Kathy, I'm so happy to hear all of the good news. Get some rest, take care of your brother... and do something goofy this weekend. Just to say you did.

 

[mom3sonstt]

Sorry Ihave been MIA for a couple weeks. I am so happy to hear that your mammogram results were good news and that your brothers surgery was less problematic than initially thought. Lots of hugs and continued well wishes for good health for you and yours....

 

[marvali]

Just wanted to say HI Kathy!!!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Morning Kathy. Just wanted to say hello and see how you're doing today.

 

[that's nice]

Hey Kathy!!!!

I hope you had a good weekend.... mine was super busy. Still praying for you and your brother. I hope everything is going ok.

 

[MickeyNicki]

I think Kathy is sleeping in since I had the nerve to wake her up at 8am her time on a Sunday morning....

How dare you... you probably were eating breakfast at a POSH disney restaurant with a few fellow Disers too!!

I think she welcomed that call, she said she enjoyed talking to Karin!!!!

Extremely posh..it was the Cape May character breakfast after all

I think she welcomed that call, she said she enjoyed talking to Karin!!!!

I was so glad when she FINALLY answered the phone! I mean, its not like I didnt tell her that I would be calling her after breakfast

 

[LaniesMom]

Ok, I haven't been Dising since I don't have a trip planned (and you know how I feel about being here without a trip planned...) so I didn't know you already started a PTR;
but now I'm finally here, all caught up and ready to continue. Happy to hear your brother is recovering.
Now I have to go play some more Wheel of Fortune on that other place we like to hang out on
xoxo

Excellent news, for both of you! First, this is for you Kathy for your clear mammogram! Yay!

And this one is for your brother and your family for his successful surgery! Wonderful news, they didn't have to take any of his bowel. That is an answer to prayer then since I'm sure it would have been much more difficult to recover from. I'm so glad it went well. Wow, so it was the mesh netting that caused his bowel issues? I'm glad the dr. was smart enough to remove it then. Continued prayers for a rapid recovery for him.

Thank you, Molly. You are a good friend.

Hurray for clean scans!!!

Glad that they did not have to remove anything. Hope your brother recovers quickly.

Now all we need is good news on the roof.

Thanks, Mary. Hope to hear something on the roof this week (I think, however, that we are going to be okay wtih that).

What a hard couple of weeks you've had, Kathy! I"m so glad that things, although you're utterly exhausted, are better today. That's super news about clear scans and successful surgery for Bob! So glad about both!

Get some rest, dear friend!

Thanks, Liesa...I appreciate it. I'm still exhausted and may actually take Friday or Monday off just to try to relax and do nothing.

Kathy-
I'm so glad it wasn't as bad as they originally thought. It still sounds like he will have a long recovery. I'll continue to keep your brother in my prayers.

Thank you, Tim. I'll be praying for Ana on Friday.

Truly wonderful news, Kathy! So happy for you and your brother. But what an incredibly stressful day you had.

Tina, thank you. It was so great talking to you on the phone yesterday.

Glad your brother is okay and that you had anormal mammogram !1I sooo know that feeling !!!!!Hope things continue to go well for you!!!

Thank you, Rosie.

Great news for both you and your brother!

Time to take a deep breath and let all that stress go.

Rest Easy.

Pat, thanks for the good wishes. I think I need a massage to get all the "stress" out of me.

Wow Kathy, first of all great news on four years without the cancer!!!

Secondly, even though it was still some tough surgery, and there is still a ways to go with the recovery, I know everyone is happy that it was not as bad as it sounded. I'm so glad prayers were answered and the doctors had the wisdom and guidance to find the real problem and take care of it. I know you are all relieved about the news and hopefully you will get some well deserved rest tonight!!!
and much my Dear, and I will continue to keep everyone in my thoughts and prayers until your brother is back on his feet again!

Marv, you are a gem. Thank you so much.

 

[KatMark]

Excellent news on your mammogram and your brothers surgery. I'm glad all went well for both.

Thank you. I'm very happy with how things turned out for both of us.

Kathy,

That's great news on your mammo and your brother!

I hope that your brother feels better soon.

Thanks, Sophia. How are you feeling?

My thoughts exactly! Well said, Marvali.

Kathy, your news made my morning - I am so happy and grateful the mammo was clear!!! Your brother's surgery is also wonderful news and our prayer will be with him as he recovers. After my recent surgery the not lifting more than 5 lbs had to be extended from the 6 to 8 weeks to 4 mos, so please encourage him not to be tempted to lift more as he heals and feels better.

Hope you had a good nights rest. Love ya, my friend!!

Thanks, Christine. I still need a couple of more nights of "real rest", but that will wait until Bob is home.

Wonderful news on your mammogram Kathy I can only imagine how relieving that must be And great news too regarding your brother
Now get some well deserved rest

Tracy

Tracy, thank you. Maybe this weekend I can get some rest.

Kathy, I am so happy to hear the wonderful news for you and your brother. I pray his recovery will be on the quicker side and smooth.

Have a wonderful day!

Thanks, Connie. I hope he recovers quickly too. They do have him up walking three or four times a day so that is good.

