I'm back for a short period
Hey my family of friends, I am so sorry for not being here for each of you. But you were never far from my thoughts each day, and this entire board was prayed for daily. Yes, I have to move and have 2 days to be out of this apartment. Yes, I got evicted, because I was late paying the rent in December. I am moving over towards Nashville area, looking between Antioch to Portland, TN. Yes, I have been very sick since January 2, and have rejected the new drug of chemo for my leukemia. Yes, I have a severe sinus infection, and my bronchial tubes are solid packed and won't break up. I have to go to the hospital until Tuesday for IV antibiotics, and if it still hasn't broken up after Tuesday, I will be admitted into the hospital. My white blood cells are too low to even fight the infections in my body. I will be off and online over the next couple of weeks. I will be staying with a couple who had their surgery in July 04. They haven't been online posting for a long while. So I will be able during the day to get caught up with all my email.
I ask for no forwards at this time to be sent to my hotmail account, I have 5 pages of email to weed thru and no time right now to read all the forwards. I know you will understand.
Thank you Laura for passing on my messages. I can't wait to live closer to you, Melinda, Susan, Toni. oh and anyone else in the Nashville area. I have section 8 and I'm allowed a two bedroom apartment as I will be needing a live in when I have to go on regular Chemo. I am constantly still losing weight and I'm not even trying now. My form of Leukemia is rare is Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, can actually become Acute Myeloid or myelogenous Leukemia and shorten my life span. That is why I am moving to the Nashville area. My youngest son and 4 yr old grandson live in Portland. My older son, dnl, and 2 yr old grandson live in Lavergne. I need to be closer to them as each is getting harder and harder to even just get up. They can't seem to get my blood pressure up past 90/50. Today it was 130/90 before I got the antibiotic in my IV, afterwards they checked my blood pressure again as I felt dizzy and it was 80/50. It had dropped that fast. The size 10 levi jeans I am wearing now fit great 3 days ago. This pair hadn't been worn yet and now won't stay up. The cancer in my blood and marrow is eating me up inside faster then it should. Please remember me in your prayers. They can't seem to find out what is causing all this to happen. The thyroid and parathyroids are normal, the lymph nodes are normal, but somewhere in my body is a cancer that is eating off the excess skin as I have barely any left except in my arms and thighs. I have knots all over me, but my PCP, and oncologist just thinks they're fat deposits or cysts from the leukemia. No one has bother to check them, but they are popping up everywhere, and not in the fatty skin but more in the muscle area.
I will try and keep in better touch once I am moved.
God be with you all, love Kathy

Hi Sweet Kathy,
Bless your heart. I know you are having a rough time. Maybe they will soon get you straightened out so, you will feel better. I pray for you every night. The TN board has really been quiet.
Have a good week-end, Ellen
Thank you Ellen. I pray for this whole board, whether they are new, or post-op. Each are God's children and need prayers whether for their surgeries, financial, health, or relationships. I am only his messenger, his tool to help others get thru the process. There's no rest for the sick, the wicked, or the weak, when it comes to having to move. I asked my landlord about staying for the last 2 weeks and I would pay him for the rent, as I had been too sick to pack. He had my apartment already rented and they are moving in on Wednesday. So I still have until Monday to make sure everything is moved, in my van, in storage, or cleaned. I am rushing the job now to get packed. I still have to pack up all my videos, and crafts so the two dressers can be moved. Pack up all my clothes so the big dresser can be moved, and strip my bed down in the morning for them to break down the hospital bed that I have to use. I'd like to come across another one and make the bed a king size. I found one, but it was sold before I could get it. Wasn't meant to have it at that time. There's always a reason. Please keep praying. I need to get back to making up the boxes and get as much done in the next hour or two before I call it quits. Love Kathy
Thank you Dennie, he's a slumlord in the first degree. I found out he rented my apartment while I was in Nashville for the holidays. I have to be out on the 15th, the new people are moving in the same day. I'm not worried about it, I was going to request him to allow me to move at the end of January so that I could be closer to my family. I even went to the Library in Portland and typed up a letter for him to sign for section 8, and printed out three copies. By the time I was able to give them to the landlord by way of the maintenence man, he had already mailed out the eviction notice. I'm relieved, short on the timeing and with me sick, but now in two weeks I will be able to see my grandsons more then I get to now. So it's a blessing in itself.
You take care of yourself, and I wish you would return the other backside that's not showing to me, I don't have enough padding in my butt to fill out the jeans, and the butt bones are complaining because there isn't any padding, so would you kindly send my butt back to me. Love Kathy
Heavenly Father I come to you now and ask that you would touch our friend Kathy. You bore the stripes for our healing, I know you are a healing God, so I ask right now that you will lay your hand of healing upon Kathy, touch her from her head down to her toes. There is nothing that you cant heal or do, we thank you in advance for Kathys healing. Also touch her spirit right now to help her through this rough transition, touch her finances and give her the courage and the strength that she needs, let her know that we are here for her and we are praying for her, in Jesus Name, amen.
Mike
