Guest guest Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Hello All. Well spent 4 days with my sis she is so full of anxiety. She had the lymph node removed and won't find out the results until tues. CT scan results too we will find out about then she will get all marked up for the radiation/Chemo treatments.

Thank God for Ambien, My son and grandson and I are going to see Star Wars tonight. Get to do something different for change. Well taht is the scoop for this week-end.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Hope you enjoy StarWars. My son got to see it this morning. My brother took him while we were visiting mom near Chicago. So much construction that we took all the back roads to get there and back. Am totally exhausted from the drive. Guess I still am gaining my strength back.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Hi Donelle. The real work for her has yet to begin. I have been going to all her app'ts w/ her so far. And she has appreciated it. She buys all kinds of clothes for me ..She showers me w/ gifts and I have to tell her to stop. I think that is one way she is dealing w/ all this, well, not to mention it is my b-day Sat.! He!He! But one little sentiment is fine but she just goes all the way I tell ya she has a heart of gold really. she does not deserve this. But I will do my best to watch over my little sis. Can u tell i love her. We were not getting along for 4 months previous to her telling me of her dx. What a waste of time.that was but even though My hubby has his prostate cancer I am with my sis every chance I can. Actually there is not much I can do for my hubby but be here for him too. Lots on my plat as u well know . well u take care.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Wish we lived closer. Would love a kitten born on my birthday. Not sure what hubby would say about another cat right now. We have a total of nine cats with the barn and house cats. They are all fixed so no kittens. That makes my husband happy. We have enough vet bills as it is with all these critters.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 At 6 weeks they should be eating on their own (special kitten diet) and can be separated from the mom, 8 weeks tops.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Hi Lori, my sister took care of me too for a long time then she had a heart attack and a 3-way bypass so there were 2 of us needing care. So remember to take care of the care-taker (you) too. We had to hire help and my DH did a lot.
