      From tinynae Wednesday

      Hi Susan, I hope your doing well and having a great week so far. It's getting cold and rainy here, but we still have been able to play outside for about a hour a day. That helps keep us from feeling to cramped up inside. I hope you have a great week.

    • Good Luck

      From Lindaheff November 11

      Dear Susan
      I`m sending lots of good luck for Mimi`s upcoming doctor`s appt. I had chemo on Monday and experienced my usual sleep deprivation. However, I finally crashed last PM and feel like a different person :) My daughter goes to her OB/GYN on 12/15 for her 2nd sonogram, hopefully everything will be okay and we`ll be thrilled to receive your book. Unfortunately our family remains very cautious about pregnancies... Please send Mimi my best.
      Lots of love, as always,
      xxLinda

    • Get Well Soon!

      From Lindaheff November 8

      Dear Susan
      I`m sorry to hear that you`ve been ill and contagious, so I`m sending some cyber chicken soup to strengthen you...
      I can`t imagine why a high dose of chemo would cause Mimi`s ankles to swell, but am happy to hear that she`ll be able to get her chemo at your brothers`. My numbers continue to hover at 20(they were only at 18 for 2 months) which they consider stable since 3/09. Tomorrow I go to MSKCC for chemo but never look forward to the early AM bustrip in the DARK. I`m still a bit superstitious about your sending the book, because she hasn`t been able to get a flu shot or H1N1 shot, as of yet. I`ll keep you posted. Lots of love for you, Mimi and the rest of the family!
      xxLinda

      From anitaama October 18

      Thank you so much for thinking of me. The job is going just okay. I don't know if you live in an area that has deregulation, where you can choose your own power company, but it makes it very competitive. In order to keep people from switching they make them sign a contract to get a lower rate. That is what it is all about for people, is the rate. We are lower than some, higher than others. They are more concerned about the rate than the invirement. Most of the people that I have signed up so far are new people that are just moving into their own apartments or homes. But it is okay for now, till something better comes along. Thanks again. Love and hugs, Anita.

    • Close Ovarian Cancer

      This has been the most difficult time of my life. My father died in October. He and my mother had been married 63 years. My mother was so devastated that I stayed with her one month. Two weeks ago fluid accumulated in her abdomen and legs, and she was diagnosed with a grapefruit sized tumor on her ovary. The doctor is 90% sure it's cancer, but the test won't come back until tomorrow. I'm so sad for her, and I live on the West Coast. I'm preparing to go immediately. I'm hurting for her so much.
