Just want to let everyone know that even if I don't post here very often I do try to remember to check in on occasion. (every couple weeks. ...I'm emotionally sensitive and can't read this stuff all of the time... but i care too much to stay away.)

*prayers, thoughts, healing vibes, etc. are applied as needed*

Quite the hairy stuff going on here lately :(

I had my big cancer check up a couple of weeks ago and I go to see my cancer doc today for the results. I know that everything is fine but I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask for some good thoughts and prayers that all is well. My appt. is at 2:30 so I will let you all know the good results sometime this evening.

Thanks.

I wanted to let you all know that I stay up to date on this thread and always say prayers for those who need them. I wish everyone the best.

guys (or should I say gals?), please keep us in thoughts. we have two weeks to find us a home, and if we don't by then, we're going to live in the car. all of us. can you please spare a vibe so that we don't have to do this again.

and this monday, will be another big, cruical day for me - on that day, the fate will decide if it'll be a fresh start or I lose everything. keep me in your thoughts on this one too, I'll need as much support as I can get.

Yoooohoooo Robin? How did everything go?

-----------------------------------------------

Some more bad news from me (I'm sure you all are sick of it, I know I am.) My grandma is now in the hospital. She came up with the flu last week and was on meds for that. She's not getting any better, just worse, so her doctor advised her to go to the emergency room.

Not sure what the news is on that and I'll let everyone know as soon as I know. Meanwhile, grandpa is still in the hospital.

They are going to do shock therapy with him which my mom spoke to a friend of hers. Her mother was in the same situation as my grandpa and shock therapy did miracles for her. So, I'm hoping it will help my grandpa. It sounds scary to me, though.

09-15-2007, 02:04 PM

No Cancer! All is well in that department. He kept stressing that, because then he had to tell me that there is signs of diabetes, a hernia from one of my surgeries and osteopenia. He sent the tests over to my family doc and I see him on Monday. Geesh, its always something. It all makes me feel so old...lol...oh, wait, I am old....LOL.

The hernia seems to be small and is no bother right now so I won't be doing anything about that. I am in no mood to have any surgery for that at this time. The osteopenia numbers weren't high or that close to osteopirosis (?) so no meds needed at this time. Just need to start taking better care of myself (diet, exercise and make sure I take my calcium). The diabetes I'm a little worried about and don't want to have to deal with but hopefully it will be nothing.

Again though my cancer doc stressed that there is NO CANCER!

The cancer has played such a huge part in my life through the past 3 years. This was my 4th years check up but I don't count that 1st year because that year was spent going through the cancer with the surgeries and treatments. At that time I just did what I needed to do. It wasn't until this past year that I realized how badly it effected me both physically and mentally and I absolutely have such negative feelings about it. At this point I am not one of those people that is grateful to have survived it. I'm sorry to say that but that is just how I feel right now. I feel like the cancer has destroyed my life. All of these feelings have recently surfaced and I realize what a struggle the past few years have been. I am so angry about it. Hopefully in time I will be grateful for this experience and grateful for making it through it. I hope that time comes soon. My heart goes out to anyone who has to deal with this hideous disease. There is a lady at my work place who has been dealing with it for the past year and her case is far worse than mine ever was. I had told her if she ever wanted to talk about it to just come and talk to me. She finally came to my office area and talked to me yesterday and though I didn't have any answers I just wanted her to know that I was there for her. I hugged her for so long and just didn't want to let her go. I wish so badly that I could have made her all better. She was able to take her victory lap with us at the Relay for Life but it completely drained her and she had to go home right after that. She was not even able to stay for the luminarie walk. I can not stress how much I hate this disease.

Sorry to go off like that. Thank you for your support and prayers.

I am sending out positive thoughts and prayers for those that need them and even for those that haven't asked.

Thank you Pet Talk!

Did you have surgery already, or are you hoping that it starts to heal up on its own?

Memaw (grandma) Update:

She should be released tomorrow. Docs decided that her sickness was mostly stress related (DOH! I coulda told you that one!!) and that she wasn't eating properly. Since my grandpa hasn't been home she hasn't been cooking/eating meals, since he's not there for her to cook for.

IF she is released tomorrow I will be staying with her until she gets better. Cooking/making sure she eats, taking care of her dogs, etc.

Good thoughts coming your way for your foot surgery, Staci!

Hope your Grandma can come home to your care, Kay. I am sure she and her dogs will do great with your TLC.

I'd like to request a couple prayers.

One friend's friend from another message board was hospitalized and may not make it through the night. VERY low levels of oxygen in the blood. She was in the last stages before being able to announce being a cancer survivor. (Not sure how much of the details they'd want being posted.)

