Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
We will all be glad when you get out!
You worked hard to get your graduation date on 9/12, looking forward to you feeling better and doing better.
How I treasured those who made me laugh, even when the humor was PERVERSE. I watched Moonstruck so many time I think I know the script to this day.
There are lessons in all this. There are ways you will learn you deserve GOOD and you will GRAB it.
You will get through. Let your mind go wherever it wants. Trust me, if you died of negativity I would have been gone 82 years ago. Don't let anyone further victimize her by demanding she have a "good attitude". Bad attitudes don't kill.
Thinking of you on this journey. Glad she has you. Hope she will include the little ones in a healthy way. Remember, they won't fear so much her dying as they will want to know WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF US IF ANYTHING HAPPENS. Reassure them that there will always be a TON of people taking care of them with a ton of love.
Her in law family is huge and they mostly reside there. Her mother in law has been in treatment for cancer for 9 months now. I know they will provide help . I just have to not go to the place in my head where if it got worse how would I see those 3 grandchildren. I am just still trying to absorb the shock of the news. She has met with 2 different surgical practices as well as an oncologist so I believe this will be best as they are all in agreement as to how to proceed.
Again thank you for your very kind wishes.
My first very aggressive cancer hit me at age 47. I had mastectomy and adjuvant chemo for 6 months. The cancer at the time had already spread to my lymph nodes (in fact how it was FOUND) and was in two nodes. I did not have any problems after that for THIRTY SIX YEARS. I have had now another cancer in the other breast at age 81, last Feb. I have chosen now at this old age to treat conservatively with removal of the lump and watching the breast, no chemo and no radiation. Just had my 6 month followup. All looks great so far.
You lovely daughter can do this. It is much more terrifying when you have youngsters, for all involved. It's gonna be one crazy year but it will pass. I send you and her the very best of wishes and goodluck.
Prayers for you all. It's a very difficult time for a family. My heart goes out to you. Try to keep up a normal routine. It is best for you keep somewhat active and live as normal as you can. From what I have read the prognosis for stage 0 is excellent. ((((hugs)))) and prayers
I will keep her and your entire family in my prayers.
She has 3 children (11,9 and 2 year old). It is often said that one would prefer to have an affliction on themselves rather than our children.
Just have to find courage to get myself together every day and not spend the day in bed.
Great news!
As my realtor said few months ago once it is signed it is pretty much done deal!
Don’t worry about house inspection.
If it goes well the possession date is Oct 7th. I so appreciate prayers for all to work out smoothly.
I know God has a plan - I hope this is it! lol 😊
It is such a blessing that they will take the furniture. I have offered to my cleaner, who has done other jobs for me for nothing, to take anything she wants. She already has a white wicker chair and stool, and wants the carved wooden chest my mother brought up from Haiti. She is more than welcome to it. She has been so good to me. I have to do something to thank the lady next door for looking after my plants so well. The white violet, white anthurium and pink anthurium and blooming nicely and the ivy and others are thriving. She has been very good to me too. So grateful for kind, helpful people.
It will go well.
Selling, giving away furniture was the worse!
So great they take your furniture.
Hope all goes well.
Once people give good deposit, there is very little chance of sale not happening.
Keep us updated.
We were planning to go up about Sept 15 to get rid of the furniture and take the plants and pics. They want possession Oct 15. It would be great to not have to deal with the furniture and have the house sold before the winter.
Prayers would be greatly appreciated. 😊
And I'm able to spend sometime with mom, do somethings for her but have a life, at the same time!
What ever happens is going to happen!
I know of 2 falls , she had that he covered up for her. Due to back sudden pain, and bruises.
But , " let go let God" I'm over all that.
The prospect of a rabies outbreak should terrify everyone. There is no cure. None.
People where begging for the vaccine.
I feel like if life was like it was back then , more people would get vaccinated especially for childhood illnesses.
The show went though, TB, polio, deptheria, all the same era.
I put great pressure on someone to get their infant vaccinated with measle vaccine and more. The baby's mother didn't believe in vaccines.
Re measles, the statistics are pretty telling when you compare the death or health problems of unvaccinated babies with those who are vaccinated.
I came so close to getting my brother arrested, because my nephew was anorexic, skin and bones. and my brother thinks religious people don't get mental disorders, and we will just pray it away.
While I was sitting on the couch with numbers in my hand, my former sister-in-law, that I was working with, called and said stop, because my brother finally agreed to letting my nephew go live with her.
It was horrible. My parents almost had to take my sister to court , she was Jehovah witness , my nephew ripped his spleen apart and my sister and her husband where refusing blood transfusion.
Going back to my last post, I think it should now be called the Club sandwich generation
