Hope you feel better Crazyheart! You surely are the "heart" of WonderCafe and will be missed until you return!

Peace,

Aaron

Hugs and Kisses Crazyheart. I sure do love you and the value that your presence on Wondercafe brings to me and other people in this community.

.

Get well soon!!

Grace and peace to you.

For WC's cheerleader,

"tell them to pray for those who need their prayers more."  ... hmmmmm

Let me tell you that when you're getting something cut out of you and waiting to hear whether its cancer or whether they "got all of it" or some similar thing, then you are deserving enough ... and even if you're not sure about the "efficacy of prayer" it sure is nice to feel the positive energy that comes with knowing that people are praying for you ... (and they're not even related) ... its kind of a shock, but a pleasant shock and it definitely has a positive effect ... at least it did for me

so I'm saying my prayers for crazyheart tonight ... if not now, when?

Get well soon, Crazyheart!

Hi Crazyheart - thought this little poem kind of describes how we feel about you.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Get well soon!

When You're Not Here

When you are ill,
our sun goes under a cloud.
Your presence in our lives
is such a bright joy
that everything seems in shadow
when you're not here.
When you aren't feeling well,
we feel the lack
of your glowing energy
and contagious vitality.
When you are sick
we feel incomplete,
like a jigsaw puzzle
with a missing piece;
Please rest,
take good care of yourself,
and feel better.
We miss you
and want you back.

Get well soon.

By Joanna Fuchs

Crazyheart, I am counting the days until you return to WonderCafe.

You do know why
they design hospital gowns
that way, don't you?
To make your stay
more bare-able.

Get Well Soon

Best wishes, Crazyheart, get well soon!

We are not alone, thanks be to God!

Crazyheart, I am thinking of you and am sending you prayers. Even if the prognosis is good, this is still a scary endeavour for you. I hope all goes well, and that you are back at it in no time.

Well, I tried to make the image a bit smaller.......the way I know no longer works for me.....

Yes, I tend to listen to Crazyheart about most things, but I'm with qwerty on this one......

A woman is like a teabag.

It's only when she's in hot water do you realise how strong she is.

I will pray all goes well for you Crazyheart. It certainly is quiet around here without you.

In UU services, we light candles for those things which are a joy or a concern to us. I'm not going to church these days, but I'll light a candle in my heart for you, CH, and say a prayer or two.

Crazyheart,

You are a wonderful light in this crazy place! I value your curiousity - and how it leads to more and more thread creations. I pray that the surgery goes well and that you are back here again quickly!

Here's something to brighten your day:

Get well soon my friend!

Crazyheart, I'm praying that everything goes well!  Make sure those nurses give you something to give you some awesome dreams (perhaps with the roofer?) 

Well, because that's not something that should be there, I completely agree with CH's decision to get it out of there, and wish her the best possible recovery.

Good riddance to that lump of whatever .... and wishes for a speedy recovery.   I imagine it will be speedy, because I can't imagine CrazyHeart doing anything slowly! Thoughts & prayers are with you CH. 

I'm imaging Her chatting people up and making friends, perhaps even naming and befriending the lump.

Amen amen to all the prayers - we all need them and sometimes we need them more - a prayer for CH.

Hugs CH!  Thoughts and prayers are with you.

CH,....now....you need to let us do what we need to do...whether it be sending prayers, or worrying about you.  You have to know you cannot stop a WC thread once it gets going....

Take care of yourself...not sure how fast you will be typing once you get out, but hoping your scrolling is easily done, so you can read this thread.

Prayers, light, good wishes.....are all sent your way by this community.

you matter to us....I miss you and hope all goes well.

I've just heard from Crazyheart - who's just come home from hospital.

In her own words, she is feeling "loopy" still from the medication etc - but she says to thank you all for your kind words and she'll reply when she can.

Her doctor said everything went well - and she has to wait and see if her lymph nodes are free - and then they will advise her about further treatment.

Writing is difficult for her, as at the moment she can only write with her left hand...

It was great to hear from her so soon - and there will be an extra spring in my step today.

Great to hear the surgery went well, Crazyheart! Hope to see you back here soon. We miss your presence and your wonderful thread topics!

Hugs,

Kimmio

Wishing you all the best Crazyheart as you recover from your surgery.  Thinking of you. 

TL

ahem

crazyheart loopy?

never.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and that it is good news on the lymph nodes CH. We hope to see you back here soon but take care of yourself!

Thank you Pilgrim for keeping us up to date.

Hey, crazee! I'm thinking of you and hoping that you're feeling a bit better today. Sending you light and prayers in the hopes of the best prognosis possible... 

Loopy?  I think that is also known as "out of it" or "feeling like crap".  That, with the clarity of hindsight, is the way I would describe now what I felt like when I had my operation, although at the time I think I just said something like "I'm fine" or "I feel loopy".  Of course it wasn't the same operation that CH had but it was the same basic premise ... namely, removing stuff.  It is mostly unpleasant this "loopiness" but it is also a period when you see just how resilient you actually are;  how, strangely, you are able to experience something you couldn't really have imagined a month before and take it more or less in stride and deal with it as it comes so that when someone asks you how you feel you are able to summarize it by saying something with some fun in it like "I feel loopy".  When you hear someone say something like that it is an optimistic sign given by an optimistic person.  Loopy is good.  It leaves room for improvement but overall its pretty good.  It means you're tougher than you thought you might be.

