Janine, I think we could all use some right now. Too bad I only have 10 valium and there is not way I can send them through the net. I would share if I could.

At least we have this wonderful place to 'sound off' it does help a little. We all have our problems and our's feel at times to be more important and critical than other's, but I am sure that when we share them here, we get some serious comfort, sometimes more that what we get at 'home'.

CBW - what is family nowadays? Your children might be a pain right now, but you will eventually be rewarded, I promise. You're absolutely wonderful.

Start.. I know that you are there for everybody, and taking on the whole world is a hard job, so please make sure that you do something nice for yourself - that's an order... I love you and don't want you to go crazy on me.

In my current opinion, this place is a lot better and cheaper than a psychiatrist and there is always someone here 24/7 - what more can we ask for in this beautiful garden. I think I'll include some flowers...

Love you all.

Lucky for us, Thomas is getting snipped, I don't think I can put up with it again either. Come sit by me CBW, we can wallow together... love the tree by the way. My tree is just plain jane. Every year since I was born my godparents gave me a unique ornament, and so when I moved ou on my own, I had 20 of my very own special things to put on the tree... I love it. No color coordination or anything. Now I have 25 ornaments, plus the ones Connor has started collecting. Our tree is a beautiful hodgepodge.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_11_2.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNfox000) Did somebody ask for an e-mooney?? Well, here it is.

Well folks, getting packed and ready for my visit to hospital tomorrow. I hope to be back by Wednesday. They want to do a bronchoscopy and take some more tissue out.

I just went over some other reports and found out that I've had fibromyalgia ever since my 20's. (this explains a lot to me and my daughter agrees that she has a better insight of my complaints and depressions and why Idon't like going places that take all day just because the pain takes the joy away.) But this doctor of mine, never thought of this when I went to him for help. That's why my neurologist suggested I get a better primary clinician. Until then, he will support me and write the appropriate documents for the insurance companies and the retirement beurocrats. He will also attest that valium has been the best treatment and will also send me further up the beurocratic ladder to obtain legal cannabis due to all the other diagnoses now.

Too bad it took so long to finally get someone to identify and help... so I'm not going crazy after all.

Will keep you posted.

Fibromyalgia can be helped immensely with massage. Good luck Chery!

Thanks hon. Been there, done that, and my doctor never took it serious. When I could afford it, I even tried accupuncture, but this is from head to toe, burning heels, neck, migranes, the whole works, even back and hips, sleeplessness and tremors. That's why he sent me to a psychiatrist who cold not find any psychological reason, except that I had depression and personality changes and that came from the constant pain I have through degenerative spine and arthritis too.. So... I guess I GO FIGURE.

But, like I said, I'm not giving up and at least now someone is taking my symptoms seriously instead of writing it off as psychological only. That's a start.

C.U. in a few days, I hope.

Thank you all for your warm support. I'm sorry to be such a complainer right now, but sometimes I just cannot help being angry, and need someone to talk to other than my dear daughter.

We went to the zoo today, and I got to help Alexander feed the goats and sheep there. He was such a well-behaved 15 month old that he made me forget a little of my pain.

And, I cannot imagine what I would do without all you wonderful folks.

Chery hun, don't worry about being a "complainer" right now. You have every right. I would give anything to be with you in person rather than just in spirit.

You just complain away dearheart, we are here to listen. As I said earlier, wish you were back here in the states, Kentucky, then you know I would be with you every chance I got.

