bentnotbroken Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Good for you Bent!!! High fives all around the room. Thank you and in the name of Jesus we claim nothing but great news on your test. The thyroid is the next to become stable. I need my hair to grow back. The male pattern baldness is not cute on a female. And my head is shaped too funny to go for the Micheal Jordan look.

SoMovinOn Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 It was heaven... I took a solo motorcycle trip to clear my head, go over everything, think things through. I am so fed up with this life with my STBXW. Part of me still cares about her, loves her. I can't stay here and watch her self destruct any more. I can't help her. ... I decided, while I was gone, to talk to a lawyer, start the divorce, tell her she needs to get out as soon as possible. Not months from now... days or maybe weeks at the most. Then I rode down to Florida where my mOW/GF was spending the week with her sister. The three of us had a great time. Her sister took a day trip to hunt for fossils. GF & I got a whole day together to just be us. We never get that. We get and hour for lunch, 15 minute smoke breaks. I had a key to their condo. Let myself in, made coffee... took a long time in bed waking her up. We went to the beach, took a ride on the bike down the coast... she made me lunch... it was so normal and so spectacular at the same time. Now, we're back to real life and being with our spouses, being apart in unbearable. Change is in the air. Link to post Share on other sites
Hazyhead Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hey all I've come over to this thread for a bit of pleasantry instead of the old (far too old!) 'He blah, blah blah...' and 'What should I dooooo?' ness and you guys have made me smile and giggle. I'm happy for everyone's joy. WF, fab news on your biopsy results - there's nothing like good health news to spark a zest for life and fun And I know you'll make the most of that. Bent, I love your dry humour. Good luck with the hair growth, I'm sure you rock the look you have but it'll be nice for you to get your locks back. I want to say I'm happy that it's sunny but the frickin' sun has gone in! The bugger. So, I have a family bbq (or grill as you Americans call it, according to ol' Stampy) and it may turn into an indoor event. :-/ Either way, it'll be fun and, having been off for a week from work, a nice way to finish off the holiday. All the best to all. Link to post Share on other sites

turnstone Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I have a sister who has Neurofibromatosis Type 2. To cut a very long story short as a result of this condition she is now profoundly deaf and has had a facial palsy on the right hand side of her face for the last 25 years (she's 46 this year). Its tragic, really. While I think she's still beautiful, many don't; people have treated her like a freak show at times. Anyway she had a nerve transplant three months ago to try to correct the paralysis, she had to sleep sitting up, not allowed to eat anything but baby food for the first two months, and for the last month she's been having intense physio. Well, its paid off - Sarah's got her smile back! I've just got off the phone to my mother, we're all shrieking and crying and carrying on Link to post Share on other sites

crazycatlady Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 That is beautiful news turnstone. Truly. And I have good news too. The cancer scare is no more, the biopsy came back negative!!! I'm feeling quite giddy today. That is awesomely amazingly good news, WF. I'm happy to hear that! Whooo. I am happy that my baby girl turned 11 today. We had waffles for breakfast, and then she and I went shopping with her gift card from her grandma, she got some really cute outfits (she has amazing taste for 11, so confident and assure of herself, its truly beautiful watching her), then we had lunch, and then we went and she got her hairs and nails done (hair done like her idol Taylor Swift) and I got a pedi and a comp'ed parafin wax on my hands. And then we ran home to get the boys for dinner. At dinner her friend showed up bringing her gift. Which we made her wait 30 minutes to find out what it was lol. The three of us are going to a Taylor Swift concert in a few months. My girl looked at how my friend's mom had done up the tickets (on a cd case) and it took her a minute to figure out what they were and then she freaked! LOL. She is still almost floating at the idea she gets to see her idol in concert. I'm now currently getting "tattooed" by my children with washable paints. Could life get any better? I feel so blessed right now. Blessed that I could surprise my daughter with what she wants, blessed to have kids who are creative, blessed to have friends, blessed to have the husband I have, just really feeling blessed right now.

