I am soooo glad my info was helpful for you. When I was diagnosed with IBS, I kept telling myself, "hey, at least I'm not diabetic". Now...I'm diabetic!! Oh, the curves life throws us.
*rolls eyes in empathy* Oh man I HEAR you! bleh!

I have this philosophy that whatever life throws at you was meant to be - for whatever reason - I am supposed to be experiencing these things in life. It is part of my life's grand master plan. So, I take these things (diabetes, IBS, losing a job, whatever...)as challenges to overcome. I digress...
Ah but it's a very GOOD digression. It just so happens I am of a similar philosophy, and despite the (scuse the pun) 'bellyaching' you see me doing here, I'm usually a very cheerful person who tries very hard to be nice to everyone and generally make the world a good place despite the challenges of daily existance. Health problems just happen to be one of the hurdles I get to try and dance over- I mean it wouldn't do to just plain jump[- oh no- I have to always be just a little different *rolls eyes and laughs*

Anyway, I just noticed that you are from Canada - I heart Canadians. I had a roommate who was from Canada. I have found that Canadians are the nicest, most thoughtful and caring people I have ever met. Is there something in the water, or do your parents just raise exceptional people??
Woot! Well it just so happens I heart most Americans too, so at least you know the feeling is mutual! I'm not sure WHY we canucks are this way... or to be more realistic why MOST of us canucks are this way... maybe it's cause the weather tends to be so cruddy that the people have to be nice to each other to make up for it? (that's one of my pet theories anyways) LOL

Hey, and I was very proud to see that you are Irish as well. ME TOO!! My mother's maiden name is Mckee. I named my daughter Quinnlan to try and keep a little Irish in the family name as my husband's last name (and mine now)is Stimson - not very Irish.
S'ok, I've met many Irishy folks who aren't Irish in heredity- name or no name, I think it's an attitude more than anything. ^_^ In actuality I'm a hybrid of english. irish, welsh, french, polish= Canadian... but with my stubborn streak I tend to see that more from the side that happens to be from Ireland *snicker* I'm also too laid back to be 'typical' anyways- but it's fun to wear knotwork jewellry and salute the side of family I KNOW the diabetes came from... :P

I really really hope that you get to feeling better. I will keep you in my prayers.
Thank you!!!! Hey, any positive thinking and prayers etc are all appreciated and reciprocated! If today is any indication of how this recovery process is coming, I have real hope... things are settling down nicely and I'm looking forward to not dreading wandering off to the bathroom for the first time in years!
HUGZ! ^_^
