Add me!! hee hee. I always wanted to be a member of a Posse! oh shit, I just remembered I was part of a posse in high school. Oh how embarrassing, we called our selves the “Funky Posse”. Ain’t nothing funky about 5 Bank geeks who adored New Kids on the BLOCK. Ouch.

Heading out to play some golf with the family. Gotta take advantage of this weather!
BTW, just to keep my link from being empty - I added my lame little knitting blog with 3 readers to my info :)

“We all love you, BJ…” yes, we do! And AT, MastaG, Pigpen, damama, and whatever classified name you’ll come up with for BJ’s mom and dad.

The Posse is impressive… whatever she does or does not remember since the beginning of this ordeal, the length of that list and the geographic spread will certainly help her know just how important she is to us.

Hi there…you don’t know me, but somehow I’ve stumbled across your blog out there in the blogosphere, and have been following along on your heartbreaking roller-coaster. I’m not a praying person, but I’m thinking healing thoughts and sending my best wishes as hard as I can. I’m an ICU nurse myself, and I find it absolutely fascinating to be hearing “the other side” of the patient’s story. As I read your recap of her vital stats and condition, I automatically translate it into ‘nurse-ese’ and feel like I’m there, hearing the nurses give report to each on your beloved. I cringe sometimes at how we break a human being down into mere numbers and diagnoses, but then remember that sometimes that’s the only way to do our jobs without falling to pieces at the humanity of it all. Don’t assume you know what the nurse is thinking or feeling, don’t play head games with them. Just as I can’t even begin to understand the depths or levels or phases of your grief and your love and all you’re going through, it goes both ways. Anyway, sorry for writing so much, I just wanted you to know your stories have touched me and I’m thinking of you guys out here on the west coast. Keep on keepin’ on, I got a good feeling about GAC :)

No website and probably too old for a posse and a secret name. Do you have to cut yourself and put your blood in the ground or something, to get a secret name? I couldn’t think of one cool enough to suit me anyway. Irregardless, you know I am on whatever list you want to put together, but I don’t mind just reading your posts. I don’t mind if you don’t read mine, they are there for whenever you want to, and for whatever boost or tweak they may give when you do. Give BJ a kiss for me, or at least a pat on the good hand.

Rose, thanks very much!
I do my best to think like a nurse, being that my Mom’s one, and I’ve been listening to the stories and experiences of a nurse that can’t shut up for 30 years. Its done me a lot of good, its helped me through tough times, and helped make me what I am.
I know what you mean about head games with nurses. I was very keen on that when this was all new and the shock was strong, but not so much now.
I see it like having your kid at the nursery. You can’t stay with them, but you hate to leave them. Its nice to see what they did. BJ will completely hate that comparison, but its true. They’re watching her constantly, which is what my instinct is. It seemed only fair that I demand info.
Don’t feel as much so now. Its good to hear things, but I do the visits just for the sensory pleasure of seeing my beauty. To remind myself, that as alone as I feel, she’s still there, just asleep.

Sue, I’m not supposed to tell you this, and I could lose my membership in the guild of internet denizens, but I can say that the aquisition of a super secret internet name requires a spirit quest, three gems of various sizes, a ceremony with masked men and a well, and a lock of hair.
I trust we can be discreet about this.

I would love to be part of the posse. I’ve found myself thinking of you, your wife, and your children a lot since I read your story. If good thoughts help, you have plenty headed your way.

I’ve been checking in on you several times a day hoping each time for good news! It’s helped me savor the things in life I’ve taken advantage of not considering it can be taken away in an instant. Hang in there! You and your family are certainly in my thoughts and prayers!!!

Hi AT.

I’m still reading, and still begging. I did some begging for my mom recently, and while we’ve certainly not had the time you and poor BJ have had, I think it helped.

My mom and I are both begging for GAC and yourself.

Please add me to your posse if you get a chance. Speckblog would love to be connected here.

If you can clear a spot on the list, I’d love to be on it. I found myself rooting for y’all at a Journey/Def Leppard (yeah-HUH) concert last night, in a wonder-what-concert-they’ll-go-to-next sort of way, not in an awwwwwww sort of way. I just can’t do awwwwww in public.

I come and check in on your daily…usually more than once. My heart goes out to you. I know the agony of the wait. Of the good news then bad then hopeful then sad. I wish above all else that you have peace and she comes back to you healthy and whole. You all deserve that! Best always. Know you are not alone. MANY MANY people are thinking of you and praying for you a GAC.
