As I sit here no read all these accolades, I'm seriously astounded that I have touched so many lives. I feel the same about all my connections on ECF. You all have touched me with your freely given help when I needed it, your stories that have made me laugh and cry. The way you share your...

My decision: I'm going with Hospice. I may have 3-6 months. With hospice they will keep me comfortable and my quality of life will be the best it can be. Because I am starting early, instead of waiting till it gets closer to the end, my QoL should get maximized. I'm at peace with my...

Just got back home yesterday and ..... yep. Back in the hospital last night. Meeting with surgeon, hospice, palliative care and oncologists while here. Gathering my options I weigh 116 and dropping. I cannot eat so I'm very weak. I am sick of being in pain and tired. So, so tired...

This has to be he hardest post I've ever had to write. We never even got to the operation. A CT scan with contrast was done last night. My small intestines are covered with cancer. Nothing can be done. An x-ray is scheduled to see if there is actual blockage. If not, it's probably the...

Latest update. Another blockage caused me to abort the bowel prep and go into the emergency room here. I'm soooooo sick of pain. NG tube placed and all kinds of contraptions attached to get me ready for today. A couple of hours they take me down for surgery. Just got my iPad so wasn't...

I'm here. Still staying out of the hospital ER. Tomorrow morning we drive to Flint. I want to be there before starting the bowel prep. We are staying at the Hospitality House which is right across from the hospital. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 Monday morning. Rick is here now...

I always have ECF up on my iPad. I will leave him instructions to update the thread as things happen. I never log out (I know that is probably a bad thing) ;)

I'm doing ok. Not great but definitely ok. I've managed to stay out of the ER for two nights now and have only two more before the big day. Hubby is flying back here on Saturday and I've missed him so much this last week or so. He surely is my rock. My sleeping pattern sucks big time...

I'm still around. Just not as much as I'm fighting a battle for my life. I sincerely hope I win and can get more active here. Got a long ways to go and no guarantee but I'm a stubborn wench. ;)

Morning. Should be released today. No more pizza.

O. M. G.!!!!! *runs and tackles and gives a huge hug!!!*

Good morning from yet another hospital bed. Yep, another partial bowel blockage. I really think it is adhesions pushing on my innards and irritating the (haha) crap out of them. It's early enough I can get ECF on my iPad. Before everyone starts using the wifi. Came in yesterday...

Mornin' .....but first, coffee...

It is amazing!! Enjoy! :D

Good morning. So I just got the call from the surgeons office. September 24th is my surgery. I really wanted this done earlier than Oct 1st and his scheduler worked her magic and made it happen! 10 days!!! Praying it works the way I am visualizing with my whole heart and soul.

Bronze, just please keep us updated as you are able. Praying for the best possible outcome for you. :nun:

No, I have to suck in air and keep the little ball thingy in between these two lines. It's more to exercise the lungs in prep for a long surgery. I'll probably be using it after the NG tube comes out. That part I'm not looking forward to. Ugh. But if the results are what I'm wanting...

Pool filling is exciting!! Are you doing a chlorine or salt water pool? I'm sure you are thrilled to get this project finished. :D

Yes, I am getting the surgery. I just have to make sure I stay healthy before hand. Lots of protein drinks and working my way up to soft foods. Because of the blockages and not being able to eat, I dropped to 121lbs. On my 5'6" frame... well not a real good thing BUT it's not too awful...
