Paralyzed Or Cancer/Which Would Be Worse?

   Posted by: jude   in Senior Health

In one of my talks with my Son I asked him if anything could possibly be worse than cancer and his answer was yes being paralyzed would be worse. I’m not sure I agree, but it certainly gives me something to think about. For those of you that said prayers I’d like to say that they have helped and thank-you very much for your thoughts. We all have our good days and bad ones and I pray for all of us to have more of the good ones.

Shadow (my furry son) had a restless night because he has a hard time with pooping inside and he holds it until he can’t hold it anymore then he cries and cries and I feel so sorry for him, but then he gets quite and settles down. He still hasn’t tried to get up and the 24th will be a month he hasn’t been active and mobile and we’re worried that he wont even bother to try, but I still have hope that someday he will.

I can’t believe I am still sick, it’s going on a month now and it wont go away it seems to be stuck in my throat and ears. I have been getting plenty of rest and fluids and eating right, but it still persists, I have never had a virus last this long, anyone else having a problem this year getting rid of theirs? I’m starting to think that the older I get the the worse everything is going to be and I’m not looking forward to any of it.

A few years back when Bill started taking a mild blood pressure pill I bought him a monitor that he could check his pressure with at home. He likes to play doctor and check mine also when I let him and the last few times it’s been pretty high so now he’s worried that I might have a stroke and he’s pushing me to make an appointment which I will do next week when I feel better. Strokes and heart attacks do run in my family.

I was thinking about all of this because of Shadow’s problems and I’d certainly hate to be in the position he is in now and have Bill try to take care of both of us. Just thinking about not being able to take care of my physical needs sends a chill through me. I watched my Mother take care of my paralyzed Father and how hateful and bitter he became and I would really not like to be in that position.

Of course no one would want to have either happen to themselves or anyone else and I’ve thought a lot about that conversation with my Son. I thought at least if he had been paralyzed he could still be able to watch his Son grow up, but he was adamant that he would prefer cancer to being paralyzed. He must have thought about this a lot because he knew about my family history.

Little did we know that all that cancer was running strife on his blood Fathers side, the only thing he ever inherited from him.

The majority of people seem to simply exist =  to live at an inferior level or under adverse circumstances because we don’t know how to live life to the fullest. There are many experts out there that tell us how to enjoy life and what to do to be healthier and how to take advantage of any given circumstance, but most of us continue in the same rut day after day because it’s familiar to us. When was the last time you dared to dream or to affect a change in your life?

We are so bogged down with just trying to make ends meet and survive that most of us forget to appreciate the beauty and life around us, I’ll stop that right there and just speak for myself because I know there are many people out there that are living life to the fullest and have a good quality of life and understand what giving back and helping their fellow man is all about. I am grateful for the life I was given, but I can honestly say that I haven’t used it well.

Many of us are searching for answers, but not quite sure where to look, we search everywhere, but inside. I have tried meditation, but I simply can’t be still and concentrate or reach the core, but everyone seems to find some sort of truth or develop a philosophy for their life with each passing moment and each experience. I have known people that have nothing (material wise), but seemed very happy and content without a care in the world.

We seem to think if we are successful and rich and have everything we want that we will be happy and content, but that’s not always the case. I’m still seeking happy and content or maybe it’s bliss I’m seeking, because the past 6 years with Bill is the closest to happy and content I’ve ever been in my reality. I do know that I should put my trust in my God and myself instead of relying on man for my happiness because it comes from within. I want to live not just exist.

I Think I'm Getting Paranoid

   Posted by: jude   in Marketing Online

After writing my post last night about mymoneytree I took a closer look at the founder information for that site. I was looking at the other members on the board and one that is listed as a special adviser is Boulat Rafikov and he was involved in the Global Pension Plan scam you can see his association by visiting bizoppsuk.com . Whether it’s a scam or not if you do a search on his name you will find many forums that discuss his involvement with the program and now he is connected to the next best thing online? When I saw his name I also unfortunately had a red flag go up because I don’t know how legit he is, but since no money has been required I will wait and see.

When the official launch of me2everyone occurs I wont have a problem giving them my physical address, but I doubt very seriously I will send a photocopy of my license or anything else that might be required. It doesn’t actually say what the other requirements might be, but if you read up on the GPP requirement they requested a photocopy of a passport or license. That is where I would have to draw the line and drop out because I certainly don’t need my information used in any way illegally or for any purpose. I think paranoia must be rubbing off on me.

He seems to be pretty deep in a lot of programs this is his site and he is also pushing mymoneytree and me2everyone pretty hard, he must be one of the original investors because his number is 26. I really hope that this is a legit program, but only time will tell. You would think there has to be a catch some where. I was happier when I didn’t have any doubts, but you never get something for nothing, now do you? If it sounds to good to be true, then it usually is. Oh, well we shall see. I’ve never been very bright about marketing online anyhow.

