Thanks Karilea, I still haven't gotten the pathology results of my biopsy... I know there's no tumor tissue there, but there could still be some malignant cells. We were supposed to have these results on Monday, and now it looks like we have to wait a whole extra week....and believe me...I have been walking on glass this week.  ~ glad you liked it hugsLyra |

Lyra, this to me is the outpouring of feelings of a woman, very vulnerable... Battling fear as well as she can.... Hugs dear lady.....a beautiful and powerful write...straight from one's heart.... |

Thanks Barry... you hit the nail right on the head.... a bullseye! I was supposed to know my results last Monday and I really wasn't too terribly worried because there was no tumor. But now, my fear has had a whole extra week to percolate and marinate....and, especially after being sick with pneumonia all week...I am feeling quite scared and vulnerable...  ~ hugs of vulnerabilityLyra copyright2002 Lyra Nesius "poetry is life distilled" Gwendolyn Brooks [This message has been edited by Madame Chipmunk (07-06-2002 11:02 PM).] |

Lyra This poem is so perfectly expressed...fear is just like that, yet I see you so powerful, that I want to be like you. So sorry you have to wait longer...I wait with you. |

Thanks so much for waiting with me, Martie. If only I had gotten the results before the weekend started, I wouldn't have this fear right now. Now, I have 2 whole days to wait and if I am lucky....I might hear something on Monday. One part of me tells me not to be afraid because there's nothing there...how could there be? theres no tumor....but another part of me keeps saying...what if...what if? There still could be some cells.... Kinda scarey, especially since I have no real plans for those cells.... thanks for being a friend. ~ hugs and hugsLyra |

Lyra, effective poem, full of foreboding. I know what you mean about the test results. Telling yourself to be sensible, and don't borrow trouble, and all that, is worthless. I think fear is a body thing more than a mind thing, because once it starts the chemicals take over. I'm sorry to hear about the pneumonia, too. Are you getting over that? Love, Nan |

Thanks Nan... You are so right. Once it gets started, it takes over. The pneumonia started from a cold I caught at my grandaughter's ballet recital, which was a couple of days before my biopsy. When I came out of the O.R. after the biopsy, my nose started running a marathon, but the recovery room nurse wouldn't let me sit up to blow it out because my blood pressure was too low, so it all went down into my bronchial tree...and I couldn't cough it up so it turned into pneumonia because my immune system is very compromised right now from all of the treatments I had. I have just finished the last of my antibiotics and so far, I'm getting a little better each day, so I keep trying to do more and then I get exhausted.... But, I will get there! I have things to do and poems to write.  ~ big poetic hugsLyra |

Sending prayers and warm thoughts your way to hopefully ease some of the fear. You expressed your feelings well in this piece and it gives impact to what you are going through. |

Thanks so much, Mark...I think that writing and getting my feelings out in words on paper or screen, is immensely helpful. Its also very distracting...which is very good right now. ~ thank you hugsLyra |

Lyra, I turn to the serenity's prayer in times like this..may i recite it along with you? God grant me the serenity to accept things i cannot change, the courage to change things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference [This message has been edited by faterider (07-07-2002 02:52 PM).] |

Thanks so much for the big hugs, Marie and also for the prayers. Ironically, this is also the second anniversary of my older son's death. I will be posting a poem about that soon. ~ hugging you backLyra |

Thanks Nan... David and I went out to do some errands today, and when we got back there was a message from my doctor telling me that she would call me back later to discuss the results of the pathology report from my biopsy. I was planning to go to the cemetary today, and now I am stuck here waiting for her to call......and waiting on pins and needles too, because I figure that if she had something good to say, she could have left it in a message, but she didn't. Apparantly, there is something to discuss...which makes me nervous...so I am now wearing my best pout.  ~ nervously hugging youLyra copyright2002 Lyra Nesius "poetry is life distilled" Gwendolyn Brooks [This message has been edited by Madame Chipmunk (07-08-2002 06:39 PM).] |
