Sorry Jimmy is going thru it too. It's from the SCT side effects too. All the harsh treatments/intense chemo wreak havoc on our GI systems. Thank you Viv, for all your sweet comments and support. I'm off to visit your blog now too :) xoxo Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773473100504931050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542378222548786727.post-62256447493643213932015-08-11T05:20:16.632-07:002015-08-11T05:20:16.632-07:00Hi Julie,

You never fail to comment and keep in touch on my blog.<br /><br />I know it's not funny at all but I sat here reading about your anxious trip home and couldn't help laughing. You tell a good, detailed story. I kept thinking oh no....is there a flat tire story coming on top of all of this? Jimmy is having similar problems at the moment, I think due to high doze cortisone but he is far luckier than you in that he only goes twice a day. When he gets up and when he goes to bed. He is on some medication for this but it hasn't really made a difference. <br /><br />You are often in my thoughts when I try imagine you at home and with the horses (now it will be on the toilet haha). Stay strong, appreciate each day and don't ever change. You are such a breath of fresh air.<br /><br />Lots of love<br />Viv<br /><br />Vivienne Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03957487699158311859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542378222548786727.post-48060147601399259402015-08-04T20:57:49.152-07:002015-08-04T20:57:49.152-07:00Hi Theresa!!!

Get a laptop for the bathroom. Your story is just too funny, painful yet you made it. That's what's important. I sent you an updated email to your address with an update. We haven't seen each other in over 1 1/2 years. I've had my BA degree for over a year and lots of feeling's with that. I turned 50 in May. You my friend just have spunk, determination to live life and not ever let thing's stand in your way. Shoshauni is going to be a jr and has 5 colleges looking at her: promising. don't think John will get her :( I go back to work on the 12th. Hopefully we could chat or see one another. I really miss you, our talks and you are always in my prayers. Take care my friend and keep in touch.

Thank you for always checkin...Hi sweet Linda Linda! Thank you for always checking in, and your fun and caring comments! As I was driving fast, I really did think about WHAT if I was STOPPED for a ticket... O my Gosh!!! I think I would have just kept driving and run into my house... gives me a stomach ache just thinking of that possibility!!! This truly was a life changing event, and I will be more careful and less smug next event! <br />Yes, I am looking at other myeloma meds, and I need to really read all the side effects, and maybe get brave and try a new one... So happy EZ is doing so well! What a blessing for him and your beautiful family! <br />Love your quote!!! and thank you for all your prayers of hope. Same right back at you and EZ :) and please write to me!!!

I look forward to reading many more. <br />Wendy<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542378222548786727.post-34107964313357237142015-07-27T13:59:22.602-07:002015-07-27T13:59:22.602-07:00Julie, Julie, Julie...what are we gonna do with yo...Julie, Julie, Julie...what are we gonna do with you? LOL! I really can't believe you made it home, and without a speeding ticket! (Now that would REALLY have been a disaster, if the officer delayed you any further. He certainly would have regretted that ticket!) I would be so much like you...choosing to take an Imodium, eat the food, and time my bathroom visit! Your food pictures look delicious...especially Islands!<br /><br />Let me know if your treatment regimen changes. I'm really wondering if something else might agree with you better. Lots of folks we know are having great success with Pomalyst. Has that been discussed for you? <br /><br />On the positive side, you have been able to take a few outings and work, which is always a good thing. Please don't ever lose hope...that's all we have to keep going! I recently read: "Carve a tunnel of hope through the dark mountain of disappointment." Praying for you, and the next steps to tame the beast! You can do it! <br /><br />XOXO Linda<br /><br />P.S. Can you give me your email address?

I am one of your "on the 5's" fan.. I keep checking.....Here is an update!! YIPPIE Skippy.. So, I read them and I laugh, I cry, I wish, I hope, I pray, I laugh again, I feel sad, I get mad, I smile, but most of all I get reminded that life is now, take nothing for granted. I find myself loving the different birds in my back yard, or taking time to listen to others better.... I am reminded....<br /><br />" Live happy, live well, and make a difference somewhere, somehow, with someone or something as often as you can!"<br /><br />Talk to you soon, I love you Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
