Erin

Just know that there are people who are thinking about you and praying for strength for you each and every day. Imagine in your mind's eye, all the people (your family, friends and BYC folks) who have linked arms and are surrounding you and protecting you from the bad stuff. We will be there every day until you beat this!! Even if you can't see us in the doctors office, we are there!!!!

Love
Cindy

Hummm... when I read the surgeon's report to you, I thought,"Good thing they got right on that and got it out!
In a way, you are fortunate. But still... I am sorry you have to go through what Luna had to. Keep on this thread. We are here to encourage you and keep your spirits up.

Thank You.
Feeling poorly today. My pain is MUCH worse. I wonder if it's really pain, or if it's just my body responding to the news.

ETA: my dog, Jojo has been laying on the bed next to me all day and refused breakfast. She wouldn't eat breakfast yesterday, either, and was unusually upset when I left for the doctor and didn't take her with us. She's not a service dog per say, but she is very attached to me and does things for me to make life easier- picks up things for me that I've dropped on the floor, pulls me up hills while on a walk, etc. I think she knows something else is up.

They do. I had a kitty that detected precancerous cells in a mole on the back of my leg. Wouldn't leave the spot alone until I had it removed. My dog Spook sat with me many a day when I was dealing with the effects of chemo. She would lick my forehead and neck, run off to her water bowl, get a drink and come back with a cool wet tongue to start all over again while I harked my guts out. Spook was my Service Dog so she saw everything from chemo to surgery to emergency room visits because I became septic after a port flush.

Jojo is picking up on your pain, physical and emotional. She'll be fine and so will you!!

Worn out today. Stayed at Relay for Life until about 1:30 this morning. Planned on staying all night but it was a bit too cold and damp for me. The quilt had to be hung up when I got home because it had collected so much moisture from the air. It was a great night though. Met lots of new people who fell in love with Katie who was on her best behavior for once, lol. She just loves people and wants nothing but to have her belly rubbed by them. Raised $385 for Relay. Even after picking some impartial people to pull the ticket, my nephew Jim won the quilt.

Hope everyone is well. I'm going to take a nap!

Sleep and rest all weekend, Coyote, you deserve it! I'm glad the quilt will stay nearby and in the family!

Goodnight!

it sounds like the relay was successful. If I didn't argue so badly with my machine, I'd do a patch for next year. It hates me. I hate it. we have an understanding. It takes up valuable counter space safe and unused, and it won't hurt me.

for Katie. What a great girl. she went home and told Icee all about it, and now Icee is planning on getting her courage & spirit together so she can go next year.

I love good dogs. they are better people than some people I know.
We are thinking about renaming this new one 'sandy'.

but, she's worth the dirt. I may never have a grass yard again. the youngins play hard. It is a joy to watch.