seren Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Turnstone, what a wonderful, beautiful outcome, Neurofibromatosis is so not understood and those with the disease often live their lives hidden for fear of ridicule by others, so this is such a good news post. I hope she finds many, many things to make her smile. Bent and WF, Hoobloodyrah!! for the good news and much kudos to you both for remaining positive. My brush with cancer was 5 years ago and I am now free of it. I have an urgent GP appointment (they rang this morning) as some bloods came back abnormal, par for the course, but suspect diabetes and am waiting for a lecture about diet and exercise, which will pee me off as I eat healthy am only mildly overweight and cannot exercise too much due to a legion of muscoskeletal problems. But the plus side is I get to visit the beach as the surgery is on the seafront. Here's to everyone who has battled something and won. Yay to meeting demons head on and winning!! Happy Times all xxx Link to post Share on other sites
turnstone Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Thank you so much Seren. You know a lot about it. Sarah has type 2, which means although she has a few tumours 'outside' they aren't really visible; her main problem are the tumours that grow inside - specifically her brain. The ridicule comes about not through disfiguring tumours, but the palsy that resulted from having her tumours removed that were attached to her facial as well as auditory nerves in her brain. And yea, here's to everyone who's overcome the odds; a very good sentiment Fingers crossed for your appointment. Link to post Share on other sites

bentnotbroken Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I'm happy that Bent, Seren and WF beat cancer back. Thank you. I need to clarify...it was only a cancer scare(family history of thyroid cancer). It still doesn't work right but we are finding the balance. Link to post Share on other sites

seren Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Went to close the gates to our property and in a lazy moment, left the laces to my boots undone, lace got caught in the door and ended up flat on my front in the mud, enter two bonkers dogs who decide it must be cue for puppy pile on. Much doggy wrestling later I laughed so much almost bust a gut and stopped my pity party dead. We had a power cut, everything was lit by firelight and candlelight for a good few hours, very romantic, even toasted bread on the fire ... ah I am a sucker for smoozy fireside hugs. Might even hit the trip switch every now and again. The new chicken house is up, now to pick up the girls from a battery farm rescue place. They need jumpers to keep them warm as they have few feathers. Fun knitting them and embroidering their names on the front. I have a Marilyn, Eva, Rita, Marlene, Bette, Hedy, Jean and Grace, all superstars with lovely soft alpaca jumpers. The great planting session is about to begin, the garden centre will be stripped bare in the next few weeks, I am so looking forward to beginning a new rose garden and have a huge patch set aside for wildflowers.

pureinheart Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Congrats to all that have possitive results concerning cancer...that is soooo awesome! (((((((((hugs))))))))) to all as I understand what it's like to be told you have to have a biopsy, wait for the appointment, then wait for the results...even though it's just a precaution (as in Bents case), the possibility is still there in the mind. Count me in on the cancer deal...cervical cancer at 27, had hysterectomy, 100% cure. Had a nodule on my thyroid, and they just now decided to biopsy it in Jan...all is well:) Let there be continued success with us all! Link to post Share on other sites

I suffer from chroic nerve pain in my right elbow / arm due to crushed nerves and I eagerly anticipate the day that medicine can help with it! I am so thrilled for your family!! Your post gave me hope. It is so crushing to deal with nerve issues! I have told my family that I give it 10 more years and then that's it, it is just too much to bear at times, but now I have hope!! Bent, you go girl! Keep it up!!!! And check into wigs- I have seen some of the best hair on a few people only to discover it wasn't there's I am happy that I was able to finally return to work after a two week hiatus due to surgery! I am so thankful that my surgery was a success and my doc is very pleased with my recovery. I am so blessed to have had my mom at my side, having come to my area to help take care of me so my husband doesn't have to shoulder the burden alone. I am very sad I have to say goodbye to her tomorrow when she flies home. Link to post Share on other sites

seren Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Was told I have type 2 Diabetes, which wasn't as bad as at might have been as it means I have to kick start the healthy living with a vengeance. Not too many pounds to lose, but it kicked me up the bum and I have enjoyed long doggie walks. The naughty puppy loves water, so a trip to the loch tonight was very wet and muddy. The dog is a loon. I love those moments when you just go ahhh, not in a screaming way, more in a relaxing whole body letting go way. Sunsets do that for me, especially while watching the herons at the same time. Our son comes North next week, it has only been 2 months since I last saw him, but I really miss him, he is such a lovely man, makes me laugh, jives with me in the kitchen, yes he always drinks my best wine but he is so worth it. I bloody hate the menopause, I also hate looking in the mirror and either seeing my Grandmother or Winston Churchill, on good days, sort of Lulu without the surgery, depending on how critical or kind I am being. In my brain I am 22, and while I don't look all of my 54 years, I am still older in my reflection than how I feel, which isn't a bad thing, but it is suprising sometimes. This usually results in hair dye, beauty treatments and a week of flouncing around the house being dramatic. Still it could be worse, I could be sad as it is, life is good. Happy Days to all xx Link to post Share on other sites
