Subject: RE: [MOL] Tuesdays Helping of Chicken Soup for the Soul...Gail: I've had to do it -- drink that awful stuff and have the rectal contrast. It's horrible, as you undoubtedly know, but not painful -- just humiliating and uncomfortable. I have a strong feeling your scans are going to be fine. Just a hint, if the hospital people haven't already told you -- the white junk doesn't taste quite as bad if mixed with white grape juice. I wanted to spike mine with bourbon, but they said no. Good luck, dear -- and let us KNOW!! -- Kathy in Boise

Subject: Re: [MOL] Tuesdays Helping of Chicken Soup for the Soul...Kathy thank you for your prayers. They have moved my ct up from the 26th to tomorrow. This hospital where I am going for the scan wants a complete bowel evacuation prior to the exam. They use oral and rectal contrast as well as IV. I have never had to do this for a Ct Abdomen Pelvis before and it is really making me angry, but I will do it anyway so that they get the best possible films. I did CT for years and we never had our patients do this but I haven't worked in CT for about 10 years so maybe things have changed. Any way, I am on my way to the kitchen to drink it. yuck!

I can't write too much, I have taken a percocet am I am very sleepy. I have had a pain in my right side, flank at the lever of the base of the breast area down to through my abdomen. I had liver functions on Friday which were normal am having a CT of my abdomen pelvis on Thursday. I think it may be adhesions. I pray that it isn't a recurrence of the colon cancer.Gail Estes

Good morning, Marty: You are absolutely amazing. I love to read your "stuff." I'm surprised you aren't out there on the bookshelves along with Dr. Seigel, et al. I'm sure you could be. I think I need to pay attention to this one -- I think my husband is beginning to feel a little left out. Even though no one wants to get the dreaded disease, those who do get an awful lot of attention, and others (the caregivers) can sort of get shoved into the background. It's time to give credit where it's due. Thanks -- Kathy in Bois-----Original Message-----

Subject: [MOL] Tuesdays Helping of Chicken Soup for the Soul...Good Morning My Friends,
The following is Tuesdays helping of "chicken soup for the soul", enjoy
and do come back for the lox and bagels as well.One Moment Please
"So, how do you develop a relationship?" This question
was asked of me when I was doing a Relationship Service
seminar for the YMCA. I have to admit that the question
caught me off guard for a brief second. We had been talking
"theory" all day and this woman wanted some concrete methods
for developing client or, for that matter, any relationship.
After pausing for a minute to collect my thoughts, I
stated that the only thing I could do was tell her the truth
from my experience. Somewhat shyly, I began to tell her the
story of how my wife and I saved our relationship. My mind
flashed back to a time when Karen and I were at a State Fair
and I won two red velvet hearts as a consolation prize in
one of the midway games. I broke apart the two hearts and
gave one to Karen and kept one for myself.
We had been married for 10 years and were going through
a bit of a "flat spot" in our relationship. We still loved
each other, but something was missing.
Karen did not want the "flatness" to continue so one
day she came up with a plan. She took one of the hearts and
hid it in my towel while I was taking a shower. When I went
to grab my towel, the red heart spilled out. As I bent down
to pick it up, I was overcome with a rush of emotion that
made me flash back to the time when I won the red hearts and
the love we felt for each other at that moment.
I then hid the heart in her sock drawer. She hid it in
my underwear drawer. I hid it in the refrigerator. She
wrapped it in plastic wrap and hid it in the peanut butter.
Hiding the heart became as much fun as finding it. Each time
we hid or found it was a moment to be treasured, like the
first moment we fell in love or the first moment we kissed
or the first moment we looked into our child's eyes. Each is
a cherished and precious moment.
How do you develop a relationship? One moment at a
time!
My perspective of relationships is this: I have been blessed to be the
partner of a great lady where we have built up a relationship for 30
years in marriage and friends with so many where time and toils and
troubles develop but nevertheless relationships become stronger thru
those times. I have been fortunate to have even stronger relationships
as a result of the disease called c......This diseases has brought much
into our life in terms of strength, love, devotion, dedication but
mostly the warmth and concern and compassion and caring from those great
souls who wish to build up relationships, long, quality lasting. For
that, that is the essence of life.....relationships that fill our hearts
with joy.God Bless
