It occurred to me yesterday........

[Sunshine]

.......that if anyone else was out spending money the way I have been for the past 2 months, their children would have them declared incompetent and take over their finances. Mine, though, want me to spend my money and enjoy it in the short time I have left. When I think about it I just groan and think how long it took me to save it up. But don't I have wonderful children. First they were going to take me in when the doctor wanted me to quit work. Now, they want me to spend all my own money having fun, which is admittedly somewhat different in the condition I'm in.

The disease, according to my last heart cath, is getting worse. I would hope for 3 more years. That's a maybe/maybe not. But I can hope.

I do want to thank all my true friends on USMB for all your support, prayers, and encouragement.

This is not an inclusive list by any stretch. I have made so many wonderful online friends here and at the forum from whence many of us came. If your name isn't on the list, feel free to add yourself, this was just the best I could do with time and resources.

 

[Big Black Dog]

Jesus Christ - sounds like you are laying down for the final count... You're not dealing with this properly. I have a heart condition that I've had now for quite a while. I may live for 5 more minutes or maybe 5 years. Who the hell can tell about things like this? Enjoy life for what it is. Live each day like it's your last. Don't sound so defeated. I can't tell you for sure how much more time I have on Mother Earth but I can tell you that for the most part I have enjoyed every minute of it, have lived a wonderful life full of adventure and surprises and if I died today I would have no regrets. I don't dwell on it. When it's my time to check out, either I will know or somebody will tell me. Until then, why worry about it. Don't be so quick to say good bye. You'll be around longer than you think.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

I think about you all the time, Sunshine. My thoughts are always that you may live long into your golden years and know that people do care deeply about you and about what happens to you.

I've admired your courage - your even stating you were thankful for the disease - because of what it has taught you. I do not know many who would be willing to say such a thing but you did. Youre strong enough and have enough faith to beat this disease - that is what I believe about you. You're a fighter. I know all of us here will continue to pray for your success. You are loved, Sunshine.

- Jeri

 

[iamwhatiseem]

I have an ascending aortic aneurism. (5.6cm)
I have to go every 6 months to get scanned to be 100% sure it has not changed.
Everytime I go...it may be the time I have to fly to Cleveland and get a replacement valve.
At the same time - there is that chance everyday that it could just "pop"...and before I hit the ground - I am gone.
Live, love and laugh

Study Sunshine's list of names, and you will see the strangest coupling of oddities and types. And so is life itself, not just one particular form, manner, or pathway. Human nature can triumph over differences.

Many of us who post on the Board suffer from ailments, some life or threatening or limiting or interfering. Such is the nature of life, and you younger and healthier posters will discover this some day.

I say we look forward to life, not backward which only mortgages our future, and live fully the time we have left.

Sunshine, good on you. Live hard, live full, live fun.

I agree. I live for the kids and grandson. I try to do things that will make me memorable to the grandson, while at the same time I grieve because it is I who will ultimately teach him about death and loss. At least I'm one generation removed. It was my children's father who taught them that lesson, and they live life to the fullest each day. Life is the ultimate irony, isn't it.

I knew you had some medical problems, but didn't know what. I will keep you in my prayers. We've been internet friends for a long time. I want things to go well for you.

Sunshine, good on you. Live hard, live full, live fun.

In reality, this is why many of us are on here. Because we can't do much else. Thanks, JS. I agree with the live hard part. But the cat almost died when I left her at my daughter's. Daughter had to take her to the vet because she was grieving herself to death. I have a neighbor who has asked for her, but she may have to be put down when I pass. She's 8 this year. I've had her since she was 5 weeks.

You have my prayers my friend

 

[Bloodrock44]

You are in my prayers and have been [MENTION=21954]Sunshine[/MENTION] Do what you like and don't worry what others say or think. And miracles happen. I was supposed to go to my sisters in Maryland today to visit for the last time. Last January she had a complete physical and got a clean bill of health. In May she went to the emergency room and they discovered cancer in her Superior Vena Cava, her lung and liver. They gave her a year then. Since then it has spread to her brain. I am not going today because the dosage of morphine is so heavy she is totally out of it and she would not be aware or remember me being there. I talked with my nephew and we agreed that I will not go until the end. Which they say is 2 months or less. As long as it's fine with my nephew I could care less what others think. I want to remember her the way she was on my last visit. So be yourself, do what you think is right and remember there are those of us who have always stood by you. God bless!

Daughter had to take her to the vet because she was grieving herself to death. I have a neighbor who has asked for her, but she may have to be put down when I pass. She's 8 this year. I've had her since she was 5 weeks.

You may be surprised, but perhaps the cat will acknowledge and accept that while the warm lap has gone, the heart is still warm and welcoming, and she will move on to the next warm lap.

You are in my prayers and have been [MENTION=21954]Sunshine[/MENTION] Do what you like and don't worry what others say or think. And miracles happen. I was supposed to go to my sisters in Maryland today to visit for the last time. Last January she had a complete physical and got a clean bill of health. In May she went to the emergency room and they discovered cancer in her Superior Vena Cava, her lung and liver. They gave her a year then. Since then it has spread to her brain. I am not going today because the dosage of morphine is so heavy she is totally out of it and she would not be aware or remember me being there. I talked with my nephew and we agreed that I will not go until the end. Which they say is 2 months or less. As long as it's fine with my nephew I could care less what others think. I want to remember her the way she was on my last visit. So be yourself, do what you think is right and remember there are those of us who have always stood by you. God bless!

I remember how heart wrenching it was when my brother died. Seeing him in that bed, not much more than a meat puppet, that was horrible. They had shaved his head and he had little more than a dish towel for modesty. The prognosis left us little choice, really. I hope I drop in my tracks and no one finds me until it's too late. I'd hate to put my family through the hell of deciding whether to "unplug" me, or not.

There's a local business, run by a Christian family. They always post uplifting things on their sign. This week, the sign reads: "You are never as old as you will be."
I like it.

I understand.


Live every day you have. Enjoy every moment. Fill the bucket list with everything.

It is not about the length of the life.... it is about the lifetime lived!!!!!
