Steve....this is my first post here, but my prayers are with you and your wife, and family...I am a Surgical ICU Rn in a busy Boston hosp.....and 'see' what you are going through on a daily basis. 'Western medicine' has never been better, but having said that, I have seen a positive attitude 'out-do' ANYTHING medicine has to offer....I know, that's easy for me to say, it's easy for someone who is not experiencing what your are to say that...but as you and your wife go through this tough time...do your best, to stay positive....Western medicine is unmatched, but someone's psychological state of mind, is even more powerful...good luck.....Bob

I am very grateful to you all for your kind words, thoughts and prayers for Deb, myself and our family. I am trying to stay strong but have my moments such as this one now where after reading all these responses I must honestly tell you I have tears rolling down my cheeks. God this sucks...

reelecstasy 06-21-2005 07:32 AM

I know how you feel Steve, and these are certainly testing times. Be strong for her. Vent when you can. "If he leads you to it. he will see you thru it......"

My families thoughts and prayers are with you. Stay strong, stay positive. Your wife will get through this. Matt

Steve - as I said in my pm - certainly no need to apologize. Kind of funny how fishing seems like the most important thing in the world until something reminds you what the most important things in the world really are. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hang in there buddy, prayer is very strong thing!!!!

Edge Sportfish 06-22-2005 10:13 AM

My thoughts and prayers are with you both Steve. After the dust settles and you are both well and happy, come on down and be my guest on the boat for a couple of days of R&R. We'll be thinking of you both-G.L.

Hi guys and girls, Just an update. Deb went through the surgery on Friday like a trooper. She is hobbling around the house. Today we go to the doctor's so he can see how the incisions are healing. Don't think we will have any results of the biopsies just yet. I been cookin', cleaning, ironing, doing the laundry, food shopping, geeting the kids to work and back. Last night my daughters stayed home and I got to sneak out in the skiff. ( It's the only way to catch fish these days) with good friend Dave LaPorte. Between sluggo's and popping plugs we managed fifty or so. My 3 biggest were 33, 34 and 36 inches up to 17 pounds. Fun fish that's all, no real big fish but a lot of fun and it was great to get out. My daughter's have been great helping out with Deb. Deb saw a baby Robin on our front lawn that must have fallen out of it's nest. I was sent to the rescue and since I couldn't reach the original nest I built a new one where I could reach and feeding slugs and worms to the little thing couple times a day. He/she is doing well and the nest is holding up ( first one I ever built). Deb watches it through the window and has quarantined the cat so he cannot go outside and eat the little thing. Thanks again for all your kinds thoughts and prayers we really do appreciate the help. Hopefully the surgery will be the last step. Thanks again all, Steve S.

Sounds positive so far Steve. The waiting is tough. Have a friend going thru the same waiting game right now. Kids are a good distraction. Keep positive. P.
