Author Topic: Memorial Service for an Old Friend Leonard HMFIC Member # 2 posted June 30, 2008 06:08 PM                       Tim, I think I know the reason. Brad is probably a Democrat? See below: A woman, married three times, walked into a bridal shop one day and told the sales clerk that she was looking for a wedding gown for her fourth wedding. 'Of course, madam,' replied the sales clerk, 'exactly what type and color are you looking for?' The bride to be said, 'A long frilly white dress with a veil.' The sales clerk hesitated a bit, then said, 'Please don't take this the wrong way, but gowns of that nature are considered more appropriate for brides who are being married the first time - for those who are a bit more innocent, if you know what I mean. Perhaps ivory or sky blue would be nice?' 'Well,' replied the customer, a little peeved at the clerk's directness, 'I can assure you that a white gown would be quite appropriate. Believe it or not, despite all my marriages, I remain as innocent as a first-time bride. You see, my first husband was so excited about our wedding he died as we were checking into our hotel. My second husband and I got into such a terrible fight in the limo on our way to our honeymoon that we had that wedding annulled immediately and never spoke to each other again.' 'What about your third husband?' asked the sales clerk. 'That one was a Democrat,' said the woman, 'and every night for four years, he just sat on the edge of the bed and told me how good it was going to be, but nothing ever happened.' -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All.

Had a bit of a scary moment. I was talking to Ronnie on the phone then had to cut him short when this stream of blood came running down my neck. I panicked, but Jamie stayed cool and called the Doc. It turns out that this is a good thing. He said it's just my drain doing it's job and getting rid of excess blood. Okie Dokie... I still have great looking lips. Managing the pain with just tylenol now. And of course taking my antibiotics. I go Thursday to the Doc's while they change the dressing. You know what... I will even look... do you know why... because it doesn't matter... I'M CANCER FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehe... ok... it's back to sleep for a little while longer. Thank You Everyone!!! I just wish there was a word that was better than Thank You!

Just remember that the bandages and all are temporary and that in time, they'll all be gone but you'll still be here to raise hell. My sister-in-law is just starting her battle against cancer. her progress is going better than even her oncologist was expecting, but she began losing her hair this week and it's playing on her a lot. Success stories like yours mean a lot right now. Best of luck. Lance -------------------- I am only one. But still, I am one.

This has been such an emotional struggle for me. On the outside it was so easy to do the joking route, but on the inside I was in pieces. It got closer to the surgery and something clicked... oh well... get r'done. So that moment, I guess I grabbed ahold of my cahonies and moved forward. Grabbed ahold of faith, prayers, friends and gave it all up to the big guy. I'm so happy I chose the right path in the end. I got my laugh back... and I have been having some amazing prayers answered. Much prayers are being sent your way Lance for your S-I-L. You can give her my email addie if you want. I got the biggest prayer answered today when I got home... I got a temporary medicaid approval with pay down program. Just a little money I will have to come up with, but, that is ok with me. It is only issued for this illness. I'm feeling so blessed right now! Again, Thank You Everyone! Now lets get back to some hunting -------------------- Sheri L Baity Lord, Please give me peace, because if you give me strength, I might beat someone to death!

Member # 7 posted July 03, 2008 05:36 PM                       Sheri, I'll pass it along to her tomorrow when the family is all together. Like I said, she began losing her hair the other day and as much as she'd prepared herself for that eventuality, she's still upset. I plan to remind her that hers fell out in a matter of days. I've endured this torture for going on about fifteen years now. I told her that I was going to cut all my hair off as a show of support, and I did. I can't tell the difference in how I look. (AS a matter of fact, the little frowny guy ^^^ there has about the right amount of hair to look like me. ) [ July 03, 2008, 05:37 PM: Message edited by: Cdog911 ] -------------------- I am only one.

That's not bad at all for this close to the surgery. I figured you would still be black and green from chin to hairline, and was praying for no mishapen parts. You're gonna heal up fine, and they usually do a few follow up tweaks to get make it better if needed. Seriously, you look great.

I had no clue until I clicked in and read this. I’m happy things are working out. Those scars don’t look so bad, you look lots better than I did after my buddy let Jim Beam drive and my head went through the passenger window, well….. even before for that matter, but I am talking specifically about the cuts and bruises.

Yes, I'm doing wonderful. All of the stitches are gone. Just a very strict, extensive skin regiment that I have to do every 3 hours and now I have to massage my face whenever I think about it or every three hours. I guess this will help prevent scar tissue from forming or something like that. I never have been very good at sharing my problems, have I? Oh well, it's all good now. I need to make an appt with a skin guy now. I've had a spot on my back that has been itching for about 4-5 monthes now. You can't see anything, but the itch has been terrible. After what they found on my face, it's better to be safe than sorry, donchaknow George and Okanegan(sp?)... Thank You!

I want to hear about your first foray into your coyotes living room. IP: Logged Cdog911 "There are some ideas so absurd only an intellectual could believe them."--George Orwell.

My Sis in law has made it through her second round of chemo and all the swollen nodes they could feel are gone. She is in Colorado at a family event this weekend, then will be home next week in time for a PET scan and her third round. Your updates are timely and encouraging since all too often, all we hear about are those that fight but do not win. Keep the good karma comin'!!! -------------------- I am only one.