Another friend's dog who was a senior rescue is going through a rough patch. Has been quite healthy until now. Treatment may or may not help. The dog
will be stable one moment, the next levels of things are all over the charts. One moment we're celebrating good news, the next the dog is right back at the clinic fighting for its life. This dog and woman love each other dearly and have had such a short time together. Please pray that the dog gets at least a few more comfortable months here on earth being loved. (again... not going into personal details.)

I just found out that one of my favorite neighbors from my old neighborhood passed away. He was more like family to me. Please pray for his wife. (I've retyped the text here several times, but nothing came out right or not too personal... Just know that it may be harder for her than it should have to be. Not that loosing a loved spouse is ever easy.)

And keeping with what i posted before... Please take time to think upon five things you are grateful for. You don't have to post them.

I am grateful for a significant other who realizes when he is insensitive and isn't too stubborn to apologize. I am grateful for threads like these where people can reach out to each other. I am grateful for all the food that died so that i may nourish my body. I am grateful that the gift of art exists and the ability to appreciate it. I am grateful for empathy. It may be painful and cumbersome, but it is a wonderful tool.

My brother was in a motorcycle accident on Sunday. He was hit by a car. Thank goodness both were not traveling very fast & luckily it wasn't as bad as it could have been but he is very much hurt (gashed head, scrapped face, broken ankle among other bumps and bruises).

You all know that Staci is having surgery this morning so say an extra few prayers for her surgery to go well.

Also Robin (hope you don't mind girl;)) had a rough time this morning so if you could keep her in your prayers too.

I'll be saying prayers for everyone who's asked.

My boyfriend has had a migraine for six weeks now with no relief. He's been to a regular doctor, a neurologist, and an eye doctor. No clues yet. He goes in for an MRI soon. He's been tired and cranky the entire time, and has had to take several days off of work.

I need good vibes for him to feel better and for me not to murder him in his sleep before he does! ;)

thank you for thinking of me, and those posted too - correspondence is a big part for me. I last posted a while ago that we may live in the car - the apartment hunting didn't went good this evening. sigh. we have five-six days until we move everything into the car. it's best for us anyway, safer for now I think. until so. I'll be going to school and working still without leaving my kids in car alone.

will you hope with me, and for my ark that we'll have a miracle coming up before we need to do this? thanks.

Have you put the word out with your co-workers that you are looking for a place?

SPCA - Humane Society - they have lists of pet-friendly homes, and they might have something that is too big for most people, but might suit you and the Ark just fine. :)

Update:
Posted by E: L.P. a friend from my online parenting forum, passed away on September 25, 2007. She was 37 years old and leaves behind a husband, Greg. She had recently been declared cured of leukemia, but the final round of chemo, intended to assure her continued health, came with an unexpected toll on her lungs that eventually made them unable to absorb oxygen. After a short hospitalization and a few days in a medically induced coma, she slipped away quietly, surrounded by her family. She was preceded in death by two children, both lost in early pregnancy in the year before her cancer diagnosis. (Initials used to respect privacy; crossposted with permission.)

One friend's friend from another message board was hospitalized and may not make it through the night. VERY low levels of oxygen in the blood. She was in the last stages before being able to announce being a cancer survivor. (Not sure how much of the details they'd want being posted.)

catty, it's "her", I hope you didn't get confused with the house we lost in last december - however yeah this has a lot to do with her boyfriend too. all of my co-workers live on-campus so they really don't know the city.

I've talked with only and three humane societies around here, two locals are kill-shelters (they said once I give them, not give up them to them, they'll own them after and end of discussion) :mad: and third (no-kill) one, about three hours away is "a bit over full." not very much they can do except repeating the same shelters and their pet-friendly websites are never up to dated. I always get "uh sorry ma'am, this rent was taken a long time ago."

everyone as I'm speaking now with fractured rrib and back injury, please keep me in your prayers - I've had left the school and my job yesterday - I don't know what I'm going to do.

http://www.harvesthills.org/cats.php

I know they would take them.(I have not talked with them..but I really think they would if they knew your situation.They would find the room)The care they get there is better than most cats get at some homes.
But there must be no kill shelters nearby.Gosh..I feel so bad Gina.

What about putting an ad in the paper?Or just ask people you meet?I know you want them back but if you can't..knowing they could get homed?Would that be OK?At least it would be no more worries and the cats would get a home from a no kill shelter.This is all very heartbreaking.

I don't believe you would even suggest this.. :( :( what if I found a home next week?? next weekend? and then I can't imagine I lost them all for good. especially after all everything we've been through, the hard work I've kept them for this long now..

if arson, collapsion, landlord's death, and a human being for not paying her rents, all were in my hands - I would have prevented them. :mad: :mad:

mendo, my chinchilla still has a temporary home because he cannot deal with this heat or stress - that is fine, temorarily but no one is going.

