Coastinmiller Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 My wife!!!! On June 17 at 5:15am my wife had a massive seizure, MRI and Catscans revealed a 60-65mm growth in her frontal lobe. Upon closer inspections of the MRI, 2 additional growths were found; a 6mm on her parietal lobe and a 4mm on the boundary of her parietal and frontal lobes but on different planes. She had endured an 11.5 hour surgery on Friday June 22 and has recovered from that with NO cognitive deficiencies. Pathology has been received back and we are happy to hear it was a benign meningioma more than likely due to her past childhood history of leukemia. Now it's a waiting game to see if the other 2 growths grow or not, but treatment is yet to be determine due to the childhood leukemia's treatment of radiation. She may be passed her threshold of cranial radiation, so it may not be an option. Even though a lot of things went wrong, things lined up just right for everthing to come out with her having no complitcations. Heck, i wasn't even going t be home since I was out with my 6 year old coastering in CT and was about to head to MA, but decided against it last minute and got home that night around 10:30. truly blessed to still have her here with us. Surgeon said he walked a fine line with a major artery above the tumor and a vein below it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 It's really cool to know, that our Pride Week, ends around the early part of August, then segues into our Queer Film Festival... which then dovetails our annual PNE!

Nrthwnd Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Happy and a bit freeked out. I just put a room on reserve, Knott's Berry Farm Hotel, for our visit..... in September 2019! Yeah, yeah early too early. The next big step is getting the train down and back, which is what we planned to do. And once that's done, it's just a bit more planning and "what tickets to buy", etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I the Broadway actress, Laura Benanti. Gorgeous singing voice (revivals of Nine and She Loves Me), extremely FUNNY, and now she has the President's Wife to put her mark on it (See: Stephen Colbert). I would kill to see her perform live...anywhere! Doing/singing anything! I really do love this actor. Great LIVE cd recording! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Postby Nrthwnd » Mon Aug 20, 2018 1:55 pm...in the Rant Thread: Our cat caught a baby mouse, I got it away from her, but the only thing I/we can do right now, is keep it safe from Stella, and let it pass away in peace. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * EDIT!!! Mousie's still alive!!! I got some soy milk powder to whip up a bit of nourishment for it, and hope it gets better from today, on. Then, hopefully, when it's strong enough etc. we'll release it far away from Stella's....nose/eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 ^As much as I love cats, they are absolutely brutal when it comes to playing with/torturing small animals. I remember one of my parents cats catching a live mouse, she carried it out to the middle of the lawn so that there would be no bushes nearby the mouse could hide in, and then she played with it by repeatedly throwing it a good 5-7 feet in the air multiple times. That mouse was in for one hell of a ride before the cat finally decided to kill it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 ^ I agree. And it's time now, as Stella somehow managed to open the closed door of the room we had the little guy in, and get it and take it outside and....... I dread what happened after that. But it's gone and there's nothing we could do about it. Since this is Happiness Pie, we only hope mousie got to a better place in it's little short life.

Nrthwnd Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 In the last few weeks, our cat Stella has started to respond to the word "TUNA", if I call it out, to get her inside for a treat. And she knows exactly what it means too, LOL! Whatta cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Oh that's funny. I've never had a cat that would eat tuna, not sure why really. My youngest cat Claudia absolutely loves green beans from one of those frozen steam in the microwave bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 YAY! I finally reached my Challenge Goal of 65 rides on Coaster at Playland, today! Originally, and after I turned 65 at the end of March, I thought about marathoning Coaster for 65 times in one day...HAH! Not likely, I found out... For one thing, Coaster was still down for maintenance when the Season started, back in May. And it didn't get up and running until the end of June. So I had to re-think this little Challenge of mine. So, I decided just to try and ride Coaster 65 times before the 2018 Season ended. Which was today. I had 6 rides left, two of which I could get at whichever Fright Night I attended, in October. But that was sort of "Past The Season." So today was the day to get'em all done, and include the Fright Night rides (probably 2), eventually. Not to worry today! As wet as it was, a lot of people showed up, knowing it was Closing Day, so no problem in re-filling the train each round. Hardly a wait to get 12 minimum in the coaster seats (their rules), compared to the weekend before. Anyway, the Challenge was SUCCESSFUL, and I get to add a couple more in October. YAY! The red train was running, today. My fave colour of the three trains, too! (o: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
