please help

Hey Sue! I did it! Yeah.I love your kittys. Zippy is soooo cute. As soon as I get my film developed , I will put up a pic of lilly. So , its back to the grind tomorrow... Please don't over do it. I know , its hard not to. I hope your not getting sick. Well , your probably in bed by now.Sweet dreams Sweet Sue. Hugs and prayers to you for a good day tomorrow.xx

Shirlann , love the pics! You are goregous. I remember the pic of you when I first came here. It was you and a monkey. It was the cutest thing ever! You are a beautiful looking family. I love whipets. They are so sleek looking. I miss having a dog too. I once had an ahfgan hound I dearly loved. He was so handsome. He was all black. With the greatest personality ever. I named him Sir Belvedere of Havisham(msp) (from the movie great expectations). Dogs are such great companions. Cats on the other hand , well they deffinately have their own personality.

Karen , sorry to hear your hair is leaving. I hated that part most of all.I bought a wig , but only wore it three times. I was a scarf person. Until about two weeks ago. I have hair. Its very , very short , but I gotta be me! , and I was just done with the scarves. Good luck with the chemo. Yes , post pics of your puppies. Join our "pooch and kitty parade"!

Poppy , your son and doggie are to cute! NOW , I want one of those dogs! I guess I better just settle with lilly , she is more than I can handle.lol

Happy Halloween everyone!

Sue, Zippy is almost identical to my cat (recently deceased)! He used to lie on his back in the sun and look so languid and happy. He would slowly twist and turn and roll - like a swimmer in water - SO graceful. Zippy is gorgeous and Jason looks sweet too - I love tabby/white cats. 

Hope you had a good day at work and didn't overdo things and get too tired. Will look forward to your next post.

hugs,

Hey Sweet Sue, imagine, you back at work!  What a gal,  WOW, you are so strong.  I worked, but, and this is a big but, I sat down.  HUGE difference.

We have lots of Subway's here in San Diego, and the gals work their tails off.  So to be back at work is just wonderful.  You are quite the gal, our English Rose.

I LOVED the pix of your furbabies!  And Honeygirl's too.  I can't do a thing without Fumi, our resident computer genius.  She is something.

Well, now it is time for you, Sweet Sue, to begin to relax and hug your kitties.  Cuddle in something soft and have a cuppa!

You are loved and cherished, dear Sue, so have a lovely sleep.

Hardest part is over.

Oh, don't get impatient, the anti-deps are very subtle and slow.  No big reaction at all, you will just begin to hum.  Remember that.

Love you, sweetie, Shirlann 

Sorry I must have been writing my message whilst you were writing! LOL

Ah yes, Sweet Sue, my Dusty is mad at me, I just got back from lunch with my old boss and I only brought him 2 tiny pieces of chicken!  NOT ENOUGH!

You sound so much better.  I am so glad, whew!  I think you are past the really bad part.  Now, chemo, here we go again, but you can do this.  Some of our gals work, how, I don't know, but they do.  Sounds like your boss loves you so much (just like us) that you can work about any time you want.  So that is good.

Anyway, little one, curl up with the kitties, and sleep.  I will now quote Shakespeare:  "Sleep, oh sleep, where is thy blessed morpheus......".   Ah, that is the one.

Love you, sweetie, Shirlann

Sue, you are sounding better - maybe the meds are starting to gradually work but I suspect it is your inner strength, keeping you going in spite of still feeling down. The meds will marry well with this strength and you will feel much more impervious to fear and worry.

Hold those kitties close and hear their soothing purrs while you sip your tea. 

hugs,

Hi Sue! Go Sue , go Sue , go Sue , back to work , good for you. Now , you're goin' to bed. You do need to get lots of rest. Work helps you get back into a more normal swing of things. That helped me mentally.

Awww , poor Zippy , he was use to you being home with him. I know ,  tomorrow on tunaday , bring him home some. He'll be so happy  , he'll be grinin' like the cat in Alice in wonderland!lol My OH picks up heart healthy salads every Tues. from Subway. I love them. Plus I don't have to cook on Tues.! Well , its not Tues. , so I must go get dinner on. Have a great day tomorrow Sue. I'll be thinkin' of ya. xxx Melody

Sheila , good luck tomorrow. I will say prayers for you. Let us know as soon as you can , how everything went.xx

Poppy  , it will be ok , honest. The drugs they give you will get you through it. I know it is all so over-welming to think about. Your gonna do great. Good luck to you too. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My son is a little hunk , isn't he!lol He is just as beautiful on the inside too. I have been blest with a great kid. Well , take care. Hugs , Melody

Sue, you're fast asleep by now, but I just wanted to check in to tell you how proud I am of you for working a full day right off the bat.  You are something else!  What an incredibly strong woman you are.  Don't worry so much about the chemo.  I won't lie--it isn't fun, but you know what?  I think I know you well enough now to be able to say that you're going to breeze right through it.  And after it's all over, I guarantee that you'll appreciate feeling well like you never have before.  I'll NEVER complain about little aches and pains again

Rest well Sue.  Have a wonderful day tomorrow.

Hugs,

Karen

Hi Sue,

Just checking in. Sorry to hear your arm pit is still sore. It is such a sensitive area and was by far the most painful part of my surgery - and I only had 2 nodes out. You are doing amazingly well. Even though it isn't easy you just keep going and I do admire you so much. 

More beautiful photos! Karen, your dogs are so beautiful! They do look laid back and happy. 

I loved the photos of your Whippet, Shirlann. What a perfect athlete! Every muscle defined and stretched to the limit - brilliant shots! My sister gave me a book on puppies and the section on Whippets has gorgeous photos of a mother whippet with her beautiful puppies. They have such beautiful, sensitive faces. I can't wait to get a puppy! But how will I choose? I love so many different breeds!

Melody - loved your photo of you and your son. You are both gorgeous and there's a lovely chemistry that is obvious - even in a photo. So glad you have a good son to support you. 

Love to all

He is SO cute Karen! What a great costume! - So glad he had a good time. You are a great mom - even though you are going through trials, you manage to let him have fun times like this. He must be such a joy to you.

hugs,

gb 

gb , thank you for your kind words. He is my one and only , and I love him to death! Its funny , he is the one person in this world that calms me down. He was a godsend through this whole journey.

Karen , awwww , what incredibly beautiful doggies. I do believe dogs are one of God's special blessings. Thats why God spelled backwards is dog!

Your little guy is adorable. I love the outfit. Halloween is sooo much fun. You get to dress up and trick or treat , doesn't get any better than that! And all that you have "on your plate" right now , your the best mom ever. Hang tight Karen , after chemo , it really does get better. Five weeks after your last chemo , you should start to see your hair growing. At least thats how mine went. Are you craving anything? I craved potatoes after my chemo. I think it was the starch that would settle my stomach. Or , at least I could tolerate it. Take care.
