Hello, it's been a long time since I was here, the place sure has changed... to those that remember me, I hope all is well in your lives...to those that don't know me, I wish you all well also.

Good morning Darlene and everyone....

Darlene....I am thrilled to see your post this AM. Welcome Back!!! Hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Everything is about the same with me. If there isn't stress in my life I would think I was someone else!! I am in Iowa now but heading back to MN tomorrow.

Things have changed. So many of our regular group has fallen by the wayside. I hope now after all the holidays others will join in again. We have some really great newbies too. Hope you decide to stay!!! I have missed you!!

I am going to try to do nothing but relax today. I did laundry and other thing yesterday. I need to rest up for the ride home.

Wishing everyone a great day!!  Keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers!!

Much love and many hugs to all......connie d

Hi Darlene and my OFF family:

Good to hear from you again. It's been a long time. Lots of the old-timers don't show up any more.

I was busy yesterday and didn't do much online at all. Lots of running around. So at 2 a.m. this morning I woke up with a migraine/sinus headache (a little of both, I think), accompanied by vomiting. Oh joy. Grabbed a basin that I got from my last hospital stay and my icepacks and laid down and retched for a while ... not much, just the foamies and water. Didn't have much in my tummy. But that went on for a while, on and off, whenever I'd wake up again. I tried to take something for the headache, but I kept throwing it up. Got up at 9 a.m. when the neighbors started blaring their music and I couldn't stand the pounding ... threw up a few more times and went out in the living room, took an Imitrex, tried to keep it down. Had some peppermint tea and water ... it helped settle my stomach. Been able to keep down some crackers and coffee, so I think I'm past the worst. Luckily I'm off today. 

Connie, glad all went well so far with Nic's progress ... did I tell you the story of Sam Featherstone, a young man from our area who had pediatric brain cancer? He was in college when it returned, raised a whole bunch of money for St. Jude's, but unfortunately died recently. Sounds like he was a really great young man. Too bad ... a great loss. I hope Nic can beat his cancer. 

We had rain all day yesterday and with this headache I've had, I think we're going to get more, but it's not in the forecast for today ... maybe tomorrow.

Anyway, I'm going to get off here now. Hope everyone has a good day. Judy, stay dry. Congrats on your raise ... at least you got one. Our raises are frozen. I'm just happy to have a job.

Eileen....so sorry to hear about Sam. This cancer is wicked!! I am trying to keep positive. It is scary as most Neuroblastoma kids don't make it past their teens and often very much sooner. Poor babies! I saw a lot at St Jude. So many of Nic's friends have died from this disease. They don't seem to live past 21-22 years old. We keep praying Nic will continue with good results!! He has survived it many times already.

Hope you are feeling better now. There is so much going around!

Love and hugs....connie d

Hi Darlene!  I remember you from my lurking days back on 08.  Hope your back to stay.  There used to be GUYS here back than.

Just trying to make it thru the liquid diet today.  Trying to keep hand and mind busy.  I figured out with the DD help how to put my CD's on my computer.  We still haven't figured out how to get them on the Kindle Fire I bought to take to the hospital.  I'll be very angry if I can't.  It is the reason I bought it.  My DD can put them on her DD kindle.  We can only see where you have to buy music.  Ain't going to happen!!!

Done venting hope everyone has a great day.

Welcome Darlene.

How the hell are you?   I hope all is well.  

Good thanks, been doing some classes and such, getting ready to have a revison... etc etc... normal stuff....LOL nice hearing from you, didn't think many would remember me...
