How are YOU ?

[jenluckenbach]

As a forum for pet lovers we always tend to remember certain pets and wonder how they are geting along.........if they were sick....j..or just got a new sibling........or possibly they just lost a sibling......etc.
What I would like is a thread that remembers How are YOU?

You can use this thread 3 ways:
1) tell people how you are (non-pet related)
2) ask about someone
3) answer someone who asked about you

For example, I'd like to ask:
K&L-----How is your father doin?

carole---how's your mom?

Kimlovescats----How is your oldest daughter doing?

lut----How is your back since the operation?

You don't have to ask all the questions in one post, as a matter of fact, one at a time might be more personal. (I did more to get you started)

So I ask ALL of you: How are YOU?

Jen, I hope I am doing this right....

[jenluckenbach]

Hello All,

I don't know too many of you very well to ask anyone any specific questions, so I will ask all of you "How are you?" I hope everyone is doing well. I am doing alright and hanging in there. I had my radiation consultation yesterday and boy was it a bit overwhelming. I was there for 2 hours. I was being measured and marked on with a marker. The whole time my backside was completely exposed. I'm talking my big rear end out there for all to see. I told the radiologist tech that the whole thing was a little humiliating and he just chuckled and said not to worry about it, he has seen it all...lol. Then I had to go over to another area and have 2 cat scans done, which they had to stick another needle in me for an IV, then shoot some dye in me. That made me feel all warm and funny. I am so tired of all the needles!! I go for another small measuring appt. Monday (every thing has to be precise) then I will start doing my radiation and getting zapped on tuesday. I will go 5 days a week for 5 1/2 - 6 weeks. Hopefully I will not have too many side effects. They are doing it in a certian way to try and relieve some of the symptoms on my colon and bowel. I hope that it works. Everyone there is super nice and seem to have a gift for dealing with cancer pateints. I am so grateful for that. My husband says that after this is all over with he is going to take me away somewhere...just the 2 of us, for a little R & R and some peace. *Sigh*.....I can't wait! I don't know if anyone will read this, but it sure does help me to just talk about it. Thanks for letting me chat away. I do hope all is well with everyone else!

Have a great day....Robin

Awww, thanks for asking Micki76!

I'm feeling better this week. It seems to come whenever it wants, regardless of how I'm doing stress-wise. It really, really makes me appreciate the times when I'm feeling good and can do what I plan to do.

One of my professors at school also has Crohn's, so its really cool to actually talk with another person who can fully understand what I'm feeling emotionally and physically. She's more advanced than I am, so I've learned a lot and have actually been inspired by her.

[NoahsMommy]

Aly - I've missed you on AIM...how are you???

[jenluckenbach]

Robin......WOW That is a lot to go through. Hope the radiation treatment doesn't take too much out of you. Try to keep your spirits high, sometimes that will be all you will have (when you feel bad physically). Best of luck. Hopefully soon you can say "I feel GOOD!"

[RobiLee]

Jen....Thanks! Trust me, when my treatments are over and I am feeling up to par and have my energy back, I will be singing those words and doing a little dance along with it....lol. I can't wait to sing it loud...."I FEEL GOOD".....LOL.

Thanks again, Jen

Robin, I'm with you. Having your back side open is
embarrassing. At least it was for me, when I had
e-xrays taken, and their was an open window that
anybody going down the hall could peek in.

Keep you chin up and we will all be waiting for
a tuesday update, when you feel up to it.

The R&R trip sounds wonderful.

Hugs To you and Katie

I hope everybody is doing well.

Sounds like a lot of stress out their, including me.
Whomever creates stress in our lives should have
it 100 times worse than us. lol

One big wish. I hope the cure for cancer is
found this year. (I'm getting impatient)
That sucker runs in my family,
and that's one disease I would like to see wiped
out.

[RobiLee]

I'm with you Karen...that stress creator should have it 100 times worse and get a huge butt kicking!

I didn't tell you this, because it just seemed to unreal..but...2 days after my last surgery, my husband had to go to the emergency room and they thought he had a slight heart attack and he spent 2 days in the hospital (he's only 40). He's just fine though and they think it might have been stress and anxiety, which hubby teasingly blames on me. I know its true though. He has been so worried about me. Then...all in the same week my 19 year old son was sick and running a fever the whole time of 100-101. He was back and forth to the doc twice and the doc said it was an respiratory infection. He spent the whole time in bed and we thought he was going to go into pnuemonia. It was a VERY bad week!! I wasn't supposed to be driving, but I went ahead and took my son to the doc once and then headed on out to the hospital to be with hubby. I was in quite a bit of pain but I wasn't going to let that stop me...lol. My family and my husbands family were freaking out and couldn't believe everything that was going on. It was the worse week ever!!! My son's girlfriend was the best and was taking care of us all. I just try to keep my sense of humor. I would be nowhere without that. There are times though when I do break down and have a good cry and just wish for this to be all over with. I'm getting emotional now just thinking about it all. I can't believe that I am even talking about all this stuff. I am normally a very private person. I am so chatty on here but if you were too meet me in person I can be a bit on the shy side and quite. Thanks for letting me rattle on!

P.S. Karen, I think Mr. Stress Creator should get a triple butt kicking!!!!!

Chinadoll, how are you and how is Joey. I hope for you and for all the other PetTalkers who have someone in the military that they have been able to hear from their loved one and that he or she is all right.

I am fine, it is my birthday and I am going to work for the afternoon (new product launch) and out to dinner later.
