Guest guest Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Well said...I've also given shots to friends and family (diabetic on my Mom, fertility shotson a girlfriend to be exact), so you do not have to be a nurse to do it--practicing on a grapefruit is a great way to learn. Cancer makes one stress out--we all realize that, don't we? Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Yup after reading my post this morning I was like WOW where did all that anger come from? Trust me it has more to do with my own stress and faith struggle. Some days it takes every ounce of faith and hope you can muster to get through this. I didn't mean too blow up on all of you in general and Sara(???) in particular. One thing I truly appreciate about this board is it's lack of judgment. The words I wrote last night are how I feel on my worst days when the cancer gets the better of me and I need one of those CANCER STINKS T-shirts! Most of the time I am much more upbeat and while I know full well that the dreaded day may come I know just as well that that day may not be here for a long time and worry not we haven't given up. We intend to fight. But as everyone has said so much better than I this is the place to cry cheer and stamp our feet like a two year old when we need to and know that all will understand Sorry for my harsh words please forgive me Narice Thanks for your kind thoughts Narice the nut <giggle> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 And , also well said. Jolene Re: Bye for now Relax, don't go anywhere, you did nothing at all wrong to suggest that someone investigate whether a nurse from a church might be available to give the injections. That's a valid option, and I'm sure your intent was to propose a local church as an example of an organization where a nurse might be found. You don't need to apologize to anyone for that proposal. I'm not a Christian, but rather an Orthodox Jew. I think there is entirely too much effort being made to stifle religious expression. My feeling is that we all should be free to practice our religions or not, and at the same time not impose our views on others. I think its valid on a cancer support board to have some posts that involve religion or religious institutions as a support option, at least to a reasonable degree. So, why not check with a church, a synagogue, also a PTO, or any other local organizations with which you may have some affiliation? Years back, I had to give my wife injections for a few months. A nurse at her doctor's gave me lessons on a grapefruit, and it was easy. That would be my recommendation, get 10 minutes of training from a medical professional. > > Obviously some of you find me offensive so I'll take a break for now > > God's how I stay sane in the midst of this damned disease but if that offends > everyone well so be it.
