Light a candle

My only aunt is having surgery tomorrow. They found a tumor the size of a grapefruit inside her body. She is 78 years old but pretty healthy. I will be thinking of her and wishing for the best. I would appreciate it if anyone else wanted to send some good energy for my aunt.

Thank you, Chad

Thank you, Chad

My aunt made it through the surgery last night. She has a long road of recovery ahead but I think the worst is over.

Thank you for sending positive energy.

Just to quickly check in, tonight:

Last Friday my therapy session was intensely painful and caused waves of nausea, that it caused me to pass out and experience an extreme vaso-vascular event, which sent me to the hospital. I can't say that I am magically better because I"m not, but my nursing team is rapidly addressing the issue and we have other plans for my health care put in place, as of today.

That said, lol, my weekend was spent elsewhere due to snow, ice and a long power outtage.....so my Cuban Sugarman and I made up for that yesterday. He is the light of my life. He lives to serve me and make me happy by doing all the sweet thoughtful things that just bowl me over. I love him dearly! He makes me smile a cazillion watt smile daily....I've never been so happy or felt so loved or desired. He blows my mind. We're falling in love with each other as the days and nights roll by, and it's all the sweeter, that we found each other like we did.

He's the love of my life.

Anyway, I don't think too far into the future because what is going on with my recovery and our love as it blooms, is all that I could ever ask for ....my dream has come true, and just wanted to share my happiness with friends tonight.

Thanks for all the support and good wishes for wellness.

Ps/ my new friend, Susie is almost over pneumonia and her husband came to see her, weekend before last, so she doing much better. My former room mate isn't doing well, but I've got a plan to try and see her after Christmas .

Kätzchen · 12-24-2016, 03:10 PM

I just wanted to stop by again and leave an update for friends in our community here at the Planet.

Each day that goes by, I get better, then I'm not better better, but I'm doing all I can to assist my recovery. I might have some level of disability, though. But in any case, I plan to enjoy life and continue to be of service at work, if it turns out that I can return to work (at all).

More importantly, I want to ask for good thoughts and prayers and lots of healing light, for my boyfriend -- Juan.

Before Juan found me at the nursing home and began to woo me, he told me about nearly dying from colon cancer and how his family abandoned him, left him for dead, never cared about him or came to see him at the hospital or nursing home. Juan is 52, fearless, strong as hell, fucking funny, and I adore him to heaven and back. He's going into the hospital next week for second rounds of chemo and radiation treatments. His nursing team says that if he survives the next rounds of treatment, that he's got a second chance to live, again.

So, Juan and I are drawing especially close together this weekend, as we prepare for a rough week ahead.

Please keep us in your prayers for the best outcome ever.

Love,
Kātzchen

For myself and for my loved ones, I sent the intent of healing and light for us each during the days ahead.

Kätzchen · 01-16-2017, 09:13 PM

Since I was here last time, I thought I'd give an update tonight :

My Sweetheart is very ill... but his latest rounds of chemo is taking a toll on him, emotionally and physically. For a couple of days, I lost track of him but we caught up with each other last night. Thank heavens. It's not easy on either of us when our health situations are not good. Worse, even after all the years he's been in the states, his English is very broken and his accent is very strong. So if we have to catch up by phone, he gets frustrated when I can't understand him. We understand each other perfectly when we're together physically, but factor in horrible cell phone coverage service, and it's not pretty (lol or not).

I just endured a terrible day, but I'll be okay. I had my own "triority" in progress this morning, when my driver service failed to show up for my hard to get Dr appt. Fortunately, because I'm a relentless task master and on top of my priorities, the Dr office was willing to reschedule my two hour long assessment to day after tomorrow. I might not be back at work yet, but my job right now is taking care of me and managing my weekly doctor appts and therapeutic exercises. My Pt guy just extended my therapy for another 30 days, and on top of it, ordered more nursing care at home and scheduled another urgent Dr appt tonight because my blood pressure is spiraling off the charts and I need intervention asap. It looks like I will have to take BP medication to stabilize my health condition.

I try earnestly to minimize my stress levels, because I get stressed out over almost anything lately. My nursing team meets in the morning to map.out another plan to help stabilize my condition. I'm so grateful for everyone on my team.

I spoke by phone with my new lady friends from the nursing home today: My former elderly room mate is seemingly doing well. My card playing friend, Susie, is not doing well. She might be relocated to a nursing home closer to where her husband lives.... she is happy to go home, so to speak, but she'll be sad to lose the company of friend's she has made at the nursing home where we met each other. I told her that first chance I get, when I'm well enough to drive again, maybe by summer, I will drive over to see her. Hopefully by then, Juan will be out of the woods and we'll both go and make a long weekend trip together to go see Susie and her husband.

Thanks for all the good thoughts and wishes for wellness. It means a lot to both Juan and I.

Lighting a candle for a former coworker and his wife. They were involved in a terrible accident today. They were hit head-on by a dump truck trying to pass. She was airlifted and they don't expect him to live. Praying for these two and their family.

Canela · 01-18-2017, 04:00 PM

Lighting many candles today...it's been a horrendous week...

For my friends who lost their 15 yr old daughter due to an unforeseen accident

For my friends who lost their husband and father to his battle with cancer

For my friend who was just notified today her sister just didn't wake up this morning...

For my friend the best DJ in all South Texas...miss you Music man

For all of us who mourn the loss of a loved one...

Wrang1er · 01-18-2017, 08:53 PM

For my aunt and cousin who are both in ICU right now. My aunt had to have emergency surgery for a bleeding ulcer and my cousin who attempted suicide. It's been a rough couple days.

I guess that I misunderstood the situation. My aunt has cancer. She is still recovering from the surgery but is home now. She has a long road ahead. I will keep her in my thoughts. I would appreciate any good energy that goes her way.

Lighting a candle for those who aren't safe in their own homes or communities or countries.

Lighting a candle for people everywhere to see with clear eyes.

Lighting a candle for the brave, for the scared, for the lost, for the oppressed.

Lighting a candle for people whose hurt outweighs their happiness.

Gayandgray · 04-16-2017, 11:35 AM

Lighting a candle for my friend and former boss who is starting a new job. She put up with a lot of verbal and emotional abuse at our last job and I'm hopeful that this new job will be a wonderful experience for her. She is a very sweet and caring person and she deserves peace of mind at work.

I saw my aunt yesterday she has lost a lot of weight. She lost her hair too. She has a bunch more treatments ahead. I hope she is strong enough to fight for a while longer.

I will keep her in my thoughts.

Hey all! Please, please send out prayers and positive healing vibes for me!! I fell at work on Friday night and did something to my right leg. I'm praying it's just a pulled muscle. It does feel a little better today than yesterday and I'm walking better. Yesterday when I went to the walk in clinic I was limping bad. I'm about to start my new job in a week so I can't afford to be hurt now!! I don't want to have to turn down my new job since it's such a great opportunity for me. I've already prayed to the Goddess and I'm staying as positive as possible. I keep telling myself it's just a pulled myself and I'll be fine.....

Gayandgray · 08-09-2017, 06:53 PM

Please everyone light a candle, work some positive mojo, send out healing vibes for my poor little dog Bo! He had another seizure tonight that lasted 3 minutes. Both boys are epileptic and they are due to have their phenobarbital levels checked next month, but I'm calling the vet in the morning. We thought we had his seizures pretty much under control but he had one last week and now another tonight.
