Never think that, my brother... if there is one thing that I have learned through this, it is that every person's problems matter. Your problems affect you, they are important to you, and you matter; therefore, your problems matter. I do appreciate that you feel my problems are more significant, and they are indeed rather serious, but I would never belittle another person's personal feelings of hardship.
trust me, bro. i'm not one known to belittle my problems. a week or two ago i was quite maudlin about my tiny world of hurt, but right now, my biggest concern is i've been up all night and this morning, not to mention day doesn't appear to be willing to end anytime soon...
all that said, i admire how you are handling your real problems
Kaz, I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through right now, and what you have gone through the last few months. I haven't known you as long as some of the others here have but it has been obvious to me how much you love your wife, and it must be hard to be unable to fix things for her. But just being there for her the way you have probably means more to her than you know, just remember that if you ever feel like wish you could do more. You are already doing the most important thing you can do.
My thoughts are with you and your bride, and my prayers as well. Brother, if you need anything at all I'm here for you.
I know, Hun. And it will get discussed at the appointment on Friday. One way or another, we will discuss this and any other options. As I said, I'll support any decision that she makes, but I also want to make sure that she has all of the info she needs to make that decision.
Absolutely!

Haha! I know what you mean, bro. When it's me that is sick, I'll piss and moan until I feel better. I'm utterly useless when I get even the tiniest bit sick! As for how I'm currently handling things... well, it's the only way I've found to handle it without going completely insane. I've had to pretty much just switch my brain over to pure logical mode and drown most of the emotions in bourbon... probably not the healthiest way to go about things, but it's the best I've got right now.
Now go get some sleep, brother... you got a lotta ...... to do tonight.
Kev, you've been a great friend in the short time that we've known each other. And I know that you've had your own hardships in the past, and that you still face them to this day and evermore. You, my Brother, are an inspiration and I definitely wish you the best that life has to offer. Thank you for the kind words, thank you for the prayers; thank you for being my friend and my Brother. (uh-oh, looks like ya done gone and hit da other thread too... I'll see ya over there)
Legs, I understand your frustration. I am a Texan. I live in TX. I deal with the neverending chronic pain, too. And I have very little support network to help. I do it alone. I had hydrocodone yanked from under me, too. Now I could go to the Dr, pay a co-pay, plus 25.00 for the Dr to provide a triplicate form. Or I could move on to a different pain med. I decided to try a different med. I'm on Tylenol 3 now. It seemed like it didn't work as well for the first few month's & I was taking it more often than I was accustomed to. But after a bit I realized I wasn't taking it as often & was back on the same schedule I'd been on with the hydrocodone & it was working fine. I contol my use of pain meds very strictly. Other than the one I know I need at night, I don't take any unless I am actually in pain. Even tho the rx might say every four hours I don't just take one every 4 hours because it says I can. I take one or 1/2 of one if pain is actually occuring. I'm not blaming the State or the gov't for something brought on by irresponcibilty of quack's, addict', & drug dealers. People truely experiencing pain are paying the cost of their idiocy. I'm thankful that we have many options available & aren't restricted to that one or two drugs. Our Governor is a wheelchair bound paraplegic, who deals with pain & ghost pain. The decision to sign that legislation effected him personally & was not essy to make. Give it a rest. Put the blame where it belongs.

Kaez all my problems are minimal compared to you and yours. All my thoughts and prayers go out to your wife. Cancer is such an insidious disease. And it seems it doesn't care who it hits. I understand her feeling though my SIL did the same thing plus her insurance ran out so they just sent her on her way.
Legs, I'll tell you the same thing I told MT just a bit ago... there's no such thing, Sir. One cannot and should not compare their problems to those of another. I can't imagine enduring the things that you've endured thus far in your life. I can only hope to possess the strength that I have seen in you during my short tenure here on the porches. Though I do completely appreciate your sentiment and will readily accept your thoughts and prayers on her behalf. I'm sorry to hear about your SIL, it's a damned shame that insurance gives out on those who truly need it. In our case, the insurance is still covering things as they should... we're very blessed to have the insurance plan that we have. For me, it's just hard to watch a 45, almost 46 year old woman have to struggle with a decision on how to address the end (or potential end) of her life due to a disease that seemingly came out of the blue. She'd always thought that the Type I diabetes would be what would take her in the end... it'd been drilled into her head from the age of 10 that her life would be severely shortened by that disease. Then cancer comes out of nowhere and drops the trump card... it just ain't right.
That method has centuries of endorsement, by many, some of whom decide to abandon the logical mode option. Other options, though, remain popular: vodka, rum, whiskey, wine and beer to name a few.
This group is remarkable in its ability both to share and to be shared with. Just remarkable, and I think we're all the better for it.
Oh, and I GOT to ask: is Kaezziel your name in real life? If so, your parents get a prize, at least honorable mention, for "most unusual naming of a child".
Hahaha! Yeah, I primarily stick to either Kentucky bourbon, or Jack Daniels... both of those have gotten me through many, many trying times!
As for the name... no. That name is entirely derived from my own odd mind. I'm usually not one to share my given name in online forums, but I suppose that I feel comfortable enough here that I shall do so. Oddly, much like the men of your family, I go by my middle name: Daniel.
Okay... well, it's that time of the day for me. Quittin' time!
So, I'd definitely like to thank you all for the kind words, prayers, and support. It means more to me than I could possibly express. Good Lord willin'; and the creek don't rise... I'll see y'all tomorrow! Much love to all!

I admire your strength and attitude.
Fortunately, I have not (yet) had to deal with the health issues others here have. Not for myself or my husband and son. You are all an inspiration in hope, strength and endurance. And Kaz, your bride is so young to have to go through this. I lost my mother and several friends to cancer. Some very young. It is an insidious disease with no compassion. I am not really a prayer person,. I was raised in the Christian church but don't find my savior within walls. I DO believe in a higher power, a "God" so to speak. I do NOT! mean to demean anyone who goes to church regularly. I actually envy your belief. Religion is a very personal, powerful state. I hold you all in my own prayers, in my own way, and I send all the strength, hope and compassion possible.
I liked these posts more so I know I have read every one, not that I "like" what is being said. Every one of you means so much to me, and I learn and feel as you share. You are all an inspiration to me.

Speaking (again) of names, I am proud to announce that my generation of males in the family uses their first names. Then again, none of us were boys named Sue.
Not sure if I posted this picture last week. If so you'll forgive me. I know that I posted a similar one with less peoples in it. This picture was at my Uncle David's funeral proceedings and my sister Jean took a pitcher of the pitcher with her iPhone. My paternal great-grandparents, grandparents, and 2nd through 6th youngest of the 11 kids. The youngest wasn't born yet.
The pouting youngest one in the picture is my Dad. Great grandpa Louis Napoleon Bellware came from Canada and fought for the Union Army at age 14, then stuck around for the fine Kentucky bourbon. Pic had to have been taken within a year of 1930 cuz Dad was born in 1926.

Not to perpetuate stereotypes, but that guy looking out from underneath the hat isn't Buddy Ebsen, then. Could've been his brother.
Now that you mention it, yep, Buddy Ebsen sure did seem to frequent the same haberdashery that my great grandpa did.
