Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort

Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: keberoxu Date: 15 Apr 16 - 08:29 PM Thanks for asking, Maeve. I am smarting, to be honest, and it makes me unhappy to consider that truthfully there are people who are far worse off than I feel just now. Grateful, though, for Mudcat and the members in it. And hoping that the first week at home, post-surgery, has been an encouraging one for Rapparee and spouse: Keep on keeping on there. |

Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: maeve Date: 15 Apr 16 - 06:45 PM keberoxu- Sorry, you'll have to go elsewhere for an argument. We have offered support to many people known and unknown. This is not like some other threads here. How are you? |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: keberoxu Date: 15 Apr 16 - 05:11 PM For what it's worth, Wysiwyg did post to Jane's Rainbow....in January of 2012. She has most certainly been there for others at Mudcat. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: maeve Date: 15 Apr 16 - 04:19 PM That's thoughtful. She doesn't post here at all, nor is it usually possible for her to access. We are always mindful of those in need, even when they are not part of this small caring community on board Jane's Rainbow. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: keberoxu Date: 15 Apr 16 - 02:39 PM If Wysiwyg were able, I reckon she would be adding frequent posts to this thread. I don't really know her but I can see from previous threads that she has been through the mangle, and then some. So I am sending supportive comforting thoughts along to Wysiwyg and her extended household/family. |

Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Rapparee Date: 14 Apr 16 - 10:07 PM AND it was Stage 0! Granted, there were two types and that's why the treatment was so aggressive -- and that this is the fourth and fifth types of cancer in her life. Some people collect stamps.... |

Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: gnu Date: 14 Apr 16 - 09:18 PM "... and that's VERY good news." Yes, and glad to hear it! |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: JennieG Date: 14 Apr 16 - 06:39 PM That is very good news indeed, Rap! Please pass on my best wishes to Pat......we fellow quilters stick together, you know. |

Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Rapparee Date: 13 Apr 16 - 09:59 PM We got the path report and saw the surgeon today. Pat has to go back in a couple of weeks. The report said that there was no indication of any of the cancerous cells had metastasized, and that's VERY good news. Still, she's weak and recovering from a very major surgery. She has told me to go out of town for a doings back in Illinois next week, and I must obey. However, a good friend is coming to stay with her from the 16th to the 26th -- I'll be gone from the 18th to the 24th. If the path report or the doctor hadn't been so upbeat I wouldn't be leaving regardless of my orders. |

Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Janie Date: 13 Apr 16 - 09:40 PM Pathology report look good, Rap? Taking care of yourself, and especially, letting helpers take care of you as well as Pat? Is spring springing in your parts, maeve? |

Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: gnu Date: 13 Apr 16 - 01:58 PM Good to hear, froggy. |

Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: keberoxu Date: 12 Apr 16 - 12:11 PM Hey Frogprince!! You feeling better now? On another thread he described the close call he had thanks to horrendous driving conditions (winter was back). |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: frogprince Date: 12 Apr 16 - 11:06 AM I'm here daily, pulling for Rap, Pat, and all; kicking myself just a bit for not letting you know that a little more consistently. Dean |

Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: ChanteyLass Date: 11 Apr 16 - 09:46 PM Good! I hope they show up on time! |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Rapparee Date: 10 Apr 16 - 09:12 PM They were here and did what they do for intake. The work -- hers! -- starts tomorrow. The therapists are coming! The therapists are coming! |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: gnu Date: 10 Apr 16 - 06:28 PM Thanks for the update, Rap. Treat her like the queen she is. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Rapparee Date: 10 Apr 16 - 09:51 AM Home health care comes today for "intake." |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: maeve Date: 10 Apr 16 - 07:56 AM Home is very good. Thanks for telling us so we can be happy for you both, Rap! Maeve |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: ChanteyLass Date: 09 Apr 16 - 09:11 PM I'm glad she's home! My good thoughts continue. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Rapparee Date: 09 Apr 16 - 08:34 PM She's home! Been here for 3+ hours, most of which she slept. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 09 Apr 16 - 12:20 PM look after yourself, Rap so you can look after Pat sandra |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: gnu Date: 09 Apr 16 - 11:25 AM Dittos from here, buddy. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: maeve Date: 09 Apr 16 - 07:46 AM Rap- Always. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Janie Date: 09 Apr 16 - 07:03 AM You got 'em, Rap. Gonna be important that you take care of yourself also. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Rapparee Date: 08 Apr 16 - 11:19 PM She collapsed like a marionette with cut strings going to and from the bathroom last night, but two nurses were there to catch her. No similar problems since. Just a headache and pains associated with such surgery. IF all goes well tonight she may come home tomorrow. Home health care, physical therapy, and occupational therapy have all been laid on already. We have a walker and a shower chair from her head injury 18 months ago and I have them all ready to go. Good thoughts are greatly appreciated. |

Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: JennieG Date: 08 Apr 16 - 07:34 PM Echoing the good wishes which have been sent to the Emperor and Empress Raparree! And the ouches....... |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: keberoxu Date: 08 Apr 16 - 02:23 PM Good to hear that Empress and Emperor (the Rappareeses) both survived the night. (on another thread) The one-day-at-a-time can be a tough trudge. Don't do it alone. Warmth and light to both of you. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 08 Apr 16 - 03:23 AM definitely good news sandra (patiently waiting for more) |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Janie Date: 07 Apr 16 - 09:58 PM Hope the hatches and the chicks are all battened down, maeve - not to mention you and TL. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Janie Date: 07 Apr 16 - 09:57 PM Whew! Good news, Rap and Pat, and hoping to hear the pathology report confirms the surgeon's impressions. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: ChanteyLass Date: 07 Apr 16 - 09:32 PM Ouch, ouch, OUCH! I'm glad the surgery is over and hope the report shows all is well. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Rapparee Date: 07 Apr 16 - 08:42 PM She was in surgery about an hour and a half and another couple hours in recovery. The surgeon thinks he got it all -- no spread -- but of course the pathology report is the final word. She'll be in overnight and possibly tomorrow night as well. When I had been up for 14 hours she told me to leave and not come back until someone called or tomorrow morning, whichever came first. NB, male and female: If you ever need a series of shots about the nipple have them give you at least local anesthesia. Pat, with her very very high pain threshold, rated it without any as 20 out of 10. The doctors, when they found out, said that new excretory orifices will be torn open without anesthesia. Apparently Pat wasn't the first. |

Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: gnu Date: 07 Apr 16 - 05:01 PM Ahhhh...so NOW I understand your post on that other thread, Rap. Fingers crossed and youse are in my thoughts. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: maeve Date: 07 Apr 16 - 04:16 PM Big, wild, whistling wind storm going on here so thought I'd post while I still can- thinking of Pat and Mike as they help one another along the way. Maeve |

Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: keberoxu Date: 07 Apr 16 - 01:06 PM Sympathetic attunement for Rapparee and his Empress. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Nigel Paterson Date: 07 Apr 16 - 03:25 AM Rapparee, quoting from your post: "Things like that are always simple if your not on the receiving end". So very true. I will be holding you in my thoughts as you navigate this 'medical voyage'. May calm seas & favourable winds speed your journey to a complete recovery. With Love, Nigel. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 07 Apr 16 - 12:46 AM simple ... adding my good wishes sandra |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Janie Date: 06 Apr 16 - 11:29 PM Ahhh, Rap. For what it is worth, sending good thoughts through the ether, and will imagine breathing in and out with you, and especially, with Pat. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Rapparee Date: 06 Apr 16 - 10:07 PM Tomorrow, 0645 Mountain Daylight Time. A "simple mastectomy." Things like that are always simple if your not on the receiving end. |

This was transferred from the thread where it was posted, as a courtesy; I can't help you with the membership question, but it catches others up on your whereabouts.

Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: ChanteyLass Date: 01 Apr 16 - 08:51 PM I guess good news/bad news is better than all bad news, but still . . . I hope for the best possible outcome. |
