    Ouch, indeed! Glad you're home and feeling better Val.
    Every day I look at your pictures on FB.
    FUKITOL® 1000 mg was priceless. With ever cancer dx they should dispense a bucket of FUKITOL®

    Hugs,

    When Life Just Blows...FUKITOL!
    2 days ago my company announced plant closure in Bradford, ON Canada leaving 750+ people unemployed before Christmas. I forwarded this picture to a bunch of friends, they sure need a laugh.

    Dear Val

    I admire your strength and attitude!  Sending you lots of good thoughts and prayers that each day is a better day!  And you still have time to do that Christmas shopping.

    Hugs,

    Glad you are doing better.

    I haven't started shopping yet either.  I barely finished decorating and what I did is on a smaller scale than usual.  Physically I am ok but as you all know it isn't always easy to "put on a happy face" with this disease.  I started seeing my shrink a couple weeks ago.  She helped me through a difficult time a few years ago.

    I am so grateful for all of you.  This journey would be unbearable without you.  Val, I especially like your posts on Facebook.   I get a good laugh.  Dont worry about being clean, hell with what we've been through the least we deserve is a good laugh.

    I hope you continue to get better and can really enjoy the holidays.

    Val,

    So glad to know you are out of hospital and feeling better. That was a very big ouch.....I had something very similar and know how painful!!

    Sending hugs and prayers for speedy recovery.

    Oh, Val

    So sorry to hear of this! I know you'll rally, but take it slowly, ok? I'm trying to come back from a nasty round of chemo and see the holidays (which I'm NOT going to miss, either) looming closer. I'm shopping online and still planning on baking, etc. I think I'll make dough one day and bake the next. I know it's silly and the world wouldn't stop without sugar cookies, but you know how it is.

    I hope you're feeling better and please try not to overdo............    (((((HUGS))))   Maria

    I hope you feel better soon !

    I'm so glad you are home from the hospital because even with the best of care there is no place like home.

    Christmas will survive with a few less cookies if need be and you being home is the best gift your family needs so try to relax and enjoy the holiday. I get stressed about all the little things but try to let it go .Rest up and feel better my friend
