    I'm so glad to have Thursday behind me. It was very painful and still hurts a good bit. I never knew how tender and sensitive my arm-pits were until that doctor was numbing and cutting on me. I've got 4 holes under there now (big enough to put a penny in each one). I didn't think it would be this painful. He didn't do anything with the cyst on my ankle. He didn't want me to be in too much pain, so that one will be done in a couple of weeks.

    I should be getting the results back sometime next week. The doctor said he didn't think they would come back as malignant. I hope and pray he is right.

    Anyway, I'm having to take 1000 mg of Keflex (antibiotic) 3 times a day for 7 days for infection and change out the bandages and clean the wounds twice a day. Hopefully the pain will go away in a couple of days and I'll be able to lift my arm without screaming.

    I appreciate your kind words, thoughts and prayers, they really meant a lot to me. Thank you!!

    God Bless You!!

    Love,

    Well, I'm going to a Cancer Doctor tomorrow. I've got 4 cysts under my left arm (next to my boob) and 1 cyst on my left ankle. I've got to have them removed and have a biopsy done. I'm hoping and praying that everything goes okay and that the results come back in my favor. I surely do not need any more health problems.

    It hurts me to type, so I haven't been doing any reviews lately. I just figured I would let you all know what's been going on with me. If you don't mind...tomorrow (13th) at 2:00pm (central time) say a little prayer for me. It would really mean a lot to me!! I believe in the power of prayer and the more people I have praying, the better!!

    I'm so glad to have a lot of caring friends at Viewpoints. Everyone I've met on here is kind-hearted and loving. I'm happy to be a part of the Viewpoint family!!

    Love to you all,

    KIM

    TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE ELECTIONS 

     

    'Twas the night before elections
    And all through the town
    Tempers were flaring
    Emotions all up and down!

    I, in my bathrobe
    With a cat in my lap
    Had cut off the TV
    Tired of political crap.

    When all of a sudden
    There arose such a noise
    I peered out of my window
    Saw Obama and his boys

    They had come for my wallet
    They wanted my pay
    To give to the others
    Who had not worked a day!

    He snatched up my money
    And quick as a wink
    Jumped back on his bandwagon
    As I gagged from the stink

    He then rallied his henchmen
    Who were pulling his cart
    I could tell they were out
    To tear my country apart!

    ' On Fannie, on Freddie,
    On Biden and Ayers!
    On Acorn, On Pelosi'
    He screamed at the pairs!

    They took off for his cause
    And as he flew out of sight
    I heard him laugh at the nation
    Who wouldn't stand up and fight!

    So I leave you to think
    On this one final note-
    IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM
    GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

    A POEM FOR MY MOTHER

     

    Mom died 13 years ago

    And today my heart's still sad

    She meant so much to me

    The only mom I ever had

     

    I really never realized

    How much I would miss her so

    Until the Angels came

    And mama had to go

     

    As I stood there in her room

    Her eyes so weak and dim

    I knew that she would soon be gone

    Home to live with Him

     

    I thought of all the time

    I should have given her

    But thought only of myself

    Doing things that I prefer

     

    It was not I did not love her

    I just never stopped to think

    That life can pass us by

    As fast as we can wink

     

    She always saw the good in me

    She told me I would be fine

    That she was very proud of me

    Her heart was genuine

     

    I cried out with so much pain

    God, give me another day

    To show my mom how much I care

    To hold her hand and pray

     

    But as I stood there by her side

    Tears streaming down my face

    I knew that mom was leaving here

    Going to a better place

     

    It was final, she was gone

    Her life here had ended

    I feel I missed so very much

    Not doing things I intended

     

    Today, I want to remind you

    Do not disregard your mother

    Give her the respect she is due

    For there will never be another!

    I got to do my favorite thing today, which is grocery shopping. Other than Dr. appts. and picking up med's at CVS it's about the only time I get out of the house. (my life is sooo sad). I was able to find some good deals on meat, especially boneless chicken breasts ($1.99 a lb.). My husband, Jacky picked us out 2 beautiful T-Bones....which we haven't had in a long time because money is tight. He figured we deserved a treat since we don't go out to dinner any more. The steaks were around $7.54 each...I didn't look at the price per pound or I would've put them back.

    It's starting to get cold here in Bama. The temp today didn't get out of the 50's and it was cloudy and drizzling rain all day long. Yesterday and last night it rained and rained and rained. I guess it's about time it started getting cooler/cold here because it's almost November...this year has flown by so fast. It seems like only yesterday I couldn't even go outside without sweat running down my face and having to hurry up and get back inside where the air conditioning was. Now I'm begging hubby to turn on the heater...LOL!!

    I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and thanks to Cyndi's review on Krispy Kreme, I'll be making my husband take me to get donuts tomorrow...Thanks Cyndi I really appreciate that review...now I'm gonna gain 10 pounds from eating a dozen of 'em...LOL!!

    I want to thank all of you who responded to the blog I wrote on the 15th. It means a lot to know that there are still people in this world who care about others. I appreciate each and everyone of you and even though we have never met, I do consider all of you friends.

    I thank you for your kind words and prayers.

    GOD BLESS YOU ALL

    I've got an appointment with my Pain Management Doctor tomorrow (I should do a review on her...she's a nut). I get depressed when I go because I know I'm as well as I'm ever gonna be and it's so discouraging. I want to be rid of all this pain and be my "normal" self again. I used to be so outgoing and active, but now I'm fat and drugged up on Morphine.

    I haven't been able to go Bass Fishing or Deer Hunting with my husband in 3 years and those are some of the things we both love to do. I'm missing out on so much of the fun things we used to do together and it just makes me feel so alone. I encourage him to keep going because he shouldn't have to stop just because I can't do anything anymore.

    I try my best to keep myself occupied by staying on the computer or reading, but it's just not the same as being outdoors enjoying life.

     I wish there was some kind of exercise I could do that wouldn't cause my pain to get any worse. I can't lift weights because I'm ordered not to by my Doctor. I can't do anything that involves a lot of movement, especially in my abdomen. I don't really eat a lot. The medicine I'm on has taken away my appetite, so if I could do some sort of exercise I would be able to lose some weight and maybe that would lift my spirit some.

    I'm not sure if this is what we are suppose to do in our "BLOG" or not, but I just wanted to write down some of my feelings to get them out of my head.
