Heartland

Shyte.
Salary in the end of the week so I send money ASAP.
Take care Erik

I'm sitting here absolutely overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from my fellow Heartlanders–I've not been around much over the last couple of years, nor talked to some of you in several years–yet you've come to David's and my aid in spite of it. It's awesome in the true sense of the word. I/we can't begin to thank you properly for your generosity and thoughtfulness!

I hadn't wanted to annoy/worry you lot with news of my seemingly-incessant scans/biopsies/etc. leading up to this summer's hideous diagnosis, so I kept it to myself, and stayed away from the forums. I'm really sorry for having done that, now. I do have a blog detailing my journey through this nightmare; it's linked in my HL profile, in case any of you would like to keep tabs on what's going on. Some of the updates may contain info that's graphic and depressing, so reader beware...

I love and miss you all! I do "lurk" now and then, but I usually don't have much energy and thus rarely, if ever, post anything anymore. The heavy-duty chemo has taken/continues to take its toll; I haven't been able to work in months (hence David's and my worsening financial straits), and it seems all I do now is sleep! I'm hoping to be able to get *some* energy back when I'm done with chemo (in mid-November)/before my surgery (which will probably be in December–joy). To say that this is a humbling experience would be an understatement. Gaining new perspectives daily...

To you lot:

The Heartland Effect is in effect.
We loves ya Sinnie

If you wanted to keep it private, that's fine, but I'm sure no-one would've been annoyed if you'd told us. When I'm old and decrepit and can no longer control my own bladder and bowels, you'll all be getting every detail.

darling erika -you were a heartlander long before i was here and you'll still be here when i'm dead and gone. dont ever doubt that.

.....and how come you still look totally f**king gorgeous with a bald head while i have to scrape through as "not too ugly???"

You're OURS, Sinny, and that's all that matters. 💋

Feck!

Donated.....

Silly SINnie Can't speak for the rest of the shameless reprobates round these parts, but I reckon friends help friends out when we can, and when we can't we at least we send warm n'fuzzy thoughts your way.

And I'm afraid, your long absence notwithstanding, you're stuck with us as friends.

yeah! sorry about that

I've got the paypal donations, abridged and Being45, just waiting for another one today before I bundle it all off together.

Just to clarify, can I donate by PayPal?

no, but if you paypal it to me (read back, post 17) then i will do it for you. I have some other people's to send on once I get one more person's, so send away and I'll do the lot!

Ok, I'll do that this weekend or at the beginning of next week.

Sent a little, good luck with the fight!

Whacked my pennies onto the stack!
Thanks for helping out in, dear!
Oh, and Sinnierella:
Tenthousand go in your general direction! Did I mention that the therapy didn´t manage to break your very punkish splendour?
2016 will reverb with your thunder. It may be muffled right now, but it wasn´t stolen.

it's not going too badly...

True, but we need an extra push. You're more social media oriented than me Jo, so keep banging the drum. Loudly.

$2k up since we started! not all of that down to us, i know, but wooo!
will get on it...

Go girl.

the fund is now over $4k! have just sent some more that was paypalled to me.
good work, troops.

the first good news i've heard today.

Only $425 to reach goal. It's good, but it can be better. Dig deeper HLers! We can make it.

Sent what i could, and all my hopes.

I should be able to put in a bit more come next payday.