Hang in there CH.  

Understood, qwerty...my post was a poor attempt at humour.

CH, there is a depth of care shown on this site for you...our wonderful frequent poster, and woman with a sense of humour...

may you be well, and sleep well this evening.

Oh, where have I been?  Nowhere as important as this *waiting room*....

Loopy is good.  Cancer-free would be ideal.  Blessings & love to my pal Crazyheart, certainly the Heart of the cafe.  Close your eyes, friend, imagine a big ((((hug))) from a good friend.... feel it?  that's me 

And if you're loopy enough, you can maybe believe I'm right there with ya too!!  lol

Thanks Pilgrims Process!

Great news Crazyheart, hope you have a speedy recovery. 

Thanks Pilgrims.

Birthstone ... Pilgrims Process?  Isn't that that famous work by Paul Bunyan? You know ... the guy with the blue Ox ... what was its name?  Gabe? 

I'm thinking about you a lot right now crazyheart. I hope you know how much you are cared for and appreciated here. Sending lots of warmth, care and support your way through this difficult time of  healing and waiting. Soft thoughts and hugs.

Oh and my wise words crazyheart  .... stay away from the roofer for a few days!

Thanks to Pilgrims for providing a space to offer our thoughts and prayers.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and the best results crazy heart!

Ironic isn't it that the news of our Sask. friend comes via Down under!\

aaand we can pray for you if we want to! Don't be too bossy-take time for you  these days. Do things that bring you pleasure!

Ah, but we both know the Roofer!

Besides, what's the best location for developing a sense of humour  - if it isn't the Saskatchewan prairies or the Aussie bush?

After hearing from Crazy this morning - I attended my exercise class - and managed to do amazing things for my pelvic floor........... (well, one of us has to keep the Roofer entertained.)

qwerty, Birthstone usually calls me Pilgrims Process.

Which is a coincidence when you consider that it's only since being with Wondercafe that I've developed an interest in Process Theology.

A coincidence is God wearing sunglasses and a beard.

Praying that the news continues to be good, and that crazyheart is back with us before we know it.

I wish wondermail had a small e-card component. I like sending get-well cards. Makes me feel like I'm 'doing' something to help.

And it's funny how the world has gotten so much smaller. When my guy's concerned about me  and thinks I need a yack with one of my closest spiritual advisers, he calls her...in Delaware.

I'm just reading this now.  So sorry to hear that this complication has arisen in your life Crazyheart, and wishing you a speedy recovery & good news when the results come in.  This waiting time is tough, but I'm confident that you will find entertaining ways to pass the time.  No doubt you are keeping Mr. Crazyheart on his toes!!!

You, my friend, are a precious gem.  You have wonderful gifts of keeping discussions going, laughter flowing and friendships growing.  You are loved, and will be missed while you are recuperating.  Get well soon, and please let us know how we can help and support you through this journey.

I'm also just reading this now! 

Thinking of you with much care and concern, Crazyheart, as you go through this time of recovery and uncertainty in waiting.  Also wishing you a speedy recovery and good healing - trusting the results and you into God's hands.

Take very good care of yourself and allow others to be the caregiver in the days ahead.  I'm sure you've toted and fetched for all those in your life over the years - now allow them to do the same for you :)

Keep us posted (through PP or by yourself when you can) as to how you are doing.

Hope, peace, joy, love . . .

"A coincidence is God wearing sunglasses and a beard."
I think I met one of those this summer.....

OK, Pilgrims - what is this new "pelvic floor" you refer to? Is it a type of tile, or wood, is it specific to Aussieland, can we get it shipped overseas to Canuckland...?

Meanwhile CH - hope you are resting and feeling better soon.
My sister had a radical mastectomy 2 years ago and is doing well.
Didn't need follow-up treatment other than a pill a week.

I hope your test results are negative. Take care!

Thinking of you this morning CH, Hope you're feeling as well today as you were yesterday if not better!

(((((gentle healing hug))))))

Gecko, gotta say, you've been hanging out with those whales too  long, possum!

Here is my poor attempt to copy and paste info to enlighten you - next time you go bouncing across the oceans in a "rubber ducky" on whale patrol - you will no doubt appreciate the value of pelvic floor exercises.

It's times like this I really miss Crazyheart, betcha she knows everything there is to know about her pelvic floor.

Hope you're resting quietly at home Crazyheart.

God is with you - as is your family and friends.

(BTW, the Social forum is definately lacking your presence).

This will just be a short note to thank you all for the kind messages. And of course you must know that I have lots of loopy stories. I kept my family entertained  after taking morphine and finally  I seem back in the world of the living.

CrazyDad and Family have been wonderful  and the doctor assures me that the computer is good exercise so we talk again soon.

Thank you, Virtual Family.

D'y'know the Nobel Prizes?  Well an organization called Improbable Research gives out Ig Nobel Prizes that make people laugh, and then make them think.

Here is one that shows the importance of the pelvic floor amongst a heterosexual couple.  The quirky MRI scan starts at 1:38.

Yuck. Inanna!

Do you want me to bring up my breakfast???

Crazyheart, so good to see you up and about.

Crazyheart on morphine, telling loopy stories - I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall!

(metaphorically, I'm sure Canadian hospitals are fly free.)