Janine and Angel, you do wonders for me with such great "bedside manners". As you can tell, I feel like a 'rambunctious patient' already. Not even packed yet,
I was hoping that I could move into the smaller apartment when I got back, but there is no room for my dishwasher, freezer,washer, dryer, microwave,and stove.. and I'm not willing to give that up. I guess my ex, who is also my son-in-law's dad, does not think I need those little comforts. The place is in his building, but the apartment belongs to son-in-law and it would have been 150 Euro cheaper. My ex is probably laughing his butt off right now, he enjoys it when I get disappointed.
So, I cannot pay the rent this month, but he cannot throw me out, legalities in Germany are on my side for a change - which surprises me. It would probably take a year to get rid of me and I just might not live that long anyway, so he's SOL in that instance. The 'system' will actually make him look for a new place and help me move and I don't think he wants to bother with it. He likes me to stay around so that he can stress me out more. I got news for him, he cannot play his emotional games with me anymore because I have more important things on my mind and he does not even rate the upper 100 issues. I used to earn over 2500 Euro a month, and now only get 600, so it's a big fall down the 'social ladder', but others have to survive with less, and I darned well will do my best to manage. After all I did for him, he should have been paying me, and it tickles me at the thought that he will never find someone who will take care of him the way I did, in every way, without him having to pay for it in the future... LMAO...
As mentioned before, after this hospitalization, my past stroke, and new diagnosis, I might get more help from the 'welfare' beurocrats and right now that would suit me just fine. I paid my dues for this and my retirement fund for the last 30 years and now it's time for me to collect - if you know what I mean. I'm usually too proud to use such as welfare, but I paid, and that's better than most here in Germany who never worked, never paid their dues and abuse the system to no end.
So, my friends, I'm so glad I have all of you to comfort me in my time of need and appreciate it more than you'll ever know.

Going to take my laptop with me, not net, but I'll fill my notepad with lost of thoughts and play a few games while witing for the tests. I hate just sitting around doing nothing.. so at least I'll have something fun to do.

Talk to you when I get back.

Love,
Chery

What a day! Connor had his MRI, I don't know the results, but I really need another day just to recover. Watching them sedate him was horrible... and then afterwards he was so agitated, it was scary to see my sweet little boy so cranky... strangly after some caffeine (dr.s orders), he fell asleep but when he woke up again, he was so slurred and dizzy I basically had to hold him the rest of the day to keep him from falling off something... luckily the happy juice they gave him before had has an amnesia effect, he doesn't remember anything after that nose spray... I never thought giving him an IV would make me cry, but it did... well, back to work then to bed. Night.

Yeah, it was hard... I couldn't watch the MRI because of the pregnancy so I just had to wait until they carried him back in. I hope that's the end of all this for a while. He's been in and out of the hospital more than I have in my whole life. Happy halloween all!

I am love, I am. This may just be another close call as we had a 160 slide powerpoint on the musculoskeletal system and there was NO lecture due to a family emergency of the instructor who was going to lecture.

So, all of us in class are preparing to get low scores. But I'm still safe if I get anywhere in the 70% range, just can't get lower than that or will really have to get a high score on the final. As it sits right now I only have to get a 50% on the final to pass.

(We have to have an 80% overall, including all 6 tests and the final). So, I'm still sitting pretty. Well, back to Pediatric Nursing Made Incredibly Easy questions.

Gosh Start... that sounds wonderful. The hospital food was yucky as usual, but I was not that hungry anyway. I spend most of my time in the basement smoking lounge. Met some nice people there, if you can call a bunch of sick people 'nice'. The hospital was over crowded because three other hospital in the area were all full and they sent their 'surplus' here.

The cytology report was in... advanced adenocarcinoma and already in lymphnodes too. So.. when I said thanks and can I go, the doc was upset because he was sure that he could cut and do some chemo just to keep me there a little longer. I told him that's not my style and that I want to spend the time I have left enjoying my family and friends, my cat, my LIFE, and that did not entail being in a hospital bed having unsuccessful treatment done to keep me doped up and alive just so that they get paid.. I talked to a few clinician friends in radiology and anesthesiology, my daughter also came for a talk with the doc, and I told him what my choice was. His bedside manner was nasty after that, but I'm home now and cleaning up, making plans to visit people and do the beurocratic crap that's necessary. I actually look forward to having a good time for as long as I can. I even had the option to choose what meds I want because I told them no Morphine and no Tramal - two mind killers and puckendorsers. I'm doing OK and still have a clear head for now. The conceited idiot did not even want to tell me what stage I have right now, but he had to . He's just upset that he could not talk me into being a normal obedient german patient that thinks doctors are Gods. So now, I'm busy checking out what life insurance I have, looking for my roots on my father's side in Kentucky, and looking for my ex-husband to let him know he's a grandfather if he has not OD'd already somewhere. Rick_J has offered help in that direction and I hope he's successful.

