Talked to KIMBY.... She's Not Good.... Needs Prayers, Good Vibes....whatever
I finally got a hold of Kimby today. She is very ill. She is SO weak she cannot get out of bed without help and is in fact bedridden most of the time. She said the problem is she has NO strength. She eats but still continues to lose weight. They have stopped all chemo ... all meds.. as her body cannot handle anymore. Her liver and lungs(2 mets) are at a standstill. She is hoping they stay that way until she can build up more strength and get her counts up so she can continue with some kind of treatment. Even her voice sounds fragile. Today she was starting a therapy to help her regain muscle strength. I didn't keep her on the phone long as she seemed to be straining to keep the conversation going. I am sure she would appreciate any support you have to offer. Thank you semi's

That's very sad! I hope she builds up her strength.
Acai, cherry, Blueberry, cranberry juices are a suggestion for her. Soups made of greens, carrots, garlic, onions. Build that immune system!0 -

Now, I'm Upset:(
Thank you for the update on Kimby, Jennie.
It's heartbreaking to hear that she is not doing well at the moment. I know she has been fighting very hard and going through so much in her life these days.
I wrote her a PM a couple of weeks ago and she wrote back to me, it was a nice conversation. Now, I can understand how much effort that took for her to do that. That's just the kind of lady she is - thinking about others before herself.
She wrote to me out of the blue last year with some of the most profound thoughts and feelings - hit me like a Mack truck, I was so overcome by what she had to tell me. I realized I was not a stranger to her afterall, but that she had been watching. I can tell you that I remember what she told me fondly. I know they were from that big heart of hers.
She is a very kind person and a big fixture of this board and we miss her terribly. Would just love to see her picture and her post.
I just want her to be able to keep her house, so she has a safe haven to fight her battles, and has the place she worked hard for her whole life.
I'm sad right now - if Kimby were here, she'd tell me to suck it up and tell a funny story. I don't know one right now, so I'll just say "We love you, KImby, and please get better and let us see your smiling face."
