OMG, I am so scared....NVR...
I was just taking garbage out and missed a phone call. It was my friend's number. Best friends since we were 4. That is 45 years of friendship. Janet lives out west and has been ill for years. Mastectomy, part of her bowel removed, hysterectomy, a bag for going to the washroom. She has been deathly ill before and last time I talked to her, she didn't want to go on because she is constantly in pain (even has a morphine drip). I just called her back and her husband answered the phone. He is a minister. I asked if Janet was there and he said she wasn't available. I said, Hi it is Diane, she just called me. He said, can I call you back, I am just on another line. Are you at home. I am so afraid she has passed away or about to. If he is on another line and I only missed the call by a minute, something is gravely wrong. Please please, think positive thoughts because right now while waiting for the call, I am a basket case.
Oh no! I'm sending good vibes!
:-\
I think he would've said something. Sending good vibes.
Her husband just called me. Janet got really bad and had to have emergency surgery two days and is in ICU. She had to have some intestine removed and she went for 15 minutes without oxygen to the brain. Her stomach was affected too. It is not looking good because she has gotten progressively more ill and weaker over the last few years. They have kept her heavily sedated. Even if she recovers from this, she will still be extremely ill and constantly in pain. I don't know if I should wish that she goes peacefully or recovers but lives in constant pain. 45 years is one heck of a long friendship. We have laughed and cried over most everything. Although our lives have changed dramatically over the years, we still always keep in touch. We haven't lived near each other in over 30 some odd years. I feel helpless because I don't even live close so that I can go and see her and tell her how much I love her. I told her husband to tell her but it is not the same.
One of the reasons Janet wanted to hang on was for her 4 year old grand daughter. Her grand daughter knows what is going on and is very scared. Janet even talked about visiting me this fall although we both knew no airline would allow her to fly in her condition.
I don't know, maybe it is time for her to just go and be at peace. Sorry I have rambled. I am not thinking straight right now.
She is on life support.

Once again, I want to thank each and every one of you. As of today, Janet is still not doing well although their have been improvements in some areas, her heart is not causing huge worries. The main problem is that she will never be well. This was emergency life saving surgery. Not surgery that will make her healthy. If she survives, she will still live in pain. It is a horrible situation. They are also worried about brain damage and what it has done to her motor skills.
Again, thank you all for your concern for Janet, her family and friends. It truly means a lot to me, More than you will ever know!
Hugs
Di
