Irene

You could never drive me nuts. Now some of the people and problems

you encountered. Thats another story.

I know today you don't feel like getting out, but if you continue

unable to eat, you need to try something like Ensure as a liquid food

replacement.

Irene, we're all still praying for you and hoping that they find the

cause of the pain and nausea. It's just ludicrous that the Pulmo

hasn't called you yet.

Makes some of us mad enough to spit nails....

I am so looking forward to meeting you in person, in San , so

you simply have to get well so we can all hug you, big time!!!

The fluids are very important so I'm happy you're managing to get them

down. How about those liquid shakes, like Ensure, that have some

nutritional value to them as well? Maybe they could help while you're

not able to get solid food down.

Stay strong! You're an amazing person and a source of inspiration to

us all!

Big, Big Hugs from Texas!

Babs

I can't believe her incredible strength like so many others I've met

here. I know today, I'm not as strong as Irene or Joyce or Gwynne or

Leanne or Peggy or Beth or so many here. However, by their

inspiration, I find myself each day gaining a bit myself and becoming

better prepared when the time comes to face my own battles.

One thing about this board is it's real. It's fun, it's tragic. It's

upbeat, it's depressing. It's good news, it's bad. But thats life and

that's friendship. We fight these battles to make the most of our

lives together. We dream in the midst of adversity. I loved (ok even

though I started it, but I did so selfishly to hear all the idea) to

hear everyone talk about the places they'd like to go. It makes me

want to jump in the car and take off today. Soon though I will. Maybe

February but no later than March. I feel blessed that I still can and

I feel an obligation to myself to do so. In a strange way I also feel

that same obligation to the board to do all I can. Especially to

those who aren't able to as well as I. I don't know if what I'm

saying makes any sense. But, it's like 's current trip. It makes

me feel more alive.

When I hit San every member here who isn't there will

certainly be there in my heart and thoughts.
