please help

Lisa, you and your dad are in my thoughts and prayers. Gentle hugs to you and I'm so very sorry that things are so horrible for you at the moment. xoxoxo

Thinking of you all... and keeping everyone in my prayers, daily.

Hugs,

Wren

Lisa, you've had more than your share of ups and downs for a while. I'm praying for a patch of smooth sailing. You've earned it. Clouds of caring surround you. (and your dad)

Nettie, your path is not only bumpy but laden with razor blades! I hope the careful prep and barium study do the trick. Are you certain you are up for company? Make Devin take care of you this time. I'm so glad Whisper is adapting. He's a miracle cat for sure.

Jane, have you finished with the house remodel? You haven't mentioned it in a while, or perhaps I ignored it...lol

Wren, thanks for checking in.

Just got of Skype with my dil Mei. She and grandson Connor are supposed to arrive Friday from China. Mei has pneumonia and looks horrible. Her fever broke partially today, so she thinks she'll be well enough to travel by Friday. I told her she's nuts. Well, in kinder words than that.... We'll see what happens. 

Please be well! 

Judie

HI everyone!

Well. my cousin's son (and Marie - big respect) had Wee Amy Ellen this morning - and Kez (my wee niece) had Li;ly Rose, at home, attended by her mum a couple of hours later!!! 2 new wee members of the family within 12 hours(ish) Beside myself. Can't wait to see them!

Nettie xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Welcome to the world, Amy Ellen and Lily Rose! Wonderful names. Congrats to all involved. How refreshing to celebrate new life! How lucky they are to have Auntie Nettie in their lives.

Glad to see you Shirlann. Sorry to hear about Walt's hospitilizations. hope is is doing fine.

Nettie, Two babies in 12 hours! what a way to grow the family.

Lisa, we will be here to help you with whatever you need.

My DH gave me a scare this past Monday night, although I didn't know about it until Tuesday morning. Long story, short version, he was changing trucks about midnight, collapased with low blood sugar and found about 90 minutes later on the ground between the trucks. He had eaten a pack of cheese crackers about 6 and planned on eating supper after he changed trucks and was going to drive overnight. He is under doctors orders to check his blood sugar level twice a day, record it on a log and fax the log to her every two weeks. At Christmas I had given him a Trucker's Guardian Angel to hang in his truck and he had it hanging on the pocket of his bib-overhalls when he collapsed.

Sheila

Shirlann, I'm putting your DH on my hit list too...very scary all around!

Sheila!! What a scare. He definately had a guardian angel with him.

Shirlann!!! So goooood to see you! I will keep our Walt in my prayers.  Miss you!

Nettie...2 new babies! I would be in heaven. I LOVE LOVE LOVE babies!! Very special..enjoy..and I love their names.

I had a long talk with Tom on the phone last night. He called. The conversation was good, and he does have some things to work through, and hopes I will be patient. I am very relieved to hear that he just doesn't want me in his life anymore. We are still going to take a long walk on Saturday. He said, he really would rather talk about everything in person.  He is such a great man, and I know he has been very hurt, and is going to be guarded. I just have to be patient and reassure him that I will NEVER hurt him.  (his wife had an affair and then left him and married the guy) Sat. night, we both attended a wedding on his ex's side (a niece who is his goddaughter) and the ex was there with her husband.  I know it's hard for him.  They were married for 24 yrs. I think his ex is very selfish, and plays games with him.  She was not happy to see him with me.  "Sorry sweetie..you can't have both!".  I can tell by things she has done, and the way she acts...she is the type that thinks...I don't want you...but I still want you to want me!! 

He deserves better....and I will be here to give him all that and more.

Thanks for listening sisters.....I am feeling a bit more happy today.

Love to all! 

Cathi....check in....I am worried about our baby Ella.  Hope you are doing ok too.

xoxo

Thanks jane and everyone else, he did scare everyone, including the people at the main facility. And he is consistantly checking his blood sugar, not just when the doctor ordered him to. Yesterday, he got the word and last evening he was trading his old truck (07 volvo) in for a 2011 peterbuilt. They had said he would get a new truck before the end of May, but he thought that they were trying to butter him up because they had been pushing him hard the past 3 months. As he was moving his personal items from one truck to the other, several people came by to offer assistance in the move. He was at the main facility and it is more active through the night than the facility where he collapsed.

I ended up and had to buy a new washer yesterday. My washer was about 10 yrs old, I had replaced a bushing 2 times ($75 each time) but this time the motor seized up on it and to replace the motor was going to cost about $200 excluding the labor/service call. I thought it was time I got a new washer. I also have 4 ceiling fans sitting next to the washer waiting for my contractor friend to take down my old ones (that quit last year) and put them up before it gets too hot this summer. With a house, if it isn't one thing it is 10 other things.

