A Little Emotional (the good kind) but I'm back!

Authored by Justin Yuen on Sep 30th 2010, 12:55

Well guys, guess what! I'm back! That's right, I've managed to bounce back again (always will :)). This one was definitely not easy, though. It's been a long time and a hard road to recovery (and just from one setback, though it was to a pretty major function (you know, breathing?). Anyway, it's good to be out of the ICU, and it's really, really, REALLY good to be back in touch with all of you again. This is really my first really emotional post because its been a very emotional couple days for me. Yes, I admit I cried quite a few times. But the funny thing it it was always because I'm not used to so many people caring about me. Don't know why, but I never liked to think of myelf as an emotional person. The past few days, though, I know I have been. Checking my email for the first time in two weeks, I was overwhelmed in the greatest way by everybody's show of support and care for me. Thanks again everybody, now more than ever. I need all of you - You're really keeping me going and recovering here. Taking baby steps to relearn how to walk and eat again... Have a lot of weight and health to regain. Will try to get back into posting regularly again soon!

Justin, praise the Lord. The power of prayer from those who love you so dearly is so amazing plus you are always so positive and strong. We are so thankful to God that you are out of ICU and to see you back on your post again. The journey to recovery may be long and difficult, but with God's miraculous healing, you will be well and strong again very soon. Keep going and remember to eat more to regain your strength. We are human. Crying is a sign of your victory over trial. God is always with you. Pray for His mercy and grace. We love you, Justin. We also pray for all the doctors and nurses who are taking care of your health. May they be blessed with wisdom, love and care for looking after your health. Take care, Justin. May God walk with you and help you in your path of recovery.Lots of love,Gu Ma Betty and Uncle Moses

So glad to know that you are doing better. You are in our thoughts and prayers every day. I hope to see your next post soon.Bob

Three Cheers for victory!!!

Justin-I learned the GOOD news when your Dad called me on Thursday.We are so proud of your achievment and know that with prayers, love, and determination (both physical and spiritual) you will continue to win the remaining fights. But do not be too impatient - you need to take things slowly first. Love, A Ellie and U Selwyn

yay! you're back :D i think you've always been emotional, in a different wayP.S. this is the best blog ever

It is good to 'hear' you once again! It is interesting just how emotional we really are. The fact that we need each other--well, that's a lesson some people sadly never learn. But we need you, too. You're teaching the whole lot of us to enjoy every day, to persevere, to question our priorities, to not be stingy with love.Peter, Linda, and Berenger

Hey Justin, I missed ya buddy! :) Looking forward to more posts, but make your #1 priority getting better!

Ten commandments to follow in life at all times. 1] Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout2] Do you know why a Car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the Rearview Mirror is so small? Because our PAST is not as important as ur FUTURE. Look Ahead and Move on3] Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write4] All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong, don't worry, they can't last long either. 5] Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond, don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base of Gold! 6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.8] A blind person asked Swami Vivekanand: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?" He replied: "Yes, losing your vision!" 9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes,when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrows' TROUBLES, it takes away today’s' PEACE

Hi, Justin--I soooo want to cook you something to help with the weight gain. Can I send food?
