Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Dede, I hope you contacted your insurance company. They should pay to replace the computer and anything else that is damaged. They did when it hit my house years ago. Glad you are ok, but I bet the ions in your body are out of whack.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Welcome back! . .. You can tell we were getting really worried about you! That stuff would stop working, then start working again is curious! . . . I guess you can just be thankful for small favors. Thank God you are safe! LOL! . . . And I couldn't think of your last name! . . . When it's right there in your address! Duh! Love, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hi Dede, Having your ions reversed can make you feel very weird. I am doing ok, chemo again in 8 days. My sister is having her knee replaced the same morning. It will be crazy around here when she gets out of the hospital and the rehab unit. She has the guest room downstairs, so will not be going up and down much. I will be trying to avoid getting my hands in dishwater (not supposed to do that with the hand/foot syndrome) and trying to keep my hands from getting bad, which would delay the next chemo by weeks. Definitely don't want to do that. Want to get it over with. So, may be eating out a lot for a week or two, which I cannot afford, so maybe not. We will find some solution. Not supposed to wear waterproof gloves. Hands have to breathe. No hot water, not even for showers, has to be lukewarm always. It is my biggest battle, keeping my hands from getting to second stage, they got to third stage a couple of months back and delayed my chemo. I am very careful, icing them several times a day and keeping them with good creams (calendula salve, pure lanolin,etc). I have to wear cotton gloves most of the time and keep socks on to keep the salve on my feet. Between that and fighting canker sores, watching what I eat so it is not too acid because chemo affects the lining of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach. I have to take zantac sometimes for my digestion because the chemo affects my stomach so much. All in all, I feel pretty good, just have to be careful a lot. I have at least 3 more chemos to go now, since they added two. We will wait on the PET scan after #8 to see if I have to do more than 8. Hope you get the stuff from the lightning taken care of. It can be a nuisance, for sure, dealing with insurance companies and waiting for replacements.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Lynda, It's certainly busy at your place! . . . Please tell your sister she has our prayers too. It sounds like it's going to be time to get a bunch of paper plates, bowls, plastic dinnerware . . . Anything to keep from getting your hands wet . . . How about meals on wheels? . . . Would they deliver food to you for a little while? Hugs and prayers, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Rogene, Probably I would not eat the food that comes from meals on wheels. I buy organic and am very picky about what I put into my body. I have thought about paper plates, but the pans and pots are what gets you when you go to clean them. I have used tongs and a dishbrush. But I cannot use a lot of pressure, like cutting hard veggies or scrubbing pots. That causes pain and is clearly on the list of things they tell you not to do. So, I have to be very careful. I am sure I will get by somehow. Maybe Bob will have to scrub a few pots that are stuck on for a month. Something will work out. I will tell my sister. I am sure she appreciates it. Her church has her on their prayer list, I am sure. She doesn't say much to them about her problems until after the fact, though. They know about her dental surgery as she was in bed on pain pills last Sunday. She will miss a few Sundays when she has knee surgery. They will know then for sure. I find it hard to wait for the info. that comes from the PET scan. The time in between them is hard to deal with sometimes, but I try not to spend time thinking about it. I just want to see great progress in early August when I get the next one. Lynda At 10:16 PM 7/5/2008, you wrote: >Lynda, > >It's certainly busy at your place! . . .

