Dear Chrissie,

Cheryl texted me today to alert me to the fact that I somehow completely missed your post to me!!! I have no idea how that actually happened! I’m so sorry that it took me this long to respond!

I so wish you lived in the States, Chrissie. I’m sure everyone wishes that! You’d have access to better healthcare, that is for sure. I wish you had had an American surgeon work on you this last time. There are probably a lot more services for people recovering from surgery here, too. Every time I try to imagine how you had to take public transportation to medical facilities, it just makes me angry. I am no longer truly a fan of Western medicine at all anymore. Pretty much 90% of the procedures and medications I took before two years ago were like poison to my body. I certainly cannot go back to birth in a time machine and do my life over again, but I can fight, fight, fight to get my body back in balance and not make the same mistakes ever again. I think you are an incredible warrior for all you have been through...and so has Holly been.

I have about a week and a half left in New England. I thought I would be more emotional about leaving, but that hasn’t happened. I will certainly miss being able to see my friends, but I will certainly keep in touch with them. I’m sure some will visit as well.

I really enjoyed our last Skype chat...hopefully we can have another once I settle in to my new life. I’m so happy that I will be five minutes away from an organic farm and reasonably close to a Sprouts. Both Peter and Mel and others on the forum have given that store a serious thumbs up. Everything I eat now is organic, and I am shocked at the lack of choices where I live. New England has an incredibly short growing season, which is a huge problem.

Once again, I did not intentionally neglect your post...I just missed it somehow! I will chalk that one up to brain fog, even though I have a lot less of that lately.

I’m sending you a big hug and my love!

Jamie

Dearest Cheryl,

I honestly hope that I will pick up quite a few charming Southern expressions once I have been in North Carolina for awhile! The move is less than three weeks away! Eek!!!

And I will be closer to you than I am now, that is for sure! I am sad that I am leaving Maria and Donald who both live very close to me. I’m thrilled that I was actually able to see Maria once, even though it was through a glass door!

There are so many wonderful people like you that I would love to meet in person and give them HUGE HUGS! I hope you and Sonny are doing well!

Love you!!!

Jamie

Hello Jamie!

Oh humour is so important isn't it!! I think sometimes that newbies come on our prayer call and are surprised to hear us all laugh during fellowship!

Ha ha sometimes if we giggle too much people may think that we have all gone a wee bit crazy!!! But the opposite is true, the laughter helps to keep us FROM going crazy :-).

Our very own Joyce always says to me," that the day we give up laughing is the day that we have given up the fight!! " And that ain't happening :-).

Yes Jamie, Aloe vera is soo helpful re digestive issues I take it with every meal. It is so good that it comes from a plant and is not a man made chemical!

My dog Holly swears by slippery elm gruel at the end of her meals and it helps her IBD . Slippery elm being a demulcent is so soothing and healing to the lining of the stomach and intestines. I love the fact that Native Americans have used it as a natural medicine for hundreds of years. The Slippery Elm or Red Elm tree is native to North America. It is a source of calcium, iron, vitamin c, vitamin b1, magnesium and zinc. Hence why wee Holly has nice fur and bright eyes and is nearly ten years of age.

Looking forward to hearing your new Southern accent after a while down South :-). Oh, I love Southern American accents very much!

It's soo cool that many of Alan's family will live near your new home . Also some of your mums friends, former students and some close friends of yours too!!

Aw I think wee Lilly will be just fine as long as she has her mama!! My wee cat was absolutely fine, all she needed was me.

I'm glad to hear that since retiring you have the time and energy now to tune in to what your body and mind needs :-).Slow walking and enjoying your surroundings and slow eating and taking time to savour the food which in turn helps your digestion is a win win situation!!

Thanks Jamie re your understanding regards my health. It was a very hard year last year for me, having two major surgeries in one year it really does take a toll on one. Not to mention my dad suddenly dying too. It was a lot to manage, living on my own. However, I have been blessed to have made some very lovely friends through this community who have helped me through :-).

You know we ALL develop strong endurance and perseverance with everything we go through with this disease. I agree with Mel that we are all, 'warriors,' absolutely!!!

It was very nice to catch up with you on our call last week. I know you are moving the third week of July! I hope the move goes smoothly! Take good and gentle care during it all.

Best of luck,
Chrissie
