angelbaskets wow it has been forever since anyone posted. Hope everyone is doing well. I am very concerned about my hubby- we celebrated our anniversary on Friday - didn't do anything all day specifically so he would feel well enough to go out - we went out to dinner and then rented some videos and came home and relaxed together. However, on Saturday he crashed! We went to the store to pick up a new battery for our daughter's car and he got really sick - we hadn't done anything all day so we dont' know what happened. He is going thru a major flare right now and it scares me to see him this way. He is set to retire in just over 2 years but I am scared he won't make it to retirement let alone after that. crying sorry I had to get it out. even he was scared by what happened yesterday so I know it isn't just me. Angel, I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. That IS scary. They don't know what's wrong? Geez... I pray that the doctors find his diagnosis, and treat him fast. God bless......... (Oh, and sorry to hear about your daughter's acct. Gaia is getting kind of ... idk..... boring, for lack of a better word? Even this guild, people are not participating anymore. I'm so sorry about that even. I think this guild is becoming dead, as well.)

Thanks Suze. No we know what is wrong with him. He has Hepatitis C. He has gone thru 2 different rounds of treatment - the last one a lot more intense than the first and they really thought he was going to be as closed to cured as is possible with an incurable disease but after 6 months his viral load starting rising again. He felt so good during those 6 months that we really felt he was better but now he says he feels worse than what he did when he started the last treatment which is really scary since he was bordering on liver failure when the treatment started! He goes to the dr the day after tomorrow so hopefully there will be some new treatment available. If not we will have to do our best to enjoy each and every day we have left and i pray it is more than we hope for. crying

Sorry for not stopping by for awhile, things have been...horrible.
My parent have been arguing lately. But today, my dad blew up on my mom while she was trying to sleep, and my mom snapped and left with a suitcase...I panicked and almost passed out while I was in the shower 30 minutes after she had left.
Sad thing is that this has happened before. These kinds of things really affect me deep inside, I'm on the verge of tears right now. But anyway, I send my prayers and hope to those who are also suffering. Have a nice life all.

Wolfy I am so sorry! Sending hugs your way dear. I grew up in that kind of a household so I know how devastating it can be to the kids. I hope things straighten out soon. Hugs to all who need them.

Almost a month and still no activity. sweatdrop I have been busy trying to help my daughter get her home office set up and actually havent' been on Gaia that much since she was banned.
Hubby is doing a bit better - right now he is in Utah for his job. Been getting some good reports on his lab work ups though for a change. Still has one that he will get back next week but it isn't connected with his liver disease - still need to make an appt to see the specialist for his liver to find out the next step.
sending hugs to everyone who needs them and healing prayers and thoughts as well. Hope to see some posts soon.

Angel-- You mean to tell me that your husband is still working through all of this? Goodness ! I can't believe that.
Darkiee-- I'm so sorry you had to endure going through all of that with your parents. This is very hard, not only for you, but for them too. I will say a prayer to both you and Angel.....
Life isn't suppose to be this way. I know I sound naive, but, wouldn't it be great, if there was only unicorns, rainbows, forest nymphs, sunshine and warmth for everyone?? Nice dream, huh?
Love, Suze

Yeah Suze he is. He only has 2 years till he retires so that is one good thing. Also I think if he were to retire now that he would just sit and go down hill faster. Going to work keeps him focused and his mind off his health. He is going to be taking a lot more time off this year though as he has a lot of hours of leave that he has to use or he loses them come January. Even when he was going thru the last treatment for his Hep C (which is a self administered Chemotherapy - he lost over 100 pounds, part of his hair and felt like he had been hit by a truck numerous times every day) he missed very few days of work - usually when he had appts.
All prayers and positive thoughts are greatly appreciated. sending hugs to all

This is a post just in case a stragler comes by and sees it. It's worth posting, at any rate.
On June 22nd, boldie has to go for another MRI. Seems she's endured enough pain and they're going to go in to see if anything has changed since the last surgery of 1/2009. This will ** IF NECESSARY ** be her third surgery, if she decides to go that route. (though the 2nd surgery put her disabled--what will the third one do? Paralize her? idk........) The pain is now running down her entire leg into her feet. Something in which she's never had before. A lot of hip and groin pain, but so much more in her hips. Sometimes I see her get up off the couch and she grabs her right side. I really feel for her. I ask if she needs help or is ok, and she just sorta brushes the subject and says yeah. Then on to something else....Everybody please send her lots of love and prayers. PLEASE !! Thank you.
first--6/07
second 1/09
third ??
EDIT: She found out from the doctor what's going on with the MRI report. sad. sad. sad. She has 2 bulging disks. One at L/3-L4, and another one at L/4-L/5. How can this happen?Those bulging disks are pinching her spinal cord and causing oodles of pain for her. But, when did these bulging disks come about? She JUST HAD SURGERY!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG...... And her root canal full of nerves? That, too, is closing up again. WILL SOMEONE JUST FRICKIN' HELP HER OUT AND STOP ALL THIS NONSENSE!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry.... Really upset about her. Please say a nice prayer for her, k? She'd like that.

I just wanted to mention that I heard somewhere that Ailsa (CAPTAIN) will be going BACK into the hospital, I believe, in July. Let's send her lots of love and prayers, as well. We'll be thinking of you, Ailsa.......

Sending lots of prayers and hugs for both Alisa and boldie! I dont' know their actual diagnosis or even if they have one but hope all goes well. I check every day to see if anyone has posted and was glad to see you had Suze. I hope the group will get to posting again.
Sending hugs to everyone!

I check every day to see if anyone has posted and was glad to see you had Suze. I hope the group will get to posting again. Sending hugs to everyone! Hi ! Yes, boldie (my friend who lives just a few blocks from me) has degenerative disk disease, arthritis in her spine, she HAD a ruptured and bulging disk-that the first surgery took care of, and a nerve root canal that keeps closing, and that gives her an enormous amount of pain, because the nerves in her back, legs and feet keep getting pinched off, causing pain and numbness. She's already had 2 back surgeries to open up that nerve root canal. And since the 2nd surgery, the pain never went away, when it should have. So, she's got chronic lower lumbar pain. And I know she's had this since 2004. Yeah, 6 years now come July. Her sciatica is affected very much. I'm sure there's more to her back and all, I can get back with you, if you want. The picture here, she gave me, is after her 2nd surgery about a week afterwards. (p.s. yup--she did give me permission to use this anyway I wanted--the pic, I mean.) YUK.

Please go up a few posts. I had to do an edit on her MRI. Please read and pray for her. I know I will.
You what gets me though? Has she done something to deserve these new bulging disks? I mean, like in her life? Is God that so un-caring and biased that she gets all the crap in her life, and other people don't? I mean why is it up to her to suffer like this? Last night, I was with her. We were sitting and just talking in the livingroom, and she said she couldn't feel her right foot. And it was just sitting there normal. It wasn't asleep-cuz I asked her that. She thought that what if she could no longer feel her legs because of the root canal closing off--- would she be a paralized person then? We talked about that. I really tried to reassure her that that's not possible, but u know what? I really think it is. The pain in her legs, hips and groin is normal the doctors say, because of the pinching off of the nerves. What, if some day, she woke up, and had no feeling anymore in her feet? OMG! That would be so drastic! All because of the back surgeries. Damn! I'm mad. It makes me so mad!!!!!!!!!!!
