[Rockin Ronnie]

I always think Thank God when I hear that you are still doing ok and moving forward. Surgery or not at least one of our best friends the almighty slow one is Kicken her probs in the ass!!!!! I sincerely wish you the best Alex!! You and Bill having just found each other deserve the best life has to offer!!!!

 

[Turtle]

Sorry that you got some bad news, but things will get better!!
I like the way John put it, that is about the way that I was thinking about it! At least it is operable!

What is the prognosis for post-surgery?

Still praying for good things!!

Scott

Hey Scott :love:

Yes we have answer - even if it is not exactly the answer we want to hear - but it will take away the pain I've been dealing with.

I will be down any where from 4 to 8 weeks after the surgery

(maybe during that time I can catch up on my ho'ing )

Tell Alexis I say hello!

 

[Turtle]

Myself and Julie are very sad to hear this,as always Alex is in our prayers,please have Alex call Julie she really would like to talk to her.

Earl - thank you so much!! I miss you and Julie both! :love:

Please let Julie know that I will call her tomorrow night. I know it's been awhile since I've called her, but my step-son has taken over my phone and I have not had much access to it (you know how teenagers can be! )

Alex,
When my tumor was discovered, I was alittle numb. I didnt know what to think, was scared about what I didnt know, and what was to come. I just took it a day at a time, and tried to remain positive about things. My wife was a rock for me, and tried to make things easier for me. Another thing that really helped was talking about it on here. If you look at my thread, I just posted what I was feeling at the time. It helps, and these guys here are some of the best "listeners" you could hope to have. You know how they have helped others, and they can help you.
Im hoping for the best for you.

Thank you very much Matt! You are right about the wonderful people on this forum - they can help you so much emotionally when having to deal with a hard time. Just knowing that you are in someone's thoughts makes dealing a lot easier.

I think so highly of so many on here and it is so warming to know that those that you think so highly of actually have you in their thoughts (if even for a moment) :love:

 

[Turtle]

Alex and Billy
Words dont do any justice but Wendy and I are both thinking about you guys and cant wait for Jager bombs in the future

James - I wish there would have been more time for all of us to get together more often before life situations got in the way. You and Wendy are both very wonderful, caring people and it was great to share Jager bombs with you :rock:
Don't worry - we will all get together here soon!!

 

[Turtle]

may god bring you guys better times Bill... i'm ashamed working on the 928 project and not reading threads as these.... man, hard times... bad luck for Alex... life is not fair... but she's a lively girl , she will recover soon and be a joy again... i'm sure ! :rock:

Thank you Barry! I am blessed you crawled away from the 928 long enough to say something here - thank you!

I hope that maybe once everything is over with and life is some what normal once again, that maybe Billy can fix that gas tank and get his 928 actually down the road!

Alex and Bill, you both have my support and prayers! Let me know if there is anything I can do for you two. I wish you the best to get thru this. Be strong for her, she needs you.

Much love for you both!

 

[Turtle]

Oh my god, I just saw this! My prayers are with you two, such wonderful people dont need this. I am sending all my prayers your way, get better turtle!

Thank you Mike! Life throws continously throws us curve balls and we just have to learn how to make contact and hit it out of the ballpark. I think it's harder to deal with the "why me's" sometimes than the actual situation.

I'm hoping that one weekend (once I'm better after the surgery), Billy & I will be able to take a "mini" vacation and head over to Chicago. I may need some SHOPPING therapy!!

Hopefully you will be able to venture out and come visit as well!

 

[Turtle]

Damn.

What can I say since at times like this, mere words can be so hollow?:dontknow:

Needless to say, my heart goes out to you and Alex. It just f*cking sucks when things like this happen to such good people.

So what's next? Alex has another operation in her future. Let's look on the bright side. At least there is a plan. For many they don't get that option.

As you are well aware, there are many of us here that will be pulling for both of you, and that power of prayer and thoughts is mighty powerfull.

Take care, and let us know if you need anything.

Love John.

John - I hope you don't take my words are hollow when I tell you how much I appreciate your concern! I'm not saying that as just the "polite thing to say" but because I think so highly of you, and like I said before - it's overwhelming - amazing - warming - to know that someone I think so highly of, has me in their thoughts - if even for a moment! I couldn't ask for any more!

:love: Thank you so much John!

Love, Alex

Steve - thank you so much! Billy has been so wonderful for me through all of this - he's been my backbone in dealing with all of this. I know it's not over - but I can't see dealing with this without him!

Hey Kiddo,

I've written down the date 11/19 what time is your surgery....? Lynette always asks that..... She has a whole team of friends who'll earnestly pray for you and for Billy...

As for the "why me" question..... It's very normal.... What's not normal is the "why not me" question.... Bad things happen to good people all the time. In fact, they seem to happen to good people even more often.... Maybe the reason is that "to whom much is given much will be required".

Evil exists on this plane of consciousness. It's a constant. The true measure of a human being is what or who they become under evil circumstances.... You will become better as a result of this. I know your heart well enough to understand this. You have kindness, charity and a caring nature.... The forces of evil are trying to drive those gifts out of you.... Trying to make you selfish and bitter....

They shall not succeed..........

"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. And I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever...."

Don't worry about a thing: "S/He that dwelleth in the secret place (love) of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say unto the Lord, He is my refuge, He is my fortress.... my God..... In Him will I trust..."

Yer gonna be fine............

Much love to you both...... Sorry I didn't get in on this earlier.... We were havin' dinner.

God bless you....

Hello Tim -

I will probably not know until Monday exactly what time my surgery is, but I will make sure that you & Lynette know the time. I would be blessed to have a whole team pray for me during that time.

You and I have had discussions relating to religious beliefs and even though from a scientific basis I have a hard time believing, in my mind, of an almighty God, but I do have a spiritual belief and that there are things that cannot be proven with science. It's times like these that that spiritual belief blossoms. It's what makes the "why me's" make more sense. I do believe in polar existence - good vs evil. I understand your statement of : "Evil exists on this plane of consciousness. It's a constant. The true measure of a human being is what or who they become under evil circumstances.... You will become better as a result of this. I know your heart well enough to understand this. You have kindness, charity and a caring nature.... The forces of evil are trying to drive those gifts out of you.... Trying to make you selfish and bitter...." This also makes me stronger to fight that inner battle and not give in to that force.

I hope you had a wonderful dinner and thank you for everything.

p.s. - I received your hug :love: :love:

We went through this when Lynette was 29.....

The doctor said that she may not even come out of surgery alive.... She had such tumors that you wouldn't believe. One of her ovarian tumors was so huge that you couldn't tell that it was an ovary. She was a mess (uterine cancer)...

That was 35 years ago...... She still fires her rockets just fine.... :congrats:

[Wifey]

Good Luck Alex. I'm sure you are really devastated right now with this news. I don't know what to say that could make you feel any better and fortunately I've never had to deal with this kind of situation myself.

I can say that we will be praying for your speedy recovery, I'm sooo glad you got a job and your boss is understanding and I believe you have a great husband to take care of you while you're down. I'm sure Will is a trooper, too. You guys will make it through this - hang in there. Our prayers to you all :rock:

D & J
