30 days???

Barbie, that story gives me a whole new view of "can you just give me 5 minutes?" :H (5 minutes?) At any rate, I agree with you. just posting seems to release the bindings whether someone answers or not.

Hearatlast, I am so glad to hear you are feeling better. I rest up and visit as often as you want, we need your input here.

I heard from Luv and she is doing fine, she is just busy and hasn't checked in lately. I'm glad she is doing well, I worry too much worried me.

I will check back in later, I have work again.

30 days???

Hey guys! Had one "free" day on Monday....lol.....my reg. scheduled day out with a pal for facials, I fell asleep, and when she put the hot towel on my face, I jumped and nearly flew off the table....I did treat my pal and my daughter, who went with us too, with my winnings from the Belmont! Filly wins, fillies go wild....lol.....After that, on Mon., we had 2 employee's out sick....at the first part of the month, with horse folks getting ready for the fall futurities, World Show, etc...so it was crazed....had to "pitch hit", be 4th string QB if there is such a thing....lol....I'm an ex pharm. sales rep., but I usually compound from the lab at our farm, or do sales from the computer...today was the "human" side of the pharmacy mostly....and let me tell ya....we are East of Jesus....in a very, very rural area, and I was HUMBLED totally today....makes me soooooo thankful for every blessing I have, this site, you guys, even ONE DAY sober Morrison....like everyone else, I've only been here a short time, and I've done DAY ONE so many times, but I'm sooo much better than before I ever found this site, I have to thank God everyday for leading me to this site!!!!!..... But I have to tell you, I feel guilty for having thought of "excuses" to drink after today, and like Bear, I'm feeling my feelings probably more than usual, and ya know, I think that's a good thing... we are probably the only pharmacy in our county that still delivers to folks homes, so I had to make a delivery to a lil woman who's car was "sick" she said...she called, and asked for our helper that had to be home with her son today, and I answered and she just cried about needing her meds, and how she couldn't get to the store, etc, etc.....I told her to hang on, I'd bring them....now you guys, I'm out with the horses most times, and do the vet stuff, so I'm not familiar with our homebound patients that much....God works in mysterious ways tho....I drive to an apt. complex in our lil rural town, that is Gov. subsidized, and find #54, and knock on the door, a dog goes nuts, and a woman is trying to get the dog to hush, and you'd have thought it was a Doberman, but it was a Taco Bell dog...lol.....anyway, she met me at the door, lil dog about to eat my leg, and wouldn't let it go unless I came in....I will tell you now, that without knowing, this woman had drank herself, and smoked herself into her situation, she was soooooo at the mercy of what she'd done to herself for years....all alone, except for the dog, in a tiny apt., on oxygen, so remorseful for her "deeds" as she put it...put sooooo sweet, so kind, was sooooo grateful for me coming, only wanted to "repay" me for bringing her meds to her, cuz she couldn't drive the 4 blks herself....guys, I saw US in her....and it was a sobering experience....she is ok now, but her past made her present, and no matter what she does now with her family, it doesn't matter, its over.....I was her "best friend" today.....and she is a sweeheart....I don't want to ever be there....I know God sent me there today.....I will go there and take her things and check on her from now on....its the least I can do, it could be me/us.....So....that's where I've been, its been nuts here, More2, I'll call ya tomorrow, and wish you were under the clay mask with me!,.....Bear, love ya, Luv, love you tons, Nib, you get Cody a friend, I'll send you one for free if ya want!....Here, and everyone else I've missed, I'll try to do better, leaving for Father's Day tho!!!!.....

30 days???

oh, what I wanted to say was this too....I was so moved, I couldn't think hardly....I went to her lil apt., and she wouldn't let me go until I came in for iced tea (a big Texas deal in summer...lol..)....and spent "a bit" talking, and going over the weather and news....her lil apt. was clean and tidy, and homey, but filled with thing from her "past" and she was sooooo reminescent..and remorseful, and regretful, but such a wonderful person to date, I know she was proabably like we've all been at one time or another, but to SEE IT...in fast forward...is eye opening.....and soooooo sad.....and yes, our health will suffer from the abuse of overindulging....not a doubt.....scary, sad, you name it.....

My poor, poor Mama. Breaks me heart in pieces. They asked her if she wanted to be part of a clinical trial today and she FREAKED out. Yelled at the nurse, started crying, said she wasn't a guinea pig....it was horrible. I asked the nurse to leave for a minute...I wanted to cry myself had to fight back tears, had a huge lump in my throat...calmed her down....she is crying saying she wants to leave and go home. I feel like dying myself I feel so bad for her. I get her calmed down and explain what a clinical trial is and why it is good and why I think she should do it, so we are doing it....WHEW...
CT scans show her entire liver is COVERED in cancer now. She has to have a blood transfusion tomorrow. Her hemoglobin is back down to 8.3...very, very low. God give me strength!!!

Love you all...

Oh Luv, I'm sooooo sorry.....gosh dern it! I want you to go to Joel Osteen's site and go to the bookstore part and get his Mom's book on Cured of Cancer, I'd get it for you, but it take longer for me to do it and then get it to you...its only like 5.00....she was given 3 wks to live, and they sent her home....she decided that somethings weren't possible with man, but they surely were with God, she found every scripture on healing, and wrote them down and went around reading them, praying, and walking to the mailbox repeating them constantly....that was 22 yrs ago!!! She had liver cancer too....He's the pastor of Lakewood Church, where we drive to go to church....awesome....so get it for her, and if she doesn't feel like it, read it to her...it has Dr's testimonies, and the scriptures and testimonies and all! It sure can't hurt!!! Joel Osteen Ministries: Welcome to Joel Osteen Ministries
Love ya Luv! And I have you in my prayers am/pm!
