Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Can't remeber if I have emailed or not, but, I am back home, but, not for long. I was going to go to my meeting tonight but did not get to go for my daughter needed me to babysit my granddaughters. They are such a joy and really keep me going. I don't believe I have gained very much even though I have not been to TOPS for several weeks now. I have not overate, but, while in Missouri I did eat a lot of home cooked meals, mostly mine!! There is no fast food or restraunt eating a lot there. My brother lives way out in the boondocks and needless to say can not afford to eat out anyways. I have did a lot of walking while there because I had to go off by myself and do my worring and crying out of his sight. The walking was good for me I am sure, and I guess the crying was also good for me. It helped me release tension and worry and sometimes killed my desire to even want to eat. I have kept really busy. I rearranged my sister in law's house, washed the outside of the house, (it has that Sear's siding), and cleaned thier carport off, and cleaned out the chicken coop! (YUCK) So I have kept busy and hopefully burned off some calories when I did eat that homecooked meals. My brother is having the surgery. He will have his lung taken out on the 30th. The doctor told him it was a major and very high risk sugery with his health condition. It is his only chance to try and get the cancer out so Eddie said he wanted to do it. I am so afraid for him. Its out of my hands though so all I can do is pray and ask all of you who pray to do the same for him if you would. Also my husband may have to have surgery on his knee, plus he has a tumor on his back. He is going tommorrow for 2 MRI's . One for his back and the other for his knee. It seems like if it weren't for bad luck I would not have any luck at all lately. I guess the one thing I can be thankful for is the fact that I do not turn to food when I am upset, actually it has the opposite effect on me. I lose my appetitie when I am worried or depressed or upset. I am not an emotional eater except when I am bored or happy. I hope you all ahve a great weekend and all of you who would please keep my brother, Eddie Jaco, and my husband, taylor in your prayers and thoughts. Love pepper Get ready for school!

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Thank you Tonya I need all the words of encouragement I can get right now. I know lots of people who have had part or all of one lung removed also,but, they seemed to be in pretty fair health other than the cancer at the time. The real worry here is not only the caner but he is on a breathing treatment machine 4 times a day, plus, he has a very weak heart and has a pace maker and on 2 different types of medication for his heart. Thats why there is so much worry and risk with the removal of the lung, BUT, I am going to keep a positive attitude and keep the prayers going strong. Another thing that worries me is the fact he has never really gotten over losing his son last October and at times I feel like he just wants to give up on life. Wanting to live goes a long ways in a situtuation like this. Sometimes it seems he just does not care and he has even mentioned that if the surgery does not work for me not to feel bad because he will be with Jeffery again. (his son) I am glad your ex father in law did so well. I hope he continues to do well and recovers fully. thank you so much for the encouragement. Thats what is so great about being on the loop there are always words of support and comfort here. It helps a lot. Love to you and my TOPS pals here.
