Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hi Everyone! I haven't checked in for a while. Well I'm beginning week 9 of consistent workouts. I started keeping track of how much I was eating last week and I've lost 5 pounds. 5 pounds in 8 weeks! But I've lost many more inches. Like Bombachita said, I finally get the food part! I'm becoming much more aware of what I put into my body. There is a direct connection between what I put into my body and how I feel. I felt awful after my cheat meal this weekend. I began to think about what exactly I'm putting into my body. Not only was the food full of salt and MSG but what's going on behind closed doors. Are the utensils clean? Is the food fresh? Are there rodents in there? Our local news do the sanitation grades of different restaurants and some of the results are shocking. All of these things are causing me to lean more and more to eating totally clean and cooking my own food. So we will see. I'm going to continue to take it one day at a time. Taking things one day at a time makes things go by so much faster. February 16th will make 7 months since I've been following BFL! Yaaaa!

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 It is always so very good to hear that some folks DO stay with family when they are needed!!!

When ever my husband or I are needing help or are sick my family is right there to help. My mom always said that a family that helps in any time of need is one that will be there when you go through a river.

Another from a different African country indicating that if you were in the hospital in THIS country, ALL the folks from that same country, from many states around, would congregate in the hospital room, keeping contact, support.

I traveled all my life all over the world being in a military family.....other cultures....Europe, Asia, etc. the families stick together, they even live together....it's nothing to find 3 or 4 generations under one roof. Here, children don't want to be bothered by their parents. I had to live with one daughter for a short time and she was so embarrassed, couldn't wait to get me out of her home. She said people at work actually said things to her about it and asked how much longer I would be there. We have a great country, but there are things about it we should be ashamed of....and this is a big one.

Goodness, you certainly HAVE been thru the wringer! and still are... sigh Unfortunately, so many lose most contact with their family when so very ill, at least in this country. I wonder what it is in our society that makes so many folks run when a family member is very ill. Just when we need them so much, too. sigh.... Well, at least on this list, you get to say what's happening and all that, and have folks that CARE. whether or not we are well enough to respond online ratm.... hopefully it's been possible to connect well with some of your caregivers or fellow patients where you get treatment? SO tough to have to give up your dogs! They give such wonderful love.... Yes, I'm sure that sometimes it seems almost too hard to bear. I haven't 'been there' with such severe challenges. (Mine were only 'fixable' kind.) I really don't know what to say more. Each thing seems not right. But I do wish and pray for you that all will go for you in the best way possible. and that meanwhile life can feel more blessed.... somehow... hugs, Jean From: ladyice51 Sent: Saturday, November 14, 2009 8:06 AM To: BeingSick@yahoogrou ps.com Subject: Hi Hi,I am new to the group. I have had like most of you, a varied problematic life of poor health. I am divorced and live on disability, my children are grown and away and frankly not too interested in me. I guess I am having a pity party for myself.I had my right kidney removed in 2007 a difficult 8 hr. surgery due to complications from radiation in 1990. The doctor left the ureter as it was not known that the kidney had cancer until after the fact. The ureter had abnormal cells, and I started Chemo in 2008. Went code blue twice and Chemo stopped. I developed bladder cancer went through biological treatment, cancer stayed. In 2009 Sept. was diagnosed with 4th stage liver cancer. Spent a week in the hospital for anemia, dehydration, and mal nutrition.Only option given was to go back on Chemo. I am losing my hair, and the American Cancer Society has been generous in providing a wig. My family convinced me to give up a couple of my dogs, so now I am depressed. Oh and now I am being treated for the flu.I haven't really heard anything from my oldest who stopped communicating during the divorce in 2003. My middle manages to call once or twice a month even though she lives in the state. My youngest manages more, but is busy entertaining in-laws until April 2010 while they live with her through the winter in Florida.There are days lately that I wonder why I am fighting. I don't even remember when food tasted like food, or that I had energy to do much of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