Right now I'm taking paracetamol with codeine (also a type of morphiate, but does not make me sick)and it feels wonderful not having any pain for a change.and I'm enjoying my Sci-Fi evening on TV, stargate, heroes, and battlestar galactica. But I had to come on in here and give you all a follow-up and let you know I'll be here for as long as I can, but am also going to raise some hell in this part of the world.

Well, you know what they say about humor being the best medicine, and I'd rather be happy than depressed and worried all the time. I will leave that up to others from now on and do things I enjoy doing. I still love being there for others and love to make them laugh - at least that way they will have fonder memories of me. Although, there are a few who will never forget me because I also have a 'revenge' list, just a little one, but they deserve it. - that is if I have time...
First I want to write a few books for my grandson, create a few games and coloring books for him too, and videotape some love and advice for special times in his future - my way of being there for him.

So... my attitude right now is to hell with the dishes - they can wait, or I'll just use paper plates from now on.

In both hands? Could be just a few nerves being pressed on. Carpal tunnel did that to me and then moved on to the ulna and surgery helped. Also in both hands.. Would be great if we could just call on "roto rooter".

Chery, you are one courageous lady and you have my everlasting respect for taking control of your life and living it on your terms. Quality over quantity is a no-brainer, in my book.

I have some family roots in Kentucky and have done a little genealogical research. If I can be of help on that project, let me know.


It's amazing what you think about when you get told you don't have much time left.
I'll bet that's right. All the deaths that have come close to me have been sudden and unexpected, so that's a little different for both the leaver and the leavee. I'm sure it's not easy either way, but I have wished for the chance to say goodbyes and express more fully the love that was there between us. I'm sure you'll make the most of your opportunity.


I also have a 'revenge' list, just a little one, but they deserve it. - that is if I have time...
It sounds like you have a pretty full schedule already. I'm guessing revenge will never get to the top of your to-do list.

Lady, you have my deep respect. I'm so glad you have the courage to take what YOU want out of life!

Let's just say that I honor and respect you, and send you a ton of love and "good thoughts".Synnen,
I warmly and humbly accept your love and good thoughts. You probably have an idea of how many people think I'm crazy for not trying to do everything (or let everything be done) to gain each extra moment of life. I have even been secretly told by the wonderful nurses on the ward that they respect and honor my decision and feel the same way, even though they are not supposed to endorse it.

There have been others who think that I am "stupid" for not trying everything... but I don't see any point in just existing and enduring the control others would have over me - it would be so degrading and I so much want to keep as much dignity as I can and feel it's my right to want that.

I am so glad that you don't think me a fool because I do respect your opinions and I don't want anyone ever to feel sorry for me - that never has been and never will be included in my purpose in life. We all have our crosses to bear and we all want what's best for us and our loved ones, but there comes a point where we've all had enough of others having even this power over us.


I nursed my mother for three years with her emphysema, watching her get worse, and seeing the pain in her eyes, the helplessness and fear of the unknown.. and even though I hated for for how she treated me all my life, I felt sorry that she had to suffer so much knowing that this would not have been her choice either.

While in the hospital for only three days this time, my other two 'room-mates' were in their 70's and 80's. One had bone cancer, on highest level of morphine, and everyone was waiting for her to 'depart' During this time, the only thing that she could still do on her own was scream in pain all day - which naturally annoyed others. But they knew nothing of her live or what she had to share and offer the world before she became what they saw of her. When she finally went, I was relieved for her because she no longer had to suffer and put up with more degrading treatments. The other one was transferred from a private room to our room because her daughter had power of attorney and decided that she could just as well die in a cheaper room. Even though I had my own shock, pain and problems, I thought to myself "what did these poor women do to deserve this". I don't think either one would have chosen to wind up like that. Did anyone around them even think of what these women contributed to their families and others before this all happened?

