It's been awhile since I've posted here. I do see some old friends (Pratoman, Clocknut, and Complier). My husband, Ron was tested again and he does have Mild Cognitive Impairment; however, I don't...
Congratulations, Tony!...
Hi David! I pop in from time to time and wondered how you were doing? It saddens me that your Parkinson's has advanced. Ron and I talk about you from time to time. You were so supportive to us. Ron...
For some reason, I thought I would check in to see what is going on with old friends. How sad I am to hear this news about 142. He was one of the first I met here, along with An, Pratoman, Clocknut,...
Hi Prato ~ I picked a good time to visit. Remember, we started out on that "August Surgeries" back in 2010? Congratulations on the birth of your Grandson, Lukas James! He will bring such joy to your...
Andrew, we posted a lot together when I first arrived. Congratulations! Your posts provide intelligence and humor. Good combination. Wishing you the best in 2019!...
Congratulations, Prato!...
Thank you for your response, David. Just read it tonight and will pass along the message to Ron. Even though I couldn't possibly understand your pain or even Ron's, there's always hope that something...
I always like to check in even though I usually don't reply. I'm sure most will agree the importance of finding a GOOD doctor. Glad to hear you do have a very good neurologist. Ron and I send our...
Kathy and Lisa, I wish you both the best as you deal with your fathers' PC and other issues. When they have good days, it makes life easier to handle. Just following along and hope there will be no...
David, I am so sorry to hear that the Parkinson is really kicking in and affecting your memory. Dementia is a fear I have. Then, you have all these other health issues to deal with. It must all come...
Kathy, I am sorry about the latest news concerning your Dad. Please take care of yourself as you proceed on this journey. Stress is an enemy. Please try to get rest. I like Tall Allen's advice. Life...
David, I am sorry to hear about the Parkinson's disease. I hope there is something that can slow down the progress of symptoms. Sending along hugs and prayers! *HUGS*...
Good luck with the bone scan results. Hoping it can be an easier decision for you to make. As usual KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!...
Welcome! Most of us realize the mixture of feelings you have. Research and know the details of what you will have done. There's lots of good advice here. Wishing you the best, Warrior!...
Perfect song for all fighting Cancer. This was my children's music, but I was really into it. Now, my Grandchildren will sometimes put on a Rap song. I can handle one. That's it. :turn:...
Just wanted to add that I did get the flu shot on November 1. I have a respiratory infection for 9 days which has turned into pneumonia. Although I have been very sick, I haven't had major flu...
I have mixed feelings about this; however, Ron and I decided we want to be cremated. We purchased two wooden urns; and want our ashes scattered elsewhere. I want mine by the Rock and Roll Hall of...
See, Andrew just popped in to say hi! :smilewinkgrin:...
I am so sorry to hear this news, White Bird. Truly sorry. As Ron's wife, I came here for help. He's just not into this posting and reading Forums. It will be going on 8 years. The first 2 months I...
Sunbird, I've known this and didn't think to post this information here. I am a regular on the Moody Blues Facebook page. It is important this information gets out there. When a well known person or...
Oh, David.... I am so sorry to hear the latest medical news. I hope the MRI won't show new problems as well as any other surgery you are having. There are so many that love and care about you. You...
David, wishing you the best as we approach the end of 2017. Are you still losing weight? Any plans to see your son for the holidays? *HUGS*...
kcragman, hoping this coming year will be better and nothing exceptional takes place. Take care of yourself....
I put "August Surgeries" in the Google search engine (above) and our thread did come up. We were blessed to have found each other for support and information. It seems like so long ago. How wonderful...
Oops, a little late - but so happy to hear from my August, 2010 friends. (Purgatory - David also posted a lot on that thread.) Ron and I didn't even realize the anniversary this year. We also have...
David, I'm so sorry that your health condition has again gotten worse. No one should have to suffer the pain you have. It is good that your wife has retired. I hope one day you two will be able to...
Sue, I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Prayers, too....
Andrew, just a special note to tell you that you are doing just fine. I enjoy reading your posts. As you may remember, Ron's PSA has been pretty stable. We'd like to believe the cancer is gone - for...
Todd, so happy to hear the news on your PSA! My daughter attended that concert - twice. Great music is good for the soul. I love Dan and Wings of Eagles' posts using titles of songs. As a Founding...
Great news, Dogbot! "Undetectable PSA readings" - words we all love to hear. Yes, I was wondering about David as well....
Hi David, just coming by for an update. I hope you're not experiencing great pain. Ron and I think of you often. I was thinking about the August, 2010 thread where we all posted together. Thinking...
Hi Mel, I always like to check back on you and An (Paul). It's easy to reflect back to that August, 2010 thread. Where did that time go? It looks like there will be some positive things coming your...
Beth, I really do like Gary's thoughts about the afterlife. He seems to be at the stage my brother was. At that point, he had accepted his coming death and was ready for what will be. Deep...
Beth, just checking in to see how you and Gary are doing. I have wondered about Grandchildren being with a loved one as life's journey is ending. Explanations are probably dependent on the age of the...
Hi Beth ~ I wanted to let you know that I have brought your thread to Ron's attention. We both are sending along loving wishes. Please take care of yourself and rest whenever possible. Your sharing...
I have both a BC (pink) and PCa (blue) Christmas tree ornament. I didn't know about the blue ribbon until I came to this forum. Beth, the PSA screenings are a part of our Health Fair and the charge...
Beth, thank you for sharing your journal with us. How wonderful that you have this support from Hospice. Having good people in your lives does make the journey a bit easier. A couple of years back...
Island Time, I think you're Dave, right? Over the years there have been various threads dealing with severe depression, so please know you are not alone. There is support here. What you need to...
So, we all are here again. An, I am happy for your husband. YAY! Ron's PSA is the same as Paul's - so everything is good in that department. David, I am sadden by your deep depression and horrible...
Hello ~ I haven't been around for awhile and was wondering if anyone has heard from Purgatory? Any news from An? Happy Mother's Day to all the special ladies in our lives!...
I'm sorry to hear this news, Beth. Prayers going out to you and Gary. It would be wonderful if he met his new Granddaughter! Take care....
You have had so many doctors, so many incompetent doctors. I believe you need a full multidisciplinary review at a place like the Mayo clinic and for them to come up with a clear treatment plan....
Hi David! I came by to check up on you and was sadden to read the news about Mel's accident. You may remember (way back when) that Mel and An posted with us on that August Surgeries (2010) thread. I...
Oh, my goodness - I am so sorry to hear this news about Mel. He's a special person to me as he was with me on the "August Surgeries" thread from early 2010. He's always been there to support and...
David, we took the age 62 - Social Security. It worked out well. We did some traveling while still in good health. Ron is in constant pain now. Our vacation time is 2 days. It's hard when he has...
David, I am happy you ran into the PTSD therapist and that she calmed you. Over the years, you've had to make so many decisions about your body. I know QUALITY of life has been so important. Yes, you...
David, hopefully this will help you. You deserve a break! I'll be checking in on your progress! Prayers coming your way....
Nice post, Billy Bob. Lots of memories. All the deaths just seem more overwhelming, especially in December. I share the same fondness for Debbie. I wanted to be her! BTW, took the two youngest...
Happy New Year everyone! Lots of old faces and many new ones. It is always great to read good news; sad to read the not so good news. Ron is still in constant pain ( groin, shoulder, side). It would...
