 A Somebody to Everybody

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | teehaha - 2014-02-27 11:09 AM Morning everyone. Thought I would let you know how much I truly appreciate all your prayers and well wishes. Linda, believe it or not I've thought of Gene and he is quite a inspiration along with Lobo and SHRanch and all the others who have gone through this. Right now I just wish I would quit hurting. They changed the pain meds yesterday and it's better but still very nagging. The 1000 hot knife in the butt pain is gone as well as the lower back though, so that's good. My whole right leg is just numb and the calf of that leg just throbs. My toes and foot have been asleep for a long time and I just kind of drag that leg around as it has absolutely no strength in it at all. I did have a mental meltdown last night when I couldn't lift that leg high enough to fall into bed and had to ask Dan for help. He is taking on his domestic duties pretty good and makes a mean cup of coffee in the morning and learned how to use the washer and dryer too. I have a Dr appt tomorrow at 12:30 and the PET scan Monday at 9:30.
We've got mares that will begin to foal the first part of APril. though seriously about selling them, but I think it would take away alot of the purpose I feel like I need right now. We have a friend who has his eye on the Jackie Bee/Slim baby when it gets here and he's offered to park his trailer and help with the foaling so might do some trading out.
I guess it is what it is and we'll just deal with it as it comes along.
Thanks soooooooo very, very much for thinking of me and keep the prayers comming. 
On kind of a funny note Dan brought my 84 yr old cyclone of a mother out last week to clean the house. It's a mess...Well within just 5 minutes of turning on the vaccum she sucked up the bedskirt on the bed and broke the vaccum belt. Had them get the belt off of my spare vaccum and she sucked up a rug and broke that belt...It was kind of funny. Dan is in town this morning running errands and going to the vaccum belt store :)
Good to hear from you, now dont be selling horses, cause when you get better you will be kicking yourself really hard over that.
Thats funny about your mom helping out with the vaccum cleaning had to laugh at that. Dan sounds like a super guy. Hugs to ya  |

Your mom sounds like a hoot! Don't sell off mares until you've really thought it through. I'd hate it if you kicked yourself later for it. If people are offering to help foal our or anything for that matter even if its breaking belts! Take them up on it. People want to help in times like this. You're going to be ok Meg. Let the Dr's do their job and know you have a slug of us that are behind you 110% and ready to fight this right with you.  |

 You just got to get mean and mean it.
Location: Arkansas | Good to hear from you. 
Mom's heart was in the right place...even if she did suck up the bed skirt and rug.
It's ok to have a melt down here and now. Just put a time limit on how long you squall. Tear's never cured any thing, besides you scare the dog. 
Tell those doctor's to get this show on the road. You've got thing's to do and places to see. No time to dilly dally.
Let that fella come down and help foal out your mares...but don't do any thing rash about selling them. You'll be sorry later and want to kill somebody!
How about that family of many kids, could they not come down every week or so and help keep the house from going to pot? Call in all your marker's...you've certainly helped many.
When you go for the ct/Pet scan..go naked!  That machine doesn't like anything metal. The first one I had, I came out with my jeans down around my knees and bra in my purse!
Those underwires hold up a multitude of sins!
Keep us informed about the doctors plans for you. If you don't like them, don't be shy about asking for a second or third opinion.

Location: between here and there | Good to see you posting, Meg! Great to know you have someone that can come stay awhile and help in April. He'll be put to work for sure! I think you should listen to Lobo, too. Between you and Dan, mom and Lobo those doctors don't stand a chance! You guys had me laughing.
Lots and lots of prayers coming your way!! |

If Dan and your Mom can keep the house in one piece your on a roll.
Don't make any major decisions on horses or anything else right now. Focus on your health first, the rest will come. And you both need those horses to release the stress that comes with the big C.
Being sick sucks! Specially when you are used to being the care taker for everyone around you. Just take a breath and be a patient for a bit.
CSU Vet School is doing a cancer study. Makes me feel a LOT better. You know they do things right and care.
Glad they are making progress with the pain. Hopefully they can keep adjusting and get ahead of it.
You and Dan are in my daily prayers.

| Please muster up as many prayers as you can for Teehaha. She got the bad news that the mass in her spine is indeed cancer. A PET scan is ordered for Thursday and Dr. appt Friday.
She and Dan are really scared right now. Meg, we lift you and Dan HIGH in prayer! YOU ARE COVERED!
She asked that I let you all know; she covets your prayers! |

Location: In a happy place | I am laughing so hard I am crying about your mother and the vaccum. As I am sure you remember my mother is 92 and has liver cancer but she has not slowed down a bit and I go behind her covering up her "helping" me. Meg please try to hang in there. It is okay to cry. I have dried tears on my main computer on my desk from a year ago. No matter what anybody may say there comes times when you just need to cry. After the tears quit flowing that was when I could feel the "fight" come back. I hope it works the same for you. As the days upcoming will help you see the "face" of cancer has changed a lot. There are so many more things the doctors can do now days. Sometimes they may not be very pleasant but I have had a year of seeing how it has worked for me and many many other people I have met. I know how scary this time can be but a positive attitude will take you so far. Try to keep your horses for now I just feel like they will carry you through your bad days.....like angels with wings. Will everything be the same for the horses in the days to come like they were last year? No. But they will be okay and you and Dan deserve to have them right now. I have been so lost without a horse, I feel like I am going crazy. I have found one advertised on here that I am trying to figure out if I can get the money together before I call the lady. I just think that those of us that were born part horse need our buddies in troubled times.
Remember there will be funny times through this like your mother story. I have one to tell you when you are ready about me having a chemo treatment, leaving Houston and my sister stops at the dog pound in Conroe on the way home. Have you ever seen a male Dachsund breed a cur female dog 20 times taller than him. I am still laughing. My sister just looked at me and said well finally I knew some time during this chemo I would see you laugh. I will tell you the whole story later. Remember you are loved very much by many and you have so many praying for you. I continue to pray for you every day. |
