[bsusanmb]

I could use a few prayers myself though nothing as serious as Susan. I had bloodwork done at lunch today and my platelets are back down under 100. Now they still can go up in 3 days as I'm scheduled for chemo on Monday. If you have the time and are so inclined please say a prayer that they go back up and I can have chemo as scheduled.

Thank you all!

You are in my prayers, Mary.

One of my best friends from high school works here at the hospital and her husband does too. I have known him and his dad for over 30 years. He is about 55, and was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, had surgery, and was scheduled this am to see the oncologist. After my friend left for work this morning, he shot himself in the head. He was medivac'd to Hershey Medical Center. I have worked with people who have survived this and it is never good.

I can't imagine what my friend is going through.

Susan

Susan,
I'm so very sorry to hear this news. My prayers will be with you and your friend and all the family.

Congratulations to Susan on the and Congratulations to Sue on the

Oh My Gosh! Susan, what a sad situation! My dad had pancreatic cancer and I know how difficult it is for the family. I hope they have a good support group of family, neighbors, friends, co-workers, etc. to help her get through this. How sad!

Oh Mary, you'll receive a lot of too! I hope the platelets go back up so you can continue your scheduled treatment!

Well, it is a somber day today. Our friend's husband has died. Well, he was our friend also. He was dead on arrival at the hospital. He had lost a lot of weight in the past few months, and then he was admitted to the hospital rather in a rush with prostate cancer. He had said that the doctor told him that they "got it all". But I think that his cancer had metasticized. I think. He shot himself in the head. It is so sad. I don't know the entire medical story, but prostate cancer is so slow growing and so curable. Men live 20 to 30 years most times.

About 3 years ago my girlfriend had her colon removed due to ulcerative colitis. She was off work for 6 months. They gave her a temporary ileostomy and then they reattached her small intestine, giving her a pouch. She has to take antibiotics and lomotil for diarrhea every day.

They have a son and two young grandsons.

My heart just aches for them, and particularly for my girlfriend. I don't know how I would feel, but I know that I would be feeling that there must have been something I could have done, something I missed, hurt, anger, loneliness...

She is 59, like me, and has a very good job as business manager for nursing. She has 37 years of service at the VA and can retire. I think she will, I don't think she will have the strength to deal with all of this and work.

Well, friends, life is so precious. Take care,
Susan

Robbie - not sure what you mean about cruise number? Do you need this for something or were you just curious how many previous cruises the Wonder has taken?

Usually there is a number for the cruise similar to a "flight number" for an airline. I was looking it for it so that I could fill out some paperwork at work.

Question of the day

It has been a while so I though I would post one.

This is for any one that has sailed DCL before. Let’s give the first time cruisers an idea on why we go to one or the other.

When you first get on the Ship were to you go and eat Parrot Cay or Beach Blanket and Why?

Wow, I didn't know that there are 2 options for lunch on the first day.

Okay, guys! My question back to you.

I'm bringing along on this cruise my DBFF Gail. It is her very first cruise - of any kind! Which do you think she would be more impressed with?

 

[bsusanmb]

Thank you friends for your prayers and

I am going to spend a day of solitude tomorrow. DH is going golfing, and I will just stay home and reflect on my blessings.

You guys are the best!

Susan

 

[wltdsnyfan]

Okay, guys! My question back to you.

Sue,

If it is a nice day DBFF may enjoy sitting out side. If you sit on the side of the ship that faces the terminal you could watch the people getting on and them loading the luggage.

At Parrot Cay DBFF would get the island theme.

As you can see I am not much help.

Take care and have a good evening.

When does DH and DS come home?
