To All My Poemhunter Friends Poem by David Harris
To All My Poemhunter Friends
As you know, I have not been well of late after being rushed into hospital last Thursday 4 October 2007 as the result of a Transient Ischaemaic Attack (TIA) , which stimulates the symptoms of a stroke. I had five in on Thursday. My left hand side went numb each time. They lasted only five minutes at a time. It was due to lack oxygen to the brain. However, I had to have an x-ray done on my brain. The results came back yesterday and they indicated that during the TIA attacks I actually did suffer a mild stroke. Although I have not suffered any real damage to the brain, I am at times left very tired. This is one reason why I have not been reading much of late. Having said that I am missing all my friends at PH very much.
I want to thank everyone for their marvellous support and prayers. It is only when times like this occur that you find what wonderful friends you have. You may never see their faces, but the thought of them being there for you is very comforting indeed. It is something in the forty odd years of writing I had never experienced before. I am going to come back from today and read maybe one or two poems a day and comment on them. When I get tired, I will obviously come away. I am going to try to get around to everyone I know up here and at least read one of their poems. It is impossible to do that all in one day, so you will have to bear with me.
The good news is that I am on the mend. I am still writing and have several poems to post. I will start to do that tomorrow one or two a day. For now, I just want to thank everyone. Your friendship has touched me so much. I am in debt to you all for your extreme kindness.
Dearest David, What a scare you must have had! I know my Mum suffered similar attacks for years and they really frightened the sh...t out of her. I'm so glad you've recovering so well and I'm sure your positive attitude (to yourself and life in general) will be an important ingredient in your complete return to 'normal'. Thanks so much for letting us all know. I'm sure we all appreciate the effort needed to post this. You are an important contributor to Poemhunter and we all really appreciate your wise words and your compassionate and unpretentious love of life. Kisses and hugs, Allie xxxx
Oh my God, David! ! I'm so sorry! I hope you feel better very soon, I pray for you. I'm sorry I haven't been here to check in on you, having no idea that this is what you've had to endure... very scary stuff, but with the right medication, medical care and your family and friends, you will be on the mend! Big hugs to you, I know you'll pull through this like a champ! Lee
Oh sorry dear David! i yet i feel too much for u, but that is sometimes age related, hence body requies discipline and regulated life with rest proper medical suppot and right kind of diet yet, rest is absolutely necessary, no provocation to mind at all keeping almost free of any kind of tensions at any cost, as life is a gift God.no worries ever at all as the life is gleams of love. wish u all the best of regards and care, thanks for sharing
David, No, I didn't know, and was shocked to read this. This sort of thing can happen to any one of us but when it happens to a member of the family or a dear friend (as you are) it's doubly worrying. Take it very easy, David, get lots of rest and don't worry about getting back to us. Just think of yourself for once. You will be in my thoughts....... Love to you, David, and to Vera who I know is your rock.. Fran xxx
I've just read this, Dave, and like your other friends I am wishing you a speedy and full recovery. Just take things easy, mate. P and I are thinking of you. George
Hello, I hope you also consider me a friend though we can never meet! Meggie is a close friend in PH just like many other poets. She loves and praise your poems just like many of us in PH. Your poems are classical depicting the many faces of life, its one brings encouragement, hope, love, etc. Many lessons are learned from your writes. At your age now, you still grows old gracefully giving us and the readers in PH much pleasures, . Your wit and passion in writing will be my guide in improving my style. Please take good care of yourself as we all care for you too. God bless David.
Wish you a quick recovery and hope you are regaining your strenght and abilities more each day. Hopefully, there will be things you can do in the future to prevent another attack.
