What a cutie!!

Today is National Bubblewrap appreciation Day!!.

Bubble wrap was invented today, originally developed to be used as a removable wallpaper!! go figure

Have a great Monday.

Ha ha......thanks for the laugh ! I need it with all this ice everywhere !

Wish I could bubblewrap myself from WINTER !!!!

So the concerns are obvious, but : there must be another place where the CA is, so they will be trying to find that. Also, treating this infection (my guess: septicemia, but don't know that for a fact) and finally, finding some sort of treatment plan if there is one. She is only 59 years old. But the last 10 years of her life have been filled with all sorts of medical issues and pain. I have a feeling (and she did too, we talked about it once) and a fear that the CA is in many places.

Thank you all. Signed, a pretty sad Muush

Oh Barb ! I am so sorry to hear this. Of course you have my prayers and wishes for your sister to get better. Hang in there....sending a big hug !

 

[Muushka]

Oops, now I have gone and done it! I just got a call from the most significant person in my life, pointing out to me that she agreed with me not to mention adding on. Somehow I thought it would just slip by.

My most humble apologies to my darling wife; just another withdraw out of the emotional bank account for me!

Anyway, didn't we all agree at the last Groupie Meet that if Muushka took us all cruising, we would all work toward the 1000 point club? Maybe being old has clouded my mind, but I was just holding up our end.

I’m hoping for the Mediterranean Cruise myself . . . .

You are too funny! I want that Med cruise too! Imagine how much fun it would be for us all to do a cruise together

Good stuff there Muush...

and just remember each one of us is different, even when we come from the same gene pool. My brother and I are quite different in many many ways, similar in others - that's just the way the Lord designed us. You and your sister are the same - differences, similarities and all.




Yay! Muush is buying again! Except perhaps I just might save mine until the next time we can be at WDW together again, and you can provide it then! It would be much more enjoyable that way anyway.

I've already 3 cups full of hot cocoa today (in one of my refillable mugs no less) - and am honestly getting quite sick of it, as I sit here listening to the ice storm pelt the windows. Enough already. The front of round two has moved in now... snow is supposed to follow within the next couple of hours or so. Fun, fun! I'm thinking happy thoughts, wishing I was on a balcony at the Lodge, or in a rocker at SSR, or at Disneyland... anywhere but here right now - anywhere warm and sunny that is.

Deal. Next time, hot chocolate is on Muush!

Inkmahm, your FIL is in our prayers also. Let us know how he is doing.


Lexie update: She is having her biopsy as I type. Apparently CA is not completely ruled out, I guess stuff on the brain is difficult to read which is probably why they still wanted to biopsy it. She has 8 large (anywhere from the size of a quarter to the size of a half dollar) lesions or abscesses (depending on which diagnosis you prescribe to).
Yesterday she was out of bed and out of the ICU and got to sit in a wheelchair.
The answer to the biopsy should come this evening. Again, thank you all for your kind words and most of all, your prayers.

Thank you Maria. So good to have you back.

Sending prayers and best wishes for Muushka's sister and Inkmahm's FIL.

Sorry I got you in trouble with the Mrs. Dizny Dad!

Muush - give us an update when you can. Still keeping good thoughts going for your Dsis.

 

[Muushka]

I just happened to call my niece when the doc finished talking with her. The lesions are abscesses! No CA!!

The doc said she had about 30 of them, of course ‘never saw anything like that before’, that’s Lexie for ya!

They will send them out for further studies, and cultures, but so far so good.

Take care all, love, Barb

Sorry I got you in trouble with the Mrs. Dizny Dad!

Oh, he's not in trouble. After all, he's the one paying for the points! I'm usually the one that 'spills the beans' because I just can't contain my excitement!

Good news about Lexie, Barb. We'll continue to keep her in prayer. Thanks for letting us know.

Prayers also for your FIL, Inkmahm. If the surgery is for a med-port, that's great. Our daughter has two of them - one on each side of her chest. These drugs are so powerful and caustic that they burn the peripheral veins in short order. The port is a wonderful mechanism to administer powerful drugs. It's funny, our daughter tells us she sometimes can 'taste' the drugs as they go through the port. Keep us posted.

Good Evening Groupies
I haven't checked the boards since this past weekend.
Boy I can't do that again

Muushka So sorry about your sister. Lifting her and your family up in prayer.

Inkmahm Prayers for your FIL and your family as well.


Take care and stay safe

Good stuff there Muush...

and just remember each one of us is different, even when we come from the same gene pool. My brother and I are quite different in many many ways, similar in others - that's just the way the Lord designed us. You and your sister are the same - differences, similarities and all.

My sister and myself are very different as well. She had quite a few learning disabilities while I excelled (although there were some I had that I only found out once I got to college, I was just able to hide them better in grade school). We are different but the same...I hope that she continues to improve!

I've already 3 cups full of hot cocoa today (in one of my refillable mugs no less) - and am honestly getting quite sick of it, as I sit here listening to the ice storm pelt the windows. Enough already. The front of round two has moved in now... snow is supposed to follow within the next couple of hours or so. Fun, fun! I'm thinking happy thoughts, wishing I was on a balcony at the Lodge, or in a rocker at SSR, or at Disneyland... anywhere but here right now - anywhere warm and sunny that is.

