Dear Marty, I too hope you get good news regarding your kidney transplant soon. Regarding Shyloh and being frightened by thunderstorms....my Gracie, ( affenpincer) has had that issue since she was a puppy. I bought her a "thunder coat" which is a coat that fits snuggly on the dog, and it makes them feel safer and more secure, kind of like when you swattel babies. If you google it you can see them and get them on Amazon or even the local pet stores carry them. It has really helped Gracie to tolerate better rain and thunder...she still shakes...but it's much much better since the thunder coat. They come in all sizes and colors...just a thought...
Millie, feel better.....take a long nap and may you feel the love around you when you wake up..thanks for checking out the sites... to everyone, this month,and especially September 22nd, I wish a feeling of togetherness, and unity, and family for all of us. take care, `18's Beth -----Original Message----- From: Marty Gartenberg <[email protected]> To: cmlhope <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Sep 12, 2013 4:09 pm Subject: Re: [CMLHope] Hello You know Millie, This is what I just love about you. You actually send each person your thoughts about them and how they are doing and do it all at once. Very cleaver if you ask me. By the way Millie, just because you had one very good day with your son it doesn't mean that you won't have many more dood days and that is what I wish for you. You are correct about we have to do what we have to do. Also, worring about something isn't going to make it better or worse. It will be what it is and either way we will have to deal with anything that comes our way, and we will. I admire you for the way you think. To answer your question about the rain, well, we have had our share. I really don't mind the rain so much but here in Pennsylvania that rain changes over to snow, and that is what I really mind. That is why we moved to Florida. What I really feel badly about is whenever it rains it comes with thunder and lightening. My dog Shyloh is so afraid of the thunder and lightening that she shivvers and hides under the bed. She won't even come out to eat or go out. Yes, we just started packing everything up for our trip back to Florida. We will be leaving here on September 21st. We have a unique way of packing. Since I have a Grand Caravan all of the seats go into the floor, Stow and Go is what it's called. We keep only one seat up besides the two in front. That seat is for our daughter Meredith who travels back and forth with us. With these seats down and stowed away we have plenty of room because the floor is mostly flat. Whenever we go yo Costco I ask the manager if I could have any empty wooden wine boxes. He usually gives me a couple each time we are there. I then buy a quater inch thick piece of plywood and cut out the covers for them. We pack just about everything in them and then I use small brads to close them up. I label each box so I know where everything has to go once we get back to Florida. You know what Millie? I'm sending all of your hugs right back at you. I hope that they make you feel better, and of course.... 18's Marty On Thu, Sep 12, 2013 at 3:55 PM, C.M.

I have had a lot of pain since, so I'm so happy that I took advantage of that day. Unless you've been in the house for months (other then doctors), you can't understand how great it felt. I know that Marty knows....even more then I do, how it feels to be in one place for a long period of time. We do what we have to do. I haven't tried my popcorn cycle yet, Norm, so I'll have to let you know. The one that I used on the other one, more then anything, was the rice cycle. It made perfect rice and am hoping that this one will too. Using these wonderful inventions makes my life so much easier. I am glad every day for my food processor as it does a lot that I can't do anymore. At any rate, it was good to share it with you all. Did you get the heavy rain up in your area of PA, Marty? We didn't get anything, but it looks like we could today. We've been fortunate here in this area. Sue, I hope that you remain in remission. I know that my numbers have increased, but won't know by how much until I see the doctor again. He ordered a liver function and CBC this time. He won't do any other testing until they see what my liver is able to handle, and then might increase it to full strength at some point. I try not to worry or think about it as it doesn't do you any good. Stay positive, and, as always, I will keep you all in my prayers. Beth, I haven't checked out the sites you sent yet, but will try to do so later today. Right now I'm going to take a much needed nap. I'm not sure if that's the CML or just being 74 that requires a nap, but lately, I've been taking them. You all take care and let me know how you're doing. I know that Marty and Shelly will soon be heading for Florida again. I hope that you have a wonderful trip and that you get some good news about having your kidney replaced. Let us know how it goes when you can. Talk to you all soon.
