Re: Has anyone heard from ?

[Guest guest]

Dear Feisties,

Tomorrow is the New England Feisty Lunch. I look forward to being

there. I am recuperating successfully from my February revision

surgeries with some doubts here and there which I will address in

separate posts. For about six weeks after returning home my energy

level was quite low. When I read other recent post revision

messages by other Feisties I was amazed. Only last week did I

finish reading the over 800 e-mails that were waiting for me upon my

return home from rehab.

I also have been overwhelmed for other reasons. Being self-employed

means that the work doesn’t go away; it just waits for you. For

example, in my role as property manager I came back to discover that

I had six vacancies to fill at $400 each, that’s $2400 a month of

lost income. I have since filled three of them. A lot of other

work has piled up. I wont bore you with the details.

The biggest challenge has been supporting my son who pushed the

limit at his private high school and was forced to withdraw. This

occurred during the first week home, talking with administrators on

the phone while on oxycontin, oxicodone, elavil, etc. and feeling

nauseous with no appetite. Somehow my son grew from this

experience, transferred his credits and took enough courses at the

local high school to graduate yesterday. We attended the ceremonies

at both his old and new schools yesterday and today. He and we, as

parents, have a sense of completion now, which we thought, only two

months ago, was lost.

I hope to participate more. Please, don’t be surprised if I respond

to a thread that was started months ago.

So long,

Hi,

I had to cancel the June 14th surgery. The stress of going to my

daughters high school graduation and festivites associated with that,

leaving the next day for Atlanta....and trying to go to my stepsons

high school graduation 4 days after the surgery as well as my

daughters college orientation June 26/27.....made me feel like I was

trying to do to much in June...and not allow enough time for " relaxed "

healing. The college orientation was not the problem but because it

is the end of June....I have had to delay the surgery until July.

Currently I am scheduled July 11th, 12th. ad 13th.

My Dad is dying from lung cancer...and not doing well now at all..he

is on Bridge Hospice. I just hope I can keep this new appointment.

Lifes responsibilities and obligations sometimes just plain long gets

in the way!!!!!!!!

, I'm terribly sorry to hear about your father . . . Is he in the end stage of lung cancer? . . I think you're doing the right thing in postponing your surgery . . . Your plate was already full! Hugs and prayers, Rogene

[Guest guest]

Rogene,

Almost a year ago, he was had cancer in his left lobe, had surgery

to take part of his left lobe, went thru radiation, decided not to

do the chemo...etc. Just about a month and half ago...it was found

in his right lobe. The doctor told him surgery was not an option,

nor was anymore radiation and to go home and take care of his

affairs.......etc.

Complicating the cancer has been progressive neuropathy in both

legs...and he had been walking with a walker.

Since the new diagnosis, he has gone downhill quickly. Is in a

wheelchair, has someone come to bath him and is on Bridge HOspice.

Once we loose hope I think it happens that way.

I don't think he is yet in end stage...but considering how quickly

he went from going out to lunch to a wheelchair (matter of

weeks)...I think we are looking at just months. He has given up.

Thank you so much for asking.

Wow

You have had alot on your plate recently. I know how stressful

graduations can be--my daugher just graduated high school a few

weeks ago too. You probably made a good decision rescheduling it

until july. I am so sorry to hear about your dad. Your stress

level must be pretty high right now. Please try to take good care

of yourself in the meantime. Stress can bring our health down

faster than just about anything. I wil be praying for you and your

dad.

Hugs, Kathy

, Do you think he would try Natural Cellular Defense? . . . In the single study they did . . . something like 78% of Stage IV cancer patients went into remission over the period of one year. Here's a website about it . . http://www.newstarget.com/015232.html I've been taking it . . . I'll have to admit I'm doing it on faith, because it tastes almost like water . . and I take very little . . But, if this will keep cancer from reoccuring, I'm game! The woman who recommended it to me is a nurse who is using it to treat patients . . . She's seen outstanding results. I'd be happy to put you in touch with her. Hugs, Rogene

Oh thank you so much Kathy.

Yes, I was disappointed to have to rescheduled...even looked into

another doctor closer to home because of all the stuff going on.

But there is just this little part of me..that while I have not met

Dr. Kolb....just feels...that she has some instincts into the

implant situation. The other doctors I looked into simply wanted to

take them out.....and weren't really interested in the whole health

issue.

,

I'm sorry to hear about your father. I know what it's like to have a

parent that's terminally ill. I'm so sorry, I know that it is very

painful especially after they've given up hope.

Maybe I'll see you in July. My surgery is scheduled for July 12th.

Take care and I hope that everything works out for you.

Hugs,

Gigi

Rogene,

I really have no idea if he will or not. But I will certainly print

off the material and give it to him. Thank you so much for thinking

of him and of me. He has pretty much given up. I lost my mom in

2002...and she was truly my best friend. Dad had about 2 good years

before he started to get sick. He is 82 years old.

Not to ramble...but...watching my mom die was when the fragility of

life really hit home. Not that I did not know it prior to that.

Watching her die was when I saw the rest of my life in the palm of

my hand. The shortness of it(life) staggered me. I was 47 when she

died.

Sorry guys....didn't mean to get morbid on you!!!

Gigi,

If you are having your physical the day before your surgery...I

should be down there that day having my consult. My husband and I

plan on being there the day before. We are staying at the Residence

Inn. Where will you be staying??

I would love to connect with you .

I may try to call Kolbs office to see if I can get in earlier but

after June 27th. This waiting is driving me nuts!!.
