flowers wow

To my complete surprise today, my sister came over to see me, she gave me a great big hug, and a kiss on the cheek, and said Happy Mothers day Cindy, and thank you so very much for taking such good care of my grandson. Then she handed be this beautiful blue vase of mini carnations and mini waxed roses flowers. They are incredibly gorgeous.

Tig...It sounds like she may be coming around to reality. I sure hope so, for your sake. I am so happy for you that she gave you the flowers. You deserve so much more from her for what you are doing.

Tomorrow is the BIG day, right?

That's so nice and so unexpected I'm sure. You deserve all the flowers in the world.

I have been diagnoised for 2 1/2 years. I have tried every oral med as well as rescue instills and DMSO.
1st hydro 4/07 which showed no visible signs of IC but I had tons of mast cells in all my biopsy samples which did prove IC.
2nd hydro 4/13/09 showed dark purple glomerulations and I had a capacity of 450 cc's. I am still feeling the effects of the hydro two weeks later.
This 2nd hydro proved that because no treatments have helped me that my IC has progressed

Am being seen by Dr. Hanno's office in Philly

None of my medicine or treatments are important anymore. One of our best IC sisters Barb has been taken from us too early. She was such a great friend to me, I feel like there is a part of my heart that will always be empty now that she is gone.
