Queen of the Universe-you know the SWLF mantra-
Living Better Through Chemistry.

I am really sorry you are having the "hurlarama".
But I know from Sarah those drugs help. I am glad
you are saying YES TO DRUGS.

It sucks that the hurlarama is part of the "Get out
of Jail card" but you know it's part of the process.

You are doing great, and I know why you are craving candy. Yes-that is Sarah and she is with
you, she's the one that sit's on the end of your
bed. You can't see her, but she is with you.

We gave her that mission, and she knows she has
a job to do. Sarah never screwed up on her
assignments. We know you are KICKING ASS THE
QUEEN'S WAY.

We love you Queen.

This calls for a big OY GEVALT.

Sis #1 you motivated me to clean out a closet.
Holy Crap, what a project. But I thought Hey if
she can do that so can I.

ooff!

a hard day for you!
I can tell cause your spelling was a little off...

I was outside today - and I thought of you.
The sun was so bright, and the air was warm and the wind was strong.

You are doing it -
we are cheeeeeerrrrrrinnnng.

I went outside...it was almost dark. The full moon was burnt orange as it peeked through the eastern clouds. It will be waiting on you when you leave MDA. You rock.

Hey sweetie... I did something I didn't want to do today - Go to Target. I rewarded myself with BK on the way back to work. AND I was outside in the sunshine. The windows were open on the van, and the wind was blowing my hair. It was lovely.

Hugs to you. You continue to be in my thoughts.

This is my first visit, but I'll be back for more assignments. I like this idea, and I like the reason why you are giving them out. God Bless you and your family.

Hi deb
Lawbrat sent me here...So sorry you have not been able to go outside for a month..I sure hope you get back on track and kick this thing..

I will have to go outside tommorw..its already dark out here..and I cant see the sun:(

get well sweety;)

I've been in and out most of the day. Its quite cold here, unlike the last few days that were quite nice. We did spend a long time outside last Sunday. Went to the nature preserve and took some pictures, and it was just wonderful.
Soon, you'll be going outside, enjoying the beautiful weather, and playing with Zoe.

Love to you!

Hi Deb,

I was sent by your biggest fan, Lawbrat. I hope that you feel better soon. I will be sure to go for a walk outseide today. You really are inspirational.

Keep your chin up,

Bike ride - 20 miles. 50 degrees and mostly sunny. At each water stop we toasted you with our water bottles. You ARE doing this, and with more grace, humor and determination than I can fathom. Truly, today you are my hero.

it was one of those phoenix days that starts out cold and ends up warmer than you thought. i was wearing a fleece and jeans this morning and by afternoon i was in a linen skirt and a t-shirt! i sat in the sun and sent fresh air and warm rays thoughts to you, deb.

and say yes to the drugs, sweetie. you are doing this!
xo

I have been thinking about you and keeping you in my prayers. Mostly for the fastest relief from the ick-poo symptoms and for those cells to ROCK and get you back to the best of health!

Also, I did something really hard today. I sat in a meeting with about 150 other people who also were trying to listen to the speaker rather than A) contemplate the work we all left sitting on our desks or B) how we'd much rather be anywhere else but work. It was really challenging. Then I went to another meeting where 5 of us tried to make heads or tails out of the info from the first meeting. Alas, we were sadly unsuccessful. Thus, I deserve chocolate twice at least. Once for the first meeting and once to soothe my sadness from the second one. :o) Great assignment.

You can do this, Deb! Hang in there and keep zoning out when you need to! BIG HUGS from this corner!

Enjoy the high. Hope the food stays down soon. Send me your address and I mail you a box of Kentucky chocolate Bourbon candy!

I went out at lunch today for a walk and thought of you and prayed for you. I hope you are feeling diddy very very soon.

Deb, check out my blog for pictures of outside. I posted them specifically with you in mind.

