David, I often wonder if wisdom can come anywhere except in the clouds. What process is it that takes place in these times that changes us so?
Glad they’ve lifted – have good weekend.

Your fellow blogger Therese Borchard has wonderful resources regarding depression, including depression caused by/related to another major illness.

Glad you’re back, friend. Feel free to post a note so we can hold you up in prayer.
Oh, and sorry for the hijacking.

You’re in our thoughts and prayers, David. Welcome back! We talked amongst ourselves while you were gone

Welcome back!
Here’s to a great, cloud-free weekend for you and your family

Was wondering if you were doing ok, David, and prayed accordingly. In your absence I was finally able to evangelize most of the regulars here and get them back to the KJV.

David…glad to hear you’re back and that you can see the end of this tunnel.
BTW – I’m advocating the Geneva Bible..olde English ROCKS!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings about chemo. It does help others. I’m on a 6 cycle program, 4 down 2 to go, and had been feeling very impatient and just plain cranky about having to do this at least two more times. To do it 15 times is downright heroic! Sometimes I have to remind myself to thank the Lord that this treatment is available to us, rather than complain about the process and all the lovely side effects. Here’s something I did to try to get outside of it all,. I tried to imagine what a comedian , like a Bob Newhart, could do with the absurdity of the endlesss cycles of medication and side-effects. Try it next time you’re in the fog.

Never had it myself, but my 5 year old had 18 months of chemo followed by 10 months more followed by radiation and major surgery. I would much rather have taken it myself. She’s 23 next week which means it has been 18 years since her diagnosis. She says she doesn’t even remember that time except for all the neat presents. and meeting the Football team – oh yeah and getting a dog. I love your idea of reacting to it like Bob Newhart.
“Now let me get this straight, you’re going to put a reservoir “where”. And this little vial is supposed to bring up my white cells, this one my red cells and this one my platlets? Now why would you give me this big stack of emesis basins. I won’t need more than one – will I. Oh, it would be so jolly.
Hope you’re ok c kitty.

I don’t know or understand what you’re going through. I wish you the best.
Brian

It’s true, David. I’ve foresworn NRSV. I don’t know if the thumb torture was entirely necessary, Canucklehead.

I’m speechless David…I’m so sorry you have to go through this. I think of you often my brother and friend!

(((David and the Kuo family)))
I will pray that you will recover to be better than before.
