canfiet

Theresa, I've been thinking about you too. I don't know if you have the right number for me, (it hasn't changed) We've got company arriving any second, so not going to pm you right now, but will soon. I hope you and your family are doing well, I not only have been concerned for your progression, but also hoping your son is still not needing any more surgery... I'm really okay, got a different type of PEG placed in December, and have been so much better since. (mic-key type) lots going on here, will write you about it later. D xo

I keep meaning to write.... hope you're doing okay. Hopefully this week I'll get a pm off to you. xo

Hey,

I got your message. Thanks for the bday wishes I'm sorry to hear your tube has caused pain. I'm back to battling the darned granulation tissue again. When you're up to it, I'd love to hear more about the diaphragm pacer implant. Keep your spirits up! (I know you battle) Will send you a pm soon, just not today. Was out of town, too much to do, and too exhausted to do any of it. xo

Teresa,

The right mask is everything (well, that and the expiration pressure being low enough) I know it can be miserable until you get the right one. What type do you have? I will write you more later, we're just back from vacation, followed up by more company. So, trying to catch up. Hang in there, you'll soon be glad you have the bipap. really. xo

Hi, I hope all is well! Im glad you posted about the Mirena. I was afraid other woman might get turned off as well. I agree there are symptoms but hormones have been around forever and I never heard of neurological problems/ALS being caused by them. You helped me awhile back with my questions and I gave it a shot and (fingers crossed) I think it saved me from a hyst! Thanks for being so helpful! Be well!

How are you holding up? And how's the tournament?

Happy Birthday Scott! Rest is probably good...just enjoy being away, if you can...and no teenager will ever let you know they are having fun It is some code they have...drive your parents crazy code of ethics....by the way, that is a lifetime code! Oh, I am trying to get the guts to travel...we are going for a short weekend trip and go from there I am such a whimp...

Everyone should go a little slower when we travel, it allows you to see new things! I always wanted to see Independence Hall...such a History Fan! Talk with the nurse on Friday went really well, I think we understand each other better...she opened up, to my surprise, about her fears...I think this will work! I have slept for two days...I think my body just said stop, but I think it was a relief to share the fear with the staff at hospice. We are really looking forward to seeing you when you get back! We will come over and sit on your beautiful deck. Text or email anytime...I am wide awake now, and it's 12:30. Watching comedy central and LAUGHING...best medicine! ENJOY YOUR TRIP-YOU DESERVE IT! Love, Lori & Jay

Good grief! according to the little info blurb (above this message field) it says your last activity was 4:41 AM.. A M ?? how about sleep? silly girl. I hope the LAX tournament is going well, Call me, or message me.

Thank heavens your doing better! What timing. I sure hope it works out to where we can get together. Try not to tire yourself out toooooo much! (your daughter is a little comedian )

Hi, the pics I posted were from my brother in laws camera that he posted to facebook. We just got a new camera, so my kids will teach me how to post them here(I hope!!) I too am not very computer savvy. My kids were horrified that I did not know how to use my new IPOD, let alone download music. I am 10 yrs older than you, and remember our first remote control TV. That was hi tech!! HUGS Lori

Teresa, I just got back and saw your post on the sticky thread. If I was the person that suggested that you look on the search box and hurt your heart, please accept my apology.
