Wow Dianne,

I just came across these posts. It reminds me of so many situations I encountered less than two years ago. Events going on, traffic congestion, etc. but we just keep going and do what we have to do don’t we? I had a similar situation with a doctor (actually a nurse practitioner I found out later) in the ER at one point and later on I went in and filed a complaint. I don’t know if it did any good, but it made me feel better to let my feelings be known. No one, patient or care giver deserves to be treated like that. We are under enough stress and trying to deal with so much as it is and then to be blasted like that is just not right. These are supposed to be educated, professional people and they should know better than to treat people like that. I hope things improve for your Dad in the next few days.

I sure hope we can work this out. It will be great if we can all get together.

I will add my Happy Birthday Wayne to Lainy’s. I agree, you are doing better and I too see a little humor there. The sunrise/sunset idea is great. And yes, Wayne will always be beside you, with you and in you in your heart and your memories. I am glad that the therapy is helping. Hugs are always good & crying is relieving and yes the angels are all around us.

Love & Hugs,
Darla

Kris,

You are definately not a statistic. No one knows what is to come for any of us. Everyone is different and things are changing so much. Keep your attitude of being realistically postive. It has worked for 3 1/2 years and I hope it will work for many more.

Thinking of you.

Snezzie,

I have been following your posts and although I don’t have the answers as it is all so unpredictable and different for each person, but just try not to get too far ahead of yourself. Take it as it comes, one day at a time or it just gets too overwhelming. You definately are not alone. We are all here for you. Come back as often as you want or need to even if it is just to vent. I too am hoping for the best for you.

Oh Lainy,

Not the news any of us wanted to hear. I am no expert, (although I am beginning to feel like I know more than I ever wanted to know about CC). I have never heard of that chemo theory either and I think you are right to research this further and then go with your gut. I guess all we can do is the best we can do and only Teddy and you can decide what is best. I would chose quality over quantity, but who knows, maybe he can have both. He is the “Miracle Man” after all! Keep the attitude it will make a difference.

Thinking of you both.

Hugs & Love,
Darla

Oh Kirstin,

I wish I had some answers for you, but unfortunately I don’t. I feel so badly for you. You don’t need all the pain and frustration. I am glad to hear you have gotten some relief of the symptoms but at what cost? It just doesm’t seem right that there is nothing that can be done and you should have to just learn to live with this situation. There has to be something that can be done. I am hoping that someone will pop in with some suggestions for you.

I will be hoping something can be done and you will be able to get back here to Wisconsin to be with your Grandma and the rest of your family.

Try to hang in there. Come back here and complain all you want. Hopefully venting will help a little and we are all here ready and willing to listen.

Take care Kirstin.

Love & Hugs,
Darla

Tommy,

I have been following Judy’s progress and hope things continue to improve for her. No it is not weird to get excited and hopeful. It’s amazing how our priorities change when faced with situations like this. We realize what is really important in our lives and also what is not. Hoping for the best for you and your family. Take care Tommy.
