when will it stop.

ann, the one i've talked about, now has masses in her lungs. went in for testing and her spleen just is full of them. apparently something on the pet scan (and i don'tknow what that is for) caused the spleen to "glow". so doctors want to do a biopsy. great.

then her husband goes in and finds out he has really bad irregular heartbeats and inbetween it spikes. they told him he could stroke out at any minute.

he's schedule for heart surgery next week to repair this. how i don't know.

man, when does it stop.... she's half out of her mind and he's not accepting this either.

we've offered to drive them to austin where this surgery would be held, stay with her in hotel and make sure they're both taken care of.

just waiting for the other shoe to fall....

now husband wants to travel to colorado, creede, and i'm too sick to go. afraid i'll have some attack or something. but half of me goes wth?? might as well be sick there as sick here.

Hey <<<<< Randibear >>>>>,

It seems like all the shoes in the closet have fallen and some boots and slippers too.

For some reason this seems to set in all at once. That makes it so hard, especially when we are already ill,and grieving so many losses.

Just know that we are praying for you,and your loved ones and friends.

We are watching and praying ,as the last two of TxCoords elderly relatives are failing. It is hard to not be able to actually do anything.

And my cousin is fighting cancer now, recently DX'ed. I know how it feels...stuff just keeps happening.

Keep venting, under attack w/ the Lyme and various illnesses, we cannot sit and let the heartaches just eat away at us.

jus' Silverwolfi thinking of you.

Maybe he has A-fib and they're doing an ablation??

Hope you are able to help them, randi. Do be careful with YOUR health.

right now it is more important for me to support them any way i can even if it means going to austin in 106 degree heat.

her husband, has kids but they don't have much to do with him and ann, her kids, are well off doing their thing with their kids. so they don't have many friends. my husband is probably the only friend he has. she has many friends but none i don't think are that close to her husband but i am.

the three of us worked for the government. we have a history, same co-workers, etc.

hopefully this will turn out ok. she lost her mother in april.

You have a huge sweet heart, they are blessed to have you as friends.

Pace yourself and be smart ( water, good vitamins and supplements, etc) and you should be fine...

Keep us posted.
