Thanks everyone. Grandpa is stable at last report. Still think he'll be in the hospital for a couple days. Krista...well her situation is not as good as I believed. At last check her entire family came down with something, probably a cold, which is making the rounds here in this area. Seems a lot of folks are sick right now so yeah...

Here it all goes to heck already, and 2007 is not even 3 days old.

I just had a doctor's appointment with my urologist. He wants to do a cystoscopy in February or March. This isn't major...but what he's looking for is what scares me.

During the scare in June '06, he put in a suprapubic catheter to drain my bladder. It turns out that the longer I leave one of these inside me, even changing it every month like I have been, the greater my risk is for the dreaded "c" word...cancer. In this case, bladder cancer. It may not be right now. It could be years down the line. Either way, over the rest of my life I will need this kind of monitoring about every 6 months to a year.

Not something I look forward to. I don't know when this first one is going to be. Please, pray for me...and pray for Krista and my family too...because sometime down the line, I have a feeling they're going to have to be strong to help me through this. And right now, I highly doubt that they can do it alone. Right now, I'm trying to keep my composure. I don't even want to think that I could have something like this inside me right now, and not know it...and at 21, I don't like the idea of going right now.

John.
Prayers going out for you right now that the Lord will keep you in His Healing Hands during this medical problem.

I faced my cancer with a postive attitude and believe me it makes a difference. So try to turn the negative around and think positive. ((((John))))

It's alright. We all make mistakes.

I'm starting to regain some of my composure after the last two days. It's been two days of tears, two days of mood swings (worse than I usually endure), two days of...I don't really know what all. What I know is, I have many friends. Lots of them here at home, many across the world. Thanks.

Jeremy, I learned thru the years that worrying about what might be or might happen just ruins what IS today. Enjoy each day and live each day as though it were your last. You're always in my prayers my friend.

Jeremy, it will get easier as time goes by. Just remember the good times you shared with your Mom and when an episode of sadness hits, take out that memory and run it through your heart and mind and soon you will find it does get easier as time passes.
Been there done that in 2004 after my mom passed. Jeremy I do not know how old you are but it doesn't matter when it is your mom you have lost. I turned 50 in 2006 and didn't have my mom to rib me about it. I really missed her but I remembered earlier times she had and it lightend my mood then.

Once again, wrong person, and this time wrong thread. lol...must be a bad week.

Anyway, I do have the date for the surgery set...it will be February 5, 2007 at 12:30pm EST. It's at Cincinnati Children's which is where a lot of my medical things are.

Jeremy...what a wonderful source of support your S2K friends have been over the years. And this time is no less.

Prayers from out here in the desert Southwest this Monday morning.

A special thanks to all of you S2K'rs for your steadfast support for Jeremy and all those in need.

therock1811 · #33 Postby **therock1811** » Mon Jan 08, 2007 2:36 pm

Well, that support from here and others is all that's pushing me through...and it will be needed even more now.

I lost my grandpa Sunday morning at 11:05am Cincinnati time. :cry:

He had an intestinal blockage and it turns out that they caught it too late. :cry:

RIP Grandpa Shird Moses

Thanks everyone. To say the least, the first week of 2007 has been a very dark week in my life.

I had this feeling around 2pm that things were going to happen. Maybe to me, maybe not. I was right of course, I got the call around 6pm last evening that he was gone. He will be cremated and then his and my grandma's ashes (grandma died in 2005) will be taken to Williamsburg, KY where they will be buried together. I don't have the resources to go down there or I would...that kills me even more inside.