I just got your email, please continue there.
Your right...I'm sorry.I shouldn't of suggested that.I just thought you were in a tougher spot than you are now.
Sorry Gina.
I was trying to help.I thought you were in between homes and it would be a long long while to get back on trac.
I truly am sorry.

Gina - I have seen posted here that a person who had a resume for her pets got housing, even in no-pets housing.

I haven't done one myself - if you can do one up, fine, if not, PM me the cats' details and I can do one up for you.

1. Names of pets.
2. Health issues, if any.
3. Spayed/neutered. (Can you get paperwork to prove this? I know they must have been done in many different places.)
4. Microchipped?
5. References

Even if you don't have 100% of the information above, the fact that you took the time to get a resume for your Ark shows you are a responsible pet owner.

After all, it's the OWNERS that cause pet trouble, not the pets.

It's worth a try.

Nothing big, but I figure some good thoughts might go a long way. I had my wisdom teeth extracted today and after 4 hours of smashing, bashing, and yanking the doctors, yes plural, couldn't get a piece from one of the teeth out. They're paying to send me to a specialist surgeon to try and get it out tomorrow.

I already feel like I went ten rounds with a heavyweight, so if anyone can spare some good thoughts for tooth extraction round 2, I'd appreciate it.

I would like to ask you guys if you could say a prayer for my grandparents.

My Papa just had 3 strokes within a month and he was in the hospital for a week. After he got out he realized that the stroke had affected his eye sight and he can't see much at all with his left eye. He is very upset about it because he has always been use to going to tradeday each saturday and several times a week going places to see friends/family.
Now he has to rely on my mom and I to carry him places. I don't mind at all carrying him anywhere; he means the world to me and I would do anything for him, but I know he misses driving and doing things like that for himself.

I guess all this has just been a lot for my grandma and she has just been really upset lately.

So can you please pray for my Papa's eye sight to come back and that he won't have anymore strokes and that my grandma will be ok and nt worry so much.

Thank~you guys very very much; I appreciate it with all my heart.

I am sure he enjoys your company, and I pray that he gets his sight back.

Some days at work really take something out of me.

One of our last clients today was a sweetheart old lady with a 20 year old cat who had a cancerous growth on her nose. We had been radiating the tumor with little success, and finally the lady decided to just make her comfortable for as long as she could.

Marigold's day to leave for the bridge was today. We think the tumor's filaments may have reached her brain, and she started to seize. So her mom brought her in and euthanized her.

My heart is broken for this lady, she just lost her husband a few weeks ago, and while she knew Marigold was not long for this world, I think she is feeling very very alone right now. I normally don't write a lot in the sympathy cards we send out, buy Marigold's mama got a long message from me. I wish I could do more for her. Let me add that aside from the tumor, Marigold looked amazing for a 20 year old. She was a pampered, beloved family member.

She needs some good vibes right now, please send some if you can spare any. Marigold, rest easy and send your mama some purrs from the RB.

Be a happy kitten at the Bridge, Marigold. HUGS

Prayers for that dear lady...to lose two loved ones so close together.

I hope Marigold is on her husband's lap, and, as Gary would say, waiting for the One Fine Day.

I am sure she will appreciate the extra notes and words.

If she ever wants to adopt again...not that she will...but older and elderly cats are so hard to place, and that might be a good choice for her.

My cousin Hein had a very serious accident on his motorbike :( He is suffering terrible pains. They are still doing tests, but we know that he has broken vertebrae :eek: . One of those is even totally shattered. Luckily no nerves are damaged. This vertebra will be removed and replaced by a "donor-vertebra". This highly dangerous surgery will be done this coming friday. Untill then, it is forbidden for him to move, even only an inch... . To fight the enormous pain, he is getting morfine injections. There is something wrong with his longs too, they are doing tests today.
Please send lots of prayers and good vibes.... ! Thanks!!!

I am currently "birthing" one of several kidney stones. A first for me though I had suspicions. Had diagnostic surgery (competent urologist) Tuesday, sent home by above doc who idiot wrote "fine", to ER that evening, one bewildering night in hospital, good internist visit on Thursday and now home where I hope to stay and perhaps avoid pain killer though I do have some. Eating a little, drinking forced and sort of comfortable. No responses desired or needed. Thank you !

This really IS comparable to labor & delivery though my three were quite tolerable..... this is the 1 time i thought i was facing final air & water
ihs

*UPDATE Oct 28* - the newest repeat CT renal does not show any stones now!!...so I have passed the 3 of them. Our best guess is possibly the diagnostic surgery I had for the unknown pain jogged them loose as the kidney was gently probed under anesthesia or maybe they had started moving on their own since the pain worsened that very night. Maybe they would have passed even without the surgery - God only knows. Painful as babies and hope for no more though they are usually lifelong I understand. (both kidney stones and babies :p ) Praise and Thanks for all prayers.

