Guest guest Posted April 27, 1999 Report Share Posted April 27, 1999 This is off the usual topic, but I am defending my dissertation on May 5th. This is the final step in completing my Phd, other than making changes and submitting it to the thesis clerk. I still have a chapter and conclusion to write, and am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I also have finals to write, and about 70 papers to grade. Anyway, I could certainly use your positive thoughts in these next two weeks. Thanks in advance.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 1999 Report Share Posted April 27, 1999 Dianne, I will happily send you some good energy about your challenges. Try to stay relax, breathe and " in the flow " . You're obviously on top of as much as you can possibly be, the rest has to come on its own. I'll pray for that. Roxanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 1999 Report Share Posted April 27, 1999 Thanks for the kind words and thoughts. I have just spent so many hours in front of this computer. It has slowed activity level, and I've got swollen everything. Back to my aerobic tape! Anyway. I'm still struggling and I'll let you all know how things go. And boy would I love help grading. I read each paper personally and make comments. Takes time, but my students did take the time to write them. Somehow, this will all work out. I have a third biopsy scheduled at the end of the month when this is all over and hope to hear things are stable. So much ahead, it would be nice to have something behind me.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 1999 Report Share Posted April 29, 1999 Dianne, Forgive my delay in writing to the group. I am in the process of transferring jobs and moving. I do try to keep up with all the mail though----just no time to respond. I really needed to vent a few things today. I do keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers everyday. As I mentioned before the stress of the transfer and moving is difficult. Energy for once is not a factor (yet). I am just getting so frustrated with my mental status. At times I can't remember the most simple of tasks. I have recently joked with a friend that I have had to remind myself that the is spelled t-h-e. It isn't that bad, but I am forgetting for small periods how to spell certain things. Not that I was ever the greatest speller. I am grateful for spell check on here. As for the weight issue I am dealing with that more everyday. At 5'7'' when I hit 167 I almost lost it. But quickly regained myself and realized things could be much worse. Weight to me is just a number now. It by no means represents who I am or what I stand for. People can be cruel to a person the see as different than themselves, but ultimately we are all the same. As an example----each of us are from all over the world. We have different customs, beliefs, ideals. The common thread is we all hope that one day there will be a cure for our disease. Each of us has a family that loves us and wants to protect us. Although there are many differences---we are all the same. Sorry for going on a tangent, but I thought it may help someone to see another perspective.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 1999 Report Share Posted May 3, 1999 , Sorry for the long spaces in our conversations. My sister and her family came in this past weekend so I was with my family. WE celebrated my sisters birthday and had a lot of fun together. I have been doing well thanks for asking. I am trying to pace myself for my move. I hope this finds you well!!!!!!! Are the dogs still keeping you up?? Will look for you on line today and again thanks for your concern. I will need everyone's thoughts to get me through the next month or so with the job transfer and moving. My strength is holding out very well thankfully.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 1999 Report Share Posted May 5, 1999 , I am so sorry to hear you are having so many problems. I am like you though----when I feel the worst my levels are great. I may have spoken too soon about doing so well----I ended up going home yesterday with a high fever and terrible headache. I feel better today, but I rested the whole evening yesterday as well. Please let me know how the blood work turned out. Just because I may be quiet doesn't mean I am not reading or here to give support. Take care and I will keep you in my thoughts.
