Sorry for your mother. It is good that you are ok and getting better day by day.

I echo your sentiments of being grateful to be back. I went through ordeals of a forest fire followed by a devastating flood, which brought on another stroke.
Then I almost lost my brother who was in ICU gasping for air, and to this day, his respiratory specialist can’t believe he survived when they look at his x-rays.
Try increasing your omega 3 intake with flaxseed oil (one tbs equals 6000 mg omega 3) because it really fights inflammation, especially in the lungs. It has really helped the inflammation throughout my body. The directions say not to cook with it and keep it in the fridge, but you can add it to salads and any cooked foods like soup, stew, veggies, etc. It’s a food so now I normally take at least 2 tbs a day, but 4 tbs a day when I’m fighting any congestion or aches.
I’m also grateful to have you back!
Love and hugs,
Belle

I’m so sorry to hear about all the troubles you and your brother had. Hopefully things are looking up now. And thanks for the advice regarding Omega-3.

Wow, you have also been through a lot and your brother too.
Glad to hear he survived.
Are you doing better now after your stroke?

What ordeal you and your family had been through! I don’t consider myself very religious but the saying “God only gives what we can handle.” came to my mind when I read about both you and irmar. You both are wonderfully strong women and I am so glad that you pulled through.

Dear Irene,
I’m so sorry for your loss! It must have been so hard for you to lose your mother without being able to stay by her side.
But I’m relieved, that you’re back and I hope the best for you and your family. Please recover fully soon!

Irene, what a pleasant surprise to read your post here after so… long!
I’m glad to read that you’re back home already, and earlier than you’ve anticipated (you mentioned early May in your other message). With heartfelt condolences to you, I’m sorry for your loss. I will not sound like a broken record playing over and over, except to tell you I concur with all well-wishes and wonderment.
You are on the road to recovery, and you are an inspiration to all! Please stay strong and achieve full recovery speedily. Let not any negativity affect you. Stay positive. Stay motivated. YOU CAN DO IT!

Αγαπητή irmar,
Θερμότατα συλλυπητήρια για την απώλεια της μητέρας σου. Όσοι έχουμε χάσει τους γονείς μας ξέρουμε πόσο δύσκολο είναι, όποτε και όπως κι αν συμβεί. Να είστε όλοι γεροί και να τη θυμάστε. Χαίρομαι πολύ που ξεπέρασες αυτήν την τόσο δύσκολη κατάσταση και σου εύχομαι από καρδιάς να ανακάμψεις πλήρως γρήγορα. Να προσέχεις την υγεία σου, πάνω απ΄ όλα.

Welcome back, Dear! 
I am beyond happy to hear from you.
It’s really sad to read all the things you been through. But I am really happy to know that you are doing okay now. You’re such a warrior, I mean it.
No one should be taken for granted, and though people can be easily replaceable at work, it can’t be that way in life. There’s only one like you in this community, Irmar.
Sending you some healing hugs!
God bless you!

Yes, I’m doing better, thank you. I am back to English editing, and I passed my Ninja Segmenting Academy final exam after being away five months. I can’t take on as much as before, and I promised my hubby that I would take weekends off as much as possible.
