Jeannine,

Really want you to take it easy and feel better. I’m glad you trust your doctors — that is so important — and I hope you will get the support you need.

Jeannine, I’m sorry to hear you’ve had these health problems, but glad they have a diagnosis, which means a treatment approach. Difficult symptoms, but easy to brush aside, I understand. Good that you went to a specialist and thank you for your honesty and openness. There’s lots of help and support around and I hope many doors open to bring it to you.

I’m sorry to hear this but I applaud you writing this and, of course, I continue to applaud your excellent writing! Sending you good thoughts that, when cashed in, entitle you to free Starbucks.

Jeannine,

You are a powerful woman with a powerful voice in poetry and other ways. I’m sorry you have this diagnosis and the physical problems, but I think it’s good you let the world know and now you can move on and up those stairs; one at a time. A diagnosis is just that; not a definition; keep exploring all kinds of ways to nuture yourself and your family and your writing.
Best Wishes,
Gayle Kaune

Ditto on what others have written, that I’m glad you have more information and hope of good treatment–and I think you’re right to just go ahead and put the information out there.Sometimes being upfront does close a door or two, but it always opens others. And screw the door-closers, anyway.

Jeannine — I’m so sorry to hear about the news, but glad that you know have a diagnosis to work with…dealing with the unknown is troubling and exhausting.

And I know you can sell books as good as any poet out there! 🙂

I have been following you on facebook for sometime, so was aware you had health issues. I also have health issues, and a lot of the things you have, I also have or have had.

You get to know how little or how much you can do. I pray that things will get easier for you. God bless

Oh sweetie. I’m really glad you’ve got some treatment and action on this. And in a weird way, a diagnosis, even if it’s a little fuzzy? No more House games, one hopes?

I’m thinking of you both. And I hope Glenn knows that your friends are very grateful to him too, for all the ways he helps you, and helps you get around and see us (I remember some VERY STEEP STAIRS at my sister’s house?)

All the hugs!
