I am delighted to know that your finally going to speak to your doctor and please don't forget too let him know that you already have taken some "vacations" from your Gleevic because you really want him to try and realize that you are still doing okay. I wish that each and every one of you a very HEALTHY and HAPPY New Year. You really are warriors. 18's Marty On Sun, Dec 31, 2017 at 3:12 PM, 'Jeanie' via CMLHope <[email protected]> wrote: Happy New Year to all.

It depends on what kinds of pain that i am having and it's intensity and how long it lasts. If it's light to moderate then i just try to relax my mind and try to deal with but severe pain must be dealt with but i try not to use any opiates but try anything else that may help me but some times i have to use some opiates but not for a long time. Here is a joke for better words to use. I went to the doctor because i hurt my leg every time my fingers touch my leg. No problem says the doctor and he takes out a hammer and hits my hand. I yell out why did you do that, now my hand hurt so badly, my leg doesn't hurt as bad as my hand... Exactly says the doctor. 18's Marty PS Yes I do remember Millie On Fri, Dec 29, 2017 at 9:33 AM, 'Jeanie' via CMLHope <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Elizabeth and thanks for the uplift. My dryer just decided to hit the dust probably just old age like me. Hehe. Wonderful day with beautiful weather. When I would tell my doctor I was old he would say he didn't want to hear about age. He is in his 70s and still going strong. Well he is retiring and I wish him all the best. He is Dr Balducci head of the senior department of Moffitt Cancer center. What is neat is that his wife is head of senior department of the veterans department of the veterans hospital that is located right up the street from Moffitt. My right hand is still hurting and always wonder what is next. How many here have the tradition of black eyed peas and ham hock? Don't know why. My sister had 4 wheelers and I got talked into taking a ride. I was scared to death. They had 5 acres of woods and away we went. Fun ride but scary none the less. Marty, what do you do for pain? Remember Milly? She used a lot of heat and cold with opiates. I think that was before they cracked down on opiates. Happy New Year everyone!

Well he is for sure. A very blessed healthy and happy New Year to him, and you as well... I would like to teach you a word: Bashert meaning: It's meant to be. 18's, it's meaning is LIFE.

We're not sure just why, but try to not hold anything which might break or spill. We hope everyone had many blessings from your Christmas or Holiday Season. We have been counting the biggest blessings of being together another year, having good contact with our families, having a faith community, having food, ability to see, hear, think, and thank God for another day. We try to be good listeners and encouragers to others. Pray for each of you as we read your name on the sites. Having had a wonderful Oncologist and Staff who are so supportive of every patient who is in their care. t This site has been a huge encouragement as Nick goes through stages of CML and Gleevec..