I'd like to make a prayer request for my step sister, Melissa. She has had a rare type of breast cancer but had surgery and has been doing well the past couple years. She was doing a fund raising breast cancer awareness walk this weekend when she suddenly began to feel ill and eventually collapsed and had a seizure. She is in the hospital now and they keep having to keep her sedated because she is agitated and thrashing around. They are taking her for a CT scan now. She hasn't been responding to people other than to look at them. She is only in her 20s, has already had to deal with so much. I truly fear for her right now and my mom and stepfather are really frightened and upset. Thank you.

Everyone hurting and need remains in my prayers.

10-28-2007, 08:08 PM

Thank you gini and Candace. I can't stop thinking about her. My mom mentioned she had been drinking a lot of water beforehand. I worry some about water toxicity (hyponatremia). There are really no other clues at this point but that can cause brain damage or even death. It seems they would have checked her sodium levels though and would know if that could be the cause. I just don't really know much at this point. Thank you for praying for her. I want so badly for her to recover and be herself again.

K9soul

10-28-2007, 08:44 PM

Received an update on Melissa from my mom:

The CT scan was negative for problems. The doctor said that Melissa had the lowest magnesium levels he had ever seen and that she also had a low sodium level but they do not seem to think this caused the seizure. Melissa can open her eyes but is unable to respond verbally at all. She has been treated for the magnesium and sodium problem and those levels are returning to normal. They have her scheduled for an MRI tomorrow.

Thank you for keeping her in your prayers.

Please pray for my sister-in-law, Pauline & my brother Paul. She went to Boston to her specialist last Monday, they immediately hospitalized her & moved her name to the top of the recipient list for a liver transplant. And this morning her mother died, back in Maine where they all live.

After my brother called us this morning, we drove up & saw them. She doesn't look good at all, but is in good spirits in spite of everything going on. She only wishes she could have seen her mother again, but their son was able to be with his grandmother when she passed on.

I really am concerned for Pauline's life, if a liver doesn't come available soon. The transplant team has been working with her all week. She is extremely ill. (She's only in her early 50's.) My brother's been so stressed out trying to take care of her & her mother for the past couple months, he could use some prayers, too.

I'm adding all the new prayer requests to my own list --
K9soul, I hope they are able to help Melissa - she's so young. :(

Melissa "awoke" this morning around 1:30 and is now communicating. An MRI and blood tests were done and we are awaiting results but she seems to quickly be coming around. Thomas (my stepfather) spoke briefly with her and Karen said that she is doing very well, though still exhausted. Thank you for your prayers.

Thank you again so much for the prayers. I'm hoping her recovery will continue in a positive way and they can find out what happened to cause this.

That's amazing news Pat, Pauline and the family continue in my prayers, as well as the donor's family. What an amazing thing that a donor can give life to another person. Every time I hear or read about it, even in typing a medical report for my job, it seems so miraculous.

Melissa has been released from the hospital, her MRI and other tests were normal. It was determined she did indeed overload on fluids. The thing about it that upsets the family is originally after she felt sick and they took her to the Medic tent, they just assumed she wasn't feeling well because she hadn't been getting enough fluids, and so they pushed her to drink MORE until she had a seizure and went into a comatose type state. They could very well have caused her death by what they did. Water toxicity is nothing to fool around with. Thank God she made it through.

I'm saying a prayer now for all those in need who have posted all those who have not, who are suffering in any way.

Prayers, please:

For Scotty, a friend who was waiting to even get ON a liver transplant list...died in his bed several days ago age 50.

Prayers for his friends, and my friend Irene who knew his well and is distraught.

Prayers that Scotty's parents will at least fly out for a service...they aren't coming out here even though he died.

Next - for Roland, so close to having a 10 year dream come true, and wandering around unmotivated as decisions are in other hands, but his is key to making this happen...prayers for him in his confusion and fear.

And...for Ernest and Lynn, who when the doctors could do nothing, researched and did their own treatment for Lynn's liver cancer. It was in remission for a bit. Now she has a surgical tube so her stomach can get food and her liver can drain properly. She is lovely and vibrant and 56, and has a few months.

Thank you.

