Happy Halloween!!!

Hi All, just wanted to drop in to say hello and hope you all have a great weekend.
I am at my office for a few minutes as it's within the same complex as the hospital mom is in.
We found out last night she now has cancer in her rectum as well as her knee...that's maybe 6 or 7 areas now.  It's very difficult as I am so close to her.  The oncologist told me today all he is trying to do is keep it from going to her brain.  Just pray that she goes peacefully and the pain subsides.

On a brighter note.  I went to Georgetown on Wed for an iron infusion..  Dr. Sonnanstine set me up in one of the rooms on the bariatric unit.  the nurse Cathy was such a sweetheart and Dr. Tom came in to see me and I got my hug.  After we went to his office so that my hubby could get a teeny bit of fluid out of the band.  He is doing great on that.
I am doing my best not to stress eat and take care of myself..but it's not always easy.
I have been reading when I get the chance, sounds like everyone is doing so well.  I hope to have a get together in the N. Ky/ Cinci area, it's just very difficult to do anything right now. 
But next spring an event in Lexington is looking pretty promising.  I will keep you all posted.

Brenda, sorry to hear that your mom is so ill and I do pray that she will go peacefully. It's times like these that stress can be hard to deal with so I pray for your comfort and peace also.  Have a good week-end.  Jeanie B.

Brenda I will keep you and your family in my prayer.  I am having a little laproscopic up keep the week of Thanksgiving in Georgetown.  This will make my 3rd time I can't eat Thanksgiving dinner in 5 years.  Not worried, I am in great hands.  My Gb went bad at Thanksgiving, the following year had to have a hysterectomy and now a little scar tissue.  Just knowing I am having surgery I swear the pain is better.  Not really. 

Take care of yourself.

Brenda I am sorry your mom is so ill.  That must be so very difficult.  Just a note to know others of thinking of you and praying for your mom.
