Grace,
I am so sorry. I will keep you in my prayers. This is such a terrible thing to have to go through.

Actually, I missed only one. I had to guess at the pony's name but got it right. Just call me a mud pie.

Connie,
I am also glad you posted. Your wonderful husband loved you and his family so much that each post had a little of what he felt for you in it. We felt honored to share some of your FRANK and his sense of humor. I miss him terribly.
I hope you will continue to come here and share with us and let us keep you company when you feel the need to talk. You and your family are in my prayers.
There are so many feelings I have that I would like to express but am at a loss for words. Frank was one heck of a guy.

Kasey, congratulations on helping others over 3000 times. Gee, maybe we "talk" too much? Just kidding...need your support and love getting it.

Andrea,
This is great news. Now you can paint 1/2 the room pink and the other half blue. Can't get any better than one of each. Glad everyone is ok at present. Keeping you in my prayers.

I take xanax at night to help calm my brain and during the day ONLY when I am totally stressed or anxious. It is a life saver. I have taken it for almost 15 years and never had to up the dose to get the same results. I am also on wellbutrin for depression. Anxiety and depressions sometimes go hand in hand but they are not the same. I take .25 (the white one) and often only take 1/2 of it. My husband takes .5. Neither of us have found the need to increase our doses so I guess its like pain meds. If you need it you won't get hooked. Just don't take it for "fun".

Pattie,
Thanks for stopping in and telling us about Frank. I hope his pain stays under control and that his dreams are happy. My love to you and Connie and family. Give Frank a big hug from me.

I have also noticed. Much too young to have to deal with a disease like this. I hate this beast. I hope youth and vigor will help them all.

I had an MRI of my brain last Wednesday because I have been having headaches. They called today and said everything was clear...still empty headed. YEAH!!!
Now all I have to do is figure out why I am still having headaches.

Our thermostats are not really set properly. If it says 70 on the thermostat a separate thermometer says it is 75. We like to keep the house around 70 in winter and 73 to 75 in summer. That takes a little math as I never know what the thermostat is going to do. We've had it checked to no avail.

Congrats Debi. So happy that your tests are all ok. Let us know when you get the official results as I know you will.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is such a sad time to lose a parent and we appreciate the fact that you chose Lungevity as your cause. I hope it will help others in your father's place. It is very nice of you to let us know that somehow this LCSC helped you in your journey with this disease.

Awww Frank. It breaks my heart to think of you the way you describe. You are one of the bravest people I know and I am sure many others agree. Your weekly posts are a wonderful tribute to your deep love for other people. Just know that we love you back and wish with all of our hearts that things were different for you.
You are constantly in my prayers, as well as Connie and the rest of the family. Can you feel this hug? ((((((Frank))))))

Debi,
You are my champion. We all are so proud of you. You've worked hard, got a great job and a great back up job...a new apartment and Eric is coming to live with you. Can't beat that with a hammer.
I know about worry and test time. I had an MRI last wed and still haven't gotten the results. My brain tells me that I am probably ok. Its been almost 4 years, I should count my blessings. However, this new normal won't let me NOT worry. I am doing what Andrea said, eating ice cream and trying to keep it together til I find out.
You are stronger than I am. I know you will be ok. I just feel it. You deserve this wonderful new life and I feel you will have it for a long, long time.
Keeping you in my prayers for good news.

On Jan 18th l988 I was in a buiness building after hours working. It was raining hard. The lights went out and I went for a flash light. Next thing I knew I was under the entire building covered in insulation, electric wires, steel beams and tin roofing. I was not hurt but it took me almost an hour to climb out of all of that mess. When I reached the open I had no idea where I was for certain. The landscape was totally different. Buildings were gone, lights were out and it was raining hard. I walked down the road til I got to the highway and hitched a ride to my mother's house. I looked a mess with wet clothes covered in all kinds of building materials. I survived then and so far I have survived now. I still have no idea what God has in store for me but I feel like I should be "doing" something about the plan He has for me. I pray for Him to let me know what I am suppose to do and so far the message isn't very clear. All I know is I am still alive and happy about that part. To this day tornado warnings get me upset beyond normal limits and it takes a little xanax to calm me down.

Aaron,
It has been 2 years since my last MRI and I am having heahaches too. I think it is probably sinus pain or general headaches from the dry heat etc. I still asked for an MRI and got it Wed. I should hear from it next week. I am actually not worried (she says) but I want to hear those words "empty headed" just in case.

My dad died when I was 33 and he was 56, my mom died when I was 47 and she was 71. I still miss both of them very much and often wonder what they would think or say in a particular situation.

I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers that you have strength and peace in the coming days, weeks and months.

I would read it. I always ask, even after the doctor has told me about it, to get a copy of the report. I read it and make a copy of my copy and give that to my PCP so that he and I both have a copy of all of my reports from any test. Someone has to keep up with all of it and it might as well be me and my primary doctor.

This is wonderful news. Anything to make people change their opinion about the "smokers" disease.

Well, you know where I am so looks like I'm also not one of the lucky 17million.

Nancy I hope your scans are great. I'll keep you in my prayers. I know you are tired but when you feel up to it we would love to hear from you.
Connie, thanks for letting us know.

Andrea I am glad you posted. You always have so much going on and I know the stress things put you in. I haven't heard much about your dad lately. Can you give us an update?

Becky, that sounds like one of my visits for blood work at my oncologist's office. There was one lady that always seemed to be "my" nurse. She couldn't hit a garden hose much less my veins. Now I make sure I get my blood work done ahead of time at my PCP's office. There is ONE girl there that has the knack. Took almost 4 years to find her but there is someone out there that can do it.
Hope you get some sleep tonight.
Nina
