i need help!!!!

Hey Vickie, Even though your weight is low, you do not look bad at all. You're thin now, and I see bones but you do not look bad. Its not like your cheeks are sunk in or you have dark circles around your eyes. There are other boards I post on and I have seen many people who are so tiny they're like death warmed over. What matters is if you're happy with yourself and you're healthy. I pray you can find another doctor that will take you in without worrying about a program fee. I hope things look up for you, Vickie.

I agree Vickie, while you look very thin, you don't look *that* bad. Honey I'm sorry that you're not getting the help that you need. I was reading the other post above this one and understood that Doc Steiner was going to take you on and help you. Did something happen where he just wasn't able to? I'm truly sorry. I do agree that if you still feel that you're not getting the attention, thus help, you need at St. Joes then you definitely need to keep looking until someone comes up with the answers that will bring you back to good health. You look fine on the outside, but truly I'm more concerned with what's playing on the inside of your body. When will you be able to eat solid foods again? Have they given you any clue as to when you'll be able to handle solids? I'm sending prayers your way hon. I haven't called you because of your voice, but I sure hope we get to talk soon and make plans to see each other. Take care of you-- Dee

Ok, I think I understand it now. I read the threads out of context I think. I don't go much to the main boards, because they seem, ummm, not helpful. (lets just say that) I like the intimacy of our Ky board and it's enough to help me and Mike when we need it. You guys are great here and I hope to meet some of you eventually. Vickie, don't let total strangers judge you for anything going on in your life. They aren't you and they don't walk in your shoes. Screw 'em! If you need anything, please just call me. If it's in my power, consider it done! I'm here for you and so is Mike. How is Stephen doing and your girl?
