day 287

i'm not quite sure if i have the energy to finish this entry but i do know if i don't write stuff down that i forget .. so here i go .. nothing fancy .. just plain too tired

i had mentioned the baby bump right above the tumor on  my left rib .. this isn't under my arm so much as just a few inches above my tumor on my rib so there is no way its a lymph node .. i got in to see dr raymond and he asked me if it hurt or if it bothered me .. i said no to both .. its just there .. he said around their office if something doesn't hurt or bother the patient, they don't worry about it .. i can do that as long as this isn't the tumor thats going to kill me .. he reassured me that in the scheme of things, this bump is really minor ::big smiles::

my numbness in my fingers and hands seems to be changing .. less numb at times .. then back to the typical level of numbness .. i really like my hands being less numb .. it makes me feel more normal :)

this tumor that appeared on my left rib is causing less pain !!!  i stopped using the morphine patch and i'm popping about half the vicodin that has been prescribed .. thats good news hehe

i've been on steroids since my surgery (to reduce brain swelling and elimiate seizures) and now they've begun to wean me off the drug .. its a 3 week process where i reduce the amount of the drug by 1 mg a week .. i am (i think) already feeling less of the side effects since tuesday (which is also a good thing!!)  i actually had one morning where i had more energy than i've had for awhile .. i think i overdid it on that day and now i've decided to take it easy so i don't use up too much energy in one day :)

i am nervous about being weaned off the steroids .. even though i don't want to take them any longer than necessary, its probably that i'm  nervous about having more seizures if i'm no longer taking the meds .. i'm keeping my fingers crossed !!

today, if all goes well, is the last of my 10 radiation treatments .. i hope 10 is enough .. i suppose they're gonna run a few tests and scans just to make sure the tumors are gone .. ::big sigh::

monday i'm turning the big 5 0 !!!  i decided that i wanted to be treated to a massage package at my favorite day spa which is right next door to my office just a few miles away .. i'm a bit nervous about being away from home for 2 hours, but i'm really looking forward to being spoiled !!

here's the description of the package that i decided on ...
"Head to Toe Revival ..

Our most popular package. A full body massage melts away all your tension using a blend of aromatic essential oils. Then our Aroma+ facial cleans, conditions, and exfoliates your skin, ending with a warm mask and a delightful foot massage. An incredibly luxurious and pampering experience.
Please reserve about 2hrs."

ask me if i'm looking forward to the treatment on monday !!!

well it appears that i've done run out of energy for awhile .. i was hoping to be able to write more but i am still fatigued easily .. maybe i'll take a nap before i head off to my rad treatment at 3:30

Hi Pam,
I have just seen your recent photos...you are in spite of all your chemo and stuff...a very beautiful woman..how do you manage it??  The spa sounds just the thing you need. After all the hammering your body has had a little pampering and soothing should do it a world of good. As for 50 its no big deal.....Jane Fonda, Sharon Stone, Kim Catrell they are much sexier, better looking now at 50 than they ever were...and with your cheekbones and eyes you'll be knocking them dead for a long time to come. Have a wonderful time at the spa.

Dr. Raymond didn't seem to concerned about the baby bump, put your faith in him since he isn't too worried about it.  Know you are concerned about going off the steroids, but doing it slowly like you are will allow you to see or feel any changes that will take place and hopefully this treatment will have helped you with your seizures.  You hang in there dear. Always in my special thoughts are you..AJ

No doubt the road to recovery is often times just as bumpy as the illness itself.  Glad that itty bitty baby tumor is no big deal.
Enjoy your day spa spoiling.  I say that with longing because I can never know such enjoyment and relaxation.  I'm soooo ticklish that I can't handle anyone touching me like that.  Heck, I barely stopped laughing long enough to make my 5 babies!

Hey Pam! I would never tell any of the guys on the FD with me... but I've been known to get a massage or two myself after a big fire.. lol.

You look so cute in your new jammies! :)  Yes, steroids can make you hands feel large and numb.  You do have to be weaned off it.  I always get the "moon face" too, and my side effects were arthritis and firbromyalgia symptoms that didn't go away.  The only thing that helps me is my AgelessXtra and Regenicare.

