I am so sorry.

Praying you can get some pain meds to help you and praying your daughter recovers completely.

(((Moonie))) it IS pouring! You must be so upset at all these burdens together. You are in my thoughts and prayers, that you and your daughter have the strength to get through and hopefully soon have time together in more pleasant circumstances.

Prayers for both of you! Do you mind saying what part of NC you're in? I'm near Asheville.

Sending caring thoughts to both you and your daughter.

So sorry to hear your pain isn't helped by the meds and your daughter is in the hospital. Yes, when it rains, it pours. Hope you're both better soon.

I hope the rain stops soon!

I am so sorry. Hope you both are feeling much better and soon on top of things. Hugs

Oh wow, that is a lot at once. I hope Florence is not adding to your woes. What a shame. Hoping your both back on your feet quickly.

I'm sorry to hear that you are going thru all of this. I'm praying for you and your daughter.

So so sorry for all this terrible mess you and your family are getting hit with. It is not fair! Praying for better health!

I’m sorry Moonie. Doesn’t seem fair that both of you are not well! That is not the way it’s supposed to work, is it? I hope you both are feeling better soon.

Oh my, so sorry you're going through all this...hang tough kiddo!

Geeeez, sometimes stuff just piles on. Hope she is feeling better soon and that your appointment goes well. You deserve some good news for a change!

I'm sorry Moonie, that just sucks. Hope your daughter gets better quickly. Hoping you find something that helps with the pain soon.

I'm so sorry about you having pain and about your daughter! Prayers being said and good wishes for your daughter through her surgery and recovery and for you through all of your treatments. May the healing happen quickly and completely for both of you.

Moonie, I echo the others in hoping you get pain relief and your daughter has a speedy recovery.

Moonie, it's all too much! Were the surgeons able to remove your daughter's appendix? My son's ruptured last winter while he was home from college, and we didn't realize what was going on for several days so by the time of the surgery, there was so much infected gunk they couldn't remove the appendix. He went home with two drains for a week or two, lots of antibiotics, and several weeks and images later they took out the poor little appendix. He's back at school this semester, whew. I hope your daughter's story went better!

Hoping that the bone scan shows what needs to be seen!

Thanks, everyone. It really is uplifting to have so many people thinking and praying for you. It's truly special.

Abbisgram, i am on the coast, northern obx. We got some wind and quite a bit of rain. This is the first time ever that I was not on top of weather so I'm not even sure if we had 5 inches or 8 inches.

Bpathome, our kids had very similar situations. The Dr said it will be a couple of weeks before they can take out the appendix. She sent me a pic of her stomach earlier and my tiny little girl looks 8 months pregnant! I havent even seen her. The hospital shes in is 30 miles away. Im just not up to riding that far.

I'm so sorry you have been hit with all this nasty stuff at once. Hope you and your daughter are feeling much better soon.

So sorry to read this. Hugs to you and daughter.

So sorry to read this. Hugs to you and daughter.

Too MUCH! I'm so sorry life is 'ganging up on you'.

At least the full skeletal scan is non-invasive. Not fun lying on that hard surface when you're aching though! Ask for some padding. Hope you'll be reporting back here that you've gotten the scan...and some pain relief!

I add my sympathies for all these difficulties as well! First and foremost, as a chemo patient you should be able to have enough/appropriate pain meds (there are several kinds and I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be taking the mildest,) to function and I hope they will change that for you. Are you okay with being a squeaky wheel if need be? I hope so, though it's tough when you don't feel well. I wish your daughter a speedy recovery and much success in your treatment.

Ah, Moonie, what a beautiful area. Several years ago a friend and I drove down from VA Beach to Nags Head then crossed back over and headed toward home. Would have loved to spend some time there. It was only over night that we stayed.

I hope your dr. is able to give you something more for pain and that you're able to get that bone scan quickly. Prayers for you and your daughter.

Aww Moonie, best of luck with the bone scan!! Keep after them for the right pain meds. Hubby takes diaxalode (sp, no idea), a type of morphine for his when he needs it.

This must be so hard for you and your daughter to be apart. Hope you can talk on the phone as much as you want. And I hope Florence minds her p's and Q's ! Prayers for you and your daughter.

Moonie, the good appendix news is that once the infection and gunk are gone, the appendectomy should be a simple, day laproscopic procedure. In fact, for DS the surgeon said the appendix perforations had closed and he could opt out! But give the risk factors for him, he opted to have it taken out, and after the procedure the surgeon said that given some factors she saw, he made the right decision.

My cousin lives in Columbia and I understand that, while they had no flooding this morning, churches and businesses were closed anyway. I wish I could send you some of our high-pressure system, but I'll send virtual blue skies for your spirit.
