LilBit vs. the Big C

[NoraC]

Just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you. Thank you for sharing your journey. :hug:

Lil, should I feel bad? Your post made me laugh out loud! Sorry if that's in bad taste but you are funny as hell, lady!

Holding you close in my thoughts and heart.

[SoberSoul]

I`ll be following along an rooting for you. You sure have survived a Cat`s worth of lives. Your sense of humour, optimism, pizzazz, openness and charisma will see you through the worst of it for sure. You could not have cancer at a better time in medical history. They have lots of options and new developments in this field and San Fransisco is a sophisticated city.

Stay strong and catch the love and hope I am sending your way!

Thanks, Ginger and by all means, NO! Please laugh. It's like I told my sister when I sent her my serious AD papers, there's no reason why this can't be fun, too. I refuse, refuse, REFUSE to turn my happy, triumphant AF life into a pit of despair over this passing episode. And, I am so grateful to all of you for coming along on the ride with me.

Here's the pic I sent to my sis along with the Advanced Directive docs.

I will but you are not going to die.

Robert has in his care directive that he wants me there to be praying with his friend Geoff (jehovah witness). I said to him i know one damn prayer and only two lines of it, so what was i to do to pass the time for gods sakes! It appears that was not really his directive but whomever wrote it for him put it in. I told him i will sing and boy is my voice bad! I am available for singing but not praying Lil.

[LilBit]

Thanks, Ava. I don't plan on dying anytime soon. I will be around to annoy the feck out of everyone for quite some time. That said, do you know any songs that begin with, "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK...?" It's best to have one's bases covered.

ha ha, yes but only the bit you quoted but i am very good at humming and making up words! something like "i sleep all night and work all day" maybe!

[Pavati]

Hah. Lil - apart from here, I hope you are keeping these posts. Maybe here is enough, but you are very funny and a fantastic writer. I see a book in your future. I was trying to think of a snappy title, but my brain seems to have shut off for the evening...

Keep making me laugh.

I second that book idea! What a great read for those going through something like this. Laughing is the BEST medicine and looking at this experience with a light heart can only be a good thing, right?

[Turnagain]

I third that book deal! You've got a gift that sure could help a lot of people. Wait - You're already doing that...Thanks for sharing this with us, Lilbit....You are one feisty fighter with a powerful 'tude!

Wow, thank you, guys! It has always been my dream to be an author, and I have several unfinished books in the works. 'Hoping now that I no longer have AL tying one hand behind my back and taking up all that precious time, I can finish them. For the past 20 years, I paid my dues doing technical writing, so hopefully I have the basics down. Now, raise your hand if you want to know how to automate regression, scaling and performance testing on scalable apps using a mainframe...

<more crickets>

No takers? See, that's what I mean. It paid the bills but...yawn! I'm looking forward to writing about something with little or no circuitry. 'Truly appreciate the encouragement and love the "Ta Tas" tee!

[Ginger999]

Haha I'll pass on the mainframe read but I'd be happy to read anything else you've written! I was a DBA before I retired and also did a lot of institutional data crunching. I know all about crickets!

[Lavande]

I don't know much about crickets Lil but I do know a good bit about chickens

I think I have O. C. D. ~ Obsessive Chicken Disorder, ha ha!!!!!
I can make t shirts for all of us!!!
