Does anyone have or has anyone even HEARD of anybody with problems with the

pouch? Should I demand a colonoscopy first? Cause there's that issue too,

to make sure that is clean. They better do one now in my opinion - even

though the year isn't up until March. Guess I am playing the waiting game now

myself. Can I just go to sleep and wake up when it is over? I hate the months

January through March the worst - shame Maura and will be having

their 5th and 6th birthdays in these months, sigh.

Take care guys, pray for my patience to at least get through this weekend

without biting someone's head off.

Hi Pat.... how are you making it through the weekend?? Bit off any

heads, yet?? LOL Have you told your Onc. about your winter depression...

there

are meds for this and all kinds of depression that make life worth living

and take away some of the anxiety. It's a chemical imbalance in the brain and

nothing, but NOTHING, to be ashamed of. Glenn is on Celexa now and was on

Ritalin (for depression and gave him a tiny boost of energy) while going

through chemo last year. I need to get to the dr. myself, as I'm becoming very

emotional (the weather is not helping at all) and it takes a couple weeks for

these meds to kick in and be helpful.

It's so scary when so many things are going on at one time...we've had this

with Glenn several times in the last 2.5 yrs. and sometimes you wonder what

the heck they are waiting for?? If it were me, tho, I would ask for a

colonoscopy.

No you can't go to sleep and wake up in April...unless I can do it with

you!!! LOL

You can't, though, because you have 2 darling children that will be having

birthdays...and that's going to give you a reason to forge forward and get the

birthdays done!!

Praying for you, Pat, and please let us know what happens on Tues.

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle

Caregiver to Glenn
