Title: An update from our member peleroja
Post by: okarol on November 08, 2011, 10:59:27 AM
I received this note from peleroja:

Thanks For thinking of me.

As you know, the first half of this year was rough for me.  Sadly, the second half was worse.  In July I fell, for no apparent reason, crossing my kitchen, and since my speech was confused, they took me to the hospital and diagnosed a mini stroke.  While in the hospital I complained of abdominal pains I had been having, and two endoscopies later they discovered I have carcinoid tumors in my stomach.  They wanted to remove the stomach, but I refused.  I have gotten weaker and weaker, and it seems all I do is go to dialysis M-W-F, try and rest the other days (when I’m not seeing doctors), and wondering why I never put Kevorkian’s number on speed dial!  I haven’t been on IHD as I don’t have the strength to sit and read posts.

So there you have it in a nutshell.  Taking it one day at a time.

Karol, as administrator, feel free to post this or reply to anyone who asks.  They can also reach me at peleroja @ ca.rr.com.  Thanks!

Hugs, Jenifer

How strange, that as I signed on, I thought, I am going to check her status when I get on, as I have not seen her post in a long time. So very sorry to hear of this. Hope that things turn around for you and you can get some of your strength back. Hugs and Love.

It's in times like these that you feel rather useless, sitting at a computer and trying to find the right words.  I'm very sad to hear about this, and I hope she will find her way through this.  I hope that knowing we care is of some use.

It is an email address, but she has put a space each side of the @ so the spambots can't use it. Take out the spaces and it will work.   :)

Thanks Henry, yes, I should have said: I purposely spaced out her email address so spambots would not detect it.

Makes me cry.  Sometimes it is all too much.   Her wisdom and spirit were things I always looked forward to.  I will try to get an email off to her.

I got an email today:

My carpal tunnel syndrome in the right hand flared up a few months back, so I'm not doing as much computer stuff.  It seems the "mousing" is what exacerbates it.  No more games, and hardly any time on the internet.  Just read my emails, respond, and that's it.  It's bad enough having the steele syndrom in the left hand, and now the right hand keeps going numb.  Most annoying!  Other than that, same old, same old.  I drove to Fresno last weekend to visit with my family, and am planning on moving there.  Not much really left for me in SoCal.
 
Thanks for thinking of me.
 
Hugs,
Jenifer
