Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Ingrid, !!! ~ " the one with the smoothest trot " ~ !!! You couldn't have meant that, that would really hurt your healing ribs. How about a nice easy lope/canter. Mega congratulations on you CEA and blood counts. You go girl. Karima Re: To Ingrid Thanks Janet, I will give you a call this weekend to tell you what the ONC said. I did break down and called today aobut the bloodwork and CEA. CEA is down. Yippee!!!!!!!! Blood work is all normal. So I guess it is not low blood counts that are my problem. Talked to the nurse there and told her how I still get tired in the afternoon. She was one of my chemo nurses. She asked if I was doing the horses and all the othr stuff. Told her yep, cooking, house keeping and all. She reminded me that I had two major surgeries very close apart. Yeah, six days apart. Told me that is the whole reason. She said it may take up to six months to get back to normal. I intend to get there before that!!!!! I want to start riding my horses again. Been thinking about that real seriously. Even decided which one to start with. The one with the smoothest trot. My aching ribs demand the smoothest horse. LOL Talk to you over the weekend. Ingrid p.s. My invite for your family to come down and let the kids ride is still open!!!! > Ingrid, > You have been through so much. You will get through this and it will be okay. Keep the faith.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Dear Ingrid, I am so happy that things are okay with you. I am also sorry it has taken me this long to respond to your post and everyone else. We had a chance to go to Canada on a fishing trip. We are with the kids in Lake of the Woods Ontario and it is a much needed vacation after all that has gone on the last year. I will call you when we get back. I wish you all the best and everything turns out well for everybody. Janet Ingrid Lowe lowenco@...> wrote: Thanks Janet, I will give you a call this weekend to tell you what the ONC said.
