+*+*+*+*+ If tomorrow never comes, And this day marks end of mine, I will leave with no regrets, And leave this plane with peace of mind. I have traveled far and wide, I have seen and done it all. I have loved and I have conquered, I have climbed every wall. I have given of my best, Been the best that I could be. I have learned and I have grown, And I have shared what I did see. +*+*+*+*+ [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (12-03-2003 05:53 PM).] |

I had a big health scare yesterday. The doctor sent me to the hospital for a severe allergic reaction to an insect bite and I was going into shock. Well, the angels saved me again! Anyahoo, it gave me reason to take stock of my life as if it were my last day on this Earth ~ which it very well could have been! I'm still heeeeerrrre! lol   |

KoKo ~ Have no idea. But I'm in more pain than I could e'er express! The nerve endings are all inflamed in a massive area and into the muscles and I am on bedrest and on more meds than you can imagine! Between Western medicine and Eastern medicine with some self-healing thrown in for good measure and my angels working overtime, I should be okay in a few days. Thanks for your concern, my sweet little KoKo Puff! Loves 'n hugs, Linda |

:O! Oh, Linda!!! I'm so sorry!!! -Big hugs!- I hope you're better SOON!! That sounds so horrible  When I was about five years old, I was walking in my woods and ended up stepping into a bees nest that was covered in grass. I didn't understand what was happening, so I just kept jumping up and down on the nest. I had to lie on the couch and be absolutely covered in ice cubes. Luckily, I wasn't allergic, though! My mom is, but I'm not. But, hey, maybe that man o' yours will make YOU pineapple ham for breakfast now!!! LOL! |

KoKo ~ You truly are precious, ya know! I'm on ice packs for 10 minutes, then hot packs for 5 ~ on and off all day! I'm in too much pain to lie on my back so I strap the packs to my back and sit here at the computer trying to get my mind off of this agony! I'm such a baby at times! Love ya! Linda |

GG ~ I'm sorry that you know what such a scare is like! Thank you for caring! From your poetry and the replies that you write, I know you have a heart of pure gold. The nerves are healing now and they itch like all get out! But I can't scratch them because they are inside my body! Egads, I'll be glad when this is finally over and I'm back to my normal abnormal! lol Loving hugs, Linda |

I have traveled far and wide, I have seen and done it all. I have loved and I have conquered, I have climbed every wall. This gives no truer meaning and purpose...wonderfully written and expressed I loved reading this...full of enlightenment and encouragement of what truly is. |
