I'm so sorry to hear about your dad...big hugs to you!

Ronda--
You could call them Ethel and Loosey if you wanted to! Kale is like spinach but a little heftier. You have to buy it fresh, use it right away (gets tough sitting around) and the smallest leaves you can find---gets tough if it's left to grow too big.

Tina--
I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. Mine died in 2000 after almost 5 years in a nursing home. It was a blessing for him but still so hard for everyone who loved him to let him go. When you're feeling sad, come here---many of us understand and can hold your hand for awhile.

Rondab, Hurrah! Time to do a Zorba the Grek dance on the beach (any-one remember that?) Such a celebration.
Tina, It's heard to loose a parent - even when you know it is inevitable, it is still hard, and many of here can understand and circle in a little closer to comfort you.
Jeannie, I know what you mean about daughters being so far away. My oldest has been studying in Australia for the past almost 3 years. She is on her way home for a visit. Hopefully in a few months it will be permanent. Haven't sen her since before my diagnosis, so it will be a special time.
And on that note ladies, I am off to ride the range to the place where the silver thunderbirds land (i.e. the airport) to sweep the dear one into my arms after her 30 hour trip home from Perth. I will have an extra latte for you all befor I begin that journey (the silver bird lands at 11:39 PM!).
Ciao, Jeannette0 -
Jeannette--
Enjoy that visit with your daughter! Three years-WOW. I thought one year was bad. Daughters certainly do have a special hold on our heartstrings. I have a grown son too and adore my DIL but it's just----different. Ya know?

I'm also doing the happy dance for you Ronda!
I made some freash raspberry cobbler thats great hot with Ice Cream!
My whiskers itch tonight! that's what my Chriopractor called my stitches on either side of my nose. So now I feel like a kitty cat! can't keep my paws off my whiskers!
Started PT for my back today she's going to try to get the Dr. to order some massage therapy!!!
Getting excited about the BC retreat I'm going to this weekend. It should be fun!
I have plenty of Firewood if someone wants to cut it, we had to cut down two really tall trees last spring and I haven't been able to help chop it. Should keep the Campfire stoked for a good long time.
hope tonight finds everyone doing better
Hugs & prayers0 -
newvickie,
My insurance is covering the test and the counseling because of the way they are coding it. They are coding it as part of my treatment and diagnoses not routine0 -
Mena big hugs. I to had a man walk out after dx. His loss and your dh loss. I am liting candels so anyone awake can find their way back to our camp. I think we need to eat a lot of junk food. I have slim jims waiting and kit kats. Its a bit cold so hot chocholate time.By the way I like to tell scary stories at the camp fire. Anyone have any.

Good Morning everyone. Early morning watch has arrived.
I know I am a nut case. I am now getting up at 4:30am so I can come on these boards and still fit in exercise before I go to work. Its a chilly morning here in the circle. I woke up, still in my summer pj's. Shivering. I made a huge campfire this morning. Its so warm and quiet right now. Got lots of coffee brewing for you all as you start waking up. No sunrise yet, and no stars this morning. Lots of dew and layers of fog. Sure would be pretty riding my horse down a path as the sun starts to come up.
So much to say.
Tina: I am so sorry about your dad. Its so very hard to lose a parent. We are with you right now. Holding you up when you feel down.
Cookie: OMG - when I came on the computer, I screamed out loud, I am so excited about the results of your test. Congratulations. I am now so hoping to eat some of your tasty meals.
Cheryl: The retreat sounds wonderful. Hope things start to settle down with your back.
Silvergirl: I was so excisted to hear from you. Its good to have you back. Missed ya a whole bunches.
Vickie: I too had genetic testing done. I dont know if the rules have changed cause I had mine done last year. Most insurance companies will pay for it if you have 2 blood relatives diagnosed with bc or ca of the ovary. If the insurance denies it, the company will help you with the finances. Im brca2+ and being studied at Mayo Clinic. How is everything with Trenton going?
Oh my! There are so many of us here. If I didnt mention your name its only cause I am hugging you right now.
This Is For PurpleMB:
Good morning sisters, hope things are well today
Come to our circle, relax and rest is what I say
So much good news and some news thats sad
But your here in the circle and for that Im glad
Not enough time, its exercise and work
Want to stay home cause my boss is a jerk.
Sun is rising, daylight will soon be near
To all my friends, Im glad your here.
Nicki

Well I did it! I was able to come on the boards, go exercise, and come back for a final note.
My breakfast is gonna be so boring. 2 hard boiled eggs and a piece of string cheese. Oh yummy yummy in the tummy.
But I have made a wonderful breakfast for you all. Its sort of like a quice but not with crust. Has eggs and sausage, then baked. You should be smelling the aroma now. You cut it in slices and eat it. Hope you enjoy.
Wishing everyone to have a wonderful day. Time for me to go.
Nicki0 -
Ah Nicki...you make me feel so lazy! At least, you will have plenty of protein to meet your day.

