I was on the computer, checking my emails and out of nowhere came one of those awful panic attacks.

I am so sorry, Sheri Ann. Last night I was dealing with a cramp in my lower right side. I KNOW I pulled a muscle, but could not quit fixating on it being bowel related & just maybe my appendix bursting): OMG! All of a sudden I got so tense & the quivering started. Then, downright shaking. My teeth were chattering. Of course, I was jumpy all over so the thought *seizure* came into mind. Needless to say, it was a bad one. I was alone & really noone to call. But, I gripped that phone like there was no tomorrow. Breathed & relaxed my way through it, thankfully. I have my *inner motor* running again): This is just plain old stress & fear.


Why am I telling you all this? So, you will know you're not alone. That these PA's WON'T harm us. Even if you did call an ambulance & I sure thought about calling one, it would NOT be the worse thing to happen in the world. Maybe we were having sympathy PA's for one another. LOL All I know is that we made it through last night & we'll do it again. Like Judy said, don't hold on to this. In your mind, picture every minute that passes, as a great distance from what happened. I already see mine as miles down an old dirt country road. I can just barely make it out. By this afternoon, it will be GONE from view.


Taking a nap sounds ideal. Everything came to a grinding halt here & I treated myself to a couple of good movies:) I hope you have a great day. If ya need anything, gf, you know where I live;) Good luck & GBU! (((hugs))) jan
