Well, it's Thursday. I hope the news that the surgeon gives you today is curative. I hope this is the best thing that ever happened. I am praying that in a month you will be saying, "Man, if I had known how much better I'd feel, I'd have done this a long time ago".
Remember that God already knows the whole story. Hope you feel the presence of all of us there with you today.
I believe that in your recovery, this is going to result in a higher enlightenment for you. I have to work 3-11pm today but I will check this post when I get home.

OK---you are all such little worriers--and I love you for it!
I went to the surgeon--he examined me
it is definately not a cysts
it is a tumor
there may be throat involvement
so one more test--cause he wants to see it good and how involved it is before he goes in my neck.
it has to come out.
probably in the next week.
Nothing I can do about it--just wait-have it out and pray it is not involved or malignant....If it is I will have to deal with it.......
thanks for asking and sending all the positive thoughts and prayers-it means the world to me.
What was interesting about the whole day was I am not supposed to drive because of the morphine and my AS in recovery would not take me? He was very upset...someone else took me so it went ok.
I never realized what a profound effect my illnesses have had on him.
oh crap---do I have to feel guilty to????LOL
If it wasn't for everything I have learned here from all of you I would have not handled it well--I would have started moaning and groaning about how he wouldnt take me etc....made him feel worthless.....
Now--I just let it go----whooooooooooooossshhhhhh!!
He is in recovery--he is alive--I am happy
I really can't expect anything from him---he is working so hard on himself--and that he should be!!!THANKS SR

You did what needed be done and kept your peace around you.
For a next time.... what I am thinking...
In recovery or not... Mom needs a ride, he should do it in my opinion.
Part of recovery is learning to stop being selfish.
Part of recovery is learning that when we help others, we become blessed as well.
A big part of recovery is learning to be productive members of society.
And in my house... in recovery or not... when there is a need, you help out. No free rides in life.
Prayers are with you *HUG*
Wipe your paws elsewhere!

I'll keep you in my prayers, Sunny, and pray for a positive outcome. I agree with what Best said. You were always there for your son in his hour of need. It's time for him to step up to the plate and return the favor.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

OK IRELAND!!! that is my favorite irish quote....now I am crying....which is ok...because I find that quote comforting...and it seems to come in and out of my life a lot these days!!!!
As far as my son--yes I was there for him when he was(is) ill--but he was an alcoholic--big difference seeing as he completely out of his mind!!!See those are the things I am glad I didn't say to him today...I thought about it...but I kept quiet.Sometimes me being quiet is better than ranting about how much I have done for him.He just can't handle the stress of my illness-he will come around in time-when he is able.He is an A in recovery-only 7 months now-he needs more time and I will give it to him....let me say he wasn't mean about it just seemed to go into overload about handleing something serious as this.Lately he has done more for me than he ever has--and makes me lunch,does my shopping,yard work, etc...asks how I am...he couldn't even do that before.
He has come a long way in a short period of time-most of the As I talk to tell me not to pressure him about anything--so I am taking their advise.It wasn't the end of the world,Mom took me.And all remains peaceful....
I appreciate all your concerns always!!! Keep them coming!!

I have no idea how I didn't respond to this thread previously. Maybe it's because sometimes I try to take some time to think of the exact 'right' words or feelings to convey and then somehow miss the response part entirely. In any event....
As always, I will keep you in my prayers and will continue to send healing throughts your way. We're all here for you in those strong and in those not so strong days, whatever the case may be.
