Best Of

Hello everyone. Hope tonight finds you peacefully curled up with a warm blanky and a good book! We took the covers off the outdoor plants and guess what??? You guessed it, they revised the weather forecast and tonight thru tomorrow morning we will have a few hours of below freezing. Too tired to recover and it's not going below 30, so take my chances.

Well I have some major news. I'm still in shock and not sure how to absorb this but here it goes. I am in remission!!! Unbelievable and I guess I'm accepting this with a restrained measure of acceptance. It's not like turning a switch on and off. I can't just turn off my mindset for 3 years of MBC. Also, I still have MS to deal with. It's not likely to threaten my life, but it's still a bitch to deal with. I guess I need one more scan to placate me. Next scan is in April.

I feel so blessed as it takes a lot to deal with DD and DGD. They are back due to cold weather and their camper is not suited for temperatures below 50 (no insulation). We laid down the law yesterday that DGD must go to school, use a grant and get help for her social anxiety and ADHD. Grants opened up yesterday. Lets say we were met with a whole lot of anger and mind your own business. We have a game plan with proper contacts and will secure a lawyer if we must.

Wish spring was coming sooner. I'd like to feed Phil to my dogs, well they wouldn't eat that mangy critter anyway. So maybe someone could dispute his findings. lol

In pockets for scans and life in general.

@mara51506 sweet girl reading your post on depression and your fears of another brain surgery made me see how vulnerable you are feeling right now. Your surgery was literally a brain injury ,which ultimately causes depression afterwards. It’s perfectly normal to feel down and depressed. When i had my Hehorrhagic stroke brain bleed years ago the doctors told me and DH I would feel depressed and lose my sense of humor as a result. I did go through a period like that but as my brain brain swelling during the coma began to diminish, I did get back to normal mostly. Also Mara having a devastating disease is depressing in itself. I’m sure your brother understands that, It’s good to have him to talk to. Just try to remember that you may be feeling down on yourself because you are not keeping up with all that you want to do around the house. Take one day at a time and just keep one goal for each day. We all love you here Mara and want you to continue to recover from this ordeal. Try to rely on DB & SIL to talk to and here we are all available to listen to each others struggles.😘🌷
