Stan called me from home just a few minutes ago. Said he got home Fri about 11pm. He has to go back for chemo 5 days a week starting next Tues., but is in remission, taking chemo to allow bone marrow transplants time to work in his body. He will take treatments one week, evaluate, and go from there.

He says to tell all here that he really appreciates the cards, letters, well wishes, and prayers on his behalf. He said that each one seemed to arrive at the appropriate moment, maybe when he was feeling bad, or down, and each lifted his spirits. He says he cherishes each one, and is looking forward to reading each again, under different eyes, those of a man healing rather than hurting, and count each as a part of his turnaround to better health. He sends his love to all here, and feels it a blessing to have friends here, those met and those he hopes to meet someday. He says he hopes God blesses each and every one of us.

From the bottom of my heart folks, thank you so much for all you have done. I love you guys, you are family, you are kindred spirit. You came through when you were needed, and in a big way.

Such a wonderful thing to log on to and read. Thank God Stan is pulling through. Thanks so much for the update JT ! Where are people sending him cards ? Was there an address ?

 

[horselover]

Yes, please tell!!! I wasn't on here for awhile and didn't even know he was sick! So glad he is doing better!

 

[Nicoal13]

Oh good! Glad he is feeling better.

(When I had my 'wicked' ear infection the ENT guy did a controlled puncture of my ear drum rather than letting it burst! Oye.)

Oh my gosh! That sounds horrible. Thank goodness they didn't have to do that to DS.

Gosh, I love my DVC so much! Who's with me???

Yes!!! And I don't have any trips planned right now....used up all my points for the year already and hate to borrow.

Wonderful news about Stan. As I said before I never got a chance to meet Stan when he was still working but had heard such wonderful things about him. I'm so happy he is doing well. I've been praying for him.

This has made me smile. JT, thank you for keeping us connected.

Jimmy,

I hope your PM space is full because of the overwhelming response for Stan & Carolyn's address. Thanks for taking care of that and for spreading it around.

Don't let anyone know I was looking for it also . . .

 

[Dizny Dad]

Elisa -

A nice laugh; it gave me something to do on my lunch break, especially since DiznyDi is shopping 62% of the time . . .

 

[I Book He Pays]

Hi Groupies!

wildernessDad ~ I'm not a DVC owner but after what DH/I experienced in May... Love It, Love It, Love It! We plan on becoming DVC owners in the future once we move to SC. I can understand why DVC is extremely popular and everyone loves it.

jimmytammy ~ Great news about Stan!! Thanks so much for the update.

Muushka ~ OUCH...

Eliza61 ~ LOL... Those advertisements are a hoot!

Anyone have plans for the holiday weekend?

Have a great afternoon!

 

[Muushka]

I should have qualified my statement about my eardrum being clinically popped. I felt great relief once that pressure went away!

E, too funny.

I Book Just a cookout with friends on Sunday evening.

 

[MiaSRN62]

Oh eliza...eliza...eliza......you find the best stuff ! Thanks SO much for the laugh !!!!!

I'm baaaaacccckkkkkk!!!

Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I haven't taken the time to go back and read through what I missed yet, but I will. I'm sure SOMETHING notable happened in those 8 or 9 pages I missed while being gone. (I WILL read through these... I won't read through the 52 pages I missed over on the Dad's Club thread though... way too much silliness there to spend time actually trying to get caught up).

It was wonderful once again to spend a week deep in the woods. My soul is refreshed. The deer were so beautiful. I saw to different bucks - one with an enormous rack, the other smaller but still quite impressive. But the doe and her fawns were so neat to watch. Twice during the week they came ambling through our campsite in the wee hours of morning. As the Camp Director, I'm first up in the morning and last to bed at night. All week I got about 18 hours of sleep in total. Then when I got home, I slept for nearly that amount in one session ... but here it is 4 days later and I'm still tired. That's okay... I love it.

I spent a lot of great times in conversation with both adults and Scouts. We have some awesome young men in our Troop, and it's a pleasure to be able to get to know them, and to be a mentor to them.

I head west on July 14th for my grandmother's memorial service. She was buried in a quiet, no fanfare kind of way with plans for the service well underway. Family from all over the country will be there... so I'm looking forward to seeing the various aunts, uncles, great-aunts & uncles, cousins, second cousins, my brother, my dad, etc... Due to airfare cost, I had to stretch out my trip a bit (I get up to 5 days bereavement leave, and I'm pretty much taking it all)... and while I'm there I decided I couldn't be in So Cal and NOT visit my happy place... so Disneyland is on the agenda as well. I couldn't get a room at VGC, but that's okay. I'll survive.

I'll be back around soon - I just wanted to say hi.

Got it! Thanks!

Eliza - That was too funny!

Stopher - Glad you had such a good time. I love it when I see deer when I go for my walk. They are beautiful animals.

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

So my DH informed me last night that we are going to DW in December! We won't be staying at the Lodge. Boo Hoo. We will be at BWV and Portofino Bay where we will be doing the Harry Potter thing that the Dis podcast is having. We will be there Dec 2 thru the 12th. Hopefully this years trip will be better than last years. Although we stayed at the Grand Floridian and the Lodge it wasn't much fun. A week before we left my DH threw out his back, then DD and I both got sick while there. Glad to have a trip to plan!!!! Gotta get a ticker!!!

 

[franandaj]

Eliza - Very Funny! Yes, times have changed quite a bit!

I Book - Our Community Concert Band is giving a concert the night of the 4th before they show the fireworks over the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Should be a busy and crazy evening!

Stopher - I hope you plan on staying in the OC while you are here. I'm not sure how much you follow SoCal news anymore, but you are coming the weekend of Carmageddon. They are closing the 405 from the 101 to the 10 Freeways and if you listen to the Media you would think that the world was coming to an end and we will forever be separated from those North of UCLA!

I hope that enjoy your family time and visit to DL while you are here. It's a sad reason for visiting but celebrate your wonderful grandmother and cherish the precious time you have with the family you still have.
