Fay A. Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I am coughing up more blood over these past two days. I believe this is where the tumor is eroding into the lung, and has been reported in past by others here there may be a time when there will be extensive bleeding. After my experiences of last summer (about 3 pints within a few minutes) my perception may be somewhat skewered when defining "...a lot of blood...". I am currently taking Oxycodone for the pain with Fentanly pops as needed for breakthrough. I am taking a med called "Haldol 2 mg twice a day" For anxiety, and very glad to have it. Also Decadron, but no steroid rages these days, and still staging down on the 2 mg twice a day dosage. I take breathing treatments 3 times a day for the time being: Nebulized stuff. Seems to help a little. Still nothing big and scarey. Hopefully never happens that way. I genuinely care for you folks. And I am grateful that you allow me this space.

Nancy B Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Fay, so glad you finally let everybody see what a beautiful person you are. I think about you and say prayers for you every day.

gail p-m Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I also love seeing your face at last. I remember the back of the "hairless" head that you had as your avatar for the longest time --- and wondered what the other side looked like. Much more important, I am sending prayers for your comfort during this very difficult time. I'm so glad that you're able to keep in touch with us.

Debi Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Fay, I am so glad that you posted a picture.

J.C. Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Thank You FAY for showing the reversed side of the bald head. You should be able to keep comfortable and calm, you know what is good for you and you still control the medication needed. Nothing big or scary for you as there was none for Mike, just a slow beautiful transition. All my love Fay and the prayers will continue. (Grace Noll Crowell) My Lord, I pray that through today I may walk patiently, Forgetting not that Thy dear hand Is leading me. I know not what Thy wisdom, Lord, May choose for me today; What the long hours may hold for me I cannot say. I only know that I may go Unquestioningly with Thee, Remembering That what Thou wilt Is best for me. For Thou, O Lord, canst see the end, While I but see the way; Help me to walk it patiently Throughout today. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jyoung20 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hey Fay, I thought of you when I read this: The Bible teaches that you don't determine a person's greatness by the value of their wealth but by the wealth of their values. Rick Warren You are a great person Fay!! XOXOXO Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still wish we could have shared a cup of coffee in our kitchens in our pearls and cardigan sets... Why can't life be more "Leave it to Beaver"?

gail Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Becky said it well---it would be wonderful to sit at the kitchen table. I am glad the pain is manageable. Those anxiety meds are tremendous too aren't they? It is so nice to see your smiling face gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