It's been 6 months since my brother has been in jail. For more information please go back in this thread as it's hard to type it all out again. :( The holidays are coming and pretty much will be miserable. I dread the holidays. I put on a fake face to get through. We don't know anymore information than we did months ago. He has been sentenced and for him to still be sitting in there seems a bit strange. Either way the judicial system sucks and so do the holidays. And my job is stressing me out and I feel blah about it. Also had an abnormal pap which resulted in a colposcopy and biopsy. Follow up appt for the biopsy results in 2 weeks. Dr. doesn't think it's a huge deal, doesn't think they are the high grade lesions the pap smear said they were. Ah, this time of year is supposed to be so joyous........yeah sure. :(

Johanna, I hope that every day will get a bit easier. Tonsilectomy is not an easy surgery at any age. Helen had it at 10 and although she was old enough to understand what was going on, the poor little girl was miserable for a week. Day 5 was the worst, if I remember correctly, and it was right on schedule as they told us that would be the worst day.

Jonah, and everyone else mentioned will be in my prayers. I sure am glad that God is organized and knows who and what we mean as it is so hard to list everything that we are hoping and praying for.

I have a family member that was diagnosed with ALS week before last, after a lot of misdiagnosis. Please keep her in your prayers, too.

I haven't been posting much lately but lurking a lot. I could use a prayer or two for me.

In mid-October, I woke up with what felt like a heart attack. Turned out to be Pleurisy with Eflussion. Felt like a ballon filled with water lodged between my lung and chest wall. Every time I moved, the liquid would roll and hurt--a lot. So I went to Doctors care, and was referred to a Pulmonary Specialist.

No cure; it'll go away eventually!! said the doc. New Xrays and I'm referred to another specialist.

From all indications, I have a seriously painful case of Rheumatoid Arthritis. In one month it went from my shoulder, progressed to my feet and then to my hands. It has now invaded my knees and elbows. I'm swollen and tender in most of those places, but not every place every day. Mornings are the worst; I need help getting dressed some days and sometimes can't drive.

I couldn't get a Dr. appointment until Dec.3. Until then, I'm taking Naproxen to soften the pain.

RA has no "cure". I hope I can find a method of pain relief when I see the Dr.

So far I've spent $1500 on doctors and tests. (No insurance) Signed up for Medicare but there's a glitch and I only have Part A, so unless I end up in the hospital, it's all on me.

I know how well PT prayers work. Please say one for me.

Everyone else continues to remain in my thoughts and prayers. I also thought that I'd update you about my mom. Some you may remember that she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in July and the doctor thought that it may have been due to a virus.
She's doing much better now and will hopefully continue to improve so it must have been a virus that caused this. She's still taking it easy and taking medication but her health is so much better than it was in July. This is the best news that I've had all year and I just wanted to share it with you.:) Thanks again for the PT prayers.:)

first of all, thank you everyone for the PM asking us how and where we are.. sorry I've been slacking in to reply, our inbox is nearly full anyway and I'll have to clean it out soon. I've been physically so busy and emotionally dragged watching out for my home and safety of my furkids - I'd say just to continue and keep us in your prayers as we don't know much of details or the suspect has been found yet. out of contemplation, I've been working out to break the lease earlier and move out here as soon as I find temporary homes for all of my cage and tank animals - I can't stand this house anymore, the cops have came again pounding.

and I've just caught up with this, all of prayers you asked for are added to my list (not that I need to, I remember because I worry) and will be thinking of all. I'm so sorry for some that have not worked out. :(

((hugs)) to all and thanks again for the thoughts.

Gina, that you find a safe place for you and your Ark(with electricity).

Cathy - that you get the courage. I don't know if a counsellor would do any good (even to help point out that this is not working) - if he wants another chance, it should be on that condition, or nothing changes.

I hope you have a plan - just who will be moving out, you or him? And some of the details with that.

HUGS everyone.

Thank you for the prayers. They must be working. That and the Prednisone.

Doctor gave me a shot and a schedule of prednisone yesterday. I feel much better today; swelling has gone down markedly. I even drove myself to work.

I have a greater tolerance for the people who drive carefully and walk "funny" in the store. I understand much better what the loss of independence can do to the mind. Maybe this is the lesson I was meant to learn.

Never take good health for granted. It can disappear in a moment.

I'll be sending prayers for everyone in pain. And prayers of thanks for my relief.

Finances have never been my strong point, but I was going to squeak by this month....BARELY. Just barely. The school just cashed $60 in checks that I gave them three months ago and didn't record, mt overdrew my checking, which tried to pull money from my credit card, which didn't have enough on it.

I'm an unemployed full-time (1 1/2x full-time) college student and I feel like I have no recourse, I an going to get charged $22 a day until I get paid...a week from Monday. I was already heartbroken that I couldn't afford to get anyone presents this year, now I'm just broken.

Oh yes, finals are next week and I have jury duty the week after. The relationship situation hasn't been resolved yet either.

