Worried About My BFF.....

I hadn't heard from my BFF in quite some time so I sat down and wrote her a rather lengthy email.  I sent it off and started the wait to hear back from her.  That usually isn't for more than a day or two but....today made day four and nothing!  That has me scared.  Her health is not good due to uncontrolled diabetes and she has a heart condition besides.  She only JUST healed from open sores on her legs that made her life miserable.  She's mostly confined to a wheelchair since she is heavier than her bad knees can take for any length of time.  She tried to get them replaced, offering to sign anything required to absolve them of any liability if things went wrong since they didn't want to do it because of her weight.

She knew that, unless she got knee replacements that allowed her to walk and be upright for more than a few minutes, she wouldn't be able to lose that weight.  It's a real round robin.  But, she is also almost 80 years old.  Her hubby is 83 and they both have major health problems.  And, let's face it, it's a bitch to get OLD!

Not hearing from her has me worried sick.  Is she really ill?   Is she in the hospital?  Has her computer finally crashed on her?  I would be greatly relieved if it was the last thing and not something irreversible.  I don't even want to say the word.  I just know that my life, and the world in general, would be a sorry place without her.  She's interesting, she's funny, she just a good hearted person.  I love her dearly and I hate to worry about her.  I'll be like Sheldon and start pulling out my hair....LOL

I haven't done anything all day but play my game and constantly check my email.  I finally sent another short one to her saying just one sentence....hell, one word!  Tell me *ill*  *hospital* and that would be enough to get me through a few more days or even a couple weeks.  I would still worry but at least I would know that she was alive.  Can you blame me for worrying?

That's all that's on my mind right now so I am going to close and check my email again.  I love you all.  Say a little prayer or two for her if you don't mind.  She may not be a believer but I am.  I also believe in the power of prayer.  One for Carol will be appreciated.   ***Hugs***
