CUTE!!!

I know it's after the fact. but any day you need to take off in my opinion is a day you should take.
I took off a good amount of time around mom's birthday and anniversary of her passing...
And your dad was very special!

Mom was diagnosed 3 years ago today? Unreal.
I gardened all day and then had the opportunity to speak to a room of folks about our foundation...and raised some $ for research. Tried to make the day as worthy as possible. Now just blasting out some golf tourney e-mails...
I also got the NICEST note from one of my mother's friend's daughter...here it is:
I saw your mom a few days before we heard she passed. I saw her on the side of the road going into a store. My first thought was to stop (I had not seen her in a while and she had not meet my son Sean and I wanted them to meet) But I thought "there is plenty of time" (not knowing she was sick again) When I heard she passed I wanted to kick myself for not stoping. Randy had taught me so much in the years i knew her, go figure she taught me another thing right before passing. Never wait till tomorrow, do it today!!!
She was the strongest person I have ever and will ever meet. Some of her influences are the reason I am the woman I am today. She always told me when I was being bitchy or not being fair. She taught how to handle some of lifes little chalenges (weather I wanted to hear it or not) When my parents got divorced, Randy was always over helping us with something or another. And I like to think we were there for here when she needed someone too. (me and my mom)
Sorry to vent like this, I just kind of feel like telling you these thing makes Randy hear them in some way. I have dealt with a lot of deaths in my life. But Randy, I just can't find closure. Just writing this I'm balling my eyes out.
sorry....
My mom was amazing. I miss her.

Just too hard to accept. This type of thing breaks my heart.
-
Bobby, of course we remember you. It's really nice to hear form you./
-
I'm so very sorry to hear of the passing of your mom.
-
Patti, this is an incredibly positive update!!!!
Awesome.

No one likes to reverse course on the theories they are vested in.
My frat brother who was diagnosed with Breast cancer is a big "sugar feeds cancer" guy too. He steers clear as much as reasonably possible.

I'm sorry Debbie...I'm sure it stirs many feelings as well as being a loss of a friend.
-
However, when you look at what you're paying for ($96.40 for 80% vs $122.17 for 20%), I'll leave that thought up to you.
Are you saying the 80% medicare is cheaper because it is government run versus the 20% supplemental is more expensive because it is privately run?
-
I can't beleive it has been two years.
I hope you have a wonderful celebration...I'm glad those around you are supportive and understanding. That's huge.
But still very sorry it has been two years.

If it's localized, I'd definitely look at the targetted therapies like cyberknife/gamma knife and the like...a lot less collateral damage than straight up radiation.
-
I'm really sorry to read this. My thoughts and prayers are with her husband and family and you too Connie.
-
No one here will ever accuse you of whining, grow bored with your feelings or heap any expectations upon you...we'll just understand.
We really do understand.
I'm so sorry.
-
Everything is crossed...some parts of me are better at this than others.
All kidding aside, prayers for a successful procedure.
-
I wonder if this would also have applications for asbestos victims or coal miners or those who discover they were exposed to radon...
Either way, very cool and hopeful.
-
What a great experience!!!
-
I don't know thhat I know exactly how you feel, but I can say I think I know a lot of what you are feeling.
The cliche's don't help...but people don't know what to say or do. I will admit, even I still have a problem knowing what to say. But I will say I know YOU are hurting. And for that I am sorry.
We'll certainly be here, know that when you type, others will know what you are are feeling. We get it.
-
Jana, I so get it.
You've changed so much, so many things have happened and you 1. just want her to see it but 2. part of why you are the person you are today is because of her absense.
I trust she does see you and has shared all you would have wanted to share...I also know it is unfulfilling to not see it.
Hang in there.
-
Paula, I am so sorry.
He wasn't alone. The Lord was there.
I'm sure he wanted to be home, and he went home.
I know it is hard, things didn't happen how you wanted them to. We'll be here.
-
Two things to be extra positive about!
Congrats on the NED and your wife sounds like a trooper. Hoping her treatments continue to go well.

Can I ask a few questions?
Is he just on Prednisone? I'm not familiar with that altering someone's personlity like decadron does.
Which leadds to my next question...is he "different". Not trying to be rude...but was he always a bad patient. I am a crappy patient myself. But does he seem like comepletely not himself? Which leadsme to my next question.
If he is being very unlike himself...is it maybe a good idea to get an Brain MRI? Just trying to think of all the possibilities.
Sorry to hear there isn't another alternative for caregivers to give you some time off.

I'm so sorry to hear your dad has passed. You clearly did a wonderful job as a care giver.
