Re: Life's Little Surprises!
The Ryusui,
I am in full agreement with you....let this be the end of it. It has only been a few short weeks and I am already bored with playing cancer patient. What can I say, I always have had a short attention span. 
Cotton,
You have nothing to feel bad about. I just appreciate you taking the time now to wish me well. When I go into surgery I will know that all of you are thinking about me and that is the best feeling in the world.  I have derived a great deal of strength from the people on this board and for that I will forever be grateful.
Because I am such a spoiled rotten brat I have made out like a bandit because of my biopsy and illnesses. Just in the past month I have been gotten the Bouncy Castle, The Village Show Hook a Duck Stall, the Village Show Marquee, The Mill On The Hill, the Baby Fairground Train Playhouse, the Baby Fairground Teacup Ride, the Baby Fairground Ferris Wheel, the Pony and Caravan Set, the Summer Wildflower Rabbit Sister Figure, The Pettyfur Guinea Pig Family and their two babies, and the Hazelnut Dormouse Mice Family and their twins and baby. Oh, and my husband bought me the Celebration 7 Figure Wildwood Rabbit Family.  I honestly can't wait until I am better so that I can play with all my new toys.
Julia

Re: Life's Little Surprises!
Cotton,
Like you, I am hoping that I will be feeling well enough soon to really enjoy all my Sylvanian Families and Calico Critters items that I have purchased or received over the past 2 years. Since my surgery for the cyst my days have basically been spent in a drugged state sitting in bed. Unfortunately because of where the surgical site is, every time I move it starts to burn and throb. Needless to say, I have had no choice but to take my pain medication.
To be honest, I feel guilty about the money my family has been spending on me. However, getting them to stop is not possible. Adult children can be real pains in the hindparts when they want to be. Quotes: "We appreciate what you are saying Mom, but we are adults and can spend our money on whatever we like." "But Mom, your babies need the Bouncy Castle." " You can't expect all your families to live in just one house." End Quotes: You get the picture. I have given up trying to prevent them from buying me items for my collection. Seriously, they are so good to me and I am so very lucky to have such wonderful children. 
Julia

Re: Life's Little Surprises!
Wow, this is what happens when you become a lurker and hardly ever bother with General Chat because it doesn't have sylvanian news...you miss the big stuff.
So sorry to hear about this Julia. I wish you all the luck in the world with the operation next week. I'm so glad you are taking it all in your stride and not letting it get you down. I meet so many people in my line of work who are suffering, have survived or didn't make it (some of my very close neighbours and family included) and I very rarely see someone without a positive outlook. I'm sure it would be all too easy for people to sit down and sulk about how unfair it is...but you need to grab this thing by the horns, look it in the eye and tell it where to go.
I'm glad you're increasing the size of your collection at a great pace too, giving you even more to look forward to after you recover from the operation...you get to play with new stuff!
Chel

Re: Life's Little Surprises!
Hi Chel,
I can honestly say that I am getting a bit antsy to get this surgery done and over with. The waiting has been the hardest part of it all. I think my biggest fear, although completely unfounded, is that the longer it takes to remove the cancerous tissue the greater chance it has to spread to the surrounding areas. I have been having my husband check continuously to see if the tumor has grown at all. So far, there have been no changes whatsoever. Which truthfully is something I already knew before he looked. Like I said, a completely unfounded fear on my part.
I have tried to keep as upbeat an attitude as humanly possible about all of this and really have seen no reason to be upset about any of it. Things happen and when they do, you deal with it. I think a lot of people when they hear the word Cancer automatically assume the worse. However, it seems to be the people who don't have Cancer that think this way. Fortunately for me, my friends and family haven't tried to put me six feet under because of my diagnosis. LOL
I definitely have a lot of new things to play with once I have recovered. My daughter just bought me the new UK Beautician's Set, the Make-up Table and a JP 108 Piece Puzzle that comes with a Rare Figure, today.
Anyway, thank-you for taking the time to read and respond to my post. I really appreciate it.
Julia

I just LOVE THAT . . . I am going to steal it. Still holding you in loving arms and keeping you in my prayers.
Coincidentally my partner Ron is having a hernia operation next week so I will be very present to your recovery Julia!
I am arranging a climbing rope with knots in it tied to the end of the bed. That way he can pull himself up out of bed more easily. I just know he is going to want to be a BIG BABY about it and milk it for all it is worth. He will have me waiting on him hand and foot! I recommend you do the same. I mean when else are you going to get the opportunity!!!
Tee hee!

Re: Life's Little Surprises!
Sue,
Take it from one who knows....your partner is going to be in an extreme amount of pain after his surgery. My husband went through the same procedure quite a few years back and he said it was the most painful thing he had ever experienced. Lenny is by no means a wimpy man but it knocked him for a loop. He actually slept in his recliner because it was too difficult and painful to get up out of bed to go to the restroom. I would actually suggest you get Ron a urinal jug to use for the first few days. Also, if he has a recliner it really would be the best place for him. I'm afraid trying to pull himself up out of bed would cause excruciating pain because of where the surgical site is going to be located. Please let him know that I will have him in my thoughts and prayers and that I hope his surgery goes well.
My husband and daughter have been waiting on me hand and foot since my surgery two weeks ago and will be doing it even longer because of my surgery on Tuesday. However, they have been nothing but wonderful to me the entire time. I just want to hurry up and get better so that I can start getting out of bed to do more than use the restroom or take a shower. I am not only bored but really tired of sitting around and doing nothing. 
Julia

Re: Life's Little Surprises!
Beverly,
I had my surgery last Tuesday, June 23. When I awoke, I not only found that I was missing all my pubic hair, but approximately 95% of my left vaginal lip. I seriously considered putting out an all points bulletin to get help in finding what had been taken, but decided against it.
Seriously though, I have been having a pretty rough time over the past week. As time has passed I have been experiencing more and more pain. The surgical sites are extremely swollen and have been bleeding. The pain medication I am taking has helped some with the pain, but seems to be wearing off quicker and quicker as time passes. My husband made a discovery yesterday that I am hoping is nothing, but it seems that I now have a small white streak on the edge of my right vaginal lip. Thankfully, I have an appointment Wednesday with my Oncologist. I didn't think that this was going to be easy in any way, but I also wasn't expecting to be feeling worse as time progressed.
Julia