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Hello Clynn ~ How are you doing? are you healed now? Ya, that was a wild experience here last sunday. The other weird thing about it was my tree getting struck 2 weeks before that........very strange...... Everything seems to be working now except my computer so, I will just take it in and have it checked. I think the modem blew. Otherwise, all is well.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Wow Dede, how scary. I am glad you weren't hit or your house didn't sustain more damage.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 s Ministries never even answered my phone calls, left two messages. Her relief society will bring some meals when she gets home from the hospital, I am sure. But, for the 10 days right after my chemo, I am on my own. I did it the first two months when they hand not reduced the amount of the chemo, so I am sure I will get by. We did eat out a lot back then, but all I could eat for a week was chicken noodle soup and stuff like that. Thank God since they reduced the amount I am given I can eat mostly normal meals, just have to watch the acid content, as it gets me the entire month. Cleaning is not a big problem, I let the Roomba do the vacuuming and dusting can be done a bit at a time. It is laundry, changing sheets, and cleaning pots and pans that is the big challenge, plus keeping the plants all watered outside. Bob may have to help with the outside, I will have to show him everything three times, at least. He is 86 and forgetful. Keeping up with the garden is also a problem, but I will have to do it somehow. Lots of greens for salads and lots of broccoli. Tomatoes are just starting.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Lynda, The thing that keeps coming to mind is coping . . . we learn to cope, regardless of what comes our way. It sounds like you've been doing a tremendous amount of coping. We'll pray things get easier really soon. I'm doing OK . . . except for anxiety and some pain. I'm gradually taking more pain medication - still a low dose though. I've decided to try to beat the pain to the punch by taking it before it starts . . . If it breaks through, I'll take it a little sooner next time. Just light touch or movement can set it off. I anticipate, as well as dread, the surgery. It's a bummer . . . but what can you do but take it day by day and deal with whatever comes my way. Love, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Absolutely true, one day at a time. That is how I have to do it right now. Coping I am good at, but would rather not have to do so much of it. I guess you will have that bad haircut again, just when it has grown out and looks decent, right???? I would dread the surgery also. I remember having panic attacks just trying to get into the door for my first chemo. I am surprised they have not done radiation before the surgery to stop the progress of the cancer. They do that often.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Lynda, I don't understand why there isn't any pre-treatment available either . . . radiation I can understand because they need to see the tissues undamaged . . . The CT scan didn't show a tumor. . . just the biopsy. Based on how my neck has itched for a long time, I suspect the cancer has been in the partoid gland for a long time. . . Only surgery will tell. My feeling is that the first surgery wasn't as extensive as necessary. .. They should have done this one the first time. . . but caution ruled. . . I don't regret that. Not only will I have a lousy haircut again, but when I get the screw implanted for a hearing aid, I'll get another lousy haircut. I'm letting a top layer grow to cover things up as much as possible. Ialso have a couple cute hats that do a good job of covering most of it - without looking suspicious. I'm trying everything at my disposal to discourage the cancer . . . no sugar, lots of probiotics, Reiki, FAR infrared light, meditation, prayer, etc. . . If there's going to be a miracle, I need it soon. Rogene Re: Hello Everybody ! ! Absolutely true, one day at a time.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Rogene, I totally understand that if there is to be a miracle, it has to be soon. I am glad the hats mostly cover the damage. I have not lost my hair, but I am using a cold cap when I do the chemo. I am doing probiotics, Reiki, massage, chiropractic, good diet, meditation, prayer, and EMDR also. I am just trying to roll with the flow and not be anxious or fearful, just be grateful for the time I have here. Only God knows how much time that will be, but I told my oncologist that I fully expect him to help keep me alive for at least 5 years, and he said he fully expected to do just that. Hope your outcome is better than mine will be in the end.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Dede, She said it was too big for her to take care of. She referred me to a surgeon. I asked if we could just band it and he said no, way too big!! He said he could completely remove but I will be off of work for 3 weeks. I can't do that right now because I was just off for 2 weeks with my ovary surgery! So he cut and drained it. I do feel relief but I am still bleeding. I have went through two large pads and bled through two pair of pants! I hope the bleeding slows soon. I am already anemic how it is. He does feel like it will come back so may need removal in the future (at a better time). It hurt so bad! I couldn't help but cry. Tears were running off my face all over the doctor's table and pillow. I am happy it is gone though. Bye bye Roy. Love, Lynn > > > Lynn ~ > > I am so sorry you have that to deal with.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hello Sweetie, Pain killers are bad about making bricks out of your ......stuff... Get a squirt bottle, and squirt your bum with it, use warm water in the bottle. also, get some huggie baby wipes with shea butter, they are very soothing ! I hope these ideas help you ! Loveya ~ Dede**************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 That is great news Lynda! Thanks for sharing. I know I need it to bleed and leave but I should have asked how much it will bleed. It is still bleeding this morning. I won't worry about it though. Hugs, Lynn > > > > > > > > > Lynn ~ > > > > > > I am so sorry you have that to deal with.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Dede, I can't do the pain killers because the just make my constipation worse! Errr... I am sore and still bleeding. Plus, the doc wants me to drink Milk of Mag and Prune Juice until I get the runs. Well it didn't take long! The kids are RUNNING to the pool. But I can't figure out how to wipe when I have a big old VERY sore laceration on my butt! Nice conversation... could only say this stuff here....