When you join me2everyone free right now you will receive 1,000 free shares in the next “Big Money Making Virtual World” that is taking over the Internet don’t miss out. Maureen Foers OBE will be heading up the company, you can do a search of her name for more information and she is also on the board of mymoneytree. You can also read about Michael Leonard (Founder) of mymoneytree and LoreKai on the Faqs page. See the link below where I talk about mymoneytree.

There was a delay with changing me2everyone.com (new window) over to the new server, but when I did manage to finally log on I read their announcement that had the following sentence:

“me2everyone was a carefully guarded secret, known only to a few hundred Founder Members.”

In reference to the above “Few 100 founder Members” I found out who they were today not specifically who, but where they came from and I sure do wish I had known about this company beforehand so I could have gotten in on the ground floor. Below is the information I found after doing some researching. One of the readers here had expressed some concerns even though they were a member and said they were going to do a report about what they find out soon. You can find more about me2everyone at the below link.

I found reference to mymoneytree.tv (opens in a new window) and headed over to check them out and of course I registered for free because I love their concept and was very disappointed that I couldn’t actually give them any money because they had already reached their quota for the 2 programs they were looking for investors for. If I had 1,800 to invest to become a wealth business partner I certainly would. You have to read the program to appreciate it and how it helps new entrepreneurs.

 The following you can send to your list if you have one and you will find it on their site.

Do you want to make a real difference and have a chance to make some money as well?   Take a look at www.MYMoneyTree.tv It’s something new and Membership is FREE, giving you the chance to evaluate the company with no risk. They have lots of cool projects that need money: everything from climate change technology to stealth marketing websites and even some huge property ideas.

That’s where the members come in. MYMoneyTree.tv members can lend these entrepreneurs from just US$20 and benefit from a complete return of their money within one year PLUS an ongoing income every month from the success of the project.

Also every MYMoneyTree.tv client is committed to giving back a portion of its profits to help people out of poverty or improve their health. Please visit www.MYMoneyTree.tv when you have a few moments. You can sign up for FREE and get to know the organization. When you join please quote my Membership Number 100000817 under, Where did you here about us? Just hit recommend and add my referral number. Of course you would add your own number when you use this.

Whenever you successfully recommend a genuine new member we will give you 10 Credits. When your members make loans to our entrepreneurs we will give you an additional Credit for every dollar they loan. So, a $500 loan brings you 500 Credits. Every month our entrepreneurs pay a small amount of their income to MYMoneyTree.tv and every 4 months we give this to our members – pro rata to how many Credits they have.

As soon as they have other programs I will definitely try to get in on the ground floor because these programs are researched before they are backed and I need something on a low budget that I can invest in and be able to see a return. I think we2everyone is going to be a success and I hope you get the opportunity to join and increase your shares before it launches. I would have loved to have been in on Google or Yahoo, don’t miss the next big thing. Check out both sites and decide for yourself.

Shadows' Recycled DIY Bed

   Posted by: jude   in Home and Family

I have been looking for a used baby crib for Shadow with no luck and I certainly don’t want to pay a couple hundred dollars for a new one. So yesterday I spent my time trying to figure out what I have just sitting around that I could recycle into a bed of sorts. I needed it to be easier to reach him and change him around without continuously getting up and down off the floor, we’re both mature after all.

I remembered an odd shaped table in the basement that I was using to store stuff on and asked Bill to bring it up after I unloaded it of course. I had an old computer type chair that I had broken down that was on rollers because I had tried to make something to put shadow on to help him be more mobile, but it hadn’t worked out so Bill took the rollers off and added them to the table I had decided to use so I could roll him where ever I wanted him.

We then concentrated on side boards so he wouldn’t roll off. Bill brought some solid pieces of wood home from work and some blocks, but I wanted Shadow to be able to look through slats and not feel like he was cooped up, poor old guy, it breaks my heart to see him this way. I remembered I had some small pieces of wooden fence that I had used around my tomato plants to keep him from urinating on them and decided they would be perfect for my DIY project.

I needed 3 pieces of the fence, 1 for either side and 1 split in half for the ends. Bill sawed off the bottom parts that go in the ground and measured where he wanted the blocks, then used the wood screws to secure everything. We had an old lounge chair pad that was like an inch thick that fit perfectly, so I added his favorite blanket and his pads and he was ready to go. It’s not very pretty because I decided not to add a skirt or paint, but it gets the job it was intended for done.

It’s so much easier for me to take care of him now. Of course I’m hoping a miracle will happen and in a month or so he will be walking again. At his age surgery and the use of anesthesia is not something I want to consider because it could be very harmful for him. He walked a couple days after his accident, but hasn’t tried since. He was on steroids for 17 days plus antibiotics for 10 because there was blood in his urine the day we put him in the kennel.

If he was in pain and not alert I wouldn’t want to see him suffer just because I’m selfish and want to keep him with me. I would have to pray very hard for him to die on his own because I honestly don’t know if I would have the strength to put him down and lose him too. It’s so strange that he has many of the same human characteristics as my Son and I have always slipped over the years and called him Eric half the time. He’s happiest when Bill is home because they’re buddies.