Aloha,

My wish for you is a tub with Winkin Blinkin & Nod. WB & N may be whomever you wish to share this bliss. This is not your ordinary tub. This is a huge tub with water just the right temperature and rose petals floating on the surface. Calm servers offer you cool glasses of water or whatever your hearts desire all you need to do is ask. You hear the sound of trickling water and the soft sounds of earths nature in the background. There are stacks of fluffy, soft, white towels nearby in case you want to leave. This fantasy is yours and you may invite anyone to come and luxuriate in your realm. You ARE the Queen of this Universe.

the moon outside is beautiful tonight. everyone should take a gander if they have a chance.
oy I take phenegran for migranes sometimes and they flat out knock me out.. take advantage.. sleepin is better than puking! and it gives you that extra healing power!
hope you have a better night.

I'm sorry your feeling bad, but soon, oh so very soon, you'll be hitting the door just in time for spring. I don't know about spring in Texas but spring here is my favorite, except for the pollin thing.
The moon is beautiful here in Boston also, its the wolf moon and I got to see it at 4am on my way into work. I got called in, so i'm hoping that covers two assingnments: going out side and enjoying the moon(i love the moons) and doing something I really did not want to do(come to work at 4am). I wish we were at the same hospital, i would be able to visit you and get you what ever you needed.
I hope your days get better and know i'm thinking of you.
Prayers and Peace
Nancy

Thinking of you and praying for you, Deb. You can do all things. Hope you get your Diddy on soon. I smiled when I read you're craving candy. I think that's a very fine sign :)

Whoa! I got two assignments done at once and didn't even know it! The thing I did that I didn't want to do was walk to meet my partner at work and then walk home with her - she wanted me to, but I'm very lazy. But, I did what I was supposed to do and did something I didn't want to do, which was also to take a walk! Yippee!

Now for the reward...hmmmm...

Keep on keepin on!

xoxo

I walked to the grocery store yesterday and brought home some foodstuffs and then I walked to the pharmacy and bought Maxi pads... so I did get out! I woke up to snow this morning. Sigh, more Canadian snow.

Thinking of you,

Aimee.

Hello Houston,
Today is a sunny day here, the temp is about 40.
I live pretty close to where I work. I rode my
bike today. No laughing here. I did bring a change
of clothes. I can't bike in my work clothes.

Hope those medicinal cocktails are helping you
with the pukes, and getting a good night's rest.

I think about you all the time, and soon you
too will be outside.

Love,
Nikki

Today I will go outside, take in the weather and offer a prayer of thanks for the gift of such a wonderful day...and while I have the Big Kahuna on the line, I'll pray for you.

I'll pray that you can keep some food down, that you get to hug Zoe again real soon, that you'll get to go outside to enjoy the weather. I'll pray for healing for you, thanks for your caregivers like Miranda the nurse, your stem-cell donating brother, your fiercely devoted sisters and all those who stop by every day to remind you that you CAN do this. You WILL do this.

And I'll pray to give thanks for you. I think more than you may realize, your posts here help people who read about how difficult a day can be for the Deb-Uma and yet remain witty and positive. Stay strong.

I raked leaves for you yesterday. It was 30 degrees warmer yesterday here than it is today. My brother-in-law had a bone marrow transplant back in 1988 when it was truly experimental and the Registry had just started. It was autumn and he said to me one afternoon, "People just don't realize how lucky they are that they can go outside and rake their leaves." I looked around my yard and started raking up the leaves that have blown into it since last October, and sent positive thoughts your way. Today the wind is fierce and cold and maybe would have blown all those leaves I raked on down to another yard, but I was just happy to be able to be outside raking leaves. I hope you go for a lap today.

Good Morning! Today is a brand new day, and I hope you're enjoying the sleep you're getting, and getting stronger by the minute.
You are the Queen, and you are doing it!

Well, Deb - I did something for you outside.

And then I got fined for public nudity.

I think next time, you might need to be a little more specific...

I went outside, but unlike Bucky kept my clothes on.
Hope you can keep something down, I have to agree with you, there is nothing worse than things coming up.

The first person I thought of today as I woke up was you, Deb. As I was huddled under the covers doing a mental "just five more minutes" I thought, "Get out of bed, you! Get up and move around and go outside! Don't you know there are people who want to and can't? What would Deb think of you?"

Which is pretty strange, considering I had not yet read this entry on your blog. So we are of the same mind this morning. I'm putting on my hiking boots for a tromp in the freshly fallen snow. (Um, oh yeah, lots more than just hiking boots. My name's not Bucky.)