I feel for you folks with the snow, I haven't been posting much as we are on a mini-trip to Las Vegas (I say mini Trip because we drive here, but it's actually starting to feel like a vacation I've gotten away from my DTD life so much), but KAT4DISNEY you have much thicker blood than me. When I checked the weather highs were supposed to be in the 60's, today the high was 40! I thought our car thermometer was kidding when it said that it was 35 degrees. I didn't bring a real jacket or anything so we had to go shopping and get me jacket, gloves and hat!

Wow, what a storm. We are supposed to have up to 20 inches here. The wind is just unbelievable! New puppy Cindy is NOT happy having to go potty outside. She is very fast about it at least!

My turn to ask for prayers. My FIL has been diagnosed with colon cancer and will start chemo, radiation and surgery soon. They told him it is a 10 to 12 month process for treatment! I don't know all the details yet but that seems really long to me. He is having surgery first to insert some port for the chemo to be given. He is a great guy who has already been through a lot with his health in the last 10 years. He certainly shouldn't have been in line to have this added to his plate, too. He comes from a very large, strong family of faith so there are already many relatives praying for him. But it never hurts to add a few groupies to the list of prayer givers. I've seen the results!

I hope that your FIL has another recovery, so sorry to hear about this. He's in my prayers. Also good luck with your future trips to the parks and ease of mobility. Hope you enjoyed your stay at DLR!

This is good news, I hope that she continues to improve and will be able to resume a life with good quality.

Tea pot, I hope that your daughter continues to improve and her new lifestyle works out. You're still in my prayers too!

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

What a cutie!!! We got our last puppy when we had the "100 year winter"! DH and I would have to shovel before he could get outside to do his thing.

I'll have your FIL in my prayers. My BIL just finished his 9+ months of chemo for colon cancer following his surgery for it so I know that it can be a very long process. At this time they are waiting for the check up to see how things are going. He's 60 so right there with your FIL.

I didn't bring a real jacket or anything so we had to go shopping and get me jacket, gloves and hat!

Maybe it's my Norwegian blood kicking in - or growing up in MN although I feel I've become a complete WIMP over the cold! I was back in MN 1 1/2 weeks ago for some -20 degrees - you know those temps where you can't even take a deep breath or it hurts! Maybe it's just the contrast to that. Today felt much colder than yesterday but I refused to look at the temps other than to see it's supposed to be close to 60 for the weekend.


Congrats on the add on DiznyDi and Dizny Dad!!

 

[Inkmahm]

Prayers also for your FIL, Inkmahm. If the surgery is for a med-port, that's great. Our daughter has two of them - one on each side of her chest. These drugs are so powerful and caustic that they burn the peripheral veins in short order. The port is a wonderful mechanism to administer powerful drugs. It's funny, our daughter tells us she sometimes can 'taste' the drugs as they go through the port. Keep us posted.

Yes, the surgery is for the med-port for the chemo. He is having chemo and radiation and then surgery to remove whatever of the area is left. Total of 10 to 12 months of treatment, which just seems really long to me. My FIL is happy that there is movement towards "doing" something. He is not good at just waiting around for doctors to have time for appointments.

 

[Inkmahm]

I hope that your FIL has another recovery, so sorry to hear about this. He's in my prayers. Also good luck with your future trips to the parks and ease of mobility. Hope you enjoyed your stay at DLR!

I loved DLR! We were last there in August of 2009 and had planned to go back after the construction is done. But we couldn't resist the chance to go now and see WOC. We'll have to go again after the rest of the additions are done. Having to use a scooter each day wasn't in the plans at all but really was necessary. I"m seeing my ortho doc in a couple weeks to try the shots in my knees. I'm hoping that will help the pain. If not, I'll probably be looking at the scooters you were telling me about.

 

[stopher1]

...Maybe it's my Norwegian blood kicking in...

Kathy, tell me about your Norwegian blood. I have Norwegian blood too, 50% actually. My mother was born in Sarpsborg. They came to the US when she and her sister (they're twins) were 7. The crossed the ocean on one of those great big ocean liners, but certainly not as fancy as today's cruise ships.

 

[Muushka]

Big day tomorrow!!!

Happy Birthday WildernessDad!!!!

My friends wanted to wish you a happy one too.....

Happy Birthday Wilderness Dad!!

Its early, I know but I didnt want to miss it

 

[Nicoal13]

Barb - that is great news! I pray Lexie continues to improve and can go home soon.

Inkmahm - prayers for your FIL


I'm in SE Wisconsin too and we are finally dug out of our driveway. It was back to school today for my son. My DH attempted to go to work, but he got to the job site (new construction of a church) and they had not plowed the 1/4 mile driveway and it was drifted about 4 feet high. So he came home. Now the wind is blowing again and it's negative with the wind chill. Hunkered down in the house with a fire in the fireplace and dreaming of the lodge.
