Morning, friends! Vegas is spending the day in remembrance of last year’s horror.
We are still hovering around 100 degrees here. Maybe it finally drops when Hurricane Rosa’s effects reach us. Staying off the road for the next couple of days with flash flood warnings all over.
Made a hand-pulled noodle beef soup yesterday. Incredible! Who knew that star anise, cinnamon and nutmeg along with garlic, ginger and Chinese Chile peppers could make such an amazing broth. It’s a 5 hour cook time. Good eatin for days.
Wherever I go online I meet cool truckers. On Twitter, there’s a lady around my age who is a “million miler.”

LA, I loved your talk of the newest food you made. Sounds delicious.
Yes, the LV thing is still up in the air for me. I find it very hard to understand the no motive theory, or connections. I know I am not the only one. May those victims rest in peace. For those left behind, you have my deepest sympathies for this sickening display of pure evil.

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 decision as are my family. I have been suffering so much lately. I'm typing this from another hospital bed. Hospice is completely covered by my insurance and they can get me all the equipment I will need as I need it. Anything I need, be it meds, equipment or whatever, will be brought to my house.
They can provide stronger meds than doctors can. Longer lasting meds.
This decision was not made lightly. I spoke with surgeons, oncologists, doctors and the hospice person. It's time for me to live my life to the best for the time that I can. Not in and out of doctors offices, hospitals or chemo rooms.
All they do for the blockages is give me morphine to rest the intestines, nothing by mouth then onto a clear liquid diet then a full liquid diet. I can do that at home in more peaceful surroundings.
My daughter is here to help my husband. She has worked with mentally disabled and has helped with others that have faced similar challenges. As of now, I'm fully mobile if not a bit weak from not being able to eat much lately. As my husband says, I don't look sick, just a bit too skinny. I will have a drain for the ascites that builds up in my belly so that will help with my appetite.
I've been apprised of what the end will kind of be like. Sedated.

Peace is awesome. I pray that you have wonderful, compassionate caregivers. Do your best to enjoy your beautiful family. I don't have any more words right now...
And we know you weighed every option thoroughly and carefully. I know you have our full and unconditional support now and for anything you would ask of us. You are awesome Ms. Robin! You always have from the day GT and I bumped into you six years ago. What a wonderful day that was!My decision:

As always, you display incredible grace and strength. There’s a peace in surrender, I know. We all wish this wasn’t happening. Robin, I love you and I admire you. I can’t imagine what all of you are going through.
I do want your life to be as abundant as it can be. And I will continue to pray for you.

Wishing you the release of pain so you may feel the love and joy with your family and friends. Being at peace has been your goal, one way or another. May you be surrounded by all the people and things that bring you happiness. So much love is with you....
I'm at peace with my decision.
I think that's as much as any of us could wish for, for you, and for ourselves when the time comes, but..
speechless, Robin...
I'm at peace with my decision.
This is one of the hardest things to read ever.
I love you Robin - but you know that.
Just can’t imagine a world without you in it Robin but wholly understand your need for peace and as much comfort as you can find. There aren’t enough words to tell you how much you have meant to me over the years. You’ve been a source of comfort and wisdom for me on ECF. God bless you dear friendMy decision:

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 lives with all of us.
ECF is a special place filled with special people. I truly do love all of you and am so very thankful that my search for anything ecig related brought me to this site.
I will try to get online when things are quiet at home (when I get there)
There will be instructions to notify when the inevitable happens. Let's hope it is later rather than sooner.

I am at a loss for words right now, but just know that you and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers...I wish nothing but peace and comfort for you all...you have been an inspiration to so many here and the grace with which you have dealt with everything has truly touched me...Much love to you all!My decision:
