Thank you so much ,

Your support is appreciated.

I had already said in my last post to her that I was done. I don't need this at

all. I read what she wrote below and deleted it right away. I would never get

through to someone who can write what she did here anyway. There is a

bitterness that is guiding her it seems.

I only wanted to try to explain that there are nice ways to say to people that

you have an easier time of things without trying to make it seem as if others

did not try the same way she does. Instead of saying " I can handle things

better than others. " , she could have said that she is sure everyone is handling

what they are going through the best that they can and that the ways she is

doing it are working for her. She could have offerred advice or support to

those that are worse off than her, instead of bragging about her great life

without even mentioning what she hoped for others or how badly she felt that

others didn't have this in their lives. Oh well. I had already chosen to stop

and told her so. If she wants to keep going I will just continue to delete.

I'm glad she has an easy life. I just wish she cared about the lives of other

people.

I leave at noon for my second day of chemo. I was toilet hugging most of the

night last night and am either flaring, having the fibro flu or it's the chemo,

but I fell lousy today. Probably won't be much better tonight. We'll see. At

least it a blessing to have my daughter and my cousin rotating staying over with

me and they were both here last night, bossing me around. I welcomed their

presence, bossy or not, as I live alone and it was great just hearing their

voices.

Thank you again for your kind words,

Blessed be,

Marti

Hi Marti, I was reading your letter to Darlene, I just love hearing

about your time with your grandson it reminds me that thier were

better days when the boys were little. I love all of the movies you

mentioned, my oldest used to love Never Ending Story when he was

little. I miss those days and am so looking forward to my little

grandaughter(Kylie)getting a little older. That's if my son doesn't

scare her mother off....... Tell your daughter to go get some reading

material laminated for the bathroom.{joking}I know there is no way

you can concentrate enough to read while that is going on. I'm so

glad you have family there with you, alot of us are there with you in

spirit. Hang in there.

Hi ,

Thank you so much. My grandchildren are the joys in my life right now (along

with my kids, I guess I should say). But they are so sweet and mischevious at

the ages they are now. Brady is 3 and he is more of a go getter than Jack is

and much harder to take care of. I was secretely glad that he didn't want to

come because he's afraid of cats, because Jack is so easy going and will help

out with getting things from upstairs and stuff. Aidan is still so much fun to

watch because he is 10 months and that is just an adorable age. He is pulling

up and walking around holding on to things and it is so funny when he reaches

way out to try to catch hold of something that is just beyond his grasp and so

he falls on his tummy and starts laughing, but jumps right back up again and

does the same thing. I just love it that they like to come over here. They

made me a sign that says Camp Nana. Of course Mommy stays while the other two

are here.

Jack has his own bed in the his bedroom (also known as 's (my son) room,

the guest room and the other room). The room is obviously more Jack's room

because it is decorated in pirate and dragon stuff all around. Even to

tourettes over his bed and a 6 1/2 ft dragon with wings. He loves it up there.

There's another bed in there too and when we have sleep overs I sleep in there

with him and we play and read books until he falls asleep. (And then I turn out

the lights and fall asleep right after him.)

Today was worse than yesterday, but I think that was to be expected. I was

flarring and feeling lousy even before it started. But as long as I am

peaceful, typing is relaxing for me. I'm one of those who learned how to type

in the old ages so I can type without looking at anything and just relax. (Jack

was amazed that I could type and talk to him at the same time.)

Thank you for the well wishes. They are appreciated very much.

Marti, my heart is right there with you. I cannot imagine the misery you are

in. I could say I can imagine, but I cannot. Fibro alone is alot to deal

with. But chemo and cancer,,,,my goodness. I am so glad you had a good time

with the little grandson. Children are such a joy. (sometimes they can be a

little irritating though if they are not in a good mood)... LOL. But it sounds

like you had a perfect time with him. He is so lucky to have a grandma like

you.

I hope you have some kind of nausea meds to take to relieve some of that

misery. I hope they help a little.

Marti, you have always been so kind an so giving here at the site. What a

wonderful strong woman you are.

love and hugs,

Debra V.

Hi Darlene,

I hurt all over this morning, but my head is really hurting. I'm not sure if I'm

flaring, having an episode of the fibro flu, with aches and pains everywhere and

a low grade fever, have a cold, because I am freezing in a warm house with a

sweat suit on, or it's just the effects of chemo. Last night I started burning

up and sweating so who knows. I am sure that the toilet hugging is the chemo.

