Thanks The worst part for me is I hate to bother others for help I am too independant. It is my purpose to help others not to have to ask for help!
CR: Others will not be "bothered". They will be happy to help, just like you enjoyed helping them. This was a lesson God taught me three years ago. I hated to ask for help, I was the helper, always independent. Then I had a brain tumor, and brain surgery. I was totally helpless. And people came out of the woodwork to help. It made them feel good to be able to help. When you refuse help, you deny them the opportunity to do something that makes them feel good. Really. So don't be stubborn. Ask for help. If I lived close to you, I would be happy to help. Actually, I don't even know where Ethel is, lol. I was thinking you are on the other side of the mountains, but now I will have to go look.
Okay, there seems to be an Ethel in Lewis County and one in Benton County. Which one are you in? Lewis County is fairly close, but Benton is many hours away. Where are ya, Rustler?
BTW, loved that pic this morning! Looks like you were having a ball!
Brain cancer, brrrrr... I feel as if it's the new plague, although I know it's mostly that there are new methods of detection and treatment and it's more often diagnosed "early" than it used to be. We lost my cousin's beautiful strawberry-blonde stepdaughter to dendritic glioblastoma three years ago, seven years after her original diagnosis; I got home from her memorial service to an email announcing that my closest Olympia female friend had the same diagnosis. She has had surgery and a bioengineered treatment newly approved for clinical trials since her diagnosis, and is doing very well indeed.
I had a questionable mammogram once, but it turned out to be an artefact of the machine: scary darned week before I could get rescanned, especially since my mother and sister were both in bad health (Mom had a TIA right after my sister miscarried: bad couple of weeks all around) and I was without close-by support. Both of Dad's sisters have had BC, both of the encapsulated kind, both older than 75; one of my mom's sisters and one of her daughters, the eldest of my multiple cousins has had agressive BC, or rather melanoma of the breast tissue, but none other of the twenty female cousins on that side; liver cancer related to ag chemical exposure and primary idiopathic bone cancer, yes, one case each in the 38 cousins of both sexes. None of the female cousins on Dad's side are over sixty (my cousin and I will reach that age next spring) but all of us are over forty and getting regular mammograms.
Outside of the merely biological family, though, we've had the average impact from breast cancer, from one of mom's sister-in-law who has two surgeries and a couple additional rounds of radiation in the late 70s and then lived to be ninety, smoking like a chimney all along, to my sister's MIL who had the most modern treatment in the 'oughts and died within four years of initial diagnosis. We wait for the next call, as always, as everyone, it hits us all.
Nobody lives forever, all we can do is be helpful and kind and take joy from each other as it is given. Trouble inevitably comes: no need to make it out of small offenses.

We, too, have been hit lately. The same week we found out about me, DH's aunt was diagnosed with leukemia. A lady that we go to church with had her sister diagnosed with it the week before that. Another lady we know well was diagnosed 4 mths ago. They all have the kind you die with rather than die from but still... it sure seems rampant.
I don't feel worthy to be counted with those who have had to fight. I don't feel like I'm fighting. Maybe when we get to the radiation point it will seem different but right now I feel normal.

Your name is tricky, no doubt: it has phonemes which do not exist in my brand of English, and no matter how hard I try I can't hear the difference between what I say and what you say- it's like the cot/caught dialect marker, only more annoying.
LOL, Dierdre is easier to say than phonemes!
Strangely enough, "phonemes" is pronounced phonetically.

Yeah, pain is all the problem anyone needs. DH is still on prescribed opiodes; he had nerve pain which was one of the presenting symptoms for the surgery, and which was not "entirely resolved" to say the least. He also has health insurance, and even with it costing about 30% more over-all in the past two years, it's saved our butts on prescription drugs, PT, and lab work.
See if one of your helpful people can help you by building/loaning you a slant board. I was trying to think of the other things we do to ameliorate my husbands back pain but a lot of them need that there's a healthy spouse for caretaking (ie I can no longer do any of the major massage tricks I used to do to help him, and I don't know if your wife can help you by using capsacin as a accupressure point counterstimulant, either).
Backs are evidence that human beings need to live in groups.

Yeah, Dad had leukaemia when he died of heart disease and complications of diabetes. We know how he got it: he was using pentachoraphenol without proper care, wearing the clothing soaked in penta for a couple of days in a row, hey it looked like water, how could it hurt? It didn't make him live any longer, to say the least, but it didn't hasten his death by more than a couple months (he outlived both his parents by a substantial margin).

I'm heading up to CR's tomorrow if anybody from the south end wants to go with...I don't have much of time to spend up there unfortunately because I have to get back for work, but I'm leaving the Oregon City area at about 10 am.......
So I'll be headed to Bremerton this Friday, anyone got any cheap laying hens/pullets or cheap/free roosters they want to get rid of nearby?
I'm looking for some laying hens to actually eat the eggs of (all the eggs here are either sold or hatched now) and my puppies could do with some free/cheap food.
I decided to let mom come and visit me tomorrow for my birthday and she will stay till friday when we both leave to head home for the weekend.
i was very undecided on if i should have her come here cos i will be a little busy... but at the same time... it would be nice to not be alone on my birthday.
my friend turns 21 tomorrow so she will be busy with her 21 run tomorrow... or is it tonight. i plan to contribute to the cause some.
I never did a 21 run last year when i turned... i was already sick.
I am glad i am too young to worry about mammograms... then again the lady at home that does those and paps and other hormone treatments... she has a new machine. thermal imaging so its non invasive and can detect changes better. its like $200 if i remember. google Lynn Chadd if you want to.
I had a scare 2 years ago cos the dr. thought i might of had cervical cancer forming. longish story. if one wants to know pm.
otherwise my biggest worry right now is just passing these classes...
I have a lab report to start. that is due at2pm....
I did get my internship poster approved so now i am done with my internship credits. one hurdle for graduating done.
Taking one day at a time... oddly its a clear + some clouds sky day but the weather says 20% chance of snow.
