Hi Y'all!! I'm Still Alive And (mostly) Well Here!!


Guest Kacee

Hi everyone!!

Just wanted to drop a note in here and let everyone know that, despite those nasty rumors, I haven't gotten abducted by Martians!! I do sincerely apologize for neglecting my friends and my duties here (yea, somebody's gotta play the piano for y'all!!). I have been soooooo busy at work and have been having some major changes in my living arrangements. I am currently in the process of moving, and we all know what a huge headache that is!! Between workin upwards of 80 hours a week and tryin to cart my worldly possessions over hill & dale, I have been so worn out that I can usually just barely crawl into bed, let alone fire up this monster and try to type coherently for more than 5 minutes. Many nights this past week, I haven't even made it to the bed. Got as far as the sofa and crashed. Anyhoo, to all my dear friends and all the new arrivals I've missed, I am very sorry. I miss y'all and hope to get my situation(s) under control shortly, so I can get back into the swing of things here. I love you guys & gals and need to get back in my groove here. It's midnite here, I'm gonna crash again. Y'all take care and I will be back soon!!

Love, huggs & kisses!!

Hey Kacee,

Good to hear from you - I never believed those Martian rumors, I got a call from Elvis and he said that if they had abducted you he would have seen you already.

Well you have your sofa and I have the evil chair - I think I'll try for the bed tonight.

Love ya,

Sally

Kacee! Thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear that things are going well for you.

But Hon, you just HAVE to learn how to relax, OK?

Anyway, we'll hold the fort down here, and you take care of yourself and report back after you have

navigated all those hills and dales (what is a "dale" BTW?).

We will be right here with cookies and cocoa, and maybe even a slice of pizza, if Donna Jean doesn't

grab it first! :P

Welcome back, Kacee. We haven't met since I arrived nearly a month after you did. I hope life slows down for you in the near future so you have the opportunity to catch your breath.

Hi Y'all!!

Thanks for all the wonderful replies!! I am so glad to have you all here.

Well, not by my choice, but my life has slowed way down. Matter of fact, it came to a screeching halt on Monday. Long story short, y'all have heard the old line about working yourself to death? well, I think I just proved that it actually IS possible. I spent a week in the hospital for a work related injury that was very painful and quite uncomfortable. My doctors got it figured out and treated me for it and that is well on it's way to clearing up. Unfortunately, while they were doing their jobs investigating me, they came across something totaly unrelated that has caused and abrupt change in my life. Also unfortunately, the Dr who informed me of this "problem" apparently missed class the day they taught compassion. With no warning or any sugarcoating, I was informed that a cancerous growth had been found in my left kidney and when would I like to schedule surgery to have the kidney removed? Needless to say, I was and still am crying and screaming about this. Nothing like being told "We fixed the hangnail, but we have to drastically alter the rest of your life" Tonsils, appendix, broken ribs, been there, done that. One, maybe two weeks and I'm back to work and back to life. THIS???? Besides that big "C" word, we're talking MONTHS of recovery from MAJOR surgery!! And who knows what after that!!! I am so mad I could chew steel, spit nails and pound 'em in with my fists!!! I am scared, mad, lonely, depressed, worried, unsure, and just downright upset. These are emotions that are alien to me. I have always lived on the edge, never worrying or caring about falling off. That whole "no guts, no glory" attitude. I have no idea how to handle this. I was discharged from the hospital yesterday. Since then, I have been crying, have had no sleep, about 30 cups of coffee, and smoked almost 2 cartons of cigarettes. Prolly a good thing I don't drink!! LOL

Anyway, thanks for letting me get this off my mind. I do feel a lil better and I know all you guys & gals will help me get through this.

I love you all

Oh, no, Kacee, that's horrible! OMG I'm so sorry to hear that.

I know it doesn't make it any better, but if you hadn't gotten hurt, the doctor's might not have found the tumor in time.

All of us here will be pulling for you and hoping for the best. You have my love and support.

You are not alone, Honey. Not for a moment. We're all of us right there with you, whether you can see us or not. You can feel us.

Love and a BIG HUG

Kacee,

I am sorry to hear about you being sick, i had a friend that had what you had, she had the kidney removed and lived a normal life until she died of natural causes at the age of 79.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

HUGS!!!!!

      I need to be my nest, but its freezing in here!  And GF is all curled up...she's gonna have to un-curl herself, because I'm gonna shiver to death without snuggles

      "A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back.  Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him."    Proverbs 26:4-5.....  possibly the first advice about spending time online

      Not of people usually, but places have a "color sense" to me.  Not exactly visual, but like a feeling.  Almost a taste or sometimes tactile.    My home, and the temple of my faith community both have a strong feeling of "silver."  A tasteable, nearly tactile radiance...it means safety, and I seek it out.  It kind of transfers to people associated with those places, like my husband.  I knew he was good the moment I met him.  Some places have a color sense like fire, a combination of red and orange.  As you might expect, it is an exciting or dangerous feeling.  Attractive in a way.  Part of me is drawn toward it, another part of me is skittish of it.  Other places have a blue/green color sense, which can be iridescent toward purple-ish.  Its peaceful and calm.    What I really don't like is a sickly, greenish-gray color.  I can't even describe it fully.  The sense is slimy, slick, cold and revolting.  To me, it is a feeling of intense danger about a place or a person.  I'm usually more oblivious to the other color senses, but this one grabs my attention.  To me, it is associated with pure evil.    One of my strongest impressions of the evil color it happened at a natural spring in a state park near where I live.  I was walking around with a friend and I felt it, and she thought I was totally crazy.  I wanted to leave so bad, just terrified.  Thankfully she followed me out.  I only found out later that a murderer had escaped from prison and was recaptured there...he had been living near the spring, and we were maybe within 200 yards of him.  My color sense probably saved our lives.

      Not exactly.  Me alone - I'm helpless and can hardly do anything.  But with my partners I'm protected and supported, and a lot more things are possible for me.    My husband teaches a lesson to his kids when they fight, I've seen him do this a couple of times.  He'll hand them a bundle of sticks tied together, and tell the kids to try to break it.  Of course, it doesn't work.  Then he takes the bundle apart, and tells them to break the sticks one by one.  One person alone is easily overwhelmed or broken.  Two or more people together can stand firm against adversity.

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.