***cross posted from Pam's update group****

We hadn't heard from Pam since the 9th... mom doesn't like to call her, in case she's sleeping, usually she waits for Pam to call every day.

We called her this morning, and got no answer on her cell phone, so we called her house phone later in the afternoon.. Pam answered, but she just said that she didn't feel good at all and didn't want to talk..
so lots of prayers are needed right now... I went through Pam's Journal and put all her pictures on CD, at least from the diagnosis on, so that mom could see them... it was pretty emotional.

I'm pretty worried right now.. but then it's out of our hands, right?
so why worry... I just gotta keep remembering that whatever happens in life it may look like chaos and confusion, but someone has a master plan. It's just not mine.

Sorry it's not better news.

I just checked Nancy's updates.  After not seeing an update from Pam for a while, I started to get worried about her and checked further.

I am hoping Pam is getting all of the rest she needs and that the rest will help her regain her strength and her energy and that she'll be back to posting soon.

Whatever the case, Pam and Nancy and ALL of the family are in my thoughts and prayers today, Easter Sunday.

Oh, and a HAPPY 50TH TO PAM!

My sister Pam passed away today.

I don't have other information, as to exactly when, or anything else, her ex husband called my sister Susie about an hour ago to let her know.

She is at peace now, she's not in pain, she doesnt hurt. We who loved her are the ones who are suffering now, and i know that my life is better for having had her in it, so the pain even can be appreciated, That I hurt because she was my sister, and I got to love her, and be loved by her.

She told me a couple years ago, that all she wanted out of life, was to touch one person, and make a difference in someone's life. Then she would know that she was a success. The last time that she and I had a long conversation was about 2 weeks ago. And she KNEW that she was a sucess. That she has touched so many people, made a difference in so many people's lives. She knew the end was very near, and she was scared, but she knew that she had accomplished what she had set out for herself as her life's goal. How many of us can say that?

Hug your sisters, your friends, your loved ones. Tell them what they mean to you, and how they've touched your life. Let them know while you can. Life is so short.

Thank you all for your words, and prayers. Knowing that there are people all around the world who are grieving for her as we are is a great comfort to us.

Thank you all

I just spoke with Pam's ex, Nelson, and he filled me in on what happened today.

Nicky, my nephew was with her, around noon. She stopped breathing. He called 911, and did CPR til the paramedics got there. They were unable to revive her, and she was pronounced dead at home.  The police decided because of the circumstances, that no investigation or coroner were needed, and she was left in the care of Nelson and Suzan, her ex-wife-in -law. She was picked up by the funeral home about an hour ago, and Nelson is going down there tomorrow to make the arrangements for her memorial service. Per her wishes, she will be cremated, and I will post the details of the service, should anyone who is close enough to come wants to attend.

I accidentally deleted a bunch of members from her update group today, I am so sorry, my mind is not right at this time.  Please check to see if you were deleted, and I am really really sorry.

I will cross post this in her Journal.

I stumbled upon Pam's journal last August, having just learned that my own Mother was dying of the same disease. I, being her only child for 43 years, was devastated, of course, but Pam's journal was somewhat of an inspiration to me-she had options and she took every single one of them, whereas Mom did not have ANY by the time of her diagnosis. We lost my mom in February-Pam reminded me a lot of my Mom..spunky, full of life, go down fighting...
My sincere condolences and sympathy is with your family now, Pam, and just liek Mom..."The most beautiful flowers fade away, but in Heaven, they bloom forever"

Pam touched my life in a special way.  God led me to her journal when I was having such a hard time dealing with my own sisters death from cancer.  I hate cancer.
But I loved Pam.  Now she is up there with my little sister Christi and I am sure they are having a grand time. I hate that both of them had to go through such pain and treatments that didn't even help.  Just made them weaker and harder to fight. But neither one of them gave up and now they are reeping their rewards in Heaven.  Now I have another guardian angel.  I will miss you Pam.  Thank you for the laughs and the great wisdom you spread throughout Jland.  Rick and I will be keeping you all in our prayers and are sorry for your loss.

