Reading this reminds me of what my dad went thru going on3 years ago.Sure miss him...think of him all the time especially now with all this economic BS....when i was in my 20's he spoke to all of us about beginning 2 save 4 retirement early.I said dad can't the gov't take away what we save?he laughed and said no!i said i don't buy it!he again reassured me saying not to worry....never did believe it!and look whats happening 2 so many!
Hi girls, back from Portland for 24 hours. My father in law did so good through his surgery. It is truly amazing, but hey Our GOD is amazing, so why are we always amazed? duh. We are truly thankful that the cancer was contained in the bladder, the surgeon took the lymph nodes and the prostate and put a feeding tube into his stomach.
He said he wouldn't feel up to eating and nourishment was a must for healing.
He was in ICU just yesterday and today and i think was sent to a room later today. He may be there a week to 10 days, but i bet it is more like a week and then to a rehab center here to get stronger. He has a bag attached and won't be having to pee every 15 to 20 min. 24>7.
That was wearing him out. Hey, now he can just empty the bag maybe once a day, i don't know how big the bag will be. After 5 days up there Ed and I were worn out, our sister in law is up there with my mother in law and our daughter lives up there, so we felt comfortable coming on home. Hope you all are doing great. All of this has kept my mind off my sorrow over losing my brother, but it creeps back into my mind often.
Thank you all for thinking of me and Phartist, thank you so much for your message.
I have missed you all. Hugs, Tonya

my deepest most heartfelt sympathies to u my dear....i know ur grief....remember.....a drink won't erase it change a thing...won't make that pain go away....big cyberhug girl!:)
Kind of out of sorts here. My brother in Okla. died day before yesterday, heart attack and all of a sudden. So thankful we were there just 2 weeks ago. What a good visit we had with him. We won't be going back. Too expensive without 21 days advance.
But, am sending most of what that ticket would have cost to my sister in law to use as she needs to. They are all so upset as we are out here too. he was 67, but had not been in real good health. Kidneys, arthritis and diabetis. I guess it all just took a toll on his heart as well. Heading to Portland tomorrow for my father in laws tests Possible bladder removal on Monday. He is 84 and very fragile. Please remember us in your prayers. thanks so much girls. Love ya, Tonya

t-no need for ur folks to know u relapsed....just upsets them and u to re-hash it...toothpaste out of tube and can't go back in so vow to squeeze it no more!i bought some awesome jewlry from 2 navajo ppl with great talent and a most b-utiful aura....their spirit is in the pieces.i love Tommy Singer,Maria Salazar,Clem Nalwood 2 name a few.....bandita conchita-i refuse to board my dogs...i would have very sick animals!so yes that lil dog should come and stay with auntie bandita conchita!he b spoiled!i love this prayer..God help me 2 b the person my dog thinks i am!!!!!
She is a sandy little terrier mix. Sort of a little version of Benji. She has a purple tomgue which may mean she has some chow in her. I got her years agao while still living on the sailboat w/the Ex and my son. My girlfriend in Key West is a vet and knew we wanted a pet 4 Bobby and that could live on a boat. She was rescued by the Judge that granted my divorce who also got a DUI of her own... I am not making this up I promise!!! When we got the dog she looked pretty poopy and my ex and Bobby said they were going to name her Ann Bonnie after the famous female Pirate. I said Hell no that dog is just Scruffy looking...Hence her name. Shes has been with them Dad and My Mom who passed since 2000. She did not like the little apt I rented when I moved out of their house and told me so by chewing up 2 sets of mini blinds in 2 days. So I let her go back to Grammy and Grampy. She is my Dad's life right now. I worry about the day when she leaves to Doggy Heaven. He'll be devastated! But I can't wait 2 see them both!!!!
That is one more excellent reason for my little girls to go to a pow wow and celebrate their heritage, their nana needs more jewelry. NOT ha ha I buy lots of southwestern jewelry from QVC. Love Carolyn Pollacks line alot.
Bandi, that is great. You'll see your Dad and get the dog for awhile anyway. A win win situation. What kind of dog is it? Not one of Ibi/s beloved Greyhounds? Wouldn't that be a coincidence.
Meeting with my sponsor in the a.m. before our meeting. I have really been slack on reading the Big book and the step book also. I almost feel like telling her to give up on me. My heart hasn't been in it. Been in my Mom's health and now Dad's health. Cheated twice in a month. She is going to get sick of hearing that, i am sure.
As far as the therapy goes. I do believe i have really come somewhere with that. I have told my therapist everything. Some tears, lots of anxiety and she has helped me immensely to work through some difficult memories. We are cutting back to once every 2 weeks and then once a month a time or two and then stop. She said I can always come back if I have problems. I know i needed to get alot of stuff out that i have hauled with me throughout my life. Just her calming way and telling me that No, i shouldn't have been treated the way i was. I was an innocent little girl. I kind of became that little girl again during a couple of those sessions. Strange what our mind can and does do. Oh enough on me. Hope you girls have a great week. Hugs, TJ

He is going 2 go hunting in Vermont soon and is trying to figure out what to do with his Doggy...which used 2 be mine. I told him Daddy Pleeeeze bring her up here don't put her in a kennel. He was going to leave her with my aunt in N. Carolina. I said why would U do that I'M right here plus if U drop her off and pick her up that gives me 2 chances 2 see you!!!!! He said I know but I'm afraid you won't give her back 2 me. I told him that would not happen she is his 4 ever!!!!! Last time he put her in boarding she got sick..so I told him al the more reason to bring her here!!! It's on his way anyway! OK I know I'm running on ladies blah...blah blah.

Good to hear your Mom is doing good. Mine seems to be as well. I guess we take it as it comes. Right now just dealing with Ed's Dad is a load and in the Lord's hands.
Thank you for your kind words. Indian pow wow. I would love to do that. Got a little cherokee in me, but who doesn't? ha ha Now my little grand daughters have Umpqua indian in them. Enough that they will have quite the college fund when they are to that age. I wanted to take them to the Umpqua pow wow, but found out after the fact that it was in April. So i will be prepared next year. I call them my little indian princess's.
One is blue eyed and the other is our only brown eyes grandchild. She is full of it too, if you know what i mean. ha You have a great week. Bandi and Phtartist, you two as well. Where are you Phtartist ( i've got to come up with another name for you)? I know Bandi is manning the Sub shop and letting her boss think he is the Boss. We women are smart that way. I will check the posts manana. Hugs to all, Tonya
