Gratitude and Update

Folks,

This is a more difficult entry to figure out how to start than I had expected it to be, so I guess beginning by saying that I am overwhelmed by your support isn't an overstatement after all. Thank you..

The response is a little intimidating because it's so huge, and ( Read more... )

Things may be different where I live, but once upon a time I was the victim of a violent crime- with out health insurance.

I required 2 days of hospitalization and a year or so of therapy... There is a program that was set up to help people in situations like that. IT could be worth looking into. My hospital bills were mostly taken care of.

Suggestions for nonprescription things: Vit. C and B vitamins are good for bruises and soft tissue in general; if you can find a source for comfrey, or comfrey salve, it may also speed healing and reduce pain (but don't drink it as tea as it may have some liver complications.)

::hugs::

Again, if there's something I can do, you have only to say so.

arnica cream. mothers i know call it "child abuse cream" because it heals bruises so quickly. (mothers i know are a very, very sarcastic lot.)

more *hugs* -- i'm glad you're feeling better. comfort yourself with the thought that someone has created a furry blue skin for sims2. i think now i may have to download it in your honor.

i HATE that this happened to you. i've been seething ever since i heard.

Yes, I was also going to suggest arnica as a topical, as well as Vitamin E, which helps with healing internally. If you've got open but superficial injured skin (scrapes, small cuts) Vitamin E is also great to apply right to the skin to promote healing.

I'll try to start in on replies to individual comments and email in a while, after a bit more rest.

Don't worry about replying to my email unless you decide to take me up on it. While I would not want to put words in anyone else's mouth, I imagine I'm not the only person who feels that way. If it would be of use to you, that's great. If not, I won't feel wounded at not hearing back from you about it.

Thanks for the general update! So glad you can take full breaths again.

Oops, LJ and email, two ships that passed in the night. ;-)
