Hey Howfunky, When you first find out about the disease you go home and think your going to die. Its that much of a shocker. Please with all the respect I can come up with about your mother is to tell her to stop. From now on you will only talk and think about positive things, positive energy and you have to use that old wifes tale I think. "Laughter is the best medicine." Find someone you trust to talk to if you can't with your mom and that help plus we are here to listen. Someone gave me some of this advice and I will not tell you who she is. You will probable figure it out.
Three years for me so far.

Hey three eggs.

Hi Gin I have been feeling well so I have been on the move. lol

HEY SARA!

I am glad you are felling well ! You do deserve it!
I am cracking my depression with diet and exercise... and positive thoughts. Every time a negative thought enters my mind I push it out, I tell myself,"Nope, I won't bite on that hook." and I think of good things.
I have the garden planted and that is always a great thing!
I am soooo glad you are feeling good!

I'm sorry ya'll for not being around. I've got no good excuse. Lost in "stuff" we are still trying to deal with around here. My funk hasn't gotten 100% better, but like so many here, I'm still fighting! I've had 2 episodes of cardiac episodes. I have Autonomic Dysfunctional Syncope----big words for sometimes I stand up and then find myself on the floor. They don't know why it does it, it just does. I go see a neurological heart specialist in April. Hoping he can give us some ideas on how to anticipate when it's going to happen. Otherwise, I'm doing pretty good, last few CTs have shown no new tumors

Deerman, hang in there my friend, we are here for you!!! All my other buds, Keep Fighting!!

Fight, fight, fight. Are we allowed a day to just wallow in self pity, sleep all day and totally ignore the one we love that is ill? That sounds so incredibly selfish.

Tonight - after work. I came home, removed the scooter from the truck, ran to the gas station (mom filled us up), went to the grocery store, put out trash cans out, fed animals, made dinner, cleaned the kitchen, cleaned the butt on the Micro dog, picked up paper towel shavings all over the house, scooped the litter box, hollered at outside dogs, marveled at Welsh Harlequin ducks.

I just now ate something. And took a Benedryl. Happy times in 5, 4, 3,2.....

You are allowed your ONE day. You can scream, cry, throw things, (just not at others) do it all at the same time if you want. BUT from that day forward you no longer look at the negatives. Look for your blessings in the small things. There's not going to be a band of Angels with the big theatrics of lights of gold and the TADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Nah, it's going to be more like standing on your back step on a early spring evening hearing the "Spring Peeper" (little frogs that come out of hibernation in spring) singing their serenade. Not a SMACK to the head, "I'm a blessing pay attention", but the whisper in your ear of the "be thankful for the now" You learn to dance in the rain and laugh when you want to cry. Looking at all the negatives never gets you anywhere, but closer to the grave. To quote Shelby in Steele Magnolias "I would rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special."

Howl at the moon a few times when you get the chance..............................................it keeps the neighbors on their toes

well got the results from the bi-op of the tumor on my pancreas, was so glad to hear it is colon cancer.

i knew the cancer on liver and other areas was colon cancer. at least i am only fighting one type of cancer.

my fear was i would have to fight pancreas cancer at the same time.

Been off chemo for weeks , start back on them tomorrow am. Glad hard to fight this cancer without chemo.

Coyote is right enjoy all those small thing in life....like my sig. live like you are dying.....truth is we` all are ,...

 

[deerman]

Hey how funky`,I'm really happy we were able to belp you out if only just for a bit. My only other relative besides my daughter is my sister and she will not talk about it either. Well what I have secretly been getting done is three business off the ground.One for the old man and one for my sister so I feel ilke if things go wrong with me they will have a place to pick up and carryon and I hope finacally stable.They are both followers. My daughter is in colloge so she will be alright. I am a wrighter and I have been working on quite a few products that they can sell if hard time gets any worse from now. lol good luck right. Isn't it weird how you don't or at least I don't worry about myself only them.Does anyone else do this?
Prayers for you my fellow friends
S@R@

Sara, yes i don't worry about myself....and know i have to go some day. Like you i keep planning for my love ones after I'm gone. Plus spend a lot of time with them now. Like a friend of mine say. "Nobody getting out of this world alive" so i plan for when i'm gone...be it 1 or 20 years.

 

[redhen]

As usual, i have nothing "special" to say.. i just wanted you all to know that i am still and will always be thinking of you all..