Sheila

Sheila....I understand exactly what you mean about houses, and things needed.  My house is in need of several different maintenances!  Time...it takes time and money!  Enjoy your new washer.

Cathi...so happy to hear everyone is feeling better at your house. I am praying for clear PET scans for you.  DO NOT WORRY......remember Worry is for SHIT!!! Love ya Cathi.  Thanks so much for the kind words...and uplifting!  I value our friendship as well.  I really would love to fly down and spend at least a day with you! Wouldn't that be fun?!  Well...you spoke words of wisdom.  I let Tom "go" so to speak...and he is already on his way back. He did just need some time..and is so fearful of getting hurt. We were together for 10 hrs yesterday. We talked more, cryed and mostly laughed.  Things are good again.  We will continue to take things slow...I am more than willing to give him the time he needs...because he is so VERY WORTH IT TO ME!  Such a good, good man!  I absolutely adore his heart!  You were right a long time ago Cathi...telling me there was someone out there...and you were right.  Now...just let it develope, like I know it will.

Jane...I wish your hubby would get more free time, to spend working on the house...and with YOU!! xoxo

Even though it's cold here in Ohio....I feel very springy today!!

Hiya classy lassies

Judie, will pm you later.

Just to let you all know, Dev is a wee gem. He is on his way to Inverness, which is the capital of the Highlands, some stunning scenery up there and, of course, the home of the River Ness and Loch Ness. Home Nessie makes an appearance for him. We has a blast in Glasgow.

Lisa, so glad things are looking up for you. You have been messed around QUITE enough!!!!

Cathi, everything crossable is crossed for you scan results. Like your techie says, they would have indicated if anything serious presented itself. But it's awful hard to reassure yourself. Great that everyone's health is improving. Good weather helps too. Good luck with the flashes. I have managed to escape that in the main (just about the one bloody thingI have!)

Gilrs, I havent been down to England yet to see Lily Rose (got lots of photos sent up, but saw wee Amy Ellen yesterday. What a wee doll - she has got a massive head of jet black hair and dads upturned nose. Soon as I work out out get pics in will post. All babies are beautiful, but she really is a doll, I think it's the hair that does it - so cute. and she smells devine. Cathi, she also has a deformity in her ear, poss some hearing difficulty too. Got hosp on Wed for scan (barium enema) Which means I won't see Devin before he heads back down south unfortunatly, then Herceptrin on Monday, so will be going down to Blackpool on Tuesday for a few days to see the family and wee Lily. I literally cannie wait! I still think of my wee Kez as 10, she still looks VERY young - she is only 20. She had the baby at home, not planned. She had contractions, rushed to hosp. They stopped and she decided to come home. She was in the bath and they started up again and 2 hours later, Lily was in the world! Diane (her mum) delivered her, so not planned, bu perfect. Poor wee lass needed a lot of stiches though! 

Big Whisper is doing absolutly great!!!!! He somtimes forgets he is minus a leg and land on where it used to be and hisses at himself, but aside from that he is in great form and enjoying himself, getting up to as much mischief as a big lazy cat can get up to. We've weathered a lot, my big cat and I, and came though

Well, waiting for the decorator to show up - house needs painted. He was supposed to start on Sat, but I was in town with Devin, yesterday was seeing Amy and sleeping!! I lost all my plants in the hard winter, so going to do a little light gardening, bulb planting, bit of weeding. When my neighbours kids come in from school, the will help me clear the big planters and put in a few plugs.

It's a lovely day here! putting on High sun protection then into the garden! Let the guy get on with prep for painting.

Oh Judie, Frazier is on the tele ( it's a double bill every weekday morning) It's one of my fav programs of all time. This episode is the one where Frazier let slip to Daphne that Miles is in love with her. CLASSIC!!

Godbless to you all, and take care.

Nettie xx 

Nancy hopefully you will find the right center for your aunt to rehab in.

Got a call from my mother last night, my uncle isn't doing well. His wife called Hospice in yesterday. A couple of weeks ago his doctors took a biopsy of the pancreas tumor to try different chemos on it and nothing was working (I think targeted treatment). He has been on several trials and has been stable but lately the chemo has stopped working. He has survived just over 2 yrs with the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, although he knew something wasn't right several months before the dx. If anything happens I won't be able to go up. We wanted to see him when we went up in Feb but the weather prevented us from getting to his apt.
