JSM's BEGGING FOR BANNING #28 8/23/11 - 10/24/11

[joesamas mama]

Thanks everybody.  She died today at around 3:15 p.m.   

Oh, Zoo, I'm so sorry!

The fear you're feeling about potential cancer in your future is understandable. However, as my mom always says, "don't go borrowing trouble". I was diagnosed with breast cancer in the summer of Ought 9, and didn't have operations, chemo and rads until October. The fear I felt was overwhelming. So overwhelming that I don't remember most of that summer. And you know the worst thing about it? That was the summer our oldest grandson, the one I'm closest to, came to stay with us from Alaska. He tells me now we had lotsa fun, but dammitall, I DON'T REMEMBER! My fear ruled all.

Now, I've been thru all the operations, chemo and radiation. I still worry about getting cancer again, but not too much. I always say "What's the worst that could happen? I'd get cancer?" LOL! I do have blood tests every 6 months..there are things the onc doc looks for that could give us a heads up. But it's not something that causes me much worry. I don't have time to worry, I've got a life to live!

Which is a very long way of telling you that every second you waste worrying about something you can't control is a second you won't have to live your life. I know, right now, that sounds stupid (sorry, JSM!), but you think about it for a while. You'll understand.

As for your mom, well, what can I say? Are you my long lost sister? My mom isn't the warmest...to me, at least. There are 7 of us kids, and she has always had a favorite, my younger sister. So I get where you're coming from. Mom seems to be having some memory problems lately. Naturally, being a cancer survivor and all (oh, DARK humor!) I jokingly told my sister that when Mom starts forgetting her kids, I'll be the first one she forgets. I take up the smallest portion of her heart and mind. Believe it or not, it doesn't hurt to type those words. That's just the way it is. We get along fine, and when there's legal stuff or "cold hard facts" to be discussed, I'm the one who does it. I'm the only one who had the balls to help her draw up her "5 Wishes" plan (code or no code, treatments at end of life, etc.

Which is another long way of telling you that although your relationship with your mom wasn't perfect, you had one. Thru much difficulty, you still had one. You know, it's not all you in the relationship. The other person bears some responsibility too.

I think it's great that you and your mom were following Casey together. Even tho you didn't both see it the same way, at least you were watching it together. I bet that meant a lot to her.

As for why she went so fast, I'm betting that she knew all along and just didn't want to suffer or be a burden (that's my mom's worst fear). She wanted to go quickly...I know, too quickly for you, but it sounds like her timing was just right for her.

Finally, this may give you some comfort. I told myself that I would be a better mother and WAY better grandmother than my mom. I learn from negatives. Ask any of my kids or grandkids, I succeeded. It sounds like you have also. So, in a weird (almost Anthony-like-scary!) way, your mom did give you a very special gift. She taught you how NOT to be.

I will say prayers for you and your mom and families tonight. I hope you can go home to say goodbye. You need your sisters...SISTA POWER RULES! And hey, you might need a CD player too! Many many hugs and prayers are headed your way.

love
Tevye

Great post Tevye. Was hoping you would have words of wisdom for Zoo and as usual you rock.

    Doctor said I have a slipped disc in my neck, that is why my hand is going numb. Now he wants me to take Prednisone for three weeks I hate that stuff, it makes me jittery, can't sleep and I swear I will gain 40 pounds.    I'm not taking it.  

Oh, no, this will never do.

Hi All Banners!

 

  Miss you Bearly

 

You guys were right.  I met someone online.  I am going cautiously with this one.  Everything seems to add up, but I don't know yet.

Yea!  Be careful but enjoy and keep us up to date!  (He is not one of the banned monkeys is he? I hear that those guys are a bit wild!) 

       

[joesamas mama]

  Thank you Monkeys for your kind words for Zoo. My heart is hurting for her right now. I so wish I hadn't gone home early and not gotten on the computer. I feel bad not being here for Zoo yesterday.

God Bless You All!!!

thanks, JSM. How's the neck?

And Sister, I hope you're doing better. I am now missing my 3rd day at work (went in for a bit this am) and finally going to the doctor today. This cold sucks!!! I guess it's going around, which doesn't make it any easier.

Hope all are feeling well, the fo**ers do themselves in, and CC gets a job, soon! What do they call a guy who lives off a woman?

Prayers for all monkeys in need and hope you are all doing well and get better.

Going to put sir poopy pants in bed, hopefully his vet will be in tomorrow afternoon so we can get him set up on steroids. He is doing poorly.

I'm sorry your boy is ailing.  I hope both you and Josef  can get some much needed rest tonight, and  tomorrow the vet can get him some meds to help him.  You're a good mama, JSM.

I thought that Josef was doing better...sorry that he is not feeling well..thinking of you...xxx

JSM - Look at this article from here in Wise county, why can Texas put someone away for more than a life sentence for a car chase, and little Caylee & Zahra have their lives taken and those monsters literally get away with murder??????

MAN SENTENCED TO 99 YEARS – A Wise County jury handed John T. Josey, 47, of Rogers a 99-year prison sentence Wednesday afternoon for charges stemming from a police chase on July 4, 2010. Josey was charged with evading arrest and use of a deadly weapon after he led state troopers on a four or five mile chase on Farm Road 730 south of Boyd after he refused to pull over for speeding. The prosecution showed video evidence of Josey using his pickup, which was toting a 30-foot boat at the time, and attempting to swerve into and ram a state trooper’s patrol vehicle.

It just doesn't make sense any way you look at it. It seems our society doesn't find killing of a child as important as a car chase or bank robbery. They treat the murder of a child as if our children are dispensable. Something is majorly worry with our justice system.  I think any person that kills a child needs to either die or rot in jail.

I will let you know.  Banned monkeys--that would be an epidemic.