Well girls, I can't express yet again how I feel about each and everyone of you, words are not adequate enough. My dad passed away yesterday at 6.30pm after a gruelling night and then day. The tumors in his lungs made it almost impossible for him to breathe and each breath looked like it took every ounce of energy to complete it. I spent the night with him on Monday, just me, and he regained consciousness once, around 4 am, sort of lifted his head and tried to smile at me and then drifted back to his coma. He did not awaken again. You guys know about the situation with his wife, she is very hard and very controlled, barely a tear escaped from her eyes. She made her wishes very clear about the funeral, no flowers from the great grandchildren (his) as she does not want her grand children to be offended. Her flowers will be front and center and to the right of the casket will be flowers from her children and then grandchildren. We can purchase a floral tribute but make it small. She is allowing us to bring pictures for a picture tribute of our family. I think she forgets that we had a family and memories for 37 yrs. before she stepped in and ruined it.
I will not rise to her bait, however, I know that she expects me to and I won't give her and her kids the satisfaction even though I would love to let her have the brunt of my 22 yrs of pent up anger toward her but.....
There will be one day of visitation (fri) and funeral on Sat. burial to be private and at a later date. A date that I am sure will not be communicated to our family. I will hold my head high, be proud to be his daughter and proud to be WELSH. My dad was the most patriotic Welshman you would ever meet.
Thanks for everything,
Tina0 -
The latest on Trenton
Trenton Duckett Investigation
A Child's Shoe was Found in the Search Area and New Items Were Discovered Outside Melinda Duckett's Home.
Police released information about some of the items they found in the trash outside Melinda Duckett's apartment. Some of the items included photos, toys, and a sonogram.
However, even with each passing day, police continue to lose hope of finding little Trenton Duckett alive. Tuesday, law enforcement officers hope to regroup and determine what direction to take from here..
DAMN...I'M LOSING HOPE HERE! STILL PRAYING HARD!!!0 -
Tina, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. It must be very difficult to have to deal with a challenging family situation on top of it. You are taking the high road and you can forever be proud of that! I know your father is proud of you too. Hang in there, girl. ((Hugs))
Cheryl, I am curious about your retreat. What is it? How did you find out about it? It sounds interesting!
Lisa, glad you are going to the doctor tomorrow and will get started getting some answers. My thoughts are with you for the best possible outcome.
Mena, you made me crack up when you compared me to Hilary Swank! No one has ever said that to me before!!
Tgirl, hope you feel better soon!
I am off to the oncologist today....my first visit....I am nervous but I don't really know why! I know I will need chemo as well as Herceptin, it is just a matter of which cocktail he will recommend. Oh well, wish me luck!
Love to you all,
Kristin0 -
Kristin (H Swank) good luck today. We're all with you in the room.

I'm sorry girls...no sadness here. I am just worried about Trenton and my daughter's and her husbands family's reaction when he's found but God is taking care of him no matter where he is.
Fresh hot chocolate here with cinnamon raisin buns.
Thanks girls for all your info on the BRCA testing and the bone density scan...don't know what I'd do without you all.
Hugs
Vickie0 -
(((((((Tina))))))))
Kristin...the whole wagon train will follow you there...and I think NS has a chocolate fountain if they allow it in the waiting room!0 -
Dear sweet Tina,
I am so very sorry, and to make matters even more painful
The wife saying what she did unbelievable! I am so happy
you were there when he was able to smile at you, The wife
can not take away your fathers love for you ever.
My deepest heartfelt sympathy for you Tina and your family.
Hugs,

Tina, I know you are grieving for your father and I don't mean to be disrespectful but....WTF????????? This is the meanest, most-selfish thing I have ever heard of and I sweatt that someone this small minded is going to get EVERYTHING she DESERVES and then more.
The burial is such a private & important time for ALL of the family. I am absolutely stunned. Your father would be just sick in his heart.
Big hugs to you girl...for have to put up with the step mother from H-E-doublelhockeysticks as long as you did.
Luv

Is there any reason your family couldn't hold their own memorial service?

Tina, I am so sorry. I am a stepmother and I just could never do my husband's children by his first marriage that way - he loves them. My children in turn love him and he is "pop" to them and paw-paw to the grandchildren.
You're right, don't take the bait. I feel confident that you and your Dad said your goodbys earlier and to have him awake enough that he looked at you and smiled - that was a gift from heaven. Grasp it; that smile was just for you!!!
Vicki, my daughter and granddaughter left Sunday for home. I miss that 18 month old running through the house with me chasing her and hearing her laughter and her curls bouncing as she ran. Been hard to adjust again these last few days. I pray for Trenton too. I will be very surprised if they find him OK. I just have the hardest time understanding parents sometimes - give the child to someone; I am sure he had family members who would have loved to take him. I understand what depression can do, I have experienced the terrible results of it in my own family twice.
Everyone, God speed as you start your day with appointments, treatments, test, etc. B0
