My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer

Jens got this congrats.

Gum doctor that’s very encouraging news you got. Love angel doctor.

Grannax your decorating and newly upholstered chairs are wonderful.

Tanya

thank you Runor! As least she knows she’s cared for. Thank you for letting us know. Worrying is never fun. But glad to see she’s doing better than before. Please let her know. To take care of herself ! Most important thing we can do.

Chilly morning has arrived brrrrrr

Moomala, I hope your granddaughter is feeling better. My 27 year old son had the same thing... his fever went up to 104 which is very high for an adult. Doctor said viral and has to run its course. Very scary for this mom to see him so sick. His fiancée took very good care of him. He missed a whole week of work, he’s a teacher so maybe he picked it up from one of his students

Moomala,

Yup, waiting is hard. But I am not going to stop living and enjoying my new life in FL. Have been doing a bit of decorating, painting (DH does that part), and fixing things in our new place. It’s kind of fun. Grannax was my inspiration! It helps to keep my mind off of what’s next. I don’t want to lose my hair again, but will go with it if needed

I hope you are doing well. I know we are both wanting to get to stable, and I’m praying you get there with me!

just popping in to say I love you all and I am so grateful for this community!!!

i feel like I’m still reeling a bit from the shots on Monday. Head in a vice of fog like not connected to my body and slight nausea here and there kinda thing.

I have a “date” tonight with someone that I’ve been romantically involved with in the past. He doesn’t know about my health status. He’s very smart and intuitive. I am a little nervous! Break out the red wine!!!

So exciting, Philly!! I hope you have a great time on your date. I also hope your head clears. I detest feeling foggy, no fun at all. I had CT dye and MRI contrast last Wednesday and it's taken until today for me to feel "normal" again. Just in time for my Lupron injection this afternoon. Yuck!

Waving back at ya Mel. I just starting watching Orange is the new black a few months ago. Have you finished season 7 yet? It's so good, can't believe I waited so long to watch it.

I hope everyone is having as good a day as possible.

Hugs to all

Moomala,

I think it might be time for you and hubby to have a weekend away. There are so many places right in our own backyard, and I am a firm believer in supporting local anything! I do relate to the old marriage blues. I get flowers from time to time, but that's about as creative as my poor man can do. I've found that telling hubby what I want is much faster and easier than making him guess. Or I just make sure he doesn't have any plans, and then schedule something myself. I have always been an adventurer....love to explore new places. You deserve to have some of those dreams come true!

Hi Candy,

I'll post some pics when it's done. A lady came today and picked up a bunch of living room side tables, a bench, and some chairs. She is going to paint them white for me (with a gray top). Cheaper to paint than to buy new ones....and so much of my stuff is dark. I'm trying for coastal chic, but we'll see how it turns out!

Waving hi to my girl Mel. Hope you have a great weekend with your DH!

Grannax~Add it to your favorites. The mods changed categories for us since we had multi stage posters. I have no idea why you can’t find us.

I’m glad you care enough to look for us though... seems we lost Divine. Hmmmm that’s sad.

Yndorian~ I can barely play the radio no less an instrument! You go girl. What a warm thought of you and your mother together listening while you play for her ! Good morning ladies My great niece was just released from state prison a week ago. I saw her yesterday it had been 13 years since I’ve see her . Drugs saw to it she got a 3 year sentence. Model prisoners get out early. It’s so sad she was so jumpy and fidgety. It was so sad to see a wasted amount of time because of drugs. Drugs are as evil as cancer ladies. Addictions are brutal! It’s so sad. Such a beautiful child. Drugs made her hard. Bad choices Bad company bad results. Hope to god this time she can do it. It’s a hard thing.

Have a beautiful day lovelies

Mel,

You are SO right about drugs. Even I got dependent on the opioids I was prescribed, and it was hell getting off of them. But I am so glad I did. If I have pain now, I take Aleve or Ibuprofen. I am actually glad I can feel pain now....it helps me to know what’s happening with my body

But what you are describing is so devastating to a family. I have a very good friend whose son is addicted to Heroin. He said he’s tried everything to help him....but he just can’t kick it. My heart goes out to you and anyone else who has to deal with this issue. I will pray that your niece can stay clean.

runor and Mel Could one of us start a thread for Mariannelizabeth? That way she would only need to post one one thread instead of several. Let me know what you think.

I will put in favorites but I still don’t understand why it doesn’t show up in topics. Oh, I can find it all right, no problem. This time I clicked on Tanya. I know where my friends hang out. Lol

I'm so sorry for those of us who deal with addicted family members. Espcecially opiod addiction. I have firsthand experience with this and I cn tell you it has been a life of hell for my entire family. Addiction has tentacles that reach out into the family in all sorts of of awful ways. I am a regular at Alanon meetings. I swear by the help I got there. She is in recovery now but she is an extremely sensitive person with very little personal power or resources and recovery is going to be a very difficult road for her. Today she is leaning on me heavily. Very heavily. It is draining and sad. And fear of losing that person to an overdose is lurking at all times. You'd never know. She is a sharp, well-dressed career oriented individual who excels at her career and falls apart at home. BooBoo1, the police told me once to please listen to their experience to understand how hard opioids get hold of an individual. They gently talked me through a couple of their cases that were strikingly like my family's. It really did help. But the fear and grief/loss about it makes you want to scream all the time. I feel very badly for your friend and the son.

My father was alcoholic too yndorian. It was so hard growing up in that house. But I do see him as a sensitive person who found himself under a great heavy load of pressure he didn't want. He was too responsible to walk away. So he drank.

Grannax~ maybe we should ask Marianneelizabeth if she would be comfortable about that. I don’t want to invade her privacy, if that is what she needs for herself. Runor, you could ask her. Grannax, anyone could ask her then we can make That happen For sure
