Thanks ya'll. It has been a tough, tough couple of weeks for us. My hubby usually calls his mother on Wed nights, has so for years. He misses her so. Funny how the little things that brighten our lives, we take for granted. It rained during the funeral, contrasting with seeing so many family and friends and happy to see them too! We will miss her very much. For me, this is doubly hard, as a good friend of mine left us the Saturday before (Sue Koziol). For those who didn't know her, she was the president of CUSH. Sue wanted me to go to the CUSH meeting in April, but unfortunately, I am working on a weekend only type project and really can't be gone for three days. My brother (34) is also quite ill and has been hospitalized for almost 2 weeks now. He has sarcoid, and it has infiltrated everything (csf, bone, heart, liver, kidney, etc...) and he is progressing. I don't know if he will live a week, a month, a year, 5 years or 10. It is just a day at a time, it seems. I've been having alot of thoughts about my own life as well. I saw the endo today. My endo... oh... I wanted to avoid this appt. My tumor hypersecreted ACTH, GH, and PR, and he is cautious at saying that I am "cured" since surgery last year. His choice is that the hypersecretion is "quiet". A good friend of mine told me once that stable disease is good disease, and quite frankly, I want to keep "stable" even if it is just with positive thinking - lol. Alas, I did today and am doing testing tomnorrow to see if I can hide from the doctors another 6 months. Here ![]() is for numbers that don't raise eyebrows. I have a bunch of posts to read... and catch up on... but will have to be another night. Thanks so much all of you for the nice posts, and the nice e-mails. They mean alot and they uplift my spirits. Hugs... Minnie |
