Title: Latest news on Skat.. Post by kimchris1 on 07/21/11 at 03:39:09 Preacher Mike and I decided that we should start a thread just for the latest news on Skat.. Skat and her Mom made the 12 hr trip to Pa safely. She placed the "Hello Kitty" quilt I made her on the bed and said it made it feel more like home. Skat has appts at the Cancer Center today and surgery is set for tomorrow. Skat's Mom will keep in contact with Preacher Mike and myself. Skat is able to do e-mail yet can not access the forum from the hospital. Thanks everyone for your prayers, well wishes, as well as wearing Pink and placing the Pink on your bikes. She really appreciates all the support. That is all I have for now.. Over and out.. :) kim |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by Skid Mark on 07/21/11 at 17:14:59 Thanks for the update. My thoughts are with Skat. Hoping for a sucessful surgery and a full recovery. |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by kimchris1 on 07/21/11 at 21:56:18 Update as of few mins ago.. Received an E-mail. Her surgery is expected to take 5 hrs. Her Mom has my contact info. I will of course relay info as it comes in. Skat was having a little snack as it will be the last thing she gets to eat till after the surgery.. Depending on the time difference, I should know something hopefully by early afternoon my time. Hugs everyone.. kim |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by babyhog on 07/22/11 at 05:57:54 Thanks Kimmy. You're the best! And I so much agree with JOG and those who have trouble with this, so I rarely comment either. But I've been amazed at the "family" we have here and how caring everyone is. It honestly brings a tear to my eye. Will be thinking of Skat all day today.... |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by photojoe on 07/22/11 at 10:20:32 My thoughts are with Skat. This "C" thing has touched all of our lives in one form or another. One thing I'm certain of is that people who are going through it, definitely benefit from the thoughts and little notes from their friend's and family. |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by prechermike on 07/22/11 at 13:37:33 I spoke with Skat's mom this afternoon, she was in surgery. she wanted me to let you know about the room number in her addres. Room 210 Hope Lodge 110 W. Laurel Ave. Philadelphia PA 19012 Mike |
|
Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by prechermike on 07/22/11 at 14:56:41 Just spoke with Skat's mom. She is out of surgery and everything went very well. Should be in her room soon and hopefuly to Hope Lodge in a couple of days. She is thanful for all our prayers and concerns. |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by kimchris1 on 07/22/11 at 20:52:21 Fresh flowers are not accepted at Hope Lodge. They will accept Fruit, Gourmet baskets as well as Silk flowers. Cards are accepted with no problems. Skat will possibly go there on Monday or Tuesday. If I find out for sure which day I will post it here. hugs..kim |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by SuperSavage on 07/22/11 at 21:09:40 I wish Skat the best. My sister had gone through similar circumstances a few years back and is still with us, in good health. A good mindset combined with healthy lifestyle(plenty of riding ;)) will give her a good leg up in her battle. Just remember, temporary- post surgery is the toughest time physically and mentally. In a few months you'll be feeling like your old self, God bless and best of Luck. Johnnycat |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat..

