Positive Energy/Prayers needed

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Beyond the Sidewalks : One Thread

Hi guys I don't know if this is an appropriate posting or not, I apologize if it's out of line but I'm a bit frantic right now. I just found out that one of my very best friends, Jim, is in the hospital with acute renal failure. He only has one kidney because he donated the other one to his sister several years ago. He also is a diabetic. I don't have any specific information except that they aren't sure if he's going to pull through.

I mentioned on another post a while back that I went through a severe personal crisis a few years ago. Jim was one of the few people who stood by me during this time, I could call him at any time day or night and he would be there. In the past year I have been a very bad friend to him. I need to apologize and make amends. I hope that it's not too late.

Thanks

Prayers and positive energy coming your way and your friend's, Sherri. I'm sure you realize you hafta 'forgive' yourself for any stuff you're carrying around about how good a friend you've been or not. Guilt uses up energy you need for helping him heal now, dear.

We all do the best we can......... Blessings,

Positive karma is on it's way from me too, Sherri! Leave the guilt behind, and go forward, the past we can do nothing about and is a waste of time worrying about, but the future IS OURS to make of it what we want. Be the friend you want to be now.

Aw man, that is rough for both of you. Healing thoughts headed his way; and yours too. If he was a very good friend, he knows your heart and has forgiven you already. Hugs to you,

Sending a beam in your direction . . .

And, IMO, this is a perfectly appropriate thread.

Thanks everyone. I saw Jim at the hospital yesterday and he is doing much better. He went into the hospital on Friday, but thanks to the internet's little quirks I didn't get the email until Sunday, so while I was freaking out yesterday he was already out of danger. His blood pressure has stabilized (it was down to 60 over zero) and his kidney is making urine again. The doctors want to keep him until at least Tuesday to make sure that they have all his medications balanced correctly. We had a good talk, and a good cry. I'm going to stop by the hospital on my way home from work tonight and make sure that everything is still going OK.

I just found out that Jim is being released from the hospital today! Thanks so much to everyone who sent along prayers and good wishes. To quote his wife "I used to wonder if this sending positive energy stuff really worked. Now I know that it does."

Hi, Sherry.

Sorry I'm late with my positive vibes to you. I am a firm believer in sending positive energy. It's worked so many times for me. Be good to yourself, too. We all need that. I'm so glad your friend is better. Hope you are too.

Wishing you enough.
