(((Sue)) I think you are a very useful engine. Sorry a Thomas the Tank Engine reference. I look forward to reading your posts to me or to others. You are a kind wonderful woman.

In fact on days where I am crunched for time, if I see that you have posted a welcome or some kind words to someone here...well....I worry less. I know that a well thought out post has happened, and I can find time later to post to that person.

Everyone here has meaning and value. You take out time to give caring that is honest and genuine.

So to answer your question.

YES!!!! You are being helpful here.

Sending hugs and good thoughts your way.
Take care,

Sue,

I mostly just read as I'm not in a great place a lot of the time, but your post prompted a reply.

I think your responses as well as being honest, heartfelt, well thought out, informative, and very helpful are very uplifting. I never feel you've given too much advice and even though i've never asked for it myself when a situation is close to mine I always feel supported with your responses.

I hope this is constructive and that you aren't feeling guilt because you are great at what you do here. Please don't stop. Those you have helped, are helping and will help all need you.

Thank you for EVERYTHING

(((((HUGS)))))

(((Mel))) Welcome to the board! I hope in time you will feel more and more comfortable with posting. I find that even if I am feeling bad, I do post to people that I feel connected to. This is what happened here. That is awesome that you posted such a kind and caring message.

See how wonderfully you fit in with all the other sweet and amazing women here.

We are not super women, just humans trying to make their way through a difficult illness.

Welcome Mel!!!

Sending hugs and good thoughts your way.
Take care,

Yes, I definitely agree with what everyone else has posted...all of your posts that I've read have been kind, helpful, uplifting, sympathetic...you're a great addition to the board. And for me especially, it's great to have someone who is in the same career field that I'm working towards, and someone who has had some similar experiences and can offer support and advice (yes, I've found the advice you have helpful as well!). So thanks, if I haven't said it before,

Sue: I agree with every positive thing all the others have said. I always enjoy your answers to everyone, and anytime you reach out for a hug or support, I always try and give you that too.

I so rely on you and many others here on the board, I wouldn't change a thing, and sharing your medical knowledge is very helpful also.

I wish I lived closer to you, we could do 12 step meetings together, wouldn't that be a hoot? hugs, Josie.

Sue, like the others, I really enjoy reading your posts; you are upbeat and open, and often have good ideas. Please keep doing what you're doing!
