Soaps.com - MESSAGE BOARDS

Okay, so has anyone heard from nannas? I get worried when someone just abruptly stops posting. Anyone seen her around on the boards?

I have to email Shorty and see how she is doing.

Later -

I've been wondering about gran's sister, too. The last I remember reading was that she got a new doctor who seemed to have a better handle on things and she was home from the hospital waiting for the infection to subside so she could have surgery. Do you or anybody else have an update?

My little sort-of-Siamese is named Iris (the humane society named her and the name fits those eyes) and I know that Siamese are supposed to talk a lot but she's 5 years old and has never said a word. She doesn't meow or cry or talk. When she wants to say something, she just grunts. That's hard to hear, too. The only time I can hear her is when she's greeting me. We've never had a cat that's as vulnerable and uh, dumb, as Iris but she's a gentle sweetheart and always predictible because of the eyes.

Thanks for asking about my daughter, Laura. She's holding her own now, thank heavens. The almost nervous breakdown is over and she's able to make her own decisions now. She's on radiation 5 days a week for 16 weeks and she's on her third week now. The radiologist told her that if she were to drink a glass or even two of wine each day that the resveratrol in the wine would help to keep her skin from burning. So far, her skin looks great although she has a bullseye tatooed on her chest where they put the radiation each day. They said the tatoo will gradually disappear within a year. A year? Well, I guess in the grand scheme of things, that's nothing. Then she discovered that you can buy resveratrol in capsule form so she's taking that, too. She isn't tired and has no ill effects from the radiation. She will have a blood test on Thursday that will show whether or not her breast/bone cancer is estrogen-fed or not and it if is, she will have a hysterectomy. Not one of us has dared to ask what will happen if it's not estrogen fed. There's a possibility that at some point she will need to have a mastectomy but I don't remember why. So all in all, for a girl in her condition, she's good. I very much appreciate your asking.

Hope everybody is well and hope GLASSLDY gets over the flu soon. Thanks to everybody for their kindness about Laura.

God bless.

Prayers still coming your way for Laura, nonnie!

nonnie thanks for your concern with all you have on your mind. I hope Laura continues to do well with the radiation. I know she has to be so tired. I am still praying for her, you and all of her family everyday.

GLASSLDY55 I hope you are feeling better, you are in my prayers also. I need to go get my flu shot soon. Hope your puppy brings you lots of joy.

CindiAnn, Eppy, puddy I like your new pictures.

Hi, GLASSLDY55 - Hope you're feeling better today, Wednesday. How's the new puppy?

I agree with you that it's really hard to stay interested in Y&R any more. First, we're thinking that Nikki will leave the show only to have her not leave but I'd bet it won't be long before she does. Maybe she worked out an agreement with them to stay until Victor leaves. Wonder if Katherine Chancellor will be next.

Hey Lomille,
I'm pushing it by posting between work on Y&R update. And have to many windows open causing my PC to crash.

Puddycat for you and others who've suffered a loss

Almighty God, Father of all mercies and giver of all comfort: Deal graciously, we pray thee, with those who mourn, that casting every care on thee, they may know the consolation of thy love, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
