Thinking of you JoJo and others through this difficult time. I, like rhymeee is crossing everything and wishisg for good results on the MRI. The medic wagon is loaded down with anything you might need and dont hesitate to ask for anything.
Afternoon rounds complete and all is looking well on the homefront. Until tomorrow morning I will see you all again. Postive thoughts is being sent to the center of the circle for all of those that need it. Also remembering Trenton and keeping him in my thoughts.

Well go figure. I had to work at the ranch all day and it sounds like I missed a wonderful lunch. And wasnt it Denise who was begging for beans?
JoJo: I just wanna make sure those medics are giving you something for pain every 4-6 hours. Gotta stay on top of it. And darn - MRI tomorrow. Well all I can tell ya is your gonna have alot of us there with you. And they better be nice to you. Our spirits can still get sassy lol. Im thinking that the medics should also make sure you get something extra tonight and tomorrow morning to help you relax. Hmmmm lets see - Ativan or xanax comes to mind. So here I am, running with a pain pill, something to relax you, and a cool washcloth for your forhead. And if you feel up to it, we could get some nice lotion and softy massage where your having the pain. Maybe get you to sleep for a while.
Well, since I worked at the Ranch all day, we have some wonderful steaks to cook over the open fire. Got some mushrooms and onions that have been marinating all day. Some corn on the cob and some baked potatoes. I picked them myself (yeah right). And for dessert Strawberry Short Cake.
Cookie aka Rondab: Oh silly me. Now I understand why there was a Do Not Disturb on your wagon. Next time put some lunch aside for me.
All this food! Im getting fat talking about it.
Ok - on a serious side. My cancer center is looking for a nurse to be their Breast Cancer Specialist. I want this so bad. It would be a great way to end my nursing career - as an educator and advocate for people with breast cancer. Although I dont think I have the energy to create that spark when being interviewed. So - maybe I will call. If I do, wish me luck.
Nicki0 -
Time to leave my watch. But I'll be here bright and early. JoJo - I have a special palce in my heart for you tonight. I decided to break some logs for the camp fire with an ax. Boy, Im sweating - what a stress reliever.
To all my friends (Peggy too) love and peace.
Nicki0 -
well........my world accordion tour is back on!
i got bumped out of the OR list for thursday.......and was told "hopefully november".........oh well, they're paying me for their own stupid delays at my hospital right?
ok ladies........i made a great stew, but my cowpokes here devoured it.........can i just bring the jack daniels tonight?????0 -
Good afternoon lovely ladies.
I had a wonderful day and had to share.
I got up early and started my drive to Anchorage for my 4th rads zap. I stopped at my favorite coffee wagon and got a wonderful caramel latte and a chocolate covered coffee bean.
The sun was shining brightly, low in the sky, but since it was cold last night, 37 degrees, every time the road neared a river or a lake, which is every few mile, there was beautiful mist. Sometimes the sun actually made circular rainbows in the mist.
My second stop was for a stretch at a beautiful mountain lake called Tern Lake. The sun was just at the top of the mountain and the mist was hovering about 2 feet from the surface of the water. The birds were darting in and out of the mist. It was beautiful.
After I made my way through the mountain pass, I stopped again at a pull-out next to the Bay. The tide was coming back in in a bore tide: a wave of water about a foot high filling the bay all at once. As I got further toward the mouth of the bay I stopped for the last time to watch a pod of Beluga whales play right next to the rocky shore. They were so close you could hear the whoosh of air as they surfaced to breathe. The adult belugas are maybe twice the size of a dolphin and are pure white. The babies are a soft gray color. One came so close that I could see its eye as it surfaced, to look at us I think.
It was a beautiful drive yeah, I had to go in for rads when I was done with my trip, but that only took a half an hour. Now I am holed up in the condo that has been loaned to me for the duration of my treatment, my home away from home. Im typing on a laptop my loving husband go for me so I would not feel out of touch. Yep, I have to get radiation treatment, but I still feel blessed.
I said a prayer for all of you while I watched the whales. I wish you could have all been there with me!
Hugs and many prayers for all who are in the center of the circle. May you have a peaceful evening and a restful night.