Minneapolis today - (Wednesday) Sunny & Cold with a thick blanket of new snow. It's so sunny that when it reflects off the snow even the best sun glasses are worthless; I'm all squinty behind the glasses. The fresh snow has been plowed and lost its virgin white pureness along the roads, side walks, and parking lots, but if you trudge around the back of the house and look out into the open field it is untouched except for the bunny tracks.

Hope today is a better day,

I shall embrace the sunny day for you and holler gleefully. Love and prayers.

More sun here today, but I can't get out to enjoy it -- I'lm stuck inside ALL day working at one place or another. *sigh* So you and I will have to think of indoor things that are good. Like, plumbing for instance...! Hope the puke fairy takes a break today, and that you get to eat all that (sugar-free) candy you're craving.

Still praying for you all the time. Today I pray this is the worst of it and soon you'll be feeling better and headed home. You can do this! Napping, flying high, and hallucinating just might make it go faster. At least I hope so.

Hello from the land of peaches (Georgia). It was a bit chilly and windy here today but has promises of warming out. I thought of you last night as the sun was setting. I'll see if I can get some pictures of it for you.

Hoping you can keep something down soon. Good to see you are saying yes to drugs. Hang in there and remember, you'll be outta there soon!

Okay, start stuffing some of those cocktails under your mattress. I'll drive down in a few days and we'll make a little bidness transaction. Mmmmkay?

Lemme get some clothes on and I'll go outside. I don't want to scare anyone.

OH MY! Buckys comment just cracks me up. Bucky always cracks me up.

Ahh, to be so free as to go outside nekked. 2 year-olds can get away with that. I'd probably make someone drop dead of a heart attack to see me do that. Not a pretty sight.

Thinking of you!

Love,
Dawn

you can do this, you ARE doing this.

Sunshine will be yours soon.

Always in my prayers.

I will officially stop bitching now about how cold it is outside. Thanks for the dose of perspective.

I'm SO glad you are saying yes to the pharmaceuticals. Enjoy the high while you can. I did my laundry for you yesterday and spent most of the day outside for you today. The weather here in Charleston,SC is beautiful about 67 with sunny blue skies. However ALL the cars are yellow with the pollen, hence the carwash, and the allergies are flaring. I took my 5 yr old to lunch and thought about you and Zoe the whole time. Hang in there girl You will be walking outside with your Zoe soon. I can feel it!!!!

As this mission was for yesterday, I'll relay the wonderful time the daughter and I had last night at the barn. She's riding this very young, green broke (which means he's new at this passenger on the back thing) Egyptian Arabian--cute face. Lauren just LOVES him! So, she takes him into the round pen to run him out a bit to get his 'buggers' out, since there's a cold front coming. Horses always get a bit frisky when the weather changes. And he's no exception. His name is Lone Star. So, Lone Star is racing, I mean barreling around this pen with Lauren calling the shots from the center of the pen. He's having a ball, tail's flying-his head is held high and his mane is flying in the wind. He's high stepping at a trot--those front legs are extending out front and his tail is held so high it appears to be sitting on his back. Then he starts SNORTING! He's enjoying himself so much, he's snorting! We're cracking up. He's snorting, showing off and loving it! I gotta tell you. It just amazes me what she can do with those animals. Here's this little, young girl standing all alone in the center of this round pen with this big animal running around her. She steps out in front of him with a crop and he turns and runs the other direction. There is no physical connection between the two of them. Only his desire to do what she tells him! When he gets all run down, he stops, walks gently to the center where she is standing and puts down his head to her. Takes my breath away every time. So, there you have my experience outside. And yes, I do feel so blessed that I now have tears in my eyes.

Many, many prayers for you!

My Mother wore something equally as ugly as
Army Boots when we were children.

I walk with my kids each and every day. Rain or
shine, it's our time to get outside before
the homework starts.

You are doing GREAT my Queen. Sarah would be very
proud of you. You are her kind of trooper, nothing
get's you down.

Love Lisabeth

Deb-

I went to the mailbox today...it was cold..and scary..but I went for you!!!!

Thinking of you!
