Introducing myself

I'm a little late, but better late than never!  Welcome to our little club, Carlita!  I'm sorry for what you've been through so far, but as you have shown and others have said, a positive attitude goes a long way!  I hope it gets better for you soon!  I also hope you find the answers to your questions and the support from people who have been there in this forum.  It's been a life saver for many people, including me!  Welcome!

Hello Carlita,
Thank you so much for inviting me to the forum. I have been reading the replies you have been receiving from the group.  Everyone seems to be very helpful.  I'm sure we will both learn a lot.  My hope is that we will make new friends by attending a support group and also by connecting with others through this forum.
Take care my dear friend,
Sasha

Carlita and Sasha,

I think I posted once already to Carlita, but now I can welcome two at once. So welcome to the forum, both of you. Carlita, I have picked up your story through this post and a few others; now I am wondering about Sasha. Just a friend? Also an AN? If an AN, how are you doing? Just curious...

I was wondering about Sasha, too.

I'm guessing Sasha is a friend of Carlita's.  Friends are definitely welcome here - and it's a very nice gesture of friendship, I might add 

Welcome to both of you!

Thank you all for all the support. Yeah, sasha is my unconditional friend, the one who was with me when i was about to die. She used tot come to my roomevery morning to ask me what i want for breakfast, cuz hospital food sucks! You guys would be amazed of what she did for me, this was the angel GOD have sent me. When nurses were mean, she was there cuz i was scared and crying. You guys have no idea how mean nurses can be, they were a couple ones that treated me worse than an animal. Throw me on the bed, and didnt even give me my medication when i was in the ICU. But sasha was there with me, many time she also cried with me. Because pain was awful and she could see that i was in extremely pain with all those ivs on my arms, neck and even feet. But that is in the past and what i did kept was sasha, my angel sent from GOD

Hello Steve and Jan,
Thanks for your warm welcome to the forum. I had not logged in for a few weeks, that's why I had not responded.
It's been a blessing from God to meet Carlita and have her as my friend.
She has been through a lot but we continue to pray for her recovery.  I'm also glad that she has the support of this wonderful group.
Take care,
Sasha

Welcome to both of you, Sasha and Carlita! This forum has been a lifeboat for alot of us even years after our AN treatments, especially those of us with lasting after-effects like facial paralysis, headaches and balance problems.
Please remember that no question or topic is too minute or silly to ask about and that folks here have been in your shoes many times over.

Surrounding yourself with people in the same boat helps keep you afloat!

Hugs,

Capt Deb
