Club explanations please

You are part of the club, so you can get the definitions. :)

When someone is in need of extra support or hand holding or hugs or whatever, usually in conjunction with a procedure or test, we have an imaginary airline called the Pink Cloud Express. Joyce is the pilot and captain. She fires it up and we all hop aboard, wearing our pink feather boas (imagine the site of the boas floating behind us!)..sometimes we wear other pink things, like long johns when it is cold.

It is our special way to let our sisters know that we will be there with them when they are in need, and the PCE is just our method of transportation. Makes perfect sense, right?

L&H,

I love it!!!!  Thank you so much for clueing me in.

 

Now I've just got to run out and get a pink boa!  And with this weather we've been having I guess some pink snow boots to keep my always cold feet warm would help too.

 

Let me know next time the PCE is heading out.  I'll be there too!!!

 

Thanks and hugs,

 

 

Mia, you got it! I also suggested the pink Ugg boots to go with the pink longjohns and boas...sometimes we wear a bit of other color, like chartreuse or purple! Just let us know when you are in need, maybe you are nervous about a doctor's visit or a surgery, or first chemo, or whatever....we can fire it up on very little notice, and amazingly it takes no time to get there...we can even be in 2 states at once!

NancyJo, that is great! I would like to get back to Vegas, I only had one opportunity to go 2 years ago. Remind us on the 14th too, so we can be sure to have the pink boas ready. I am looking to ditch the pink long johns though, this Michigan winter has been the pits. I am eager to move to more spring-like gear, perhaps a snazzy pink leather jacket!

L&H,
Lori

Welcome aboard: Yes my silly imagination got loose one day when some one was having a procedure and did not want to be alone. Because she was just to far for any of us to make it...I turned my imagination loose and we started with a pink bus. This worked for a while and we all brought our instruments and hit the hospital with pink boas and of course MK has her tiera, and we have our musical instruments. (Story for another day)..Can you see us marching into the hospital with the drum and all the other instruments banging and clanging. No matter the test, if you think of us coming through the door in this impressive state it would send anyone into giggles. Then we had a real problem even my imagination could not get our bus to fly. One of the ladies was across the pond and one was here and both needed us on the same day. This was the day PCE was brought into being. Now we have a plane and pink boas and one day the PCE was needed in three places and it snowed. Someone added pink longjohns. I almost fear to think whats next. But if you stop and think about it. All of us landing at an airport in a pink plane and climbing out in pink long johns and pink boas and MK and her pink tiara. That has got to make you smile. The day I decided being the idiot that I am was the right thing to be was when we were told she could actually feel us there. Some days it pays to be nuts. I am sure as time goes on we will have more additions to our wardrobe. If we make one person feel like they are not alone and make them smile... All of us would gladly be called nuts. So welcome aboard. Tee hee Captain Lemonz Now I ask you how nuts do you have to be to fly with a lemon?

Hi there all fellow travellers!
Special request for PCE on March 15 when I have oncology appt to try to sort out my lingering chemobrain.
Now: we are having a late summer - so dress accordingly! I don't want to have to pick any of you up off the floor because you are wearing snow gear LOL.! Praps you had better make it a LONG trip so you can take in some of the sights of the beautiful country I live in - hot pools at Rotorua, trout fishing at Lake Taupo, a trip on a coal burning steamer on Lake Wakitupu at Queenstown - hope you are getting the idea!

Love & hugs
Kath

OK I am on for the trip to New Zealand. I have enjoyed seeing the country on TV documentaries, so I second the motion to make our stay a little longer while there. It is good to have you posting Kath. What is the problem with chemobrain? Getting to be a little worse? Jo-Ann is always pleading chemobrain while I have to plead old age. Pretty scary no matter what the reason. Hugs and prayers your visit with doc goes well. See you there. MK