My number is not in the phonebook, but I did share it with a few younger ones who's relatives want them to keep going, and they also don't want to wind up as permanent residents in a hospital or a home somewhere - it's the relatives who don't want them to make that choice for quality, also stringent religion. So, needless to say, I made a few friends and get a lot of calls. Just goes to prove, we are not alone.

I know that these last few posts have been a little long for the 'secret garden' but it's my life-line right now and I feel the need to be with friends like you, and I thank you all for letting me share it.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_33_21.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNfox000) My cat Larry is 15 and not in the best of health either, but I promised him we'd share the rest of our time together.

Oh, the hands, pretty common. I had it with all 4 pregnancies. You got some excess swelling going on?

Chery,

I respect you and applaud you for making the decision you have. You are a very brave, smart and strong woman.

Quality is indeed more important than quantity. I had to help my mother make that decision earlier this summer. She was not ready to let go, but understood that Dad would not be happy lying in a bed with diapers and being dependent on others for his every need.

You are a very strong woman, and I am better to have "known" you.

Just know that your cyber family will be here to support you in all of your decisions at this important time of your life.

Chery... again, wow. I'm humbled that you think my opinions are worth reading! You're such a strong woman, I really hope to someday be as strong!

Seriously... I hope that you get to live every moment you have left to its absolute fullest. What's funny--I have yet to feel sorry for you. Of course, I'm sorry that you have only the time left that you do--but none of us really knows how much time we have left, do we? I'm glad that you're sure enough of yourself to make your own decisions about it, really.

Chery, you are one courageous lady and you have my everlasting respect for taking control of your life and living it on your terms. Quality over quantity is a no-brainer, in my book.

I have some family roots in Kentucky and have done a little genealogical research. If I can be of help on that project, let me know.


I'll bet that's right. All the deaths that have come close to me have been sudden and unexpected, so that's a little different for both the leaver and the leavee. I'm sure it's not easy either way, but I have wished for the chance to say goodbyes and express more fully the love that was there between us. I'm sure you'll make the most of your opportunity.


It sounds like you have a pretty full schedule already. I'm guessing revenge will never get to the top of your to-do list.

Hey ordinaryguy, believe it or not, my Dad is from Hazard, Kentucky.. guess that's why I always liked the "dukes"...
His name is Robert Cornelius Davidson and he was born in 1927 (I think). I was hoping to find him or connect with others in the family to learn a little about my roots there, but no luck so far. He was in the Army when they had an RA number instead of a Social Security number and I don't know either one.. Since my mom wanted to keep me away from him, she did not tell me much. When I was young I always imagined that I belonged to the Harley-Davidson clan. It really would be nice to know and pass on some history to my grandson. Rick_J has also offered his assistance in that area.

There is so much art, love, advice and experience that I want to share and pass on, it seems like the days aren't long enough now. It's great when you don't have time to be depressed anymore. I already made a list of those I want to invite to the New Year's Eve Party and sending invitations out already. Of course all of you are invited, so if there is a PC around that evening, we'll be sharing hugs, kisses and well wishes all around the world.

Am also making a 'catalog' of games, coloring books I made in PDF, and other software that I will make available because I think it's a shame to just let them be discarded after I paid for them and know others can benefit. So.. our AMHD computer gurus will have to guide me on how to make them available directly from my IP so that I can invite you to 'come and get it'.

Revenge, well, just a little, but I spend only a few minutes of time on it. One thing for sure, if approached by those on my list, I have some preplanned few words ready. Won't waste my time seeking them out though..

Gosh, my head is really full of things to do and it just tickles me pink.

Glad everything is okay with theo. Sounds like he is growing right on target.

Oh, the hands, pretty common. I had it with all 4 pregnancies. You got some excess swelling going on?

