    Rosie, I'm going to say some off the wall things. Everyone forgive me. Take the Ibrance. Lot's of thoughts why, instincts say don't say them. If it's against hospice rules, just don't tell them. They won't know without you saying something.

    I/ we want you here as much as time allows. BUT you know I worked on D&D this passed week. They're lot's of folks there that hold you dear too. I'm surmising you won't go back to D&D out of principle. Start a thread just for you. A place for people to come and say goodbye. If you need help starting a thread, I'll help. It's not a new idea. It's been done. Not often b/c the end catches so many unawares. Would you share your address, the girls name and Dh's name with someone here and a contact number.

    Bless you and the girls , and DH. Loved being with you, even though you drove me crazy sometimes. I'll always think of you when I write ---soory. A kind of special connection

    Sassy if you had any idea how miserable I feel and have felt for months now - you wouldn't want to make me stay any longer then I absolutely have to. Please no one wish me a prolonged hospice stay where I get kicked out! I about fainted at the thought... ugh. Short and sweet and free at last - pray/ wish for that. I am so ready. I picked a hospice nearby that has a well established kids art therapy and grief counseling program. Now all we need to get is an interpreter and tap into the resource. I have heard very good things about this program from folks who have used it. That's all that matters. They also have in patient hospice rooms.. unless it's full then what? Off to a close hotel - Phoenix Inn is nearby and they have a pool... kids can visit and swim. Whoo hoo. I have always been a pragmatist.

    Now no more talk about this, back to banter and chatter and lively silly talk. Ok! I need diversion and goofiness and I KNOW you all can dish up that! Chevy... ??? Jazzy??? Remember death is normal and we all do it. It isn't scary and change is the way life is. Accept that and there is even less resistance and suffering. ((((Hugs)))))

    Rose-

    My prayer for you and your family is for comfort and peace. I'm very sad to read this news ((hugs))

    sas what is D&D, not dungeons and dragons right? lol

    sorry, a little levity...but in all seriousness rose I'm so sorry and will keep your family in thoughts and prayer. I pray for your comfort and for you to get some relief from your pain. uggg I truly hate this!!!

    ((hugs))

    Rosie, got it. Shall I go tell the D&D folks to stop here.

  • sas-schatzi
    sas-schatzi Posts: 15,889

    Rosie did the mods say you would be banned if you went to D&D? The reason I ask is when I was banned, They preload something that if you do something they don't want, it blocks access. Hence should I go to Death & Dying and tell them to come here. The whole crew are talking about you.

  • sas-schatzi
    sas-schatzi Posts: 15,889

    Rosie, okay light and funny. One last thing contact number? Then I'll be funny

    MT hi old friend

  • Dearest Rose,

    I followed all your wonderful posts on Death and Dying. I cannot tell you how sad I feel hearing your news. I only hope you know how much you gave all of us through your thoughtful posts.

    May your next journey be as easy for you as it possibly can be. And may boundless joy be yours at the end of it.

    I leave you with an Irish saying, all the way from Dublin and from my heart

    ....'may the road rise up to meet you'. Which means, may God help the next steps you have to take in this life and hold your hand all the way home.

    We all love you very much Rose.

    God bless you.

    Rose, I have come to respect and hold you dearly in my heart. I understand where Ms. Sas is coming from...I want you to be around longer too because you have much wisdom,different perspectives,and so much to offer;but,I hate to see you miserable with almost zero quality of life. You are right about death-it is part of life and we shouldn't fear it. I wish you peace and comfort. May God show you mercy.

    Thank you for being selfless and caring (and also giving us the blessing to continue to be goofy).Love you( I don't nonchalantly say this phrase because it's not an easy thing for me)

    I got your back too.

    Had a bit of a laugh today on Facebook with my sister's two sons. Those two boys crack me up! I told them to be nice to their old auntie and the eldest nephew called me Auntie Older Than Dirt. Well his little brother topped that and called me Auntie Crude Oil!

    Oh Damnit Rosie! WTH? ??? I mean WTH???? I got you covered kid.... I can just imagine when you just get so sick of stuff, you will take any way out. I ain't gonna be the one to tell you "now hon... that ain't no way to talk." I understand.... especially at MY age....

    I understand when you'be just been through so much chit, that you ain't up to hangin' in there, no matter what they say.

    Now WHAT'S THIS MISSY? You have HOW many drugs? Can't you just take them? I don't mean all at once, but do they do you any good at all? I mean you could open up your own pharmacy, and get RICH! Just set up a pop-stand...I mean drug-stand on the corner somewhere, and see if you get any takers. I mean SHARE a little!

    We could do business HERE! With all the pot-shops, a few more drugs can't hurt....right?

    Oh crap, you're on the last page, and I can't look back.... so if you said anything else important, I forgot....

    Well if you get bored, wherever you are going, you can always come help me dig up the parking. I'll fix you some Kale and Potato soup... and we can drink screw-drivers until we get silly.... THEN we can go walking down the street giggling and swearing! Love you kid....

    900 pages. I never thought I would say I agree with SAS, but I think: Rosevalley, do what you must, but I almost wish you WOULD take the Ibrance. I can't believe that it is happening so fast either, again, for another good woman. I will remember you

    Rosie, I've seen many a relative and friend go through this so I know that there comes a time when one just knows it's time. So may you have enough time to get things squared away the way you want them and then have a peaceful journey.

    I'm on my phone so I don't have any cute memes but here's a photo of my beasts (of course!) that I have titled "Head-Up-Ass":

    Both have secondary titles of "Please don't fart on me right now."

    Sassy you crack me up. Don't send everybody over here... confusion over load. I think I will have to go to Palliative/hospice and start a thread. "Moving no forwarding address"... hahaha Calico that's for you - It's your idea. I am tired and I just got up from a nap.. pathetic state of affairs. Chevy I know, I am just stock piling drugs that no one wants unless you have BC.. wish it was rare earth elements... probably get the FBI banging on the door.

    Got enough energy to take a lunch over to beautiful perennial garden, 1900 estate here in town. Sat with DD3 admiring all the gorgeus flowers and the stunning amount of bees roaming the plants. The sun was shining and yet it was cool and lovely. We are like flowers.. different colors, textures, sizes and shapes... just lovely, fragile, delicate and wonderful to enjoy! We are especially precious because we don't last but a brief moment, until the weather and circumstances are right again.. and we manifest again as flowers.

    Thank you for all your sweet thoughts and comments, hugs back to each of you!
