thank you Joyce etc.

[Guest guest]

Hi Gang,

I'm back home tonight after a 50th birthday dinner

for my dear sister-in-law. So sorry to miss the chat,

and I hate missing you, !

My depression of late has made it really hard for

me to concentrate, and I'm having to race through

posts, which is not my style. I apologize in advance

for the things I'm missing or have to skip over. I'm

frustrated and tired and have to get up at the crack

of dawn tomorrow to go to the clinic for PFT's. bah.

I'll forget a ton of things, but I wanted to say:

Joyce,

You're an angel for the beautiful prayer. It moved

me to tears, and your timing is perfect! Thank you

for your inspiring faith and your huge heart. I so

hope to give you an in-person hug some day, my

friend. God bless you. Thank you, Peggy, Leanne,

, and the rest of you who are so supportive.

I'm needing extra care at the moment.

Sandie,

You've become such a vital member of the group.

Thank you for being you, and for your concern for

everyone. I've got to go back in the next day or two

to read about your trip to the doc. You're in my prayers.

Tina,

You've got my hand, that's for sure.

Bruce,

I'm feeling the warm fuzzies. Hugs to your sweet

self. We love you, too. Hope you're resting.

Hello to you, Todd.

Being 02 hungry goes hand-in-hand with headaches.

I get them all too frequently, but they don't always

last long (I've got one now). You'll probably want to

consider getting an oximeter, to check your sats.

Sometimes a prescription will help cover the cost -

didn't for me. Welcome to this wonderful site. I

too had a VATS in 2005 (glad I did)- you'll hear a

LOT of opinions about biopsies from the board. My

story's simple - I just had to know as much as

possible. I'm sorry you are battling this detestable

disease on top of other things, but you're in good

company here. Fire away with comments and questions.

Nighty night. OH, hang in there, Jane and way to go,

Tammy!

Hugs and blessings,
