Good night Catherine. I'm a bit in my cups.
But I am thinking of you tonight.
I wish I was there to snuggle with you.
Not a sexual thing. Just a love thing.
Good night sweet thing.

Elle... you seriously rock for pulling together to solve the challenging logistics just to get there. I tried looking at booking options again yesterday to get to Albany (or NYC airports + rental car) right after I got home from CO, but unfortunately I couldn't come up with anything that I could even come close to affording, either with cash and/or airline miles.

If the opportunity comes, please give Catherine a big (but light) hug from me.

Big kudos to Sol, Chris & Dan as well, obviously! Please share my thoughts with all of them.

Safe home you two.
Sol, if she would do that to a man as old as you claim to be, she's obviously feeling somewhat better

Good morning, Catherine. I'm glad to hear you had a great visit with those two rabble-routers. I can just imagine you guys laughing and keeping everyone awake with little outbursts followed by Shhh! LOL

Great image with which to start the day.

Interesting day at work today. At our department's quarterly safety meeting, our guest speaker was an exercise instructor and wellness guru who is also a survivor of late-stage colon cancer. This is a woman whose husband had been told to get her affairs in order. Yet she is very much alive, looking and feeling great. Just goes to show... don't give up!

Late night bump and good vibes from Florida for Catherine and Dan.

Good day, Catherine.

I got out the guitar and sang, "Dante's Prayer" for you last night. I haven't played guitar or sang since New Years Eve.

Kerry said it sounded great and that, to her, it spoke of, "I'm still here," when the song says, "Please remember me," at the end.

I spent some time remembering you, that you are still here.

Morning Catherine hope your day went smoothly - it must be garage time of year, somones doin' it in the other thread & lydia has promised a solution to what I call our "shandlery downstairs" so we can get both cars back in!!! I have offered that if he doesn't get time I'll do it so he should be thru there like a water spout in fear of my label maker!

[Don'tCallMeJudge]

Catherine,
I met up this afternoon in Minneapolis with Kestrel219 (Miss January of the 2012 SA calendar) and we are both sending some extra positive energy and good vibes your way!
Keep smilin' darlin'



(and a big ditto to Jelly's comment, Ozee!- that rocks!)

[Bowgirl]

Hanging with Catherine, kmccabe, Rockhead, The Pebble, and The Rockette and Catherine's sister and father.

We've had a great day and the room is decorated, and Catherine got dressed up as evidenced by photo evidence below.

Much laughter and merriment.

Catherine says "There are days when I have 2 bad hours, but it used to be I'd have only 2 good hours. That change alone makes such a difference, especially when coupled with the uplifting support from you guys."

Message from Catherine's sister for all SAers considering a visit :

Please tell folks that if they are on the fence about coming for a visit, they should get over it and come. I know it feels awkward to just show up, and chances are good that visitors will see her experiencing some intense pain at times, but the joy that she gets out of it far outweighs the discomfort that any of us could possibly feel.

Tell people to be ready to hang out in the day room if she's in a rough place when they show up, because things usually smooth out within about a half hour or so, which is how long it can take for pain medication to kick in.

If you've ever spent even a little time with Catherine, you know that she does not stay in one place for very long. The fact that she has become almost immobile from this horrible disease might be one of the hardest emotional hurdles. She wants to go and do and be...and that's just really hard right now. Tell people to bring their lives to her and spend a couple hours if they can. No need to call or message ahead of time. Just show up. Really.
 

Really.

[Bowgirl]

...

Catherine says to SAers "There are days when I have 2 bad hours, but it used to be I'd have only 2 good hours. That change alone makes such a difference, especially when coupled with the uplifting support from you guys."

I just reread it and it wasn't clear enough that that message is to all of you.

+1. This is essentially what the Pebble, Rockette and I did today. Hung out for about 3 hours or so. 4 hours later, I still have a warm glow inside. Catherine is just fucking awesome. Full of fight and good humor. You are an incredibly strong person with a huge heart Catherine, I'm SO glad we were able to come for a visit! It was humbling to hang out with 3 awesome women (MSG, Bowgirl & MSSister). KMcCabe and I are just typical boring guys.

