Think of me tomorrow.....

Friends.... I'm on my way to St. Louis today for testing. They're doing a radical adominal hysterectomy at noonish tomorrow at Barnes, and hopefully they'll get all the Ovarian Cancer out. I'll just be glad when this huge belly is gone. I'm tired of sloshing around. You don't have to reply. I won't see a computer again for quite some time. I'll probably be in the hospital five days, and then I'll come back home. Just say a prayer for me tomorrow. I can really feel everyone's prayers working. I am not afraid. I feel God's hand on my shoulder, and whatever will be will be. At least, I'm the healthiest I've ever been in my life, and I certainly remember what it's like to live on clear fluids. LOL It's really true -- when you get news like this you realize that you shouldn't sweat the small stuff. Learn to appreciate what's really important. Give your family and friends a hug today, and practice random acts of kindness. Soak in the beauty around you. Learn to love others and yourself. None of us know how our days are numbered on this Earth -- so make the most of what you've got. Take a lesson from me and really appreciate today. Peace and love to you, Joni

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Karen G

Joni, You're in my thoughts and prayers. Try and keep a positive attitude it really does help with coping and remember there is power in prayer. Best of luck tomorrow and soon this will all be behind you. If there is anything I can do please do not hesitate to ask.

Joni ... you are on our minds and in our hearts ... we look forward to your bright shining face back here. Peace and love right back at ya, friend. Karyn

Joni, I think of you a lot. And I will be sending good thoughts and strong positive thoughts your way tomorrow and every day. I know what you are experiencing and I know that the outcome can be better than they tell you it can be because you are one person, not a statistic. Hold on to that, live every day just as you have advised us to do and know that there are many reading who do not respond but only because they just don't know what to say or will say something wrong. Facing the possibility of death (there, I've said it) is just too hard for so many people to respond to. Whatever is to come, you are truly loved and goodness and hope are sent your way. Please continue to find support here and let us know of your progress. Pure love and light to you, Joni. Be fearless. tee

Always ALWAYS in my prayers! (((HUGS))) G-dspeed!

Tank you for your words of wisdom and know that so many of us are holding you close and keep you in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless Charlie