How fitting that Pam lost her battle today, on Easter Sunday, the day the Lord rose from the dead.  I believe that Pam left her painful body today and rose up into heaven into everlasting life.  Dad, I'm asking you tonight, please welcome Pam, show her around, buy her a drink and tell her I said hello.  Oh, and take good care of her please.  She's a super woman.

Pam, rest in peace and be pain free.

To Pam's family & VERY MUCH LOVED Son & Daughter, I offer you my prayers that your heart, while understandably sad right now, will soon find comfort and quiet happiness from knowing Pam is now out of pain and taking care of us now in a much bigger way. I'm thinking of her accidental garden...I would not be surprised if you saw signs of her there this summer or in your own. I think that would be a wonderful way for all of us to honor her...with our own accidental gardens because there are really no accidents in life, but pure blessings!

Please let us know where we may send a card, or donations etc to honor her. It will be the best way to honor her!

Pam, you are still an inspiration, the most amazing type. I will always try to live with hope in my heart, and will fight for every day just like you did.
Thank you Nancy for letting us know of this very sad news. The silver lining is that she is now free from her physical pain. You and Pam's entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. I truly hope the children have inherited her strength and they too will do great things.

A story for Grieving & to think of Pam:

The Water Bug Story

Down below the surface of a quiet pond lived a little colony of water bugs. They were a happy colony, living far away from the sun. For many months they were very busy, scurrying over the soft mud on the bottom of the pond. They did notice that every once in a while one of their colony seemed to lose interest in going about with its friends. Clinging to the stem of a pond lily, it gradually moved out of sight and was seen no more.

"Look!" said one of the water bugs to another, "one of our colony is climbing up the lily stalk. Where do you think she's going?" Up, up, up it slowly went... Even as they watched, the water bug disappeared from sight. It's friends waited and waited but it didn't return...

"That's funny!" said one water bug to another...

" Wasn't she happy here?" asked a second...

"Where do you suppose she went?" wondered a third...

No one had an answer. They were greatly puzzled.

Finally one of the water bugs gathered its friends together. "I have an idea. The next one of us who climbs up the lily stalk must promise to come back and tell us where he or she went and why." "We promise" they said solemnly.

One spring day not long after the very water bug who had suggested the plan found himself climbing up the lily stalk. Up, up, up he went. Before he knew what was happening, he had broken through the surface of the water and fallen into the broad and free lily pad above.

When he awoke, he looked about with surprise. He couldn't believe what he saw. A startling change had come over his old body. His movement revealed four silver wings and a long tail.

Even as he struggled, he felt an impulse to move his wings... The warmth of the sun soon dried the moisture from his new body. He moved his wings again and suddenly found himself above the water.

(Continued)

Anonymous said...

Continued...

He had become a dragonfly. Swooping and dipping in great curves, he flew through the air. He felt exhilarated in the new atmosphere.

By and by the new dragonfly landed happily on a lily pad to rest. Then it was that he chanced to look below to the bottom of the pond. Why, he was right above his old friends, the water bugs! There they were scurrying around, just as he had been doing some time before.

Then the dragonfly remembered the promise. Without thinking, the dragonfly darted down.

Suddenly he hit the surface of the water and bounced away. Now that he was a dragonfly, he could no longer go into the water...

"I can't return!" he said in dismay. "At least I tried. But I can't keep my promise. Even if I could go back, not one of the water bugs would know me in my new body. I guess I'll just have to wait until they become dragonflies too.

Then they'll understand what has happened to me, and where I went."

And the dragonfly winged off happily into its wonderful new world of sun and air...

This was read at my colleague's daughter's funeral last fall when she tragically died in the Chicago train crash. I thought it might help also:

There is a story told of two men, one old, one young. One day, the young man was showing people how absolutely beautiful and perfect his heart was. And it was as beautiful and perfect as the day he was born.

When the old man happened by this young one, he shook his head. “Oh, young one, you believe your heart is perfect, but have you loved? Have you been loved?”

As the young man contemplated this, the old man removed his own heart to show those who were gathered. His heart was gnarly. There were huge chunks missing, pieces sewn in haphazardly, little pieces/big pieces all together in one big lump of a heart.

