Talk about your troubles

[DesertRose]

JLuvs, QueenB and Dberk, your loved ones are in my thoughts.

Gutmutter, you are still always in my thoughts.

[combatcutie]

queenb and dberk, you are both in my prayers also

[Marleybone]

dberk - Hang in there, this will get better but in the meantime you know we're here for ya.

JLuvs and queenb - Same goes for you.

[Gutmutter]

Jluvs - so sorry about your dad. Keep us posted. QueenB - how scary for your husband. Hope they can figure out what's causing it and a way to help. dberk - I'm sorry your mom is having such a hard time post-surgery. I hate pain pills. I hate anti-nausea pills. Cancer sucks. I had my first radiation appointment today but will post in good news about that. Everywhere I look these days there are breast cancer ads. Is it just me and my awareness of it, or has it suddenly become high profile?

October is Breast Cancer awareness month - lots of exposure.

[Gutmutter]

Aha! How did I not know that?

My son's health just seems really wierd lately. He's almost 6, and full of beans, but he's been coughing for over a month now. Initially it was an awful cough, and it's not so bad now, but still. And he's constipated, and he has a persistent bloody nose on one side, and now - tonight- I notice he's got dark circles under his eyes. What is up with him? The doctor has finally stopped poo-poohing me, and the kid got x-rayed last week and had blood tests, so maybe we'll know soon. Don't like it though. My niece got sick around the same age, and ended up needing a liver transplant at age 16, so it's like dejavu (all over again).

Yeah, apparently you can stick a pink ribbon on anything, donate 10 cents to breast cancer awareness, and it will sell like hotcakes. I mean, I am all for helping the cause, but I think the stamps are a great idea- you need stamps anyway, so pay a few extra cents per stamp, that money goes to the cause, and I don't have a leather jacket wearing bear on a motorcycle with a pink ribbon junking up my place. I swear, I think that they must pull out the old inventory, slap a pink ribbon on the product and voila! (Of course, that is simply my opinion and I have bought my share of pink ribbon pens, Day Timer pages, etc. so I should shut up. )

I'm sorry to hear about all the troubles. queenb, dberk, lildago, and giz, I will keep your hurting family members in my prayers. (hope I didn't miss anyone who has posted recently!)
