Title: Where is Kenny?
Post by: Ausimax on February 17, 2007, 10:02:53 PM
Has  anybody heard from Kenny lately?  I can't recall a post from him for several weeks now, and that is unusual. Hope everything is OK.

Max,

I was thinking the same thing about a week ago and sent him a personal message to check on him. I still haven't heard back from him, but will let you know when I do.

Still no word from Kenny, huh?  Hmmm....I hope he's ok.  I'm used to seeing his comments in the forums, and I know we all miss him.  I hope he'll be back soon.

Hi.

I heard from Kenny today, he is OK? He is having a rough time with depression and post traumatic stress disorder at the present time and has just not been able to bring himself to come on line and post.

I am sure you will all join me in wishing him a speedy recovery, as we all miss his help and encouragement, perhaps it is best to post your support on this forum as he is still receiving the posts, but is having difficulty trying to communicate just now.

Chin up Kenny we all love you, and miss you.

Max

Oh dear. :( Depression coupled with post traumatic stress is a hard combination to beat...I hope you have someone close to you that you are able to lean on during this time Kenny. Take care. (hugs)

Hi Volunteers,

I heard from Kenny as well and sent him my best wishes, but I also want to post them here. I know that he has a wonderful wife and a very special son, Bud, who are, I'm sure, helping him through this. (And he has cats, who, believe it or not, are healers.)

I'm sure everyone's loving thoughts will help  He's a wonderful talented and intelligent guy, and I'm going to pray that this doesn't plague him any longer!  I believe that positive thoughts bring positive results, so send as many to him as you can!

I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers.

I'm sorry this happened. I really feel like I let you guys down.

I have an appointment today with my psychiatrist and he's going to decide what to do. My wife and I talked about it and she supports me in whatever decision is made. As always, I fear going into the hospital again. Most likely, though, my doctor will adjust my medication and possibly add a new one to help me get through this.

I still believe in what we're doing here, and OPR is deeply ingrained in my heart. I got through a major hurdle just by coming here now and posting this. I'm fighting this, guys, I really am. I hope to get back to business soon.

Hi Kenny

You're in my thoughts every single day.  Having been there (and still being there) I know what a huge thing is was for you to post.  I'm taking that as a positive sign.  You're the person who knows best what will help you, and I hope you find it quickly.

You certainly don't need to feel sorry and you're not letting anyone down.  You're battling some hellacious demons.  My suggestion is that you accept that we all love you and are pulling for you and will be happy when you're able to get back.  Your job is to get better!  (So easy to say, so tough to pull off sometimes, no?)

Lotsa hugs!

Glenna

Hi Kenny,

Great to hear from you, don't think you are letting us down, we understand and know how hard you are working on your own problems, you get busy restoring Kenny, and we will try and struggle on with the rest.

Big Hugs!

Thanks everyone.

I had a good visit with my doctor today. He and I go back over a decade. We discussed options and we're going to continue the medication regimen I've been on for several years now. I've lapsed in taking my meds over the last couple of months and it's really taken it's toll on me mentally as well as physically. I have to get back on schedule with my meds.

I've been fighting this for over 30 years now and it gets tiresome. I've had my rest, now it's time to get back to fighting.

I appreciate all of you  :loveit:


Kenny  :)

Kenny,

If you're meds had anything to do with this: (http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/1827/suferjohner6.jpg)

I'm all for you getting back into your regimen, ASAP.  ;)  You definitely have a great sense of humor.  I was going to make mashup for you but your avatar was too small.

Hang in there, man.  Life is definitely no cake walk, but take each day as it comes, try to appreciate something every day and not get too wrapped up in details that are out of your control and you'll do just fine.  I'm glad that OPR has been there for you to give you some happiness.

Take it easy - John
