Thursday evening....January 10th, 2008

....a different day.....

Today Linda woke with a low blood pressure and a high pulse.....so we called her doctor (who wasn't in yet) and the Oncology folks.....they had us come in to do a blood test and perhaps an infusion of liquids....we then found out Linda's doctor was going to be at the main clinic in the afternoon.

So off we went.

Linda's blood makeup wasn't too bad but her pressure was low...she got faint as they were doing the needle insertion which caused a momentary stir. Anyway they then put her in the infusion room and administered intravenous liquids. and her doctor checked on her through her nurse.

We were scheduled for Reiki sessions at the hospital so I went over to participate...Linda stayed at the clinic because of the infusion.

My experience in Reiki was much different than the first one..it took quite a while for my jaw to relax and my fingers to straighten out..my breathing never did get smooth, etc. etc. The practitioner spoke to her visions during the session, one of which was whether I had a separate hobby as she saw me working with wood...to which my response was that Linda and I did pretty much everything together...from there it was clear to me that Linda and I are "fused"..that is, what affects her affects me which affects her which affects me. Her experience in the morning I found scary and it affected my health. Anyway there is much more but that's the basic idea.

We went home and will go back tomorrow am for another checkup for Linda and more fluids if needed.

Tonight my blood pressure exploded upward...why I don't know...it has now settled down but scary....and a headache all day hasn't helped...and I don't get headaches...these headaches have come and gone for a few weeks now..but today's was pretty significant...and started before we got up this morning.

So not such a good day...

Hi Dave,
After reading your message tonight I wanted to respond to you:) I have alwyas know this connection between you and Linda and how you are fused together. I cannot imagine how hard this must be for you and I know you are feeling the pain right along with her, it may not be the same as hers but I know it is there.
I hope that you continue with Reiki, I truly believe in it. I remember one time while doing a Wings back up I had an enormous headache. One of my team members had learned Reiki as he had a wife with Cancer. He helped me relieve my headache along with a large amount of tears, they just came streaming down and I had know idea they were there. It is one of my most amazing experiences that I will always remember.
What a gift someone can give.

I love you Dave and please continue to get support and help. You are a very special gift to all of us.

Julie

Hope today (Friday) has been a better one! Dave - from someone who gets headaches all the time, I am assuming yours is mostly from stress. Hope that the two of you have been able to relax a little today as I know how you worry about the weekend.

Breathe deep, relax, listen to some nice soothing music, think of all the things that make you happy, and hang in there! Our thoughts and prayers are with you for a quiet and peaceful weekend.
