Skin cancer surgery Thursday, should be easy pleassy. In and out the door in a one way no fuss sorta deal. That’s what I get for laying out in the Caribbean sun for on and off time with no sunscreen for five years . Idiot. Yea, I’ll say it again. Idiot.

Praying everything went well. I was out in the sun in Hawaii for 2 years surfing and in the Philippines for 2 years and on swim team
and thankfully when I had 9 moles taken off none of them were cancerous.

I am very thankful this morning.
I have a good friend who is like me in that he’s older and trying to stay in shape. We work together to motivate each other. He lives 6 houses up the street from me. I awoke at 3 in the morning to fire trucks. I went outside and it was Jeremy’s house in flames. You want to know how you feel about someone…..wake up and find that…you’ll know your true feelings real quick. I ran towards the house and called him. Straight to voicemail. I called his wife. Straight to voicemail. As I got close to the house my phone rang, and it was Laurie.
I thank the G-d of my fathers they were not home. They had decided to go camping last minute and the whole family was safe. So remember them in your prayers but mostly thank G-d for that mercy on my behalf please.

Thank the Lord....

My cousins husband, great guy, the ones who actually moved here for a while, and planning on coming back. He's pretty banged up, and needs some prayers for recovery

It is a miracle that he is alive from the looks of his car, praying for him.

please continue to keep my wife in your thoughts and prayers

Physically, she's pretty strong, walking a lot, but has zero safety awareness.
On her cognitive assessment on Thursday, she scored 0 out of a possible 15, with 15 being best and 0 being worst.
She has about 12-15 words she is using, but it's very difficult to interpret what she's saying.
The speech therapist says she refuses to try to eat, means no swallow test, so she's still on the feeding tube (has been since 3/11). So she's still NPO, except for crushed ice.
Today's visit was good. I think her facial expressions were more like her old self.
Cancer can EABOD and swaller.

On the way home, I stopped in @volfanbill 's old neck of the woods for some Chinese and got home in time to watch the baseball game.

As I'm typing this, Curley and Moore went yard.

Still praying

 

[Vjcvette]

It seems there’s quite a few that need prayers, including myself. We all need prayers in good times and bad. It should make us all grateful for time. Time with our loved ones and those memories that GOD has granted us.

Amen....

All for being a teenager that moved to Jamaica from Mississippi and thinking I’d be okay without sunscreen, even if I’m a darker skin person , It doesn’t matter, idiot to myself. . I’ve had one burned off at the doctor’s office years ago and I probably have to go through this again, idiot myself.

Hey when we were young and having fun, you don't think about sunscreen, anything happening in the future was not even a thought, and they didn't even talk much about it when I was young.

God Bless each and every one of you out there. When I joined this site we'll over a year ago, I didn't think that I would use any other forum outside of the general NCAA. Well,this has helped me as well as my personal Facebook when needing prayers Tonight is no different. This isn't for attention. I'm dealing with serious depression tonight. My family and loved ones are asleep so I can't talk to anyone right now which usually helps which I'm sure this will. I've been a bit emotional off and on about things that I cannot control,and it's seemed to become harder as I have gotten older. I have so much to be thankful for. A wonderful and caring family, and beautiful and caring fiancee. I'm moving soon. I'm just really overwhelmed and exhausted right now. I truly believe this will pass,but in the meantime, I ask for your thoughts and prayers

Hang in there man. I understand how it can feel overwhelming at times, and you can't handle it anymore. Keep fighting, always reach out, even if it's here. These folks have been a help to me so much with my wife's health. Not just praying, but just letting me vent, so feel free to do so. I'll be praying for you.

You have both from me!

Is there any kind of hotline that you can call? If you’re being treated by a mental health professional (I certainly hope that you are!), have they given you a list of resources for times like this?

This number is for anyone needing support with mental health, not just those thinking of suicide. It helps having someone on the line who understands how serious severe depression is, and how it makes you feel.

What to Expect

Using 988 is free. When you call, text, or chat 988, your conversation is confidential. 988 provides you judgment-free care. Talking with someone can help save your life.

988lifeline.org

Please do what you need to do to take care of yourself! We care about you, but I think you need to talk to someone trained in MH issues.

Yes,I have a therapist who has been a true godsend. I have used the crisis hotline before and likely will if I need to. Yeah,it's mainly depression. Just a knee-jerk reaction on my end posting. Probably should not have shared so much. God Bless and hope everyone has a good night. I think a good night's sleep will help

Thank you

I have issues that I’ve been dealing with for a while. I am finally taking a step towards dealing with them today. I see a therapist at 10 for the first time. I hope you find relief and peace in your life. I hope I do as well.

I have survived a deep and dark depression and encourage you to reach out when you need to do so. Do not stare into the abyss. If you feel it tugging at you, look outward, engage with others. See the good in yourself and your life. Contemplate it, even when you can’t feel it. There will be a time when you find peace with who and where you are in life. Keep moving towards it. Worth, value, and love are yours. You will know this at the center of your being. Your connections in the VN ether want this for you and give support freely.

I hope that your initial meeting with the therapist is constructive. Experiences in my youth made me wary of them. Not able to connect with trust a professional, I found what I needed from a sympathetic colleague and friend who actively listened to me and judiciously offered observation and wisdom, enough to aid me in exorcising my demons and realizing the better man I knew myself to be.
