A Little Fate?

During this journey I have come across some very interesting people, other ‘Cushies.” It’s amazing the things these people will do and say for someone they have never met and most likely never will.

As fate would have it, in early November I stumbled across the Cushing’s Support and Research Foundation (CSRF) website when I was trying to define “high cortisol.” What fortune. I found others just like me, well except for the fact that they have already had their surgeries and were no longer suffering from the effects. But I can’t tell you how many times in the first conversations we all say “holy sh*t” and “me too” and “YES!” All without having any sort of stimulation.

I still chat with these people weekly as I continue on my journey and hopefully we can have one big party when this is all over…as one of them put it I’m back to "skinny bi*ch" status. But back to the story…

It seems this week brought more stimulation. I spoke with someone from CSRF this week about getting us (Cushies) more awareness and some help after sending her to read my blog. As it turns out, I have a lot of ideas and they need the help. Fate has funny plans for us. Within hours I spoke with another member of the team and yet again I was saying YES! But while they were interested in my help they were also interested in getting me better! They referred me to a few doctors to get some help. A couple of the docs happen to be at some of the largest medical centers in the country. I made the calls and am sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the day the call comes that says “Dulcie, the doctor will see you now.”

Perhaps these are momentary friendships meant to get us through hard times. And maybe these are just strangers just lending a hand knowing we selfishly will get something out of it for ourselves. Or we just like the YES factor!

Or maybe it’s just a little fate? I’ll let you know.
