  • When will the pain stop?

    Saturday, August 16, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Unfortantely, a week has passed by, and I am still in the hospital. It seemed as if things were slowly getting better, and I could feel me being discharged around the corner. Boy, was I wrong; I am not sure when I'll be able to go home. It seems as if I have taken 2 steps forward, and 5 back. At this point, I just don't know what to do anymore. I was eating regular food, and after I ate i...

    Thursday, September 11, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Lately, I have been trouble sleeping. For soem reason the rape has been on my mind, and when I try to go to sleep, I relive it over & over. I am just not sure what is triggering it. Me, not being able to sleep is really taking a toll on me, and that is not good. Especially, when my body has been so run down lately.
    I have considered in going to see a phychatrist to see if there is an underlin...

  • A very un-welcomed guest!

    Wednesday, September 17, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    I’m all for being the perfect hostess.  I try to always have coffee, hot tea, wine, or quality beer available for visitors.  I’m not the best cook, but if my husband is home, he knows how to grill up something nice if a visitor happens to stop by during lunch or dinner.  People, who know me, know that I’m a fanatic about keeping my house clean and orderly.  I...

  • Hi I'm new to this ....

    Thursday, October 23, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Well so far the journey for this weight loss surgery has been frustrating and scary.  First I find out I have a tumor on my kidney ..and they doc has given me an 80/90% chance that it is indeed cancer.  We won't know for sure until the tumor is removed.  And he has told me that chemo and radiation won't touch this type of cancer so that won't help me.  So I have su...

  • The Process

    Thursday, January 8, 2009 | A Frustrating story

    This process of grieving is so strange. It comes and goes at the most odd times. I was sitting in front of the TV last night watching "The Devil Wears Prada" and I had this overwhelming urge to call mother. Strange because she would have just hated that movie, random because I hadn't had that feeling for a couple of days and sad because I realized AGAIN  that she couldn...

  • Treatment options.

    Monday, September 28, 2009 | A Frustrating story

    Oncology is huge money making business and I am absolutely mad at the moment as these doctors in Australia offering people new treatments and offer HOPE but at what cost. My husband has been offered this new and last option treatment which he has to have on a weekly basis but for him to have this treatment we have to make a 6 hour car trip each week.  These people do not live in the rea...