Anyone heard from Robin?
Thinking good, healing thoughts for you sweetie.
XOXO
Denise0 -
Heard from Robin earlier today. She was doing "spring cleaning" a little late but said this is her good week. Has treatment next week.
I'm pulling away for a few days. There are so many that need the inner circle at the moment and I don't dare try to mention everyone, but while I am away you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping better days ahead for everyone.
Somehow I seemed to have messed my back up this afternoon and with my 18 month old granddaughter and daughter coming for a visit, I sure hope it improves fast!!!! I need some muscle relaxers or something and FAST,
Hugs and blessings, Brenda0 -
Nicki you should DEFINITELY apply for and GET that job!!
You would be fantastic at it!
JoJo, I hope you are given pain relievers, one MRI is bad enough- but THREE?
I am sure you are all tense as well because of all the stress you are under because of this. Praying for comfortable tests and GOOD RESULTS!
Everyone who needs to sit a little closer tonight, there is a beautiful fire blazing and Deb sent us the Northern Lights for our evening's entertainment..
holding my sisters close.

Deb-Sounds absolutely surreal. Wish I could have been there with you. Your DH sounds like the greatest. What a sweet thing to do.
Prayers to everyone this beautiful end of summer evening.

Deb,
Waht a wonderful treip. I could see the whales in my mind's eye, and wanted to marvel with you at the tide rushing in. IT soon will be winter and that will be another landscape that I will love to hear about.
Girls, the campfires, the wonderful eats, the circling of wagons, the call of the loon at the end of the day.
What a wonderful place to come to and fel so cared for and comforted by all the sisters that cozy around this cirle.
Jeannette0 -
Now this is something I can do....
Hugs,
Peggy0 -
Jojo- best of luck to you. I'm waiting on results from my 2nd MRI now. Also had lab today, CT on Thursday. We can be nervous together I guess, whether we should be or not.
This is only my 2nd checkup - hoping it gets easier to handle for all of us.
All y'all are in my thoughts tonight. It's cooling off here on the inside of the circle. Gonna gather my pink ribbon blanket around me, think good thoughts, say my prayers, and try to sleep. After the neurologist & onc appointments next week, we'll have a celebration supper.
Probly be chili weather by then. You gals like spicy or not? I can fix it both ways! Actually, spicy might be a little mild to describe my best stuff! Cookie0 -
keep the methacarbonal , percocrt ambien , neurontin & Vitiamin E coming my way I coud really use them I can't see straight it hurts so much. And I have to go back to work tomoorow.
No more I promisie to leasve the house keeping to my hunny, bleess his hewsrt, ans I stay with the bills and maybe sonthing will get done around here!. He is the best housejkepper I've everhad and he know how to trasr a lady if you knows what I mean,

nite all0 -
A little campfire sogn for us all, written by my other half who without I would not be whole.
Scourge
Lying together in bed
As I cradle your weary head
And I dont know what Id do with out you
Tear drops stain my cheek
And youre the strong one and Im the weak
And I dont know what Id do without you
You battle that nasty scourge
And cancer should be a four letter word
And I dont know could I live without you
You burst the air from my lungs
Oh when you told me I spoke in tongues
And I dont know what Id do without you
Life is a precious thing
Try so hard to avoid deaths sting
And I dont think I could live without you
Youre much more than my wife
Oh thru the years youve become my life
I dont think I will live without you
You battle that nasty scourge
And cancer should be a four letter word
I dont think I will live without you

