something else when there's no official "diagnosis" She has a good friend in you. It's funny how you can "connect" with someone at times and I'm glad you found each other! She sounds like a great lady!... And yes; most definitely I will say a prayer for her  |

Finally talked to Lynn yesterday. She's doing ok, good attitude. They've put in a pick line and she's going to have 8 weeks of antis, but the dr's not guaranteeing it couldn't be longer. Poor girl. She has all the grounds for a law suit, but it'd be next to impossible to find a dr. around here to take her on in the future. She doesn't know what she'll do.
So thanks again for all your prayers. this could have turned out worse, I guess. She's a strong girl on the outside, but I'm sure the inside is scared.

A kind word, a mailed "thinking of you" or "pick me upper" card or phone call or flowers, or a "just popping in," can help tremendously. It's times like this that we don't know what to do or say when we have a friend or family member that's having medical problems. The biggest of course... is listening and being supportive.
I think Sue that fits you to a "T"

That's a great idea, Jackie! I send get well cards and just 'cos cards, but haven't sent one out to Lynn in months (and it's been months since this began). I'm going to go find a really goofy one tomorrow. Today at Mahjong we were remembering our youths, the jump rope ditties, street games, etc. What fun, and a break from all the seriousness. It's funny that, no matter how far the distance was in our group's growing up homes, we all learned the same things.
