PGP - October and it's not just the trees that are stripped bare

[The Edgetarian]

I'm nearing the end of the ATEOTW book, am sad! I don't want them to stop hanging out in bed with me every night!

my bed party should begin quite soon I hope...
*patiently waiting for my U2 by U2 book to arrive...*

 

[VintagePunk]

I'm sorry to hear that VP
it may not always be as bad and hard as it sounds...hoping for the best news!!

thanks. her numbers (hemoglobin - iron) have been low for a year now. They were low enough in Aug that her oncologist wanted her seen (she's being treated for breast cancer now, and is doing very well)...he said that numbers like that could indicate a bleed in the stomach or intestines, so she should have a colonoscopy. They suspect either intestinal cancer or polyps.

From the numbers I got today, it's done down a lot since Aug - from 85 to 68.

I'm not sure if I can even articulate this properly, but there comes a point where you see a person you love fight off so much, and you really don't want to have to see them fight/suffer any more.

It's just...really hard to explain/come to terms with. Hopefully you all know what I mean...


Bleh. Sorry. On with the festivities.

 

[Ms The Edge]

that reminds me of someone who once told me he'd like to sneak me into one of his family reunions, and that I'd fit because I'm crazy. :memories:



I don't. I've had dreams where she pulls out my teeth (she was a dentist!) and she totally cockblocks me, except in the female form. There is a female form of cockblocking, right?

Losing teeth in a dream is supposed to have some meaning or another, but I totally don't remember. (Helpful, huh?) Darn wives getting in the way!

I actually had a dream with her in it too. I was at their house for a barbeque and her and I were peeling corn on the cob and talking about how Bono doesn't eat his veggies. I can't put the rest of the dream here though.

Don't stop at the good part!

Zooey is having a good time at her U2 tribute night out. She's getting all fangirly with Fake Edge. /zooey text.

I have never been more proud of her.

Just one other thing - when the specialist's office called me today, they told me that if over the weekend she seemed weak or short of breath, to take her to ER immediately, and they'd do an emergency blood transfusion there. But the thing is, for all she's been through, she NEVER seems weak. I had to call the home where she lives and let the nurses know about the result, and what to look for over the weekend, and the nurse was shocked that her hemoglobin is low - she said to me that for some people, you can tell right away that that's what is wrong with them, but with my mom, she never would have guessed it's low in her.

My mom is tough. That makes me happy through all this.

 

[bonocomet]

which is her area's u2 tribute band?
Elevation? UABRS? or uh....,ZS?

hopefully i will be able to catch UF again here in nov!


and good night thora!

I don't even know which band she's seeing!

I'll just forward you the PM.

Some sort of insecurity or loss, I would guess?

oops forgot this part

Ha, some of them. When i was growing up, it was like I had four parents - my mom and dad, and sister and brother.

i don't like all my cousins equally, either! But i don't have any i hate! some i really like a whole lot. we have good times together when we do see each other. which is a whole range of pretty often to hardly ever!

2 extra "parents"!?? seems abit overload to me

some of my aunts 7 uncles were like half-parents to me, but that was because we'd spend extra time in the sumer staying over to give my parents some extra relief ifrom caring for us b/c our mom was so sick with asthma.

Now that we're all grown up, I'm super close to my sister and her family; my brother, well, I've talked about him.

the odd thing is, my brother and I have gone through periods where we've been really close, and it's nice...he can be such a great guy. Charming, like manipulators are, i suppose. But I can't forgive him for the past few years. I do miss him sometimes, though.

yeah i remember your trouble with your bro.

i'm glad you've got your sis's family. i i think there was a time when yiou seemed to be on the ours with your sis, but that obviously didn't grow into a long-standing problem.

When are you NOT in that mode?

I felt SO BAD after I first watched the ZooTV dvd, because I was like "Dude, that was one sucky bellydancer." (I took bellydance classes for 4 years from a teacher that's obsessed with technique, so I can't deal with crappy bellydancers being passed off as pros!) And then I saw in the end credits who it was and I felt kinda bad. Oops.