Chery,

I respect you and applaud you for making the decision you have. You are a very brave, smart and strong woman.

Quality is indeed more important than quantity. I had to help my mother make that decision earlier this summer. She was not ready to let go, but understood that Dad would not be happy lying in a bed with diapers and being dependent on others for his every need.

You are a very strong woman, and I am better to have "known" you.

Just know that your cyber family will be here to support you in all of your decisions at this important time of your life.

Hey Janine, don't worry, I'm not gone yet and we'll get to know each other a lot more in this wonderful cyberfamily.

When I tell some of these German closed-minded people that the Scotts and Irish celebrate the passing of friends and family out of respect and love, they look at me as if I'm nuts... It has a lot to do with mentality. AMEN to QUALITY, DIGNITY and FOND MEMORIES! What more can we ask for?

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/13/13_1_104v.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNfox000) So.. come and join me and we'll be Scottish or Irish for a while.
Just found out that there is a hugh Davidson Clan from Scottland so maybe that's where I get my bouncyness from.

Chery the point of the garden is to talk with your friends you make it as long as as short as you feel you need to we dont mind and love you all the more for sharing.

Thanks Laura (cybermom). My favorite flowers are carnations, so I will find some nice ones to add to the garden. Maybe I'll hide a few smileys in the bunch. Will also upload the floral coloring books (once I make them a little smaller) to a place like YouSendIt.Com so that they can be downloaded by all you moms for those beautiful children. Something special from Chery.
Maybe Ben and the Crew can come up with one email address where I can use as recipient and they can be collected by everyone from that one address. So, another idea I just came up with, boy I'm just full of it.. literally.

Just had a nice talk with Jaime, it was loving, bouncy, we laughed a lot and I actually feel happy today. That's something I've missed for a long time. I told her about my cyber family and she asked me to thank all of you for being there for me. She knows how I've felt lonely and unloved for so long that she is relieved that I don't have to be anymore. I feel that this took a lot of weight off her shoulders and that she feels happy for me too. Going to have some fun on her birthday on Saturday. I am giving her a PrincessHouse Crystal pitcher and glasses with poppy pattern.
My grandson likes to help mom sweep in the house, so for him I got this little 'cleaning person's' cart with broom, mop, bucket and rags with spray bottles, squeegy, etc. When I saw it in the toy section I thought it was so cute and just what he will enjoy playing with when he helps mom clean house. Was going to save it for Christmas, but can't wait and he needs something to keep him busy so that we gals can talk.

A lot of preggies get numbness in their legs, you're just built different and got it in the hands, That's just my opinion, but sometimes I'm right.

Talk to you tomorrow.

ON ANOTHER NOTE... WHEN I READ THIS IT GOT TO ME... because I'm a miliary 'brat' from way back..

My Dad and Stepdad were both WWII veterans, and when I read the mail that sent the following link it really bothered me. On my stepdas's funeral, they did the whole bit, flag, seven-gun salute and taps. It gave me goosebumps and made me feel proud that my dad fought for his country.

I'm not religious, but I feel in my heart that a tradition like this should not be stopped just because of ignorance. Please check the following link out and let me know how you feel about this - are things going a little too far? And, if you think this tradition should be kept, please pass it on.

Since Vietnam, our troops have been treated like aliens too many times, they were just following orders and I believe they deserve to be honored.

Dr. Laura (http://www.drlaura.com//action/index.html?mode=view&tile=1&id=14918)

I got the link from Mary Montoya, and she wrote the following to ask me to check out the link she included above. Just put what she mailed in quotes but could not maintain her fonts and formatting, but I'm sure you can read it just as well, and please do.





Now I want to give you the second part of the problem, and it’s so obnoxious, that it’s hard for me to even write. By the way, there’s nothing in the Constitution that bans religion. Our Constitution disallows the state to have a religion that we all have to follow, but it doesn’t ban religion. That is so abused by the atheists trying to take God out of everything, that I’m tired of it, and we have to fight back. This is the moment to fight back, and I’ll give you the address on how to do it.


