But actually, I don't think I'll be posting much on here either, and
maybe not at Chucks. Oh, nothing wrong with Chuck, or friend's I've
made here either, but I spend way to much time looking at a computer
screen.

Besides, I really haven't mentioned anything in the past, but my wife
has been diagnosed with non Hotchkins Lymphoma B. Yes, malignant, and
she just took her first chemo treatment monday. She's going to be
baptized with fire for a while. Every 21 days. She's a "illy-white
Irish redhead, and the last couple days she looked like she'd been
scalded, and really nausiated. It'sin stage 2 and the dr.s say there
is an excellent recovery rate for her stage and test profile which
I'm very thankful for. naturally she's going to start losing her hair,
which especially to women is one of the worst parts of the treatment,
but that's how it goes.

Not wanting high fuel prices to stand in the way I was still wanting
to do some good baoting this year, but i wanted to take her out on the
lake a lot. she likes boating, but now she has to stay protected fromt
he sun, and even with a bimibi top providing lots of shade we still
don't want to take chances. Besides, if she's not going, i really
don't want to go without her.

Maybe I'm just feeling down in the dumps right now... which I am, and
I didn't bring this up to bawl on anyones shoulders. And I might have
a different attitude tomorrow, but at the moment that's how I feel. I
may give rec.boats a break for a while. I'm not going to totally sign
out, but I need to spend less time sorting through the China spam and
political drivel, and take care of things here at home....

I know, y'all understand.

thanks!

All the best for you and your wife, Tim. You have always been a class
act so come back soon!

Sorry to hear this Tim. I'm sure your wife will pull through just
fine. Come back and keep us updated.... think of it as stress relief.

We'll be thinking of you.

Second that.
No getting away from the worries, as I found out when my daughter
had thyroid cancer. But the low points don't last long.
She pulled through, and I'm sure your wife will too.
Keep your chin up.

Sorry to hear it, Tim. You've got my email, keep in touch. Please.

I came back from a weeks golf trip to find several hundred attack posts
from Harry and JimH. Even boating posts get attacked.

I think I'll follow Eisboch's lead.

Best of luck to you and yours. I have a good friend and former
colleague who is now 7 years along since his original diagnosis and
treatment with the same condition. He's doing just fine.

Thanks guys. That means a lot. Yes, We have friends that have gone
through the same thing and have been doing fine for several years now.
But y'know? Cancer is something that you always hear happening to
"someody else". But sometime, you are the "somebody else" .

But The dr.s have stated that with her condition and otherwise good
health, statisticly she has about an 83% recovery rate, which is great
news. But getting there is literally a hell on earth. Then I get to
thinking that she might be in the unlucky 17%. I know it's not healthy
for anyone to dwell on that. A good attitude is a great key to
recovery.

She/we are going to be tied up with treatments all summer so probably
boating will be a rare occasion, and yes, she'll feel a lot worse
before she gets better. But that's the way it is.

.

Tim,
Best wishes to you and your wife. As your wife's caretaker, as she goes
through this tough treatment you will spend a lot of time taking care of
her. Make sure you remember to take care of the caretaker, he will need
the support as much as she does.

Reggie, the email address is good. Give me a shout if you're ever up this
way.

What was it Skipper used to say........??
"Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out"!
In your case, maybe you should let it knock some sense into you.
Shame on you...just back from a vacation and can't wait to attack other
posters. No wonder the more sensible, middle roaders are bailing out.

This is so typical of your posts, Donnie. It says a lot about you as a
real person and not one part of that is good.

JimH, all you've done here is the personal attacks. You've even
attacked every single person in rec.boats over at Chuck's. Again, if
this is so terrible, why in hell are you here?