 

[The Edgetarian]

i also thought of guitar geeking in Freach as well!!!

how are you doing?

i'm glad you like snow ( and so early, too ) since you live so far North

do you ever get /see the Northern Lights?

guitar geeking totally rocks! though I don't understand a lot of things about it, I still haven't learned to play my guitar, but I'm sure if I'll get the hang of this, i could start sounding like a guitar geek too. Would be sooo much easier to get this sweet talk to The Edge in French

well, we still didn't get the snow yet... just a big windy-rainy storm, but obviously the predictions are still up on the air. We are actually not that much in North for seeing the Northern Lights as we are not in the arctic circle, but it's not that far either for travelling there from where I'm located (hmm.. about 1400 kilometers perhaps?)

Friday at work is booring.. no one really wants to work and I'm distracted with U2 anyway (as always...)
my neck is painful... must've gotten it when I leaned too much forward to the computer screen and tried to find the hole in Bono's pants when no detailed pics were available yet Edge, I need a massage!

 

[bonocomet]

My mom is tough. That makes me happy through all this.

Yep, for tough Moms.

I know I haven't mentioned it here before since I've returned to the PGP this year you guys, but I will now real quick.

Mom related post here:

Spoiler

My mom has brain cancer. She was diagnosed 3 years ago, and 2 years ago they gave her 3-6 mos tops. So she's kind of baffled every doctor with her case, they say they have no explanation how she's done it (up to now has lived on her own and been feeling reasonably good). She's a tough one for sure. Anyway, we've had a bad turn this week, so we'll see how things go. I don't talk about it much here I know. U2 and Interference and my friends here are my place i can come and feel really happy. I'm super grateful for it and them and everyone.

and perving on Bono can do a wonders.

ok done.

 

[Ms The Edge]

I am yet to dl any show videos. I've never even gotten around to listening to probably half of the bootleg shows I'vd downloaded, so it just seems mean to subject my poor computer to even more stuff. But at least I'll never run out of new things to watch if I get bored!

Sorry about your childhood being affected by you mom's asthma.

My sister and I do have conflict sometimes, but it's very fleeting, and forgotten soon after, the way that conflict is for people who are very close. She's very patient, I'm sometimes not the easiest person to deal with, and she lets a lot of my bitchiness go. I try to do the same with her. But most of the time, we're in agreement with everything, and basically, she's my rock.

When are you NOT in that mode?

that's pretty much my default mode, these days.

Didn't it say in the book that she's not a bellydancer? I can't remember, it's been a good 5 yrs since I read it. Need to start it again soon.

It was UABRS from Colorado. Musically, they made a few mistakes, and FakeBono wasn't great but it was a whole lotta fun anyway! My ears are ringing and I'm hoarse.

Yeah, that's kind of the problem. It's like bringing in a professional baseball player to play football, and just saying "But he plays a sport with a ball! He can do this!" The actual football players might be a bit offended.

i had wanted to adk you earlier about the details but was not sure you were up for it then.


well you remember when i was all half out of my mind having to talk to my sis about wanting to ask my mom to try the breathing tube.

on a smaller scale that's why the nurse/doc didn't ever think my mom had a dislocated shoulder - she still able to do things someone with a ds should not have been able to do....

Bleh. Sorry. On with the festivities.

yeah, I know what you mean! It's been a hard summer/autumn for me as well. My mom (she's 50 years old) was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and it was heart breaking. But I stayed strong for myself and for her and she herself stayed strong and now she's had her surgery and is going through the final chemo sessions and so far everything is looking good! We are really close and this experience, I think, has made us even more closer.

I hope your mom will continue being strong and believing in her healing and not giving up! Mind is an amazing thing! Sending her good vibes!!! and you, VP, stay strong too!!!

now yeah, this is getting too serious.. on with the festivities!!!
