Hate to clog up the personals with my posts but I just had to show off the new hat that arrived at my house yesterday from a loving cutie. I wore it to chemo today and the nurses loved it when I told them about "cuties" and I handed out some little angels to them that another cutie sent me. (whisper....Devon and Shirlene) When God takes away the cancer he can take that double chin turkey neck with it!

Hugs to all, Debra

The hair started falling out today, I think it will get a shorter buzz cut tonight or tomorrow, that's what I did last time. Don't want hair in my food.

I love your hat and your Angel Tree! This site with all of its wonderful members is a very special gathering of friends! May the lard bless and keep you in His loving arms throughout this awfully scarey time and give you the peace and love you need to help you get through everything! May you find the Miracle you need and continue to improve daily afterwards! Our Lord can preform His miracles! Believe in them with all of your heart! You are a beautiful person, inside and out! You have given us strength just watching and listening to you and your wonderful faith! My prayers are with you as well and hundreds more right here at Cute! Hugs, Linda

Of all of the words to misstype, I messed up LORD! I badly need surgery on my eyes but the time is not right just yet. I do have a hard time seeing the keyboard and the print on the page. That too will improve with time and then surgery! Funny, but during Christmas was when I had the worst problems. Every Christmas decoration and light looked like round wreaths to me. That was only at night when the light were on. I felt like all of the lights were Christmas wreaths with the halo's around them. I have on contacts and reading glasses but still have a hard time..Of course the tiny print is what is so hard to see, not the designs and the people! You look lovely!

leenova54 by leenova54 09 Jan 2012

I hate when this cuts off the words! Thank you for your kind words! Today my hair started falling out again. A buzz cut will be tonight or tomorrow.

leenova54 by leenova54 09 Jan 2012

Oh, 2 more angels arrived today!

I made some of the other FSL ornaments, you can see one just below the light blue angel and I have a 3-D tree off to the side of the purple angle but all the angels came through the mail, I was in shock! I loved the tree and next year it will be all angels! I plan on being here for it, I don't want to let cancer beat me!
Hugs back!

Thanks, I have always hated my body, till I was 30 I didn't weight more than 90 pounds unless I was pregnant and wanted bigger boobs and heavier legs, now I complain cause I gained the weight and hate it, lol. Prednisone for asthma did me in big time and now laziness keeps me that way, have lost through Weight Watchers a couple of times but gain it back.

bowlds by bowlds 03 Jan 2012

See, steriods! When my daughter has to take Prednisone, you can not fill her up!

leenova54 by leenova54 03 Jan 2012

Yes, steroids are the worst and do make you gain, you just are constantly hungry and then the weight from it is harder to lose than usual.

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely. ~Roald Dahl

Even removing a double chin would not be worth that!
I thought...well, I'll go thru chemo and be thin at the end of the treatments (just like a woman!) Let me tell you....that's not how it went down. My dr. said lots of women gain weight during chemo, I think it's some of the drugs they give you, like steroids! Just get well, and don't worry about chins!

1 comment
leenova54 by leenova54 31 Dec 2011

I know, that stinks, when I got the lung cancer 2 years ago I joked to a dear friend that I was going on the ultimate chemo diet! I did not lose an ounce! My doctor keeps saying they don't want me to lose weight and I keep telling them that I want to! I do have prednisone here and it will pack on the weight but it stopped my asthma cough which made my ribs hurt so I used it for that. I have more but won't use it unless I start coughing again.

Oh, my tree is beautiful, hate to take it down but it does crowd our small space and I love all the angels and the topper fits and looks perfect up there. It is going on a shelf in the living room till next Christmas! Can't pack away things that pretty

shirlener88 by shirlener88 31 Dec 2011

Oh my - that is wondeful news.

meganne by meganne 01 Jan 2012

You could always pin all the angels to your curtains instead of putting them away??

leenova54 by leenova54 01 Jan 2012

That's another good idea but I need new curtains first, the chair in front of them swivels and rocks and it has the curtains in bad shape. First that chair is going to be gone soon, then the curtains replaced (I have the old ones in the basement but I have to see if the rubber backing has been ruined, if not they are still in good shape and I won't have to buy new ones) and then the angels will find a place.

shirlener88 by shirlener88 02 Jan 2012
