I am so glad that you made it home safely and that your support group was right there waiting for you to drive up and get you inside. You have such a special family and through your experiences we can see the work of our God right before our eyes. <br /><br />I've had to catch up on the updates, because I've had a bit of the same problem viewing your site -- but at home all is well -- just work computer (guess they want me to work and not check my blogs at lunch :) ).<br /><br />Have a great Friday and FABULOUS weekend.

I just wanted to post this "addy" (above) in hopes that people will go over there and leave some words of comfort for this family (I am certain; I think) it would be something you would do, right? <br /><br /><br />Ellie Potvin lost her battle with a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer at the age of EIGHT (8) leaving not only her mom and dad (Amy and Tim) and her twin sister Grace. This girl fought with every fiber of her being but the cancer won.<br /><br />As for you, Becky, I am sorry this last fill was so bad for you. I so wanted to call you yesterday to see how you were but felt silly and now knowing that you felt terrible I am glad I didn't. <br /><br />I also don't want to invade your privacy! <br /><br />And last (certainly not as important as the rest) I had a day like I have never had before (that bad and compared to you and the Potvin family I feel guilty for even thinking it---let alone writing about it----The Jewish Guilt---Oy Vey). But, I am still crying; 24 hours later. I guess being called a "hateful person does that too you (and to think that was the good part of the day).<br /><br />Love to you and the family!<br /><br />JodiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-53325844496584775122010-06-24T02:18:50.171-04:002010-06-24T02:18:50.171-04:00I'm just so grateful that you respond well to ...I'm just so grateful that you respond well to pain medications and muscle relaxers. Anything that is supposed to help ameliorate the symptoms usually just do the reverse. Instead of sleep and pain relief, I get wired and pain intensifies. So, thank God that you receive your meds as they are intended to work. <br /><br />You really are a good patient, Becky. You do all the things you're supposed to do, you listen, and you make the best of the worst circumstances. Soon this will all be behind you and hopefully cancer will just be something your family used to deal with. <br /><br />That's where I'm putting my prayers and my spiritual money.

That doc is lucky that it was you sitting there and not me. I have a feeling my "reflexes" would have landed a sharp right to his jaw so that he could adequately "feel my pain". I'm praying that you are feeling better now and that you'll be able to get off of the pain meds completely by tomorrow. Thankful that you now get a break (you deserve one!), and praying that all goes as smooth as glass with the closing. LOTS of prayers...
