Between the Devil ( the red one) and the deep blue sea

barbara - thank you for giving her our love

Thank you BarbaraA for the update. 

I'm sure Marybe was happy to see you and I know she must feel the love all of us here have for her.

She has certainly been a cheerleader for a lot of women here and I hope her journey continues to be pain free.

God bless you BarbaraA for giving comfort to our friend and her family.

Take care,

LaDonna

Barbara... Thank you, thank you, thank you! In this time of darkness, you have brought a drop of light to all of us...

Susieq, I had acute pancreatitis which is extremely painful, worse than kidney stones, which I've had numerous times.  For over for 4 weeks I could take nothing by mouth, not even water.  For the first 5 days I was given enough morphine to allow me to function but not move from my bed and to  remember nothing of that period.  After that they reduced my dose enough to be able to move around with my IV pole and to remember until I was able to go on a liquid diet when they switched me to oral narcotics.  Administered carefully for control of pain they are a blessing and certainly caused me no problems.

Sunflower..Thank you for the poem..just beautifu!

BarbaraA..Thank you so much for the updates and for letting her know how much she is loved.

Marybe..Praying for you! May your light keep shining on us today and always!

Thank you Barb! Bless you for being such a good friend to Marybe and to us for keeping us updated.



My sister was also on morphine when in ICU and it was a blessing for her. Her body was able to rest and she had no actual memories. She was weaned off it and a respirator and did well.



hugs to all my sisters tonight

Barbara - thank you for representing all of us.  You must be exhausted, I hope you get some rest tonight.

Marybe - no one is ready for your bright light to go out.   You have been a lighthouse in this sea that we all find ourselves.  Now we are all holding you in the light. 

Marybe,

I am so grateful for your encouragement and continued example of living in the face of cancer. Without you, I would have gone mental when I was first diagnosed.

Thanks for being you,

Jennifer

Thankyou girls for your comments on morphine - nice to know there can be good experiences. I didn't know that as my experiences with it have not been so good. I do hope Mary is comfortable.

Dear Barbara, Thank you so much for all your updates on Marybe. You are a wonderful friend!!! God bless you, Kathy

Dear Marybe, thank you for being such a comfort and inspiration. Peace be with you nd your family.

Marybe,

Get better girlfriend, we need you here to cheer us on.

Marybe...I have never seen so much passion in one room. I have watched you from a distance and, you should know, the lives you have touched is endless. You are a powerful soul with extraordinary compassion. You have created pages in the stories of all of our lives and each of us warmly thank you. I know you as beauty, and I hold you with great respect. I pray for you to heal, for you to have peace and for your amazing spirit to continue to lift us all. You are a gift. A true treasure. With all my heart, I pray for you.
