Well I've put it off as long as I can, Friday I go in and get a peg feeding tube. I should have done it sooner but for so long my weight stayed the same. Then it took a nose dive. It's become pure misery to eat and not much better to drink. I still can with the peg but I won't have to as much. It's hard to describe what this has been like. Hard on Les, too. Still want and waiting for a second opinion. I just want to know without a doubt what disease I have. We are getting quotes on a new roof and planning a Wedding, plus me, busy time! I hope everyone likes pulled pork and chicken and side salads for the reception, that's the caterer we are looking at. Maybe we should have an vegetarian side dish? I don't know
Love, Cathy

Cathy, Good luck on your peg. Is it a doctor office visit or something more ? Things will work out, dont be too nervous .Lots of love Dad and Alice
It's done in day surgery. The same place where they did the endoscopy. I'll have to be careful not to pull it out
Love, Cathy
Cathy,
We'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Hope this will help with things. Yes, it sounds like you are very busy. Dad's right, everything works out with those wedding plans. The food sounds great! We are so looking forward to seeing everyone and celebrating.
Busy here, too, we pulled off all the paneling in the living room last weekend, waiting for the neighbor to texture the bare sheetrock, then I have to paint. It's a mess!
love,
Mary D.
I bet you will be glad to get rid of the paneling. Thanks for the encouragement. I should have done this sooner. Sunny and warmer here this morning.
Love, Cathy
Pulled pork and chicken with salads sounds very good! I can't wait to saddle up to the bar. Cathy, you will be fine with the peg. Love, Greg
I'm home with a sore tummy. The procedure went well but I was choking on the throat spray so it took longer to get me out. It feels weird to have it there, I hope I get used to it. The home health nurse will be out Saturday to show us how to use it and start me on formula.
Cathy,
Glad to hear you are home. I'm sorry to hear about the discomfort. I wish I could make it better for you. I'm glad you are telling us what you're going through. I just watched a video on a peg. So the tube comes out your abdomen? Wow. No wonder you're sore.
We are thinking of you. The sun came out for a little bit today. And a rainbow.
love and prayers,
Mary D.
Cathy, the soreness should go away. Give the process some time, and you will gain some weight and feel better overall. We leave Wednesday and will keep in touch. We love you and Les and all the kids. Dad and Alice

Have a good trip
Love, Cathy
The place I'm going for a second opinion Tuesday is at the base of the Tram. Wish I felt better Les and I could ride it. Long day though. A third emg and two Doctors
Good luck. I hope they have something more conclusive to tell you. Hope you will be feeling better soon.
love,
Mary D.
Same answer, a long day
Cathy
Thank you for letting us know what is happening. We are only a couple of hours away if you need anything.I hope your soreness is getting better and the feedings so you can gain weight.Love Yvonne
Thanks so much. The soreness is better.
Love, Cathy
Praying for you xxx
you are invited to follow my blog
Cathy, All of the family and good friends want the best for you, and would do anything to help. This includes Les !! Trust in him . We all reach higher when we have to . Love Dad and Alice
I know I'm very fortunate.
Love, Cathy
Cathy,
Hope you are doing okay with the peg and gaining some weight. How is the roof coming along? Hope all the plans are moving along smoothly.
Looks like I have a 4th day of painting ceilings and walls tomorrow.
We are thinking of you.
love and prayers, Mary D.
They start the roof this Friday. I'm coughing constantly dr putting me on antibiotic and getting me a cough assist machine.
Love, Cathy
Cathy, I'm glad you are letting us know what is going on. I am sorry to hear you are coughing so much. I hope it doesn't hurt too much. And hope the antibiotic and assist machine help and ease things. Will the new roof be asphalt shingle? wood shingles?
You hang in there-we send lots of good thoughts and love. See you soon.
Mary D.
Cathy, We just had our computer updated, and we have trouble with some of it . Is your cough associated with your pneumonia ? How is your weight problem going ? We have lots of questions , dont we ? May have to come out and help you guys do your roof. Alice has cataract surgery this Thursday so it would be after that. Love Dad and Alice
Yes I'm sure it is I'm on antibiotics and inhaler that I can't really use. A little better today. What a miserable thing!
I'll probably gain wt when the pneumonia is gone. I think I've had for awhile
Cathy,
How are you doing? Hope you aren't coughing so much and the antibiotic is helping. We are thinking of you.
And saying lots of prayers.
love and hugs,
Mary
The antibiotic is helping and my blood work is improving
Les is looking for a mini nebulozer as the one here helps. I will probably have a cough assist machine at home. So many gadgets but that's ALS.
See you in July!
Love you
Cathy, Yes !!!
I might go home tonight Depends on blood work
One more night while we wait for mote equipment to come
Hello Cathy. I hope you sleep well tonight. I stopped by to say heeloo, its been awhile since i have commented here. We have nice weather now. About 66 degrees at 9 o'clock pm, clear sky, low wind, and a full moon rising.
Garden is in and requires lots of weeding to get all the good stuff off to a start. Carrots are very difficult to establish because of competing vegetation. Love from Nebraska Big A
Mary can fill you in about me Alan. Been a tough week!
Cathy, yes, you have had a very tough week. How are you today? Are you still in the hospital? I hope you can go home soon. Are you waiting for the cough assist machine? That will help. I hope the sun is shining for you up there. You are going through so much. I wish we could make it better. See you soon.
We love you lots!
Mary
Cathy, Glad you are doing a little better. We are still in a recovery mode right now, so we will wait a bit more before we come out. Hope you can get somewhat better in the meantime, and we will see you soon . Love Dad and Alice
Cathy,
Glad you are home and doing better. Yes, you should keep a journal like your pastor suggested. Thanks for the call from Les, it was nice to talk to him. Sounds like the roof project went well. We are almost done with the remodel project here-the electrician was here the last two days, the new hall doors and trim start going up tomorrow. It will be nice to get things put back. Rained alot last night but the sun is out today. Hope you are healing and relaxing. Always thinking of you,
love, Mary
Thanks for the beautiful flowers! I learned a lesson about not going to the hospital when something is obviously wrong. They shouldn't have sent me home the first time we went, either. We had a nice dy today, but rain coming Saturday. Same thing next week!
See you soon
Hugs, Cathy

Cathy, I hope and pray you are healthy enough to write another blog entry soon. We have the rain good right now, Mikhael came home for a nice fathers day visit, it might be indoors though. Love, Greg
Cathy, Glad the flowers arrived! Just thought you and Les needed a good pick-me-up. You have both been through an awful lot. It's okay to be concerned about something not feeling right and going to the doc or hospital. We hope you are feeling better and healing up. Hope the sun peeks out once in awhile. Take it easy.
lots of love,
Mary
