Norm. I just wanted you to know that even tho the thread has been quiet for a while -- I know that all of us are still keeping you in our hearts.

With the air a little more brisk, I will occaisionally in the middle of the day think of you to my north and realize that you are already closer to the season's changing.

The year continues to march on, by collecting one day after another, in a little rag-tag string of moments.

May you gain strength and energy as you contemplate all that goes thru your head and into your heart.

Norm, you have survived summer..... when there were undoubetly times that you didn't think you could. You did! One little hour at a time.

What questions are you asking these days?

OH JOY, I am soooo sorry to hear this tragic news about your MIL.  Once your treatment is over and you get your strength back, you'll go be with her as she was with you.  I just hate that so many of us are being dx with cancer -breast, ovarian, or whatever kind it is, it just seems that more and more people are hearing those dreaded words - I'm sorry to say, you've got cancer. (((((HUGS))))

Faith, hope things are going well for you with your teaching of teachers, and that your grandchildren are well and happy.

Puppy, Norm, Suz, and Deb - Thinking of you and wishing you all a gentle breeze to blow away any troubles or worries you might be experiencing, and a whole big bright bunch of Sunflowers to brighten your day.

I’ve been busy with life. Grading papers, entering grades, doing lesson planning, going to meetings, and walking daily.  I’m finally caught up after jury duty, so next week, I can return to yoga after school on Monday and try Cardio Sculpt on Tuesday. I’m hitting some balls on Wednesday, going to the weight room Thursday, and having my weekly massage Friday. Of course, I’ll walk everyday during my prep period except Tuesday, which is a planning day with my student teacher.  I’m down to 149. My weight last weekend was a flukeas it went up to 151.5 the next day. I’ve lost six pounds so far, 9 to go.

Scary news. My twinsis’ breast MRI showed a nodule in the right breast. She has a biopsy on Tuesday. I plan to go with her, so I’ll miss 5th and 6th period.  I told her that nodule is good, meaning small and most likely encapsulated. It could be a cyst or calcification and not to jump to any conclusions as I’d already taken the cancer bullet for the twins. So, fingers and toes crossed gang.

All caught up.  Again, I hate not being able to check in daily like I used to do, but at least I can do so once a week.

Hope all our Angel Watchers are having a great Sunday.

Love to all, SIS Kimberly


 

Hugs for you norm and for all of our angel-watchers...................................

Thank you for your kind words and support over the news of my twinsis.  Thankfully, the tumor is only 7mm, so it's small. The breast MRI I encouraged her to ask for instead of a mammogram considering our family history, saved her a year of waiting to find it.  The mammo they did do, right before the biopsy showed nothing. Had she had the mammo first, her doctor would have given her the all clear, and she would have known nothing for another year, maybe longer.  So, that's a blessing.  She's working things out so she can have my surgeons, too. I just hate that she has to go through this, but she's got a good 'role model' so to speak in me.

I bought a Wii Fit.  It is so cool.  I bowled. I played golf.  I can do yoga, aerobics, strength training, and balancing exercises and so much more.  It’s very user friendly and gets others involved, too.  The whole family bowled yesterday. It gets people up off their behinds and doing more than just playing video games.

I’ve got company coming this week ( a college friend) and Greg is gone this week, so I’m the entertainment goddess for the week.  We’ll have dinner tomorrow with twinsis, oldersis, and ds and his gf.  Then the rest of the week, I’m cooking, I guess.

Debbie, how cool is that...being in the newspaper.  More details, please.

Take care my Angelwatcher friends,
SIS Kimberly

Joy, Suzy, Puppy and Footie: thinking of each of you

 I look to the heaven and what do I see, Angels watching over me. They are helping my threw each trial I have. And care for my tears when I am sad, They are there when I rejoice and lift up my voice. God give us each angels, To walk with each day and some of the angels are online to stay.   God bless all of you, Debbie

     Acts of Love..... Giving and Receiving

Most of us  are much more comfortable giving assistance then we are receiving it.  Giving implies being in charge and having some control, While receiving assistance imlpies loss of control and can be most difficult to accept. You may find yourself on both sides of the equation at different times in the course of being a cancer patient.  Focusing on the needs and concerns of someone else can be very heathful for you and the other person. Support and affrimation can give a person the courage to deal with adversity. Charity  and altruism is helping others through donation of your time and is not only spiritually rewarding but also, pleasurable.

Hi Everyone, Blessings to us all.I had a lumpectomy in 7/08 then last month found anther "lump" right beneath the lymph node biopsy sight.I have been getting IV Vit C treaments for 2 weeks. It has not gone down, but not gotten bigger.Naturopathic doc says its a lymphnode for sure, but not so sure why it hurts to the touch. Surgeon agrees its a lymph node as well, but naturally wants to take it out.She has also offered me the option to have a biopsy on Thursday. I just can't for the life of me put a screaming lymph node under the neddle so to speak.I believe the initial biopsy may be the cause of this and it makes no sense for me to go and go that to my body again.I just can't believe cancer grew back that fast in 2 months. I am hoping that the lymphnode is simply pissed off because it lost two of its colleagues.Looking for suggestions advise prayers and thoughts.Thanks 

norm: prayers for you today. always wishing there was something that i could "do" for you.

know that i'm sending you encouragement -- for whatever you need
