Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Boy Lynda, You really have a job ahead of you! . . . Please don't leave any stone unturned to find the answer to all this! . . . You know, as well as anyone, that doctors aren't Gods and there's lots of things that heal they don't begin to understand. I'm confident that once you get over the shock you'll find what it's going to take to get rid of those ugly cancer cells!

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Yep, no more hyperbaric for now. I hope that the pain does not come back as severe as it was, it was getting better. I may have to find a neurologist who can do the nerve blocks. Don't like the thought of that.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Yes, what a load of crap to deal with, both cancer and RSD. Going to bed. My lung is so sore. I need rest. Did not sleep well last night. Lynda At 10:08 PM 1/14/2008, you wrote: >Boy Lynda, > >You really have a job ahead of you! . . .

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Lynda, OOHHH...........you are going to be in dreamland and well deserved I might say. This ought to do you some really good healing mentally. And getting out of this weather and being in that cleaner weather is also healthier for you.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Lynn, I think I might be doing a bit better, working on strategies to get out of the depression. I did talk to the social worker at the center in Boulder today. I am trying to keep in sight all the positives that are happening. My daughter did come by today. I don't think she knows what to do or how to act. Especially when I am so depressed, they are used to seeing me as the strong one in the family. She mostly was on the computer downstairs, but she is fixing my dresser drawer for me, because it broke and cannot be used. The glide fell apart. Neither Bob or I can fix those things anymore. It has to dry before I can use it. I even heard from my ex today, and two of my sons. The one is in Guatemala still and will not be around until May or June. The other will be over here before then or I will go there and see my twin grand-babies. I am going to plan to get together with friends and play pinochle. That would make a nice break for me. Maybe next week I can start to plan to have a real meal out again. I just cannot eat a meal yet. I need to plan some fun things so I can have something to look forward to. I need sleep. I did sleep this morning, more than any day since the infusion, so maybe that has helped. Still majorly constipated from the steroids and the chemo. Been crying a lot today, maybe that will work some of it out also. I think I just have to get through this to get past it. Thanks for thinking about me.
