Author Topic: Memorial Service for an Old Friend Crow Woman Knows what it's all about Member # 157 posted June 25, 2008 02:13 AM                    ha ha... made ya look, didn't I Yep, this weekend I will be having a memorial service for a friend who has been with me for 45 years. She has always been on top of things and always a familiar face to me, sometimes comforting, sometimes scary, sometimes beautiful, but never left me, no matter how hard times got. But come monday morning, she will be forever changed. If you have heard the rumors, yes it is true... I have cancer. On monday, they will start cutting away at my face, until all the cancer is removed as long as they can get it all. Then they will immediately go through the tedious task of reconstructing a new face for me. Possible implants and skin stretching and the whole 9 yards. It will be at least a 3 hour operation. Hopefully, I will be the exception to what all the research has led me to, like permanent disfigurement, and hopefully I will come out looking somewhat normal. Fingers crossed. But for now, I will say so long to that face that has always looked back at me and get ready for the new look of the Ole Crow. Maybe the coyotes won't recognize me anymore and I will have an edge when I'm allowed back out hunting. Ya never know Maybe I'll look like Jessica Simpson or Angelina or how about Farrah Fawcette... she must be 200 by now and still looks gorgeous! So light a candle, burn some sage or have a moment of silence this weekend, for the face of The Old Crow is leaving the nest! -------------------- Sheri L Baity Lord, Please give me peace, because if you give me strength, I might beat someone to death!

I wish you all the best, and certainly will keep you in my thoughts this weekend. -------------------- Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an ass kickin'.

In a much less serious surgery a few years ago, when they reamed out my eye sockets and put my eyes back in place after severe Grave's disease, the doc asked me for a photo of my face taken before my disfigurement. He took it into the operating room with him and used it as a guide for positioning my eyes. I gave him a photo of Tom Cruise.

Sheri, I just read this post and even before reading the replies, I went upstairs to share with my wife. She almost went into tears. We will hold hands this evening as a family and pray for you! -------------------- I love my critters and chick!!!! :) Posts: 2219 | From: CO | Registered: Jan 2003  |  IP: Logged Crow Woman Knows what it's all about Member # 157 posted June 25, 2008 02:41 PM                    Thanks Everyone... Prayers are one of my favorite thing to receive Leonard, it turns out that I only had to have the surgeon's money up front. The rest, I will cross that bridge when I get to it. Ya know how they mark you now in the hospital so that they don't cut in the wrong area? Well, I think, when they are not looking, I will throw in a few dozen extra marks, like a rack lift, tummy tuck, lyposuction... etc You know, the bare essentials... That way, if I can't stand to look at my face anymore, I will love my new body! I'll have my daughter keep ya posted. I think I'll be down for a little while. -------------------- Sheri L Baity Lord, Please give me peace, because if you give me strength, I might beat someone to death!

LOL My thoughts will be with you. The important thing is that you're dealing with it and looking toward getting better. The blessing is that your prognosis is good.

I had a dream last night. The surgeon is standing there putting me back together and then he holds up a femor(sp?) and asked, "Does anybody no where this goes?" I remember laying there thinking, "Now what in the H*ll does my leg bone have anything to do with MY surgery??!!??" and then my next question was, "Why in the H*ll did I prepay?" oooOOOoooo... the mind is a dangerous thing when you have idle time -------------------- Sheri L Baity Lord, Please give me peace, because if you give me strength, I might beat someone to death!

The countdown has started. I'm doing pretty good today. I have a Get R'Done attitude. Tonight I pray that they get all the cancer, I don't lose an eye and I don't lose any bone. The rest, I will just pray for acceptance, that I can accept what I will look like. -------------------- Sheri L Baity Lord, Please give me peace, because if you give me strength, I might beat someone to death!

Yeah, she's higher than a kite, but coherent. The Surgeon apparently got all the bad tissue and left intact all bone structure and muscles, eye is fine. She hopes that her Angelina Joulie(sp) lips are permanent, but it's possible the swelling will eventually go down. She sounds upbeat and relieved. Apparently, prayer worked, best possible outcome!

She must have married Brad Pitt for his money, cause he sure ain't ringing her bell like Billy Bob Did ! -------------------- Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an ass kickin'.