Hugs & Prays to all0 -
Pssssssst...anyone up? I can't sleep...
Peggy: Ok, now that wagon...I'll let you slide this time, but don't go making a habit out of it...hahahah...very clever, as usual...
Jo: Prayers going up for you, honey...
Chemosabi: If you don't go for that job, there's going to be a revolution of sorts here in our serene circle...Just do it!
What a fricken heavy heart I had today...nothing in particular, just everything in general...so I snuck out of my wagon where I was isolating and find you all asleep at 2 am...what a bunch of party poopers! Somebody get up and give me a hug...0 -
I'm up Mena...It's only 11:00 pm here in California. Here's a hug from me ((((((((((((HUG!))))))))))))))
Did you get it?
Mandy0 -
(((((((((((Mena))))))))))))
***shshhh....Just signing on in my sleeping pill induced stupor to say goodnight to all...tks for giving me the wagon, that was a tough one lol...hugs to you sister...I'm off to bed.****
Peggy0 -
Here for just another min too. Catching up after a long day/night at work.
Hope tomorrow is a beautiful sunny "fall" day for all.
(((((Sweet Dreams Cyber-Sisters))))0 -
(((((((((((Mena))))))))))))
I couldn't sleep either, but I didn't see this until now. I hope that you are now sleeping comfortably.
Hugs,
JoJo0 -
Good morning everyone. Im hear for morning watch, still sleepy, but Im here. The coffee is brewing. I made a big pot - just waiting for it to be done. I tried something different to help me sleep last night. Took 2 benadryl. Well let me tell you it worked great. In fact, this morning, Im not my bright eyed self. Im still sleepy. Oh I need a cup of coffee right now.
Mena - sometimes I get feeling sad too. Hope it will soon pass for you.
JoJo - my horse is saddled. Im ready to go. We are with you today, all the way. Sorry you couldnt sleep last night. I dont think I could have either if I were you. So good luck with the MRI's today. Hope you can feel us surrounding you there.
Its strange. The ground is really wet. The frogs and crickets are singing. But I just realized. The birds have stopped their morning songs. Guess they already have started their journey south for the winter. Winter!! How dare I mention that word. Im just getting used to it being Fall.
Before I went to bed last night, I sent my onc and email. Reminded him oh so gently that Im a nurse, understand all about Breast Cancer treatment, and would be the perfect person for the job I was talking about earlier. He is the senior partner in the onc practice, with his office in the cancer center. So I'm sure he has some influence. Im gonna call my surgeon tomorrow too.
I just need to get up the energy to do an interview. Means I need a new suit - I have gained so much weight, I dont fit into my old suits. I know Im awfully tired of driving around everyday from hospital to hospital. What a dream job eh? Breast Cancer Specialist. My name is written all over it.
OK! coffee is done. The first sip is wonderful. And I have this goofy dog. "Mister" is his name. Half black lab, half border collie and all monster. He just came into the circle from his morning run. Immediately layed down and wanted me to wipe his paws!! Now thats one spoiled pet.
Hugs to eveyrone.
Nicki0 -
Hi girls:
I got my horse and her name is Sam. I am gonna git me some of that food...
Wendy A0 -
Mandy...that hug gave me about 3 hours! Thank you for living on the West Coast and being there for me...
Chemosabi...I'm praying my fat ass off that you get that job...Buy a suit, don't dirty it, don't remove the tags (hide them well) and return it hahahahah...seriously...I think you're going to get this! My gut is rarely wrong...please go for it...drop names...play the cancer card...call in favors...I'll talk to God...thanks for the coffee...next time, I'd like flavored creamer...hazelnut if you don't mind...hahahha the very nerve of me...Mena...xo0 -
Nicki-
You GO FOR IT! That job sounds perfect for you. They would be silly to think of anyone else. With Mena talking to God and all I think you should get her the hazelnut creamer
The coffee smells good, I think I'll have a mug
I was up a lot last night too. I can't believe how much of a country girl I have become. My little condo here in Anchorage is filled with faint city sounds...cop cars on the highway, doors slamming, people talking...not loud exactly, but very different than my normal chickens clucking, wind blowing, dog snoring...I was up wandering the tiny condo half the night. I think that tonight I will sleep in my walgon...anyone got a dog I can borrow? Bonus points if it snores
I hope that all of you have a great day. Special hugs to everyone that is resting in the center of our circle.

Thanks for the coffee this morning. I sure needed it after not being able to get my butt in the wagon last night and go to sleep. I guess I was just enjoying the cool night air and the soft glow of the fire.
Chemosabi--go for it. I second the notion that the job has your name written all over it. Pull out every card you have and give it your best shot.
Deb-all i can say is wow what a journey. I was there with you the whole way. I enjoyed the whales and there is nothing more relaxing that watching the whales play. I have only gotten to do it once in Maine but I long to visit Alaska one day. Thank you for the beautiful visual image.
Ok Mid morning watch it here as I saddle up my donkey. The baby donkey May has learned to make the donkey sound and let me tell you she is so proud of herself. She makes the noises and then runs about bucking and kicking as if to say look at me,,I did it! Sorry if she woke up anyone this morning,,I will try to explain to her that some people are up late and like to sleep in.
keeping you all in my thoughts today. Amy0
