- Thanks to The Ming, many of you already know about my friend, Julie.
She has had another intestinal bleed some years after she recovered from colorectal cancer.
They don't know what the cause of the bleeding is.
They want to remove her colon to stop the bleeding (perhaps the tissue is damaged from radiation and is so compromised that it's falling apart...).
This is not a good sign at all.
She's been through so much...I just pray this is not a recurrence and that they can get her fixed up in a hurry. Without surgery.
Please say a prayer for her. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer.
- My workplace has banned LJ so I will no longer be able to post at work or read my flist. If I stay away too long or you get to missin' me, poke me, OK? I don't read online much at home though I am almost always in front of my laptop.
- I got a small raise at work. Given the economy, I wasn't expecting anything, but I got one! I am so grateful to have a job I love; getting a raise in bad times is absolute gravy!
- I had to get a new doc as mine left internal medicine for urgent care. I met the new one on Monday and I like him. He's a nice guy, thorough, and apparently not a fat bigot. WHEEE!
- Lots of stuff going on with Mom (not bad, just difficult to manage from a distance), so I'm pretty distracted and wound up about that. If you think of it, say a little prayer for Mom, too, and ask the TV gods to quit messing with her.
Thank you all for remembering Julie (and Mom). GREAT BIG HUGS coming your way!