I could really use some good vibes for surviving this holiday season, please.

Sometimes you get a real human being who can do something to make things easier for you - delaying the $22 as long as you pay by X date. Just try it - you never know!

My father was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) in 2001. It has been far from easy, but things have been managed fairly well up until this point.

He was admitted to a local hospital today at 3am. "It" may a a drug reaction (less likely), infection in his spinal cord or white blood cells infiltrating his spinal cord. No diagnosis yet, but many diagnostics are being run. I have never seen him in such pain.

Pray to give us the strength to do the right thing. He has told us he asks for no extraordinary measures-- my mother & I know that is important to him. I feel like I'm suffocating...

Please pray that he may be out of pain soon. :(

Here he is pictured with my mother...celebrating 40 years together!

A 50-year-old cement truck driver has been charged in connection with a horrific accident that killed five people -- including three children -- in Calgary Friday night.

http://news.sympatico.msn.ctv.ca/images/Feeds/ctv/ctv_topstoriesV2/160_clgy_car_crash_071208.jpg
CTV.ca News Staff
The crushed Chrysler Intrepid is seen here under a 2005 Mack 700 Tri-Axel cement truck at the intersection of MacLeod Trail and 194 Avenue South West in Calgary Friday, Dec. 7, 2007.

The victims were crushed after the car they were in, which was stopped at a red light, was rear-ended by a Mack 700 Tri-Axel cement truck.

Police say the northbound Chrysler Intrepid was stopped at a red light located at the intersection of MacLeod Trail and 194 Avenue Southwest around 7 p.m. on Friday when it was struck from behind by a 2005 Mack 700 Tri-Axel cement truck.

"The force of the impact lodged the Intrepid under the front of the cement truck and the momentum of this truck pushed this vehicle nearly 300 metres northward where it finally came to rest in the east curb lane and shoulder," a statement from Calgary police said.

A male driver, 41, [father of the two girls]and a female passenger, 33,[mother of the baby] were pronounced dead at the scene. [They were engaged]

A six-year-old girl, nine-year-old girl and 16-month-old baby boy were also killed in the crash. Police say all three children were properly restrained in the back seat of the vehicle at the time of the collision.

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE DRIVER IS ONE OF OUR LOCAL AND BELOVED "FRIENDS IN SOBRIETY". We all are stunned, crying...we felt ripped apart like everyone did for the family killed...but to find out it is someone who has a heart of gold, and would not hurt a fly...who is truly loved by his friends...was driving the truck...

PLEASE PRAY FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED...and that the truth comes out, WHATEVER it is.

thanks... :( :(

I may need a couple...I'm going in Monday to get my gallbladder out "the old Fasion Way".
I have a screen covering my stomach from the hernias and i have mesh holding my bowel together and tons of scar tissue(from the back surgery going through the front that did some damage years ago).
So,Going in blind with the scope through the belly button would not only have to reopen the screen but she may not be able to tell where the scope is going that could run into the week mesh holding the bowel.
plus re-repairing the opened screen can cause problems later on in years.
So the old fasion way...by far is the safest.
So i'll be in for 4-5 days.hopefully no more than that.
i'm caring for an old cat seperated from the rest that is super needy.I'm constantly at his beck and call.
I hope Mike can keep him happy.
Mike is fine with the others..i just am worried the old cat seperated from the rest won't get the attention he's use to.so i hope to be home soon.
i'm sure all will be fine though.i worry more for the cats than me.it's a easy operation.and i'll feel so much better after.

Dear ones, would you say a prayer for Vickie, the children's ministry director at my church. She was treated for breast cancer, and then for ovarian cancer that developed as a result of the treatment for the breast cancer. From what I've read, women develop an increased risk for ovarian cancer after breast cancer and treatment. She is going to a specialist to see about a clinical trial because she now has lesions (translation: tumor?) on her liver. She's just an amazing woman, a total bundle of energy and the kids love her.

My father's oncologist and the neurologist who has been overseeing his care believe that his nervous system is compromised and that recovery is not possible. They are not suggesting any treatment options at this point (although we had already ceased diagnostics and treatment earlier). His major organs continue to function well, so he probably has days possibly weeks left until one of them fails.

He is being transferred to Hospice today. They will treat him for comfort first and foremost. We have been waiting for a spot, so this is a blessing.

Please send prayers/good thoughts for peace.

Now, I am not a religious person, but I "talked" to her and asked her to hang on and get through Christmas. She did. Then I asked her to hang on until after the new year. She did. On the night of the 2nd, I realized how selfish I was being and told her to go ahead and go that grandpa was waiting for her. She passed away early the next morning.

