Hi All,
I just received an e-mail from "saveliberty" advising me she has been hospitalized. The cause as she wrote was:
"I have a significant, but benign tumor near my ear that is pushing against a nerve (which hemorrhaged). It sounds bad but I have excellent care."
It certainly does sound serious to me, even though saveliberty said she was being well cared for. She did want me to let her FRiends here know of her condition. When I get further info, I will post it.
In the mean time, if you could add saveliberty to your prayers, I know she would be comforted by that.
saveliberty is often the Threadmistress, and I am but a poster. So, if you all could perhaps place saveliberty's situation in the proper locations, I would be very grateful. [Or Moderators, if you are reading this.]
Get well soon, saveliberty!
Of course, as a former resident of the dairy state of Wisconsin and as a lover of all things dairy myself. I am sad to think you will miss out on some of natures finest foods. It is also difficult to think of all those cows that will be idled by your abandonment of their moo juice!
Read, as well, that you are putting in 40 minutes on the treadmill. That should have you in good shape for your surgery. [That's almost as much time as I spend napping!]
Prayers for good health.
And you are deserving of it.
Off I go.
Nite!
Thank you for keeping us informed! Prayers continue...
:) Hello Foxy!
I have the best possible support group!
We had a busy day. We took Dad to a doctor’s appointment (he had to fast for a test) and then took him to brunch (but we made a quick stop at a doughnut shop so that he could have coffee and a sandwich beforehand.
Brunch was in NH and it was a glorious day. We took our time and then ambled home, whereupon I baked a pumpkin pie to take with us when we travel tomorrow.
Dad must have had a good time as he thanked me more than once for driving there and back.
I did rest for a bit, but will need to start packing soon. :)
I hope that you had a great day today!
Thank you, Alamo-Girl!
Pumpkin pie, eh? Sounds better than the Twinkies that we travel with.
You said your dad had a fast test? How fast was he?

G’nite.
Snoq!

OK, you said the secret word and have passed the test. Continue with your mission.

We have been away and just came home this evening, Foxy! I will rest up and tell more about our time with family and friends tomorrow.
Have a good night!
G’nite.
SL, I’m so glad that you’ve discovered the allergy, and are feeling better!
Hopefully, it will be only temporary. My mother had the same problem a number of years ago - seemingly out of the blue - and, it went away after she stayed away from milk products for a while. She surely missed her milk and ice cream for a while! But, thankfully, she has no problem with it now. Hoping the same for you!
:) LucyJo, thank you! I had read something similar and I am glad that your mother was able to enjoy her milk and ice cream after the allergy went!
These days, there are good “fake ice creams” and “fake doughnuts” to console myself. It seems to be a more common allergy as it’s pretty easy to find non dairy items.
LOL But I did learn that non dairy creamer has dairy.
Last night was spaghetti night,, but I made a Western omelet for me and didn’t feel as though I was missing anything. Okay, cheese would be nice, but I will try rice slices soon as they are supposed to be okay. :)
I am off to sleep, and perhaps to dream...of dairy.
G’ nite.
Eastern omelet - can’t be done as it would have to be vegan.
Good morning, everyone! Happy Columbus Day!
I am sending an update- my symptoms had been improving, in part as we’d identified food allergies and also in part as I had had an infected tooth. We don’t know why the symptoms get better when the infection is treated, but why argue with success? :)
The tooth will be dealt with on Wednesday.
The next hurdle will be to call the doctor’s office weekly to ask (nicely) if there is a possible earlier surgery date for the tumor as a scheduling conflict pushed it back to December. This is a worry as it may risk another hemorrhage, now that I am completely off all medication.
Unknowingly, the doctor’s office invited this polite “pestering” as the secretary told me that I could call when I wished. Well, I wish to call weekly. LOL
Let’s see if that helps.
Another help would include prayers for an earlier, but safe date, which we are working on.
Thank you for your support, friendship and prayers!
God is with you!
Thanks for the update....prayers ongoing for you to gain strength and for the symptoms to continue to get better.
You remain in my prayers! May everything work out.
