I see myself either rushing or drifting through life, and it can be such a waste. Thank you for reminding me to treasure those moments with my children, not just wait for bedtime!<br /><br />I hope the feeding tube will bring you new strength and the sense of hope will be stronger than the exhaustion. xxLydianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2720339929351469448.post-3361240047342152112012-01-10T06:53:21.898-05:002012-01-10T06:53:21.898-05:00Love you, Ellie.

I suspect though that if you are losing weight so fast that you really ARE in need of more food, and so when the tube goes in I hope that you feel better and have more energy.<br /><br />In our program we say one day at a time, and I think that is how you are living your life now. But in the program there is never an end, and it sounds like you are approaching the 1/3 point, and soon it will end and you can begin to recover the old energy and zest for life. Something to look forward to, isn&#39;t it.<br /><br />You do not have to be strong for me. You can complain, fuss, cry, bitch .. whatever. If that helps you get through a day it is a good thing to do. Of course I suggest setting an alarm clock to tell you when to stop and get back to enjoying what you have.<br /><br />Feel free to post me any time you need to or want to. I care.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />Mike LMike Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10564978477473222488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2720339929351469448.post-86246782808973567962012-01-08T20:37:07.729-05:002012-01-08T20:37:07.729-05:00Lucky cancer -- wow, what a way kids have of looking at and saying things.
