Hi all my beautiful friends 💗 this is Vicki here to thank you for your love, support and caring about me. My lymphoma is still being studied as it is a rare form that is not attacking all my lymph nodes but the actual nerves in my spine are being attacked and that is why I had been in extreme pain. Had 5 radiation treatments which helped with pain and yesterday had my first of 6 rounds of chemo, the chemo will change as they drill down farther on the nuclear side of the disease. They took me down for swallow test and I am aspirating Everything I am swallowing, they want to give me feeding tube for 2 months, I said NO, so I will continue trying to eat and drink very carefully. I may get out of here tomorrow or Sunday. Jim already got my walker ready and medicare is providing port a potty and wheelchair...this oughta scare the B-geesuss outta them when mom starts moving around. Gotta go rest, thank you for always being my support system 🙏 ❤️ I truly love you all and pray for all of you too.....

A G-tube is not a bad thing if it helps you have the strength you need to get well. It doesn't have to be permanent. Please reconsider.

This is good news, but still so hard to hear. We want instant miracles for you, but will keep praying that things continue to get better, even if it is not on our preferred timeline. The cats will learn to cope.

Vicki, so good to see that you still have a positive attitude and are doing some better. You are still in so many of our thoughts and prayers. Just don't push yourself and take care of YOU right now.

You have made my day. I know it wasn’t easy or quick to type this message. But, oh it is so good to see your post. Keep fighting and we will keep praying. Both Rob and I are praying, so you know you and Jim are wading in prayer support. I agree with graceandham, you might become a kitty Uber, so send pictures when you can. And at the very least, it will become another cat bed. Please do be careful. Aspiration pneumonia is not fun. Keep you chin up and eyes on God.

Bless your heart and all the rest of you too. It is sometimes hard to have a survival fighting spirit and I'm glad you do. I'm sure the walker will scare the fur babies for awhile. Sometimes that's kind of fun. Healing, faith and strength to you, and J

SO GREAT to hear from you and get this report. I am picturing how many cats you can Uber in a wheelchair... Equipment is the key to beginning to return to the normal. Prayers will continue!
