i'm baaaack --- kinda. as soome of you know, i was recently diagnosed with ;lung cancer --- maybe 50 yrs of cigs not good --- and i likelyy have copd. so chemo and copd have me a tad addled recently. now i told you that so this would maybe make more sense --- last wed i woke up late mornibg after 4 hrs sleep -- i keep weird hours -- and felt congested -- not an unusual affair. i went to the br to blow my nose and spit (ugh!). stadingg at the sink, i su ddenly fell sidewise into the br and hit the floor. i later found i'd broken my left radius. now comes the fun.

since no one knows why i fell, if u blackked out, if i was dizzy -- hell, i can't remember -- i've got my pulmonary guy, mt oncologist,

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

Dear Muncle, You inspired my post about helping out people that might need it. You told me in confidence a while back about the difficult time you are having. OK, you have outed yourself. If you need anything, you have a support group here on TOTV. Post, call us, PM us. We will be there.

SORRY -- I CONTINUE --- THHIS ONE HAND TYPING SUCKS

since no one knows why i fell, if u blackked out, if i was dizzy -- hell, i can't remember -- i've got my pulmonary guy, mt oncologist,
a brand new cardiologist, a dietitian, a speech therapist, and of course a osteopathic surgeon With anesthetist. ahh there's the rub. osteo wants to operate asap with a general. pulmonary says no way you use a general on my boy. we nee4d to give him big drugs to strengthen lungs, but still don't like general. friday they all agree that op ok under local so i went under early pm. turns out the local not strong enuf so they used a general in or -- but not so deep that they needed to resuscitate. pulmonary still went ape on osteo --- don't know details since i heard it thru hospital rumor mill but i really believe all parties were doing what they thoought best for me.

anyway they kept me 2 more days --= escaped sunday. now have 1/2 hard cast with elastic on top. probably get full hard one --cast--- next week for 2-3 months. having minor shortness of breath issues when i get congested. still uncomfortable sleeping -- use recliner. my older sister is still visiting from kc -- she came because of the cancer, but that's kinda slipped my mind -- and will be here another week. my other sister moved here to duval last fall. my neighbors have been great --- typical of tv -- my sis and i were discussing that after mt big c diagnosis. had this happened to me any of the places i lived in 30 yrs, i'd have had some help, but nothing like here.

heard today from bbb and bs -- called me from frozen michigan --- and was told about this thread -- WOW i'm aghast. thanx for worrying. life's got its ups and its downs. i'm just on a minor downturn --- could be a lot worse --- oh, finishing the huge prepaid dental implant project is on a hold until we do a lot more chemo and radiation. i've a quasi-permanent gap in my upper front that you could fly a galaxy thru. but it will get better. any bets on whose house gets hit by fay and/or accompanying tornado?

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

Helping Hands are here. If in need, we'll do the deed!!! Take care Muncle!! You are in my prayers! I'm going to PM you about my Mom, almost 2 years lung cancer free.

Re: Where's Muncle?

We are over 5,000 strong and I know that each and every one of us will help in whatever way we can. You are very dear to us. Your friend, chels

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

Muncle, I only know you through your posts here but I hope you stay strong and you get through those treatments soon. I'm too far away to help in person but you will be in my prayers.

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

Geez, so sorry to hear. I also know you primarily through your posts, on top of which we're snowbirds and not at TV now, but rest assured you do have a cadre of good folk in TOTV who mean it when they say they're there for you and anyone else who may need whatever. Good luck!

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

Hi Munc,

Good cyberthoughts to you all the way from Ohio. And while I know that your sisters are no doubt spoiling you, as well they should, you had better be doing exactly what they tell you to do.

Please get all better soon.

We miss you when you don't come out to play.

Take care.

Your cyberspace friend,
B3

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

Muncle, another one who will happily hop to if you need anything. We miss you big guy!

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

Muncle.

So glad to hear from you. I had heard of your difficulties through the grapevine. We do have a STRONG grapevine. I was hoping you would let us know. I am up here in Ohio but when I get down there I am coming over and banging on every door on your street with a casserole of good ole Ohio "Johnny Marzetti". This will prove interesting because I don't know what you look like and don't know your name and only know you live near Brightspot but don't know where she lives, but I do know her first name. I do know you both live in Liberty Park? I think.

Anyway. I will find you. "Johnny Marzetti" is proven to make almost anyone feel better. I will throw in my homemade Cinnamon rolls too.

You are a stranger to me but a real friend. Something that only another TOTV'r could understand.

Sending warm thoughts and a hug.

GracieGirl et al.

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

Muncle. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

Muncle, you have my prayers as well, we need your pithy repartee on a regular basis! ;)

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

Muncle

I'm sending best wishes and prayers across 1100 miles to you. I know you are in good hands with your sister there but I worry about you when she leaves. Although your other sister lives in Duval, it's not the same as having someone in the house with you.

There are many TOTVers living in The Villages and are willing to lend a hand during your treatments and recovery. Take advantage of their genuine offers to cook, clean, and run errands for you. You have many friends through TOTV and only wish I were there to help, too.


Take care, my friend.

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

Muncle
We have never met but I keep up with you and most things here on TOTV. I too was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and recently had surgery at Mayo and was fortunate to have had a successful surgery. Please know that you are in my prayers and if there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. I live in Duval which is not too far away.

Hi Muncle wav

Sending you my prayers for your speedy recovery - from 3,000 miles away wav

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

I've enjoyed your posts and glad that you are back online. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

Hello Muncle. You're in my thoughts and prayers. I'm a cancer (tonsil) patient, not quite a survivor yet as it's only been one year. I had the whole banana, chemo, surgeries, radiation. It's hard, really hard. However, keep the faith and take it just one day at a time.
Hang tough and come back strong, my friend.

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

Hi Muncle

You've been in my thoughts a lot recently. I didn't want to post on TOTV as I wasn't sure if you were keeping your illness private. Now that you've outed yourself, (in Sam's words), you will have many offers of help. Please sit back and accept all the help you're offered. It makes people feel good when you allow them to help out.

I'm helping a friend here in Canada who has stomach and liver cancer. My dearest wish to be able to help him in some way. I feel so helpless, and it is a blessing when they allow me to help with driving to Chemo, helping them get organized to sell their home, etc. People will sincerely want to help you; and I hope you relax and allow them to dote on you.

Sending you love, blessings, and healing white light ...

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

Muncle:

From all your ailments, I can't decide which might be the hardest to cope with. But, you should know by now that all of us here on TOTV are rooting for you all the way!

And, I'll put in a plug for my personal favorite support group for folks with COPD (emphysema and/or chronic bronchitis) which meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at the Clinical Laboratories Building across 441/27 from TVRH, and its corrollary exercise and breathing class on the 1st and 3rd Friday. PM me if you want more info!

Thinking of you!

Re: Where's Muncle?
 

Muncle, so sorry to hear of your illness and accident. You are in my thoughts and prayers. While I'm not yet in TV and thus can't provide any services for you, please do take up the offers of your fellow residents. It's clear they want to help. Let them.
