I know it may not feel like it, but you are most certainly NOT alone in this. Whatever happens, this family will be there for you to stand by your side and hold you up. An APB has been put out for you (a mass prayer to gods, goddesses, saints, angels, ancestors, spirit guides and anyone who's listening on any frequency). Praying like crazy for that negative result while sending lots of love and white light your way to give you the strength to get through this. Big hugs from me, purrs from Squasha and unconditional love and support from both of us.

Lainey you have my prayers. I don't know if you saw but two weeks ago, I was pretty much in the panic you are in. For me, I had to go in for tests to see if my maculas have started degenerating. That first day after finding out it was a possibility I was a mess. The good folks here and my wonderful family and firends prayed me into a better state of mind. My diagnosis was that there are deposits on my macula affecting my vision, but no degeneration yet. In your post, you say life altering, not life threatening. Without knowing what it is that you are facing, I can only pray that first and foremost that you get a negative report. Secondly that if it is positive that you are able to face the changes that will have to come about in your life. If it is a positive, rely on the strength of the people here and see if there is a support group for it in or near your community or find an on-line community that can help you manage the life changes that will need to be made. (((Lainey))) You can face anything that comes your way with strength and Grace. I know you can. You are stronger than you know.

Hi everyone. I'm home now. Work is strange. I can check my email but not really supposed to be on a website like this during the day (they are cracking down) so I try and sneak on occassionally, when the boss is in a meeting or off or early in the AM before the bosses arrive. We are allowed to "periodically" check our home emails, so I just leave aol up and watch the tab as it will tell me how many emails I have and then I jump over and check my mail!
I'm doing a little better. The prayers and support have been awesome and I know it's carrying me right now. I've also done some research and will do more on WebMD as that seems to be a very good site with good info and no bias and no hysteria.
I'm beginning to think I can live with getting a diagnosis (not that I'd be happy about it) but I can't live without my honey. That is what is hurting me now, the thought that he may not stay. He's being very supportive and wants me to educate myself as much as possible "in case" it is this illness. My life will go on but I don't want to go on without him. Yes, I know, no man, no person is worth that. I know all the logical stuff. Unforunately my heart rules everything.
Lastly, dear family, my daddy is not doing well. He cannot get out of bed to do physical therapy. Last weekend he said he wanted a pass to go home and watch the Ravens game on Sunday. Now all he does is shake his head no. He looks and sounds like he is about to cry. My heart is breaking over this. I'm the closest to my dad and I when I see him later today I wil ask him outright if he wants to give up or keep trying. If he wants to give up I will get him home. Please pray for my dad and for me and my siblings.
I hope that someday I will be able to be as much as a comfort and support to you as you have been to me. I'm sorry to be such a taker right now. I love you all.

Lainey, all I can suggest is to give your Honey a chance to prove himself. It sounds like he is trying to be supportive and that is great. He may turn out to be much stronger and more supportive than you think.
As for dad, I feel so bad for both of you. As much as you want him with you, it sounds like he may be making the decision to leave. I think you are right to sit down with him and ask him what he really wants.
Continued prayers are with you all.

Lainey, please ask your father's physician to write a referral to hospice. Let them come in and help your father - and you.
Hugs!

Depending on his state of mind later when I see him, I will broach that with him. That idea has been percolating in my mind but my heart wouldn't let me admit it.
I'm going to lay down now. The last 24-48 hours have taken their toll on me. I'll check in later my friends.

Lainey, we are all here for you, no matter what happens. Please give your honey credit that he will stand by you--that is what true love is. Don't assume the worst--that will only make it harder for you to accept whatever the test shows. ***PRAYS FOR NEGATIVE***

Cheri, you are so kind! That is an awesome book. What an uplifting thing to do. I must say Lainey that you might be surprised at your honey if you give him a chance. As for your dad, I think he just needs you. Maybe he wants to hear you say that you support his choice whatever it is (even though it might be painful for you to hear). You are a wonderful person and I think much stronger than you think. Still praying, sending hugs and purrs

Lainey you are in my prayers. I agree with the others-you may be surprised by the strength of your honey--often the thing we fear is never going to happen. As far as your diagnosis, you will be able to handle it, no matter what. You have the power of TDK with you, and I know from experience what an awesome power that is!.