He's going through some really tough times right now. His mom has alzheimer's really bad (most of the time she thinks he's her brother:()
They (he and his 4 sisters) are trying to find 24 hour in home care and if that doesn't work she'll be put in a nursing home.

It's not only that her health is going downhill and dealing with her alzheimer's but the sisters are more interested in the house and her car...or should I say money.
It seems like everyone wants to fight. Why is that? Why can't they just be concerned with their mom and want to take care of her? Why is it always about money?
Of course I can't interfere, I'll be told she's not my mom (his sisters and I don't get along-because their all idiots :rolleyes: )

Sorry to go on, but he's having a terrible time and only wants what's best for his mom.

Recently my grown son came home with a rag-tag little pup that our family was not ready to accept as yet. We had just lost our precious Casey to the tires of our speeding neighbor's truck and the new pup just came along at the wrong time. Unable to find a new home for him and none of the org. were willing to take him, he stayed on. I had him checked for Parvo and wormed along with treated for early mange. Christened Jake by my son, he became part of the household and I thought it time to go ahead and get his shots if he was going to stay on. We have not had any Parvo in our home our yard that I am aware of, but somehow he came down with Parvo last week. Wed. he was not himself and Thursday he was just plain sick. Friday morning, I took him to the vet and it only took a short time for the diagnosis. Today is now Friday again and he has not improved in the least. He is on IV feedings and is still unable to stop vomiting. The vet is not allowing us to see him at all. She is not very sociable and often downright mean to humans. Great to animals- but bedside manner is not her thing for sure. I am starting to fear he will not get well and perhaps I am doing him a disservice to continue when he is so sick. Today when I called the vet didn't even talk to me and I was told to call back in the morning. We are upto some serious dollars at this point, but that is really not the issue here. I will come up with it somehow. I just do not think I should continue if he is suffering and not getting any better. They have just told me each day that he is no better, but no worse. I do love the little fellow and I cannot bear to see him this way. He was so attached to me, that I just know he must wonder what has happened to him and where I am. I know they do not think logically, but I know they grieve over people they love. Jake followed me from room to room here at home. I feel that the vet should let me see him. I am so sorry, I used this vet and not my normal one. She is a vet that does all the low cost spay and neuter in our area. I really appreciate her doing this and I tried to give her my other business. I know she is a really good vet and she does wildlife rehab as well. Her office manager is sour and rude as well. Please keep Jake in your prayers. He is a sweet little man of mixed lineage. I see choc. lab with webbed toes and something else. He is by far the wildest pup I have ever seen. I pray he will be again.

Could you all spare some prayers for me? I am so scared right now and feel like I am living a nightmare. I went for my yearly mammogram on Tuesday of last week and they found a mass in my right breast. I had a "diagnostic" on Friday and the ultrasound shows a pronounced wall around the mass that has the doctor concerned. I am having a biopsy on Thursday of this week.

There is no history of breast cancer in my family that we are aware of, but there are other kinds of cancers. I am trying to stay hopeful that all will be well, but I am so scared. My friends are being very supportive, as is my boyfriend. Everyone tells me to not get upset since I don't know what is going on. That is easily said....not easily done. All I want to do is cry. I have doubled my anti-anxiety meds, and that helps some. I just cannot believe that this is happening to me. :(

Easy for THEM to tell you to not get upset....but I guess they are just trying to help.

OF COURSE you are SCARED. Best of luck with the biopsy Thursday - and let's hope it is just a nasty fibroid cyst! (I had one for YEARS)

HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS!

Prayers to all those who need them. I have a dear internet friend that has incurable cancer. We've known each other for about eight years now. She's very positive about it and is also trying alternative things to help treat it. She has made peace with it but she's got a grandchild that will be born in February. Wouldn't it be wonderful for some kind of miracle so she could watch them grow up?

For anyone who remembers jackmilliesmom, she's on another board.

She went into hospital a few days ago, seriously ill, according to John her husband. She won't be back at any board until after a "long absence" (John again). John said he can't tell us what the illness is.

Prayers that she will have a full and complete recovery.

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO MY WONDERFUL PET TALK FAMILY AND DEAR FRIENDS!

A special thanks to those that called me. It was such a special treat and everyone couldn't believe all the phone calls that I was getting and from all over the states too. You guys are the best!

If you haven't figured it out I'M HOME! Yes, I talked me way right out of there. It wasn't too great of a homecoming though. My son brought me home and was a bit upset because he thought they were releasing me too early. Maybe they did, but I sure as heck don't care. Then we get to my house to find my soon to be ex-Husband loading up the truck and he was quite surprised to see us pull up and block his exit. Let's just say that all hell broke loose and now I'm a little beat up and now I feel like I should be in the hosptial..lol. I'm ok though. Call the police. Not too much can be done except take out a restraining order, which apparently I have to do through my divorce lawyer and which is going to cost me $1500. So now I have to borrow money from my parents. Thats not fun at all.

