Please send good vibes for my friend...
Edited on Tue Aug-29-06 05:59 PM by GoddessOfGuinness
I saw my horn player friend, Jonell, last night. She went through a heavy-duty round of chemo a couple of years ago, then got the bad news this last spring that she'd need more. She was upbeat about it..."At least this time I'll only need 8 treatments".

Last night she was using a scooter-like device to get around. She's apparently lost the use of one of her legs. Still, she was there at the rehearsal, ready to go, scooting along and doing her damnedest to not let it get her down. I didn't really get a chance to talk with her...I only had enough time to give her a hug before we started again.

Please send good thoughts her way...It's really not looking so good for her right now...

5. She is...
She's never been the type to stand out in a crowd...a rather private person all in all. I'm guessing at this point she doesn't have much choice other than to be brave. I wish she could just be cured.

24. Thank you so much...
She seemed so upbeat last night. I think she had more hope than I had.
I guess it helps that she's doing what she loves to do. I'm so glad she has music...

30. good vibes...
a friend of mine decided to stop her chemo. She is actually doing better off of it, as she was so sick from it. She's going to make the best use of time now. I will see her this week.

38. I'm sorry, GoG
for your friend, and for you. It is hard to watch someone we care about go through pain and suffering.

Good vibes for your friend. Love and (((hugs))) for you.