Hey maybe I'll lose some weight. But then my clothes won't fit. I think the

reading materials would get pretty messed up while I'm in the bathroom, but

thank you for mentioning them.

I leave again at noon. I will again have my daughter and cousin here with me

tonight. One will leave to go home and one will stay. Can't remember which one

has to go to work tomorrow. They have the schedule worked out. I am blessed to

have them with me. It's so nice to hear them talking in the background and even

bossing me around as they tell me to go to bed and get off the computer, like

they did last night. I live alone so hearing people here is nice.

My 6 y/o grandson was here Saturday through Tuesday and we played many, many

games. I have a lot of them and he brought a few new ones he got for Christmas.

We also watched movies at rest time. We watched an oldy but goody, The Never

Ending Story and a new one The Last Mimsy (good one too) and the Chronicles of

Narnia. Enjoyed them all. I particularly like the way we watched them. We were

on the sofa covered in a guilt with LC my kitty on our laps, snuggling. That was

great. It's also great to watch his enthusiam for things. We read books, some he

read to me. We went on line to the Shining Stars website and played games and

colored (I got him a Shining Star Monkey and named a star for him so we can

enter the game area too.) It was really fun. He said he liked doing it sitting

on my lap the best. I didn't love that at all. LOL It was a good way to prepare

for the chemo and I am blessed that he wants to spend so much time with me.

As for changing the subject. I am through with that subject. I would never get

through to her anyway that there are nice ways to say things that don't hurt

others feelings. I had received 15 e-mails asking for me to post something and

so I did. When you are at a better place than someone else, or many someone

elses, there are kind ways of asking about them and telling your story, but not

disparaging how they are handling their lives. It would have been nice to say I

guess I may be dealing with less that some of you rather than saying I handle

things differently than you. There are nice ways to say almost anything.

Anyway I'm done, that's for sure.

I hope you are doing OK today and that you have fun with your new games. Thanks

for writing. I think I said I leave again at noon so I appreciate any and all

thoughts and prayers.

Blessed be,

Marti

Marti,

Well now I don't have to ask how the first day of chemo went! Having

had 2 aunts who went thru it for diff types of cancer, I know it

affects every one differently. Does your fibro flare up or are you

able to keep it at bay some?

What size print should we type in to make it easier for you? I

noticed that " all caps " is hard on the sarcoidisis so if I need to

make an emphasis on something I'll try another route. I don't want

anyone straining to read what I read, little as it is!

Can you tell I'm trying to change the current subject? I think on

some level we all deal with this beast where we are at. I am glad

that is blessed enough that her DH makes a sufficient

salary and that she can rely on some natural ways to deal with her

pain, energy level, etc. I know there are others who are trying that

route too (I do chiro, ion cleanse and reflexology and would do

massage if my ins allowed it!) to help us with this beast.

We all know that there are good and bad days. I'm in a bad cycle

myself, mainly because I pushed and pushed myself too much earlier

this week in an effort to be " done " for Thurs, Fri and Sat so maybe,

just maybe, I can play a game with my kids this weekend (we bought

some new board games - one is called " Nerdy Wordy " ; sounds fun huh?)

as they sometimes both struggle with spelling and reading and I

thought it would be a fun way to teach them. I have had to rely on

my breakthrough meds a little more than I like, plus the asthma is

trying to kick my butt too. The combination is making me

cranky....lol.

Anyhow, I said all that to say this. I don't believe blessings are

being held back from others or that has such a better life

than the rest of us; we all wax and wane and ebb and flow. I am glad

her water aerobics help her - I need to check into that myself, but a

big problem I have is overpowering scents and I'm afraid a commercial

pool is going to be over-chlorinated.

Marti, know that even as you hang out in your fav bathroom (that was

a joke btw....lolol....do you need any reading material???), I will

continually be lifting you in prayer. That the nausea ceases quickly,

that the pain that may be flaring in you eases. And that you will

know that you are being prayed for during this difficult time.

(((Hugs)))

Darlene

P.S. I relooked at what you said about fixed incomes; it does make

sense; I have a friend who is well-invested and she considers herself

on a fixed income because of the checks they receive (which is true

to a point) except what if you were never able to do that??? Like

me??? I don't have that to " fall back on " !

and have spent most of my time in the bathroom. Yes I am having meds

put by IV into my body and yes it is scaring me to death, but it is

what I have to do to maybe get better. I think I handle that as well

as you would.

on something like that and stop telling us how you control you life

so well with no meds and with your water aerobics. Say something to

make people feel better about their lives for a change.