Anyway, enough about that. Please continue to keep me in your prayers because I really really need them. I am not feeling too good about myself right now.

THANK YOU PET TALK!

Robin...if nothing else, I hope that what your ex has done has helped you realize that he is total poison for you!

Please keep getting outpatient help - to recover from a toxic marriage takes time, and doesn't happen overnight!

HUGS

I think I do finally realize this. He is a very bad and mean person. He has no morals and doesn't care about anyone but himself. After being with him since I was 16 years old. I think that makes it 27 years all together I never ever thought I would say something like that about him. He is cruel and uncaring and just downright mean.

I sitll am having a hard time and it is hard to accept that this is who he is now. but I finally do know that I have to accept it.

Again, I continue to cry and I so wish that would stop. Both of my corneas are infected and the doc thinks that all the crying with my contacts in might have led to that. So now I can't even wear my contacts and my glasses are so old...lol. Hopefully the corneas will clear up soon. I just feel like I'm beat up all over.

Thanks again Everyone!

Robin-I am terribly sorry your going through this.keep in mind that you DO need a restraining order and still need to watch yourself even after.you should try to keep yourself around at least 1 other person for at least a year.i know it sounds extreem...but these kind of men are very dangerous.I too was in a marriage a long time back with a very scary man.
i also have been through the mill with other very scary men.
no more though (thank God) but i have done my share on reading about these type guys and feel i know what to look for when just talking with a male for the first time.
by the way...most men are very very nice...it's those few that you need to look out for.
And of course it goes the other way around too with scary woman.(not to exclude the other sex)
(i don't want to get in trouble here..lol)
Anyway...take the advice on never being alone as much as possible...please...it's very important.

Anna - I am posting this here, and attaching it so you can send or fax it to Robin, if possible. She needs a long withdrawl period from this man/situation. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results each time. She's known him since she was 17...it's going to be really hard for her if she didn't have that living-on-her-own experience for a while.

I pray she learns to be comfortable in her own skin...and stays put until she is well. {{{{hugs}}}}
************************************************** ***
6 GOOD Reasons For "No Contact"

1. Your ex is doing "no contact". You wouldn't be sweating those digits if they were calling you. When people love you, you love them. When people stay away from you, you should do the same. Hey, you don't want to be where you're not wanted, do you?

2. Begging and pleading doesn't work. If it did, you wouldn't be here. So try something different.

3. You're just asking for a panic attack. I don't know how many stories I've read on here of people who have given in and called or e-mailed and were completely slapped in the face or ignored by their ex. Then they're back at square one, feeling as bad as they did the day they got dumped. Or for those of you who get those ambiguous responses, you're given a tiny piece of string to hold onto while they continue to go out and have their fun - without you. It ain't worth it, honey.

4. What about you? Don't you deserve to be called and missed? Your ex wasn't the only one in the relationship, and you shouldn't be the only one calling. Guess what? He/she knows your number/e-mail address too. It's not fair to have one-sided communication. Invest that time and energy into yourself.

5. You won't be able to move on if you're still holding on to old ghosts. I say old ghosts because he/she isn't there anymore. They've moved on, some for better, a lot for worse. But the point is they've moved on. And you know what? If they really love you and they see that you're better than the rest out there, they'll be back. And if they don't, then you'll find someone who will think you're top dog. And you deserve that. Interesting stat - 90% of people in the US get married at least once. So it's against the odds that you'll be alone forever.

6. God loves you. He doesn't want to see you suffer. But God teaches those that he loves, so sometimes we have some hard lessons to learn. Take it in stride and gain everything that you can. He will be pleased and send you all that your heart needs and wants. Don't believe me? "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."

Psalm 37:4.

So let go of the phones and cancel the e-mails. Go read a good book. Pray, take a walk, write in a diary, post on here. But leave your ex alone. He/she will thank you for it, and you'll be thanking yourself later.

Would everyone please pray for my son, Dylan. He is going through very hard times right now.

He is currently in placement at a state juvenile correctional facility, for various small infractions, nothing big or violent. He was hoping to be released and be able to come home at the end of February. However, the judge sentenced him to six more months. His beloved grandfather passed away on Saturday. He feels like he let his grandpa down, and wasn't here for his last Christmas. I know there are many things he would have wanted to say, and he didn't get the chance. He is going through this alone, with no family there to support and help him. He also has to have surgery this week. He will be all alone for it, no one there with him but an employee of the facility.

He is beyond distraught over all this, and is currently on suicide watch. He is sixteen years old.

Please pray for him.

Thank you.
