MLK Jr day

I couldn't sleep well because of the pain last night - I had to wake Jim up at 3am. He's great - no complaints and gave me massage. I am now taking 3 kinds of pain medicine so it is not so painful anymore, thank God.
I am sad to report that the person who was hosting the website for Japanese lung cancer patients passed away yesterday. She had not been doing too well for the past few months. She had the same kind of cancer as I have. She was an inspiration to me and I'm really sad to hear the news.
I have been feeling weak in my legs (because of the bone cancer) and haven't been able to be active. I am scared that it is not getting better. I just hope I can get through this tough time - please pray for me! Thank you so much everyone.

Oh Sweetheart, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I know that she is at peace now, and I truly believe that good people move on to a better place.

I am so very, very sorry to hear that you are experiencing such pain. What are the doctors doing to address the bone cancer issue?

I know the visit from your parents will be great. They will love to see you and Kai, and I'm sure they will be a big help to Jim.

I keep you in my thoughts and prayers always sweetheart.

I can't begin to comprehend how hard this is on you but I am confident that you will get through this. If I could give you some of my strength to help you through it I would. We are here for you.

Oh dear... are there no other pain meds that the doctors can prescribe? I can only imagine what you are going through. Sorry you have to endure all of this Mizuho. Please continue to stay strong and hopeful, because I truly believe you will conquer this. Just take it one day at a time and before you know it, your parents will be here. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help, i.e. picking up your folks from the aiport, grocery shopping or babysitting Kai. You are in our prayers!!

We love you and think good and positive thoughts everyday. You and Jim know that we are here for you with anything you might need for us to do.

We are so glad your parents are here to be with you to hold and love you.

We will be glad to help them also as they may need it.

You know that we are pretty good at baby sitting and would love to have Kai with us anytime you need for him to be here.

Hugs...to you.

Jim, remember our loving arms are around you always.
