((((((Nik))))))) I am soooo sorry to hear about your grandmother. That is just so hard to deal with.
In many ways it reminds me of my grandmother's death last year, except her leukemia was advanced and basically terminal as her doctor would not recommend chemo/radiation because of her age. My grandmother also refused treatment.
I'm thinking about you, let me know if there's anything I can do.

wow, I will pray for you grandmother. It is sad to see someone wanting death rather than life, because they are so sick or sad or whatever.
I'll email that to stuff to you.
Glad to hear your doing a little better. And let me tell you, my juice tastes WAY better than that vinegar! I can't believe your used to it already!

Yes, it is really sad. Especially because I truly think she's been clinically depressed for a very long time (runs in our family big time). She could have enjoyed her life so much more if she had been willing to get help, but she instead felt it was normal to be sad and hopeless all the time.
I don't know how to explain this exactly.. in some ways I am glad that she (sort of) has a "choice" now. If she has the minor surgery she will be way more comfortable, feel a lot better, and hopefully live quite a bit longer (her other problems are relatively minor). If not.. as sad as it is to think this, she can choose to die within the next few months. I hope the anti-depressants kick in so she can make that choice from a better frame of mind.
ST - I have no doubt the juice is better than vinegar!
Hope everyone's doing well. I still have almost no voice. Every so often I freak myself out because I'm trying to talk and nothing's really coming out - then all of a sudden one word or part of a word will be really loud. I guess that's progress! The flu/bug feels mostly gone - hopefully by the weekend I'll be somewhat back to normal. H has a race this weekend but I'm still iffy on going. I'd like to go but feel guilty with my grandma being sick. I don't think I'll be far enough past this bug to visit though (want to make sure I'm totally healthy and not going to pass anything on to her). It's only about 90 minutes away so I'll probably take the chance.

ya, definitely don't want to pass that bug on to her. I think you can be contagious for up to 2 wks. I can't remember, thought I read that in a doc office once.
Glad to hear your feeling better though! the flu is no fun at all.

NikB, just caught up on your thread (this one at least )! Very sorry to hear about your grandmother and that you're not doing so well either. (((Hoping you both feel better soon!)))

((((Nikki)))) I just got caught up--lost your thread for a bit. Glad that you had a killer time with Bruce! If you do come to NJ for a show, you better visit with me (only an hour away). Sorry about the cold. Reminded me of some of the worse health I had, back at the bomb and 9 months out from that (including pink eye that made the doctor say Yuck!) Hope that your voice comes back soon--whispering is supposed to be worse than talking softly. And your grandmother....poor thing. My mom was like that for more years than I can recount. I will be keeping her in my thoughts.
Just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you, my dear friend.
