Connie, I hope everything is getting better for you. I had you on my mind all day today. I was thinking about two of my friends who died of cancer in the past few years. One of them just passed away 2 months ago.
she had gone through a nasty divorce from a nasty cheating hubby. she was devestated but made it through.
Their kids were grown so no child support. and becasue he didn't make alot of money she didn' tget much for alimony. they had to sell their house and with the little bit that was her share she used it to buy a mobile home outright. it wasn't a big place at all but it was hers.
She then found a job. but because she had always worked part time while the kids were growing up she didn't have any major skills and never could find something that would give her health care.
PLUS the week they filed for divorce is when she found out she had cancer. So because of the preexsisting condition it was impossible to find someone who would hire her let alone give her health care.
He had to keep her on his insurance but only for 18 months. She made it through the cemo and radiation and was in remission for a few months.
she finally got ajob that had basic health care. then with all of the problems with the resession she was laid off.
Thats when she started to get tired and not feel quite right. she didn't have the health care and didnt' want to spend any money that she didn't have.
She thought maybe it was just a bug.
She got sick at thanksgiving day and her daughter made her to go the emergency room. Yes the cancer was back and had spread. they said it was just a matter of weeks.
while we had been friends for almost 30 years we would get in touch with each other but not regualrly because of work.
I work for a newspaper and the day I saw her obit I wasn't good for the rest of that day. I wa son the phone with our group of friends. She went very quickly at the end. Her daughter called me that night and we talked. Her daughter was and is still doing good. We keep in touch.
Cancer is a scarey word.
I really feel that my friend was going through just so much that even though she was a fighter all of the stress didn't help her make it through.
Stress is a terrible thing.
I just wanted you to know that you and your friends are being thought of and in my prayers.
As you are.
Let us know how your surgery goes please.
Good luck and god bless, Pam

Pammy,
What a wonderful post and thank you so much for thinking of me. I appreciate it more than you can imagine. I'm so very sorry about your friend. How horrible for her daughter and you. With my two friends going through their cancer ordeals, I wonder what I would do if I only had a little while to live. Would I spend what could be what's left of my life fighting or would I accept death and spend what was left living and doing what I wanted. I just don't know.
Many hugs,
Connie

I think it woudl depend on how I felt. If i was in alot of pain I'd not be a quick to wanna stick around. but who knows? its one of those things you hope you never have to find out.
I'dlike to think i was a fighter. i've fought some other battles i thought i'd never have to and came out of them ok.
Cancer is a nasty word.
On a different note cause I just can not stand being down...
Last night my daughtyer stopped by to see my beautiful newly renovated bathroom! it is awesome! i love it. did the painting and decorating on my week off last week. got a new vanity counter and sink faucet, towel bars pretty new towels too. new light and new mirror it is fantastic! Lovely! beauiful!
buttttt this isn't about my wonderful new bathroom this is about Paulie.
We were upstairs he was downstairs an not happy that my daughter didn't stop to say hi to him. we were cracking up listening to him say poor paulie poor crazy bird. poor poor paulie. hahaha he makes me happy.
the guy is still in my life.
tell me connie why is it i get myself into thiese situations then do not have the cahoonas to get myself out of them?
Oh well if anyone had the answer to that question they'd be a millionaire.
still praying.
