What was the worst thing that happened to you this week? I just found out that my best friend was pregnant and she wanted me to accompany her to a nearby island to undergo abortion..I almost died when she told me. And i hesitated to go with her..i was very very scared and tried talking her out of it. But she went right on doing it and she ended up at the hospital. I might lose her..this is probably the worst thing that has happened in my life.

Thanks for the update! I'm so glad to hear that she pulled through, she and you have been in my thoughts since I saw your original post here.
It sounds like you are being a really good friend to her, and she is lucky to have you.

Just today, the doctors advised her to go home and take a rest. She is suffering from a terrible depression and everytime I try to talk to her, she just stares at me and nods her head. Im giving her more time to adjust. Im just glad she is okay.

OMG I thought I had a bad time, mine is nothing to that, mine was just my car imobilisor wouldn't work, it was an inconvience but not heart wrenching like what you had to do, I would do this for a friend if they wanted someone with them but I know it wouldn't be easy, I am a very deep thinker and even though I am not an anti-abortion person when it comes close to you it would be something that would make one think....

Hi lilaclady. I keep blaming myself these past few days. If only i tried harder to convince her or if only i was with her as she went through the process..i have been thinking about so many what if's. Hopefully, she will recover..just came from the hospital, she's still unconscious..please send me your prayers also. thanks, lilaclady..

Oh I'm so sorry to hear about you and your friend's troubles! I really hope that she recovers and all goes well! I know it must be a really hard time for you right now, I have lost friends before and it is really scary and heartbreaking!
The worst thing that happened to me this week is that I had vertigo all week. I couldn't work, I fell down many times, and kept getting nausea as well from the vertigo. I have a disease called Meniere's that causes this, but this is the first time the vertigo has lasted so long at a time, and I'm very scared over the whole thing.

Hi, lecanis. Thank you for your sympathy. Vertigo problems? That is the first time I have heard of a problem like that. Have you consulted your doctor already? You have to consult an expert about this, lecanis..please update me with your consultations ok, i will also ask my relatives in the medical field about this..

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so vague. I am working with a specialist on my Meniere's disease, and I went to see him just yesterday. So it's not that I'm not getting it treated, but simply that there is no cure. I'm going to be trying some new treatments out since my situation seems to have worsened, and then after that mostly my options are surgical, but since there are no guarantees even with surgery, and many of the surgeries cause hearing loss (which I have to some extent anyway) it's a tricky decision on whether or when or which one to have done!
Sorry to have worried you... I didn't mean to imply that I wasn't getting treatment for the situation, it's just that it's a very scary thing for me because there is no real cure and it's a very debilitating disease.
I do hope that things get better for you and your friend, and thank you so much for your concern in my situation! I will keep both you and her in my thoughts!

So sorry to hear about your friend, eva_diva. Those abortions aren't always safe. Hope she pulls thru it ok. Will be praying for her.
Only thing that happened to me was my tamed feral kitten got out and when he mewed last nite, we found him outside our door in pain. Don't know what he got into but if he's not better by Monday, I'm going to call the vet and see if they will treat him. I owe the vet alot of money so not sure if they will or not. If not, he may die if he got into poison or something else.

Hello again, blackbriar. :) I always get sad when i hear stories like that about cats, i love my cats also and i treat like them humans also. I will pray for your cat also, sometimes our cats can be such children, eating away anything they can. PLease update me with whatever the vet says. :(

That must be tough im sorry to hear about it but you should try to tell her that there better ways then abortion like she can put the baby up for adoption which would be a lot better then abortion just try to convince her that there are better ways. Back to your question this week has been pretty good and nothing bad has happend to me and if I had to decide the worse thing I guess its loosing my remote in my room which is a pain and if thats the worse thing that has happend to me then i must of had a pretty good week.

Adoption is a good option. Unfortunately, it has never been an option for my friend. Her parents are very strict and there is that thing about losing inheritance and losing the family connection once she decides to do something foolish which she thinks is synonymous to having a baby whose father decides to abandon her.Im not really fond of her parents but i was also thinking that no matter how strict your parents can get, they will always understand. right? :(
