This thread is a place where you can put your well-wishes for NCOT to read while she's an inpatient.

Miranda, you've got us behind you. We're all here to support you. You're in our thoughts and prayers. Even though we can't come physically be with you, we are all here for you.

Good morning Miranda! Thinking about you & hoping you get to see someone who is helpful today & gets you feeling better. I also hope your family is treating you well. I miss seeing you around here. it's not the same without you smile I've got a horrible day ahead. Tons of work and running around, just exhausting.

Hey Miranda, keep up the good fight. Sometimes you have to allow yourself to be weak in order to grow stronger.

I liked what Randy said, you may find they need to paint the ceiling, lol. Anyway, sending many good thoughts & vibes your way.

Thank you folks x

Not a lot new to report. Still here. Still not seen a doctor. If it wasn't for the activity room I'd have probably gone mad from boredom by now. That said, I'm ambivalent about leaving, because then I'm just going back to the same isolation I was in before. Just not sure I can face total isolation right now, even if I do miss the freedom of being able to pop out for a walk and a drink in a cafe.

Hey NCOT, I'm not on here as frequently anymore but sad to come on here today and see all that you have been dealing with.

I hope you have some better days ahead and you have settled in.

Thanks Clo and cupcakespinkgal! Yes, I've settled in quite a bit, to the point I'm even okay about being here for Christmas Day now. Sort of. But probably better to be here than alone in my flat. The food surprisingly is not that bad either, so I should at least get a semi-decent Christmas Dinner.

Just wanted to tell you I'm proud of you for sharing what you are going through. Not a lot of people would do that, I'm glad you feel safe enough here to let us know what's going on. Hang in there...

And, for no reason whatsoever, a joke about accountants:


There are three people applying for the same job. One is a mathematician, one a statistician, and one an accountant. The interviewing committee first calls in the mathematician. They say "we have only one question. What is 500 plus 500?" The mathematician, without hesitation, says "1000." The committee sends him out and calls in the statistician. When the statistician comes in, they ask the same question. The statistician ponders the question for a moment, and then answers "1000... I'm 95% confident." He is then also thanked for his time and sent on his way. When the accountant enters the room, he is asked the same question: "what is 500 plus 500?" The accountant replies, "what would you like it to be?" They hire the accountant.

I hope you are feeling better NCOT! I miss seeing you on the forum and sharing your wit and vast knowledge of Crohn's (and life in general). Remember to take care of yourself. YOU DO DESERVE it and I know that things do get better - even if it seems far away! Hugs your way!

Miss seeing you around Miranda. How are you doing today? Did you see a doctor? Are you keeping busy?

Miranda, what a beautiful name! NCOT !

I am truly sadden to hear you are inpatient.

My last inpatient stay was over Christmas and New Years. It was crappy, but in a way I was glad to be away and try to make it my last time.

You my friend, are an extordinarely strong woman. I admire you for continual fighting against the negative and winning!

May you remember self-kindness will you are there, perhaps ask the therapist or doc for some info.. I know it is hard they do. not give you much time.

I would like to share with you a poem I read the last time I was in. It changed my thought process somehow, made me stronger inside. My hope is it does the same for you.

From the book, MILK and HONEY. by rupi Kaur

if you were born with
the weakness to fall
you were born with
the strength to rise

I wish you Peace, strength, and inspiration

Thank you everyone! Karen and Trina - welcome to the Crohn's board :p

For an update may I direct folks to the tragic news thread. I really can't write all that again, even in summary >_>

Thank you for the poem, Trina.
