Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 , I will have to transfer the photos from my big computer to this one so will get to that later. When I stopped racing my imagination sort of went away. Some people need to have their ego fed to keep the brain churning and I guess I am one.

There is quite an art to that, I don't think most people realize. Do you ever just sit down and create more designs? nancy Re: Len I do have tons of scrapbooks and some models of our cars. Twice a fan would make a model of our car for us and give it to us. Some we made to test paint schemes. I can send you some photos of the good old days if you would like Nancey. I retired from the Coast Guard and then got cancer. I had another driving career after the cancer but that is awhole other storie.

Len >>>> Len, I'll look forward to seeing them when you feel like sending. Yes, it is necessary for the ego to be fed in order to keep the artistic juices flowing, it seems:) All it takes is one person saying how much they liked one of my pieces and I'm running to the studio to start 15 more!LOLOL Hey, sometime, when you have the time, I'd enjoy having you look at some of my pottery and give me some color scheme ideas. Would you consider that? nancy ---------- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hi, Len. I knew from reading the messages that people can't tolerate cold water. Thank you for explaining that hot water goes down easier. Appreciate it very much. Say hello to Verta! ~Deb from KS Len Henell wrote: Deb, If I drink Ice cold water right now it hurts my throat because of the chemo. If I drink room temperature water I can only drink half a glass and I am full. If I drink hot water, about like a pot of tea that has seeped, I can drink a whole glass at once. I think the cold water closes up my stomach and won't let but so much by. Len --- Fly to Deb wrote: --------------------------------- Hi, Len. Thanks for explaining that it was " hot " water, not " hit " water. I thought you meant " his " water. Len, my husband always drinks ice-cold water from the fridge. I never do that because it hurts my teeth. I keep a bottle of water on the counter and drink it room temperature. I can imagine that people on chemo would not like to drink cold water. Is there a reason Phil should drink hot water instead of room temperature water? If you have time, please post about that. Thank you so much. hagd ~Deb from KS Len Henell wrote: --- Len Henell wrote: THat was supposed to be hot water. -------------------------------- Phil is low on water. Feed him hit water.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Re: Len Hi Deb, You guys are doing a great job of waking me up. I don't have a lot of people in my life, other than a wonderful caring wife, but you are just what I need. Thank You. Len --- Fly to Deb wrote: --------------------------------- Hi, Len. Excuuuse me, but you cannot schedule your own death. I believe that everybody is going to live as long as they were destined to live, and nothing can change that. But I also believe in prayer. God answers prayer. When a doctor says only a few months or a couple of years left, he is not God. He does not really know. He (or she) is only guessing. Yes, death is hard to talk about, and we always talk about how to help ourselves or our loved ones, and don't want to think about death. But talking about death as the inevitable, with a resigned attitude, will not help us. We have to remember there is always hope. Did you see the recent news of a vaccine for cancer of the cervix? Is that not amazing? Yes it is. Everyone has to fight this cancer and hang on as long as you can. New procedures, techniques, methods, vaccines, treatments, etc. can come at any time. Len, I am glad that you come here and give us advice. We count on your knowledge. We admire your courage. You are an inspiration. Don't give up. Don't give up hope. Please watch this short clip with your speakers on. It is tender and moving. http://i.euniverse.com/funpages/cms_content/2529/4candles.swf ~Deb from KS Len Henell wrote: Hi Deb, Call your son Sam and tell him you are dying, then tell him that he is dying, then explain that we are all dying and not talking about it leaves it in that dark closet that scares everybody. Talking about it brings it out into the bright light and makes it managable. The language of cancer is scary because everyone assumes it belongs in the dark closet with the words of death. They all need to be brought out into the light so we won't fear any of them. Talk about how the world will be effected by their death. How does it feel to die? I have death on my schedule for probably next year but I look at it as a limit for all the things I need to do. That's all it is. Every second counts.

God willing I will get over this. But it may take a while. I am hoping when the clocks change at the end of this month it might help. Will we get an extra hour of sleep? I think so. haha Yes, the cancer affects every one, in different ways. Our middle son, , lives 97 miles away from us. He never calls and Sam was complaining to me that our own son does not even care about him as much as neighbors and friends do. The doctor calls Sam more than does! I talked with our son about it. I said, even if you don't want to call your dad, even if you hate him, he loves you and he wants to hear your voice. said he loves his dad, but he is having a hard time to cope with this cancer, surgery, chemo and radiation. It is all so unpleasant. Unpleasant is my word. He said something else. LOL He said he tries not to think about it, and that is why he never calls. called Sam the next day and he told me that he is going to call his dad more often. Ingrid, you are right. We have to talk about things. Our family is struggling with this, but I do believe that we are talking more, and with God's help we can overcome this. Thanks for your prayers. xoxoxo ~Deb from KS > > Deb from KS, Don't you even dare thinking about leaving us. Leave > another group!!!!