A complaint - one, lousy complaint….one! - made this happen. The complaint about the recitation for the 11th fold, which says “in the eyes of a Hebrew citizen, represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob” garnered a complaint at the California cemetery and prompted the ban. One lousy comment!
By the way, the 12th fold recitation is geared to Christians, saying “the fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies in their eyes God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.” It’s just terrible…just terrible, as one World War II Navy veteran, Bobby Castillo, 85, said: “It’s a slap in the face to every veteran. When we got back from the war, we didn’t ask for a whole lot. We just want to give our veterans the respect they deserve. No one has ever complained about us. I just don’t understand.” He is part of a 16-member detail that has performed military honors at more than 1,400 services. They were preparing to read the flag-folding remarks at the Riverside (CA) cemetery when graveyard staff stopped them.


Charlie Waters, parliamentarian for the American Legion of California said he’s advising Memorial Honor Details to ignore the edict. “This is nuts,” Walter said. “There are 26 million veterans in this country and they’re not going to take us all to prison.”
So, I’m very grateful to Representative Heath Shuler (D-NC), and I think we have to join in turning this around. This is disgusting. You take a tradition that’s been going on for so long, and because one person doesn’t want to hear “God,” it stops? No. Let’s turn this around. Turn this completely around, and this is how you’re going to do it.

Wait, wait wait...

I can't disagree with that, I'm sorry, Chery.

If the family wants it, if the soldier was Christian--they can still do it!

However--I'm NOT Christian. If I served my country, and then was slapped in the face at burial with a god I don't believe in, I'd be royally ticked off.

However many Christians there are in the military (and I'm sure they outnumber any other religion), I can't forget that it took FOUR YEARS in the courts for a simple symbol to be allowed to be used by Veterans in cemeteries, especially Arlington National Cemetary--the Wiccan pentacle wasn't recognized by the government as a valid religious symbol.

So... no. I'm not mad that Christians have to ask for special consideration at their ceremonies--just like every OTHER religion out there.

I'm sorry if that upsets you, and I understand the traditional side of things, but I really can't sympathize with the Christians that are so upset that they're being treated as equals to all other religions, rather than favored as they have been since the inception of our country.

Hey ordinaryguy, believe it or not, my Dad is from Hazard, Kentucky.. guess that's why I always liked the "dukes"...
His name is Robert Cornelius Davidson and he was born in 1927 (I think). I was hoping to find him or connect with others in the family to learn a little about my roots there, but no luck so far. He was in the Army when they had an RA number instead of a Social Security number and I don't know either one.. Since my mom wanted to keep me away from him, she did not tell me much. When I was young I always imagined that I belonged to the Harley-Davidson clan. It really would be nice to know and pass on some history to my grandson. Rick_J has also offered his assistance in that area.
I searched three free genealogy search sites (links below) but didn't get any matches based just on name, date of birth, and born in Kentucky (I assumed. Is it true?). If you go to each site and fill in all the information you know, like your mother's name (spouse), date of marriage, or parents' (your grandparents) names, etc you might get something. Each site is different in terms of what other identifying information they can use in the search.

It’s gone all dark here the rain is pouring down. That’s what we get for talking about the Sun.

My sister’s son is ten years old and she goes with four or five women she met at antenatal of all places. They just kept in touch and became quite close. They have parties for each of the kids birthdays, meet up for other stuff, and the women take off once a year with the kids for a week at Centre Parcs. So next time you’re there look for a bunch of women with ten year olds and younger around the pool. Her name is Margaret. Tell her Rose said hello. ;)

:D You know when you are in a room, and all of a sudden the room dims but no light was turned off... all morning long the sun has been peeking in and out, in and out... so if you guys get here (start looking outside) in about 2 minutes it will be sunny, looks like there is going to be another break in the clouds!:p Good day to all of you... hope you see the sun soon!