“You see, young man, all of the pieces that are missing are pieces that I gave to people when I loved them. The bigger the piece, the bigger the love.”

“The same goes for the pieces sown in; those are from people who have loved me.”

“Thus, my heart is greater than yours, because I have loved.”

The young man fell to his feet, tearing a chunk from his heart, pleading with the old man to take it. The old man took a chunk from his own heart to give the boy. Thus, a friendship was born.

I think of Pam with a huge heart from all the people she touched & every one of us has pieces of hers in ours! :-)

To Pam's family

My deepest sympathy to you all. I am so very sorry.  I never met Pam in the flesh but I felt that I knew her and it was an honour to share part of her life with her. I shall miss her words of wisdom, her humour and her huge integrity.  She certainly achieved her goal of touching someone in her llife, she touched me with all of those.   I would like to send something and I wondered whether you would prefer flowers or a donation to her charity?
I will be thinking of you all and praying for you.
A few weeks ago I sent her this poem which was written for Violette Tzabo one of the bravest women in the last century who fought in the french resistence.  It was written by her husband. It is one which makes me think of Pam and I would leave it on her journal for her.

The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours

The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours

A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause

For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours
and yours

Pam I will miss you.  Rest in peace and without pain and in the knowledge that you were loved and appreciated by so many people.

A final end (Goodbye)
How do you say good bye to someone you love?
How do you make such a decision in the first place?
Life makes it for us
Reason and emotion don’t go hand in hand
But our hands
Fit nicely together
Until life told us otherwise
Goodbye
Is such a cruel sounding word
Like death
It plagues the mind of the living
And the heart that is used to giving love
But goodbye
Sometimes
Is not a final end
But the beginning of a new chapter
And the creation of a fond memory
Which will keep our heart company forever
Goodbye my friend
I love you
God Bless your soul.

It took me all day to come here.....denial was a much easier place to be. There aren't enough words to express what Pam meant to me......she inspired me every single day. All during her battle, Pam continued to send me encouraging notes and cards to support my weight loss efforts.....she was the most selfless person I have ever known. I was lucky to have her as my friend and will miss her daily wit and wisdom. The last time I heard from her she talked about the word "Hope" and never giving up. She gave me this quote by Brendan Gill " If the hour happens to be later than we may have wished, take heart....so much more to cherished is the bloom."  I will treasure this last advice from you Pam and will honor your life and your memory by not giving up. Thank you for all you were to me and everyone's life you ever touched. I love you pal......

Do not stand at my grave and weep

When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

"...and then one or other dies.  And we think of this as love cut short; like a dance stopped in mid career or a flower with it's head unluckily snapped off - something truncated and therefore, lacking its due shape.  I wonder. If, as I can't help suspecting, the dead also feel the pains of separation (and this may be one of their purgatorial sufferings), then for [all of us] without exception, bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love....It is not the a truncation of the process but one of its phases; not the interruption of the dance, but the next figure.  We are "taken out of ourselves" by the loved one while she is here.  Then comes the tragic figure of the dance in which we much learn to be still taken out of ourselves though the bodily presence is withdrawn, to love the very Her, and not fall back to loving the past, or our  memories, or our sorrow, or our relief from sorrow, or our own love."  ~c.s. lewis

People often look upon "internet friends" as somehow less special, but I know that you and I and the many other wonderful people who were touched by your life know differently.

My darling Pamela.

I cannot believe you are gone from this earth. I imagined with my entire heart that you would beat this. It's not fair really, it's not fair at all....

You were one of my first journaling pals...

and I will never forget you.

Ever.

You dont need to meet someone such as yourself in person to see and feel the kind of person one is. Right down to the last moments you were strong, beautiful and literally radiated off the screen and into each one of our lives.

How can one ever be the same after meeting you?

You touched me.

You touched many.

And girl, if there is anything I know for sure... it's that you are at peace and probably blogging up in heaven about your earthly life and planting corn admist the clouds...

Yeah.

I think thats how I will picture you... forever.

I miss you already.
