missing people
i really miss some people i was inpatient with a few weeks ago.
i'm so lonely right now. the people i want to be around are THEM, the friends i made in the hospital. the ones that i went through a bunch of hard stuff with during groups and during meals and during classes at the hospital. i miss those people who supported me when i was having such a hard time. i miss my friend who taught me how to play shuffleboard. i miss the people who stood up for me when i couldn't stand up for myself yet. i miss my friend who made sure i took my medicine every night and cajoled me into eating even when i didn't want to. I miss my friends who commisserated with me, challenged me, and let me challenge them. I miss having 24 hour support. There are so many things I need to talk about. So many difficult issues came up at the hospital, and in the last couple weeks I've been so busy that there just hasn't been time to deal with any of it. Its really frustrating, not only for me but for those inside too. And I wish I could talk things out with my friends from the hospital. People who haven't been in that situation could never understand, I think. We became like family there, it seems. Forced through emotional times together and supporting one another, even just in the 16 days I was there, made us like a family. And now I miss my hospital-family so much. I want to talk to them, check in on them, help them with anything they might be going through. I want to joke around with them again, go play basketball during rec therapy again, tell stupid jokes again, color pictures, give them hugs.
Right now I am just sad and lonely.

Hey Sweet Gal,
Did you not exchange phone #'s or email or addresses with the key folks you'd like to stay in touch with?
It would be so supportive if you all could call each other, email each other and continue the support to some degree.
Is there anyway to send a person a message through the hospital?
Just thinking.......
Love ya, Judy