Maybe I'm just sappy, or maybe it's because there were 4 Anarchists and 2 mini-Anarchists in the room, but I really felt that the love and support from everyone here is palpable in Catherine's room. The quilt is even more amazing in person, there's the SA burgee hanging from the IV tower, there's the Women of SA calendar signed by so many of us. You can feel the good vibes in the room.

Here's one more photo, the Pebble, Catherine, and the Rockette (L to R). Thanks to MainSheetSister for fucking up C's hair just for the photo! Yup, they're a lot alike, the 2 sisters.



I'm looking forward to heading back in a couple of weeks after some sailing trips. I have to go back because I didn't get to meet Dan the Man. And we're going to throw a kick-ass SA 43rd birthday party for Catherine in July, right C? If you're still stuck in the same joint (I hope not!), there's a great room for it, and I'm sure we can get ourselves thrown out.

Love Ya!

[cad99uk]

Hi Catherine, it is a lovely crisp sunny day here in the south west UK. I had to go to Bath to pick up my youngest son at the end of his university term. I had some great tunes playing and was sending you positive, warm sunny thoughts on the drive over.

I am so pleased that you have so much support from the SA community and feel priveleged to be represented on your lovely quilt (Thanks Ozee).

I hope you and Dan have a good day.

hello,
I've never been on a sail boat but I am an avid SWIMMER. I've been admiring the vitality of your forum community [aka lurking]. I'm an old capitol region friend of Catherine's. I always knew she was an awesome person. My estimation has grown exponentially.

I was in the room yesterday when Rockette and the Pebble brought their mood elevating magic to the room. Catherine was smiling wide immediately and I know that there hadn't been enough time for the meds to kick in. Magic.

Thanks for letting me hang out and experience a few of your soaring spirits. PEACE

[RockHead]

Might have had something to do with your beautiful guitar playing Swimmer. Great to meet you and Chris!

Swimmer, your 6-string classical guitar was so calming and soothing. It really made a wonderful atmosphere complete. Thank you!

Catherine, how was the post-sugar-shock today?

[Ozee Adventure]

Morning Catherine & anyone with you,
We have a 4 day week this week for Easter yay!

Normally I would be on a 3 day race over Easter - out in Brisbane to Gladstone - watching the stars - marvelling at how light it can actually be out there & wondering what Boomberries is up to in their Southern straits race.
I LOVE it that we are out there at the same time!

This year I came back from China & lydia is all organised to go so I'll drop him off & have a few girly days with the sewing machine I think! Chick flicks & the odd BBC hysterical, chocolate for breakfast, that kind of thing hee hee!

Let us know what you lot are up to & how busy the room is! Hope you have some real smooth days xxx

He wants to go for a ride soon...

Hey Catherine, just wanted to say hi. And since I just repainted the powder room I still need to put my metal frogs from the islands back up on the wall. They remind me of you since Dan said you liked the frog stamps on the postcard.

That will have to be between you and her. All I ask is that you leave her in a good mood ;-)

BTW,I am inspired to eventually go sailing one way or another. I love the analog nature of the sport. It's not about giant engines which to me is WAY cool. Have a great day people !

CC,you're still at the top of my energy upload list. Sending green light from my heart chakra. Love you !

[dantheman]

Yes, admittedly, like my friend Will, aka swimmer, I'm not a sailor(tho I was in a sunfish once, heheh) but I do look forward to taking a ride out with those who would have me....

I want you all to know that I packed out of Catherines apt in Voorheesville. I have returned to my home in Mahopac NY to get back to work, pay my bills and also to give her family the space they need. With a little luck our dear MSG will be returning to her home soon. Her mom says they are working on making it happen this week! At that time, her sister and family and caregivers will be there and so the time had come for me to move on after being there since september. Leaving was anything but easy yet the time had come. Her family knew it before i did but was too kind to say anything since they truly are grateful for the time I spent there. Catherine also understands and knows I will be back to visit.

I'm not done here yet either so count on my 2 cents from time to time. Rockhead my brother, I too was very bummed that I didnt get to meet you and the pebble on saturday but I was so thrilled to see what an incredible day Catherine enjoyed with all of you. It was obviously priceless...

I wish all of you the best of health for you and yours! Type to you soon!
