How Can I Thank You?

[Grace]

Well, I don't know what to say. I'm so completely over-whelmed by all the love and support from my very dear friends, now family, here on WLSurgery.

We got home last night about 5pm to a freezing cold house and immeditely had to have British Gas out to repair the boiler. Brrrrrrrr! Poor lad, he arrived at 9pm and left at 11.30, soaked because the boiler had sprung a leak! Must be running in the family!

Anyhow, that isn't the point. The point is to say a HUGE personal Thank you to you all for caring so much and for praying so fervently. I don't think I've ever felt so loved, and lurking on here last night whilst the poor gas man struggled to repair the boiler outside my bedroom door, shed quite a few tears.

It was very horrible, frightening and ohhhhhh...can't really describe it all. But I feel sure all your love and thoughts pulled me through.

Thank you especially for the cards sent and for the wonderful visits from Liz and Paul, Kay, Christine and Jacci, which I know bucked Chris up as well as me. And of course to those who kept the forum updated, wonderful Stephie, Liz, Jacci and Christine, Kelly and Bev.

LOL this feels like an Oscar winners' speech....but in a way, I can see how, because I can't imagine a group of people making someone feel more special!

I'm now hopefully on the mend. I feel like I've been hit by a train and don't look too much different: my wounds and bruises are a sight to behold! I'm still very, very sore, not eating much but back to basic functioning. I think Mr Balapuri knew I was at the point where I could recover better at home and I think I will. Hospital is an exhausting place to be. I have to take it very easy. I get my many staples out Monday. My tum looks like a road map!
So once again Thank You all. My love and thoughts go out to you all. You are an amazing and just very, very special bunch of people. I wonder if what we have extra in pounds, we (shed or un-shed), we also have in love, care and compassion? Because the compassion and care on this site just oozes out.

Wooohooooo, our little Charis is home How wonderful to see you posting again! We were all so worried for you hun and trust me there has been more than a few tears shed in the last few days on here! Im not religious but I even had a word with the big guy upstairs for you Seriously though hun, Im am so chuffed to see you back, just be very very careful and dont be tempted to overdo things .
You are a very special lady and you have been massively missed (HUGS) XXX

 

[gaelic girl]

Charis the biggest "thank you" you have given us is by coming back to us safe and sound that was all we needed and wanted. I too was very worried and for once felt very helpless i would love to have been nearer to visit but you were never far from my thoughts. It is brilliant to see you posting again and i actually feel quite emotional typing this( i'm a delayed reaction person) thats my excuse anyway lol. Take it very easy hun baby steps until you can build your strength up and please give Chris my best wishes he must have been to hell and back too and i can only imagine his joy at having you back home. You are one hell of a lovely not to mention strong lady and hun its such a relief and a pleasure to say WELCOME BACK CHARIS lots of love and hugs xxx
