I know I can not post a lot but I do read the posts every day and keep you all in my prayers.  Now I need to ask for your prayers for me.   Last night at my second job I was assulted and robbed in the parking lot while trying to leave.  I am an emotional wreck.  Nothing I try to eat or drink will stay down.  I have already lost 15 pounds in the last two weeks because one of my dogs passed away suddenly.  I am a nervous wreck.  When I close my eyes all I see is two men in ski masks coming after me.  I will update more when I can but I would really appreciate prayers from you all.  I am scared and every sound makes me jump. Any thoughts on what to do not to get dehydrated?  I am takimg Zofran already for the queasiness and Ativan to try and calm my nerves but so far nothing is helping. Love and miss you all! Tammy C

Tam, sorry that you had to go through this. If I can do anything please let me know. You can email me on here and I will get in touch with you if you just want to talk. Just try to keep taken sips of drink and small bites of food. When taken small sips you hopefully will not bring it back up. Call your doctor and see if they can give you something different for the queasiness and maybe that will help. Just keep trying and reach out to all of us we are there for you.  God please be with Tam in her time of need and help her through this and show her the way that you want her to go Lord in this we pray. Amen

Hey Tammy, I am VERY sorry to hear of what happened to you. Based on personal experience and giving my opinion as well I can tell you when you go through a traumatic experience a lot of times our physical, mentally and emotional levels are challenged. Stress and fear are very hard to deal with and in turn our physical bodies react. I highly suggest you speak with someone regarding your experience and someone who specifically deals with traumatic events and their results. There are short term timeframe meds that can certainly help with anxiety and in connection with say a counselor again versed in anxiety, trauma etc its truly a benefit. As for not getting dehydrated focus on protein in liquid forms much like the beginning of being post-op and also the light foods and fluids type diet for a bit. Crystal Light, Jell-O, soups, yogurt things of that nature. Its important to take care of yourself and ask for help. We are here for you when you need us. Of course many prayers are coming your way. Always....

Oh Tammy Im so sorry to be reading this, I wondered where you had been, prayers going up for you. Not many people know I to was assaulted back in 1996 phyiscal and sexual and I had a terriable time, here where I live the police dept. had a program where they came in and put in the ADT alrm system in my apartment and I had one of those necklaces to push if needed help when out around my place, they also provided me w/ a cell phone in case i needed it it was only to call 911 and call out no calls in, they also hooked me up w/ a counselor because it is such a tramatic invasion. I hope you are ok and be strong. Keep your fluids in and eat and maybe check w/ the Dr for any other help for the nerves, but I know not much worked for me I was in fear at all times for a very long time. Email me if you wanna chat, I can call you if you like. HUGSSSS........

Aw Jeez, Tam - I am so sorry to hear your news. You did what you needed to do as a crime victim - you survived. I recommend Dr. Andrew Weil's CD on wellness/healing - it's a meditation experience that will help your healing. I work in the criminal justice system in Richmond, so please email me if you have questions/concerns in dealing with the cops/courts. BJ

Tammy, It saddens me deeply to hear this.  Of course prayers coming your way.  My suggestions were right there with Kat's, definitely try sipping, popsicles, ice, to keep hydrated and if you can go back to protein shakes & liquid/soft food diet.  I can somewhat understand, I am one of those people when really stressed, I get nauseous etc and can't eat or drink.  My heart goes out to you.  You are a survivor and you will get through this.  Stay strong & fight for yourself.  Lots of love to you. p.s.  been missing your beautiful face  and comments on the boards.

OH Sweet heart .. I am so sorry . YOU MUST NOT LET YOURSELF GET DEHYDRATED.. YOU CAN DIE !! .. I know this was traumatic .. and it is hard to not focus on what happend to you . But somewhere in your mind , I need you to reach into your soul and gather up as much strenth as possible . Start the fluids flowing today . Your insides when you become dehyrdrated turn to prunes and look like raisins and begin to die off... it is most important for us to stay hydrated ...  Sweety ... look deep and please take care of you . You are all you have ... I really do know how it feels .. but you MUST take care of you .

I will pray for you today .. and ask that God intervene NOW ... but Tam.. you must help ..  We love you and miss you a lot .  Please ... take care ... and if you need me I am here .  Natalie

Tammy, IT really saddens me to see you having such a bad time.  You are such a good hearted person and certainly do not deserve such in your life.  I am sending prayers your way and will keep you in my thoughts.  If you get a chance send me an email and we can chat and catch up, it has been a long time. Fondly,  Lorraine
