Pangs of heartbreak.

A close friend had a bad fall and is recovering in the hospital. Broken ribs, broken pelvis and a broken vertebrae. She is in a body cast. We have been so worried and we won't visit until she is moved to a physical rehab. center. The undeniable feeling of wanting to help and check on her is literally eating away at a group of us. This incident has brought up so many feelings and memories of how it was when I was confined to a rehab. hospital a couple of times. Of course you know that your friends and family are worried sick, yet there isn't much you can do to console them. It's exhausting pretty much to visit, and not pleasant at all to have them see you when you are down. You work hard at trying to get back to your normal or even a tiny speck of an inch of your normal. So, even though I get "it", it is the worst thing someone can go through. The feeling of being cut off from the world like you are void of all freedoms. So, I am offering the only thing I can to you my friend Mary; Prayers and good thoughts to you always as you fight this horrible battle. I wish you peace and fast healing and hope you know that we are all here for anything, anytime. And this also goes out to your kids and sweet Bill. You are loved woman!
