I'm two weeks out from my hysterectomy, so I had a post op appointment with my doc. He told me that the test results show that I have cancer. Not only (was) it uterine but ovarian as well. With my uterus/ovaries/fallopian tubes gone, they still need to do a biopsy to see if it has spread, He said it looks to be in early stage as yet, so I'm hoping ( Read more... )

I'm without cable and internet, as well as having a computer on the fritz, so my LJ times will be sparce for the forseable future. It's a pain in the ass to get on from my phone as well, so unless I can use apublic computer, I won't be here for a while. I just wanted to let ya'll know so you don't wonder about me. I hope you're all doing well.

...at the ripe old age of 53, that I'm in love and I have a boyfriend. My Daniel is in the Army, but will be retiring in December and coming home to me. God, please let him be my forever love!

EDITED TO ADD: He turned into another spamming jerkwad. I'm giving up on online dating, for a while. I don't need the stress and heartache.

I told ya'll the other day I'd met someone. Yeah, he turned into an asshole. We haven't met in person and have only texted, and he had the balls to ask me to send him money. I don't think so, dickwad.

...but I've met someone, and I think it has the possibility of going somewhere. I met him on a dating site, and from past experience I had my doubts it would work because it never has before. In less than a week I got to messaging with a few guys, and a few sounded interesting, but tonight I started speaking with this one, then we moved to texting ( Read more... )

We lost my mom just after midnight this morning. I'm incredibly sad, but also glad because she's now getting the rest and peace she needed for so long.

Thanks for the prayers and good thoughts so many of you sent our way this last month and more on her behalf. <3

Once again, I come to my friends here to humbly ask for prayers and good wishes, this time for my mom. We've just been kicked in our heads with some worrisome news concerning her health, and it's probably going to be rough in the days and months ahead. I'm not going into details since it's about her and not myself, but prayers for my whole family ( Read more... )

The Jester’s Mask

The stage is bare
The spotlight is dim
The laughter is silenced
How we will miss him

Behind the mask
Tears we did not see
Darkness we never knew
Now we pray you are free

For Robin

My brother just found out he's got shingles. Have any of you had it before and can share advice on how to deal with it, and what he can expect? Thanks.

My best friend's memorial service was yesterday afternoon. It's been a hard week, but now that we've said our goodbyes and it feels real that she's gone, maybe I can move on. I still find myself thinking every once in a while that I need to call her to tell her something, and then it strikes me I can't ( Read more... )