Hey Kathy,

You know, I should just start planning for off time on the boards from Nov/Dec through Feb/Mar... done it twice now . However, as you can probably note by my typing this, I've come back around again. And this time, with a trip planned again.

And, even more amazingly, the trip is from 22 Sept through 01 Oct! (Although, as of right now, I'm not staying at CSR this time around... but that's subject to change).

Between you and Lisa, I have a ton of catching up to do, just thought I'd poke in to say hi

Allan, I am SO excited to hear that you will be there at the same time as us. We will DEFINITELY have to try to set up a meet while we are there. Let's keep this in the back of both of our minds.

I am so happy that everything is going well..... too on the mammogram results.....that is beyond awesome

Thanks, Queen. Hugs back at you.

Hurray Kathy for the 4 cancer free years!! May you have many, many, many, more cancer free years.

That is fantastic news about your brother. I'm hoping he'll have a speedy recovery. My mom was in the hospital for about 4 days after her surgery until she had a movement and they decided to release her. I'm hoping your brother will be just as lucky. I'll continue to keep your family in my prayers.

Thank you. We'll, we've unfortunately passed the four days since the surgery, but hopeful he'll be home by the end of the week.

Now that's some WONDERFUL news!!!

Congratulations on being cancer free!

....... and your brother's successful surgery! Now go and catch your breath and relax for a while!

Karin, my friend, thank you for all the good wishes. It was so great talking to you on the phone yesterday.

 

[KatMark]

Excellent news all around! I'll be praying that your brother has a smooth recovery.

Now that roof better follow suit with good news.

Brook, thanks. I have someone coming out for the roof this week. Fingers crossed.

All I can say is WOW! I am so happy your brother had a successful surgery. I can certainly understand how his weight loss could have that impact. I hope his recovery is going smoothly.

He certainly sounds like he has had some bad luck lately. Is he on medicaid now? Does he have any prescription coverage? Please see if he can find a sympathetic practitioner who can look at his medications and prescribe as many as possible off the $4 Walmart or Target list.

I take care of under served people on a regular basis and I make sure I order from this list whenever its possible. A lot of cardiac meds are on the list. Sometimes there is medication in a group of similar medications that can be ordered off the list. I absolutely hate when someone doesn't take the time to make sure a patient can get as many of his meds as possible at the most economical price.

Your brother is certainly to be commended for his weight loss.

I hope he finds himself in good health soon.

Thinking of you! Hugs to your brother!

Thanks, MaryEllen. He's actually had a few people in and they are talking to him about social security disability benefits or something and some other stuff. I know it is hard on my mom having to pay for his meds, but there is only so much we can do with having our own family, etc. I knkow he gets some of his meds from Walmart.

Glad to hear everything is going well for you and your brother!

Thanks, Kate.

I'm very happy to read a couple pieces of good news here Kathy!

Thank you, Glen. I have to run over to your TR--I think I may be an update behind (on some I am two or three updates behind ).

What wonderful news!

I will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you so much.

Kathy, I'm so happy to hear all of the good news. Get some rest, take care of your brother... and do something goofy this weekend. Just to say you did.

Thanks, Mark. I didn't do anything goofy this weekend...maybe next weekend.

Sorry Ihave been MIA for a couple weeks. I am so happy to hear that your mammogram results were good news and that your brothers surgery was less problematic than initially thought. Lots of hugs and continued well wishes for good health for you and yours....

Tanya, I understand about being MIA. Thanks for the good wishes.

Just wanted to say HI Kathy!!!

Hi, Marv.

Morning Kathy. Just wanted to say hello and see how you're doing today.

Morning, Sophia. Feeling good, albiet a little tired.

Hey Kathy!!!!

I hope you had a good weekend.... mine was super busy. Still praying for you and your brother. I hope everything is going ok.

Thanks, Tim. I spent Saturday on the computer all day watching the wrestling championships that I couldn't go to. He's doing much better.

I think Kathy is sleeping in since I had the nerve to wake her up at 8am her time on a Sunday morning....

No, I was up at 5:15 this morning to get ready for work.

How dare you... you probably were eating breakfast at a POSH disney restaurant with a few fellow Disers too!!

Yes, very POSH.

I think she welcomed that call, she said she enjoyed talking to Karin!!!!

I did enjoy talking to Karin, Rosie. It was so great to put a voice to a friend.

Extremely posh..it was the Cape May character breakfast after all

I was so glad when she FINALLY answered the phone! I mean, its not like I didnt tell her that I would be calling her after breakfast

Yes, you did say you'd be calling. But you forgot the hour time difference and I like to sleep until at least 9 on the weekends when I can. But it was worth waking up for.

Ok, I haven't been Dising since I don't have a trip planned (and you know how I feel about being here without a trip planned...) so I didn't know you already started a PTR;
but now I'm finally here, all caught up and ready to continue. Happy to hear your brother is recovering.
Now I have to go play some more Wheel of Fortune on that other place we like to hang out on
xoxo

I am now hooked on Wheel of Fortune. I can hardly keep up with the DIS, let alone all of the games I play on FB.

I hope to get back to the "planning" of this PTR as soon as things settle a little. I think I am throwing out all but two of my dining places and starting all over again.

Nicki started her dining reviews for this past weekend if anyone wants to follow along: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2662344
