I tried to soap a window one time. As I started, I looked in and a man was starring at me doing it. I ran faster than I ever had. End of window soaping for me.
Earl, love your name, it was my husband's name.
My good friend was dx'd 4 years ago with extensive sclc. She now only has to see the dr. once a year. All things are possible.
We got a second opinion. Not sure if it made a medical difference but it certainly made a peace of mind difference.
Kasey who is on this site had 3 different very dire opionions. Went for a 4th and she is here 8 years later, living life.
I would tell your Mother that you love her so much you want to make sure she checks out all of her options since medical science is advancing and can be hard for drs to keep up with everything.
What a wonderful way to spend Christmas, 6 years is amazing. Just keep on trucking with that great spirit you have, you will succeed.
Merry Christmas Janet and a much easier new year.
Like you Cyndy, my BFF of over 50 years is my travel companion. We have done 6 trips, Italy, a riverboat through Provence, a bus trip in Ireland, a riverboat from Amsterdam to Vienna, bus trip through England, Scotland and Wales and just in September we did Prague to Budapest. I am just about cathedrals overdone and am considering a golf trip for 2013. Unfortunately my best friend does not golf but I have many friends that do.
I have tried dating and find I do no enjoy it. Family and friends are the best (and they don't expect me to fold their laundry, lol).
If you would like, pm me your telephone #.
Hi Cyndy, I am 4 months ahead of you on this journey and like you am living a happy and productive life. Just lost my part time job and felt a little lost for a few weeks. But now I consider it a gift and am looking on how to reinvent myself. This crazy life certainly does offer us many opportunities.
We do survive. And we do it successfully. We continue to love and remember.
I am happy to hear that you are doing well.
Hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray,hooray, hooray, hooray
15 Hoorays Donna.
And many good thoughts for your husbands results.
MD, I am sorry the news was not all good but there is alot of encouraging news among the not so good. Don't have any info for you but wanted to stop in and say Hi, since I live right outside Phila.
Don't know Jeff either, my husband was at Penn and Fox Chase.
I send you and your wife good wishes for continued success.
Hope is my favorite 4 letter word. Life without it is somehow lacking. I always had hope when Earl was ill, that some pointy headed sneaker scientist would yell Eureka. Didn't happen for him but I still have HOPE, I still have HOPE.
Years ago, our dog dug up a bunny nest. We brought the baby bunnies in and called the vet. We put them in an aquarium and attached at light for warmth. Feed them round the clock, did everything the vet said to do, but they did not make it. The whole family was sad for days.
Now I think I have a bunny that is eating my impatiens. Not so in love with the bunny right now.
Sue, your perseverance is amazing. Your desire to keep going I believe will keep you going.
Janet, the stores make amazing potato salads, cole slaw whatever, Just hide the containers.
Susan, it was my honor to take care of my husband, to have our retirement plans disappear, to watch him suffer, to impact our savings etc etc.
Maybe honor is the wrong word. I loved him. His well being was far more important than thing else.
I am sure your family feels this way about you. Of course, they would like it to be like before, this is just natural. But it isn't and they love you and will do what it takes to be there for you.
Oh Dani, I am so sorry to hear this news. You have had more than your fair share of bad news. Hopefully it will only be good news from now on. You will be in my prayers.
Absolutely beautiful day here in suburban Philadelphia, sunny, no humidity and high in the low 70's. Of course, I am in work, not on a golf course.
It seems like a lot of good news came out of last weeks meeting in Chicago. Hopefully, it can help our dear friends here.
I used to play MahJongg years ago. Stopped playing after I met Earl - MahJongg or love, decision was easy. Started playing again about 15 years ago, one every two weeks. Played for big $$$, $2.00. Stopped when Earl got sick. Just started again, it is really fun.
Does anybody play bunko? I am a game player. Addicted to both Lexulous and Rummikub on FB. Married a man who hated games. How did that happen? Fortunately, my two children inherited my game gene.
What is everyone doing today?
