I do know that I really like your blog. Thank you.
I have had similar emotional reactions to reading the early part of the posts and messages on my caring bridge site that was started by my family after I was diagnosed with Wegs. It can be hard reliving that experience and remembering those feelings from when you were near death. For years I had flash backs sort of like PTSD when ever I had to go into a hospital or have a procedure that stimulated those memories of being back in ICU units. We are lucky though that we are still here and able to remember those bad times and appreciate the life that we still have.
