Thanks Millie, It's always a treat to hear from you. We just deal with the pain, and hope nothing else happens, but if it does, we go to war. It has cooled down a little in FL, but the sun shone all day so can't complain much. March is usually great here, not too hot and no too cold. Yard smells heavenly with all the citrus blooms and the bees are happy. I love honey so I love the honey bee. I just got some honey mixed with pollen and royal jelly; may it will cure what ails me hehe. It sure does taste good. So to all our cml list, Blessings and hugs, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 3/6/2014 7:48:16 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Who's block are we going to have it on? I would love to join you all. I'm going to say thanks for everyone's response and hope that I can write each and every one of you soon. My arm (right) is giving me fits, so I do as much as I can, and then have to stop. I'm glad that I heard from everyone that has responded. Marty needs all of our prayers and love now, and he's getting it from you all. I'm hoping that all of our prayers help each and every one of us. It's difficult, but our group seems to pull together when one of us is hurting and that's exactly what we need. I just want to get past this latest pain and back to where I was. Sounds dumb I guess, but I'll never be without pain, just have to tolerate what I have and pray that will improve some. I'm doing the exercises that the therapist is giving me to do, so I am trying so hard to do what I need to do. Beth you have gone through so much and I hope that you don't try to force yourself to do to much. I only say this because I'm the same way. My shoulder does feel better today, so I push it and do to much but am telling myself not to do that. Just take it easy. I send love and hugs to each of you and keep you in my daily prayers always. Marty, you are so special to me and others and we want you to feel better and get back to us soon. I know that you are very tired now, but pray that will be over with soon, and that you can start getting your dialysis in your new fistula soon and that will do the trick. I know I'm leaving a bunch of you out, but not really.....I just need time to get back to all of you. Love & Hugs...lots of prayers to you too, Millie ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) To: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2014 5:52 PM Subject: Re: [CMLHope] Marty Thanks Beth, Hang in there; time will heal. What are your counts since you have been off the drug? Yes, it's scary off and scary on the drugs. Hope everyone gets better, and we will all have a block party.

I am slowly healing as well...back surgery taking much longer to heal than anyone could predict...nerves and wound healing.... somewhat compromised from long term use of our meds...will re-uptake sprycel next week....not what surgeon wants..but too long off becomes too scary to me....must get numbers back in control.....always a balancing act..for most I know....my woes seem far lighter than many here, so today I am praying that MIllie's pain eases and Marty, - the the new fistula ripens quickly so it can be used as soon as possible....hoping a donor will come any day...... and Pat E...wherever you are, I am praying for you as well.... take care to all, love and light, Beth -----Original Message----- From: Marty Gartenberg <[email protected]> To: cmlhope <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Mar 5, 2014 7:04 pm Subject: Re: [CMLHope] Marty Dear Millie and everyone else, Thank you for your concern. I am slowly getting back to myself. Dialysis is becoming more difficult and I am in need of a kidney transplant soon. A new fistula was put into my other arm but it has to mature for another month and a half in order to be used. Millie, I'm so sorry to hear that you have to go through all of that. As you pray for me so do I for you and everyone else. I have to get going now. I'm really tired. Until next time... 18's, Marty On Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 2:21 PM, houtz <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > wrote: I am so concerned about Marty. Has anyone heard from him besides me. The last I heard was days ago and he was having trouble with his dialysis and sounded really bad. If anyone has heard, would you please put it on our site. I will write again today and he has always answered my e-mails, even not feeling well. They were short, but I knew that he was not doing well. If I hear any more, I'll let you know. I know that dialysis wasn't going well and don't know if they were able to use his new port or not. Actually, it's not a port, but has another name that I forget. I haven't heard from any of you, so if you are checking your e-mails, please let me know what's going on with each one of you. My latest is that, even on 1/2 dose of the Tasigna, I'm still in remission. The bad news is that every muscle and joint in my body is screaming and they put me back on Home Care. I can hardly do anything. I did manage to go downstairs for a while today. My physical therapist came and had me go down.. This after noon my occupational therapist is coming to work on my upper body strength. She made it worse a year ago when she worked on it, so if that happens this time, I'll tell her that I don't want any. The gal that worked on my legs today was very good, and I want to keep her. The other one doesn't listen to anything you tell her. Oh well, others have thrown her out of their house, and I just might do the same thing. I have an aid that comes every couple of days to bathe me as I can't get into the shower right now. I'd fall if I tried. I can't use my walker very well, and just getting from my bedroom to the bathroom is horrible, causing me so much pain. I have to have someone with me when I attempt that. My aid and the nurse that comes a couple of times a week are wonderful. I had them the last two times I was under home care. I know that the nurse is going to take blood tomorrow. That's always fun. :>) I'm trying hard to do what I have to do. My wonderful son is doing everything for me right now and I want to get back to the point where I can do things for myself. Enough about me. I just wanted to catch up on these things with all of you. I hope that you're all doing as well as you can. Write and tell me how it's going. Thank God for my television, phone, and computer in my room. It's nice to be able to connect with the world. It keeps me out of trouble. Again, if anyone knows anything about Marty, please let us all know. If I hear anything, I'll let you know. Marty has become a good friend to me and to others on our site.