Shes not goin away.. |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by prechermike on 07/23/11 at 07:44:14 Spoke to her mom this morning, Skat is eating breakfast and laughing. Kim, her mom said the nurses are fighting over who gets to take the quilt home. She is hoping to be released from the hospital tomorrow, to go back Hope Lodge. :) :D ;D 8-) ::) (My daughter told me to put all the faces!) |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by verslagen1 on 07/23/11 at 08:15:19 Kimmy dear , you have to make some pillows for them. Please? |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by kimchris1 on 07/23/11 at 21:49:56 Wow seems I may have to make more than some pillows for the nurses.. I am sure SKat is keeping it close. :) I placed a call earlier this afternoon and no answer. Then we took the bikes out and got home at 9 p.m. Too late to call so wil try again tomorrow a.m.. For everyone else that has family battling cancer. Big Big hugs, prayers, positive thoughts to them. Thank you for thinking on Skat as well.. :) hugs and love to all... klm |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by kimchris1 on 07/25/11 at 13:22:21 I'm not sure. I will check and let you know.. Very nice for you to ask.. Hugs..:) kim |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by kimchris1 on 07/25/11 at 14:09:49 The Snakelady, yes it is ok to visit. I just talked with Skat's Mom.. Skat is resting. Someday Skat and I will get to talk. lol.. Please relay her all of our best wishes..Hugs..:) kim |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by TheSnakeLady on 07/25/11 at 16:29:01 K, sounds good, my fiance and I are planning on going down Thursday! Anyone got any ideas as to parking fees and such, I just want to make sure we have enough cash on hand. Thanks in advance for the info! |
|
Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by kimchris1 on 07/25/11 at 22:59:00 Ok SnakeLady.. I just checked the website. Parking on the Fox Chase lot is free, you can park in several different open lots, a west side or east side parking garage. Also their is Valet parking of which their is a $5.00 fee.. You can check the website for more info... Enjoy your visit.. Wish I could be there too.. Hugs to all, :) kim |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by kimchris1 on 07/26/11 at 19:03:28 Skat has a voice...lol... I actually got to talk to her today..Whooppeeee.... OMG her voice is so pretty. She and I laughed and shared some great moments on the phone. She walked around the perimiter of the Hospital on the outside today. It was her first walk outside since the surgery. She is doing great.. Temps had cooled down to about 80, yet she was tired and sweaty from the walk. Great job gal.. Each day a new step.. BTW, she is able to view posts here. She just is not able to login. Place won't allow the login. Yet she is keeping up on all of our news.. She thanks everyone and misses us all as well. Skat, we miss you and send you all our best.. Hugs and love, :) kim |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by Serowbot on 07/26/11 at 22:03:32 ... in that case... Hugs and love from me, too... (:-*)... PS...(the parenthesis are hugging arms... even though, it looks more like I have pigtails)... :-?... Thanks for keeping us updated, KC... :-*... |
|
Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by WD on 07/27/11 at 02:39:35 Any idea yet on a go home date? With her outlook on life, and how everything has gone so far, Skat is going to be "NED" and knocking on our doors before we know it. |
|
Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by prechermike on 07/27/11 at 05:54:41 WD, from what she told me, it will probably be a couple of weeks before she gets back home. She is doing well, just has to deal with the post op stuff and the hospital is a long way from home. But, as I said, everything is doing well. |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by buttgoat1 on 07/27/11 at 09:21:39 keep the good news flowin! |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by TheSnakeLady on 07/27/11 at 10:48:52 Ok, so the plan is Brooks and I are gonna leave Central New York about 7am, hope to get there about noon (if we don't get lost, I've never been to PA LOL). Stay a couple hours or so and then head back home. See you tomarrow Skat, I'll be the one with the pink hair! ;) |
|
Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by kimchris1 on 07/27/11 at 11:56:23 Bot, those pigtails look sexy on you.. :-* I am sure the hugs made Skat feel very good as well. I know hearing her voice sure made the last two glumy days, brighter.. She has a ways to go yet. Not sure on a discharge date as some progress still to come before that can happen. She is doing great and she is one tough woman. Skat, hugs and thanks for making the clouds disappear.. I will be checking in later... :) kim |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by Yonuh Adisi FSO on 07/27/11 at 14:03:29 I haven't commented on Skat's situation because like the other's it breaks my heart, but if she is up to it here is a power hug http://www.annemccaffreyfans.org/forum/images/smilies/powerglomp__by_GuyFlash.gif |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by scroop on 07/27/11 at 18:10:16 Hey, Skat. Glad to hear of all of the great progress! Thinking about heading out to say "Hello" this Saturday with a friend of mine if that is o.k. Probably looking at around noonish or so, and I'm not much of a talker so won't stay long. Let me know if that time frame doesn't suit or if you need me to bring anything out to you. Keep fighting, sis, and blessings to you. ---Scroop |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by TheSnakeLady on 07/28/11 at 19:25:38 I went to see Skat today! Cept she wasn't there :'( The good news is that after getting VERY lost in the "not so good" part of town, we finally found the place. Bad news is, she's not able to get on here at all I guess so she had no idea we were coming down and was an hour away visiting a friend. We were ready to go to said friends house, but totally got lost again. I don't like PA (no offense to PA natives). LOL. We did get to meet Skat's mom tho, and she was very appreciative of us coming down to visit! Very nice woman! Btw, the rules at hope lodge are very strickt, no food outside cafe, no visitors under 18, can't visit rooms... Oh, and Scroop, when I talked to her she mentioned a bbq this sat so I wouldn't plan a trip this weekend. Skat, I'm soooooo sorry we missed you!!!! We'll try again sometime!!!! ;) |
|
Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by kimchris1 on 07/29/11 at 00:02:26 Skat is now under strick orders from her Dr's... She is strickly under hospital arrest. That means she HAS to rest.. She is running a low grade fever and has a small infection. She is actually in quarantine. SnakeLady, she was so sorry to have missed seeing you today. She also wanted everyone to know how much she appreciated the flowers and cards. She is sorry to not be able to talk to us all right now. She made it sound like visitors right now are prohibited. She is again being told no internet, no nothing but rest. Scroop, I know you were planning to visit, yet that is prohibited as of now. No phone calls just plain rest. She is not going home anytime soon it sounds, so it might be best to wait till she is feeling better..Just a suggestion. She had told me she could read our posts as a guest, yet now sounds like she is unable to do that even. SnakeLady, sorry the trip did not bring you the chance to meet Skat in person. I had no idea she was able to go out side of the hospital grounds. Now she is on restriction and that is not even allowed. Their was an annonyamous donor that sent a beautiful silk flower arrangement with a lovely card.. NO it was not me. This person wanted it to remain a secret of who had sent it. That secret is safe with me. I do know the flowers and card was sent on behalf of all of us here. I am sorry to have this news to share after sharing great news before. The news will get better as Skat rests and gets over this hurdle... I She said, she will let everyone know when she is back in New Bern. Thank you all for your continued support, love, prayers, and best wishes to her. Hugs and love to all.. kim |
|
Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by prechermike on 07/29/11 at 02:57:23 Sounds like she tried to do too much too soon. That is a mistake alot of us would have made, though this is a "setback" I still see it as a good sign. Skat is not sitting around moping and feeling sorry for herself, she is up and trying to get better. I would like to try being quaranteened and on bed rest, for a couple of hours, after that, not so much. :-/ |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by kimchris1 on 07/29/11 at 08:59:48 I agree with Preacher Mike. Skat is tough.. She has already shown us all what a fighter she is. She is going to continue to fight and the rest will help her regain her strength. Oh believe me I realize how many of you feel. The anger, hurt, saddness. Yes I feel it too.. However, Skat has never once said she felt it.. I find her an amazing woman. She never had to let us into what was going on in the first place. Since she did, she again has shown me strength, bravery, love and a friendship that will go on forever.:) While I don't expect to have daily news to share for awhile, :( I ask that cards, special wishes, prayers, happy, positive thoughts be sent her way.. She really does appreciate the forum being with her on this journey. She even said that in her E-mail. She also wanted to make sure no one was offended by the no visits or phone calls for now.. Skat, you get well, no offense taken..:) Hugs and love to all.. kim |
|
Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by gerald.hughes on 07/29/11 at 15:26:18 I sent Skat a card at both the Fox Chase center, and the Hope Center. Fox Chase returned it, saying that they had no such patient (SKAT- The Crazy Biker Chick from N/C.) So, I am posting it below for her. http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp223/gerald_hughes/Cardf.jpg http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp223/gerald_hughes/Cardi.jpg |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by Boofer on 07/29/11 at 17:08:55 Just because we don't know how to say it doesn't mean she won't understand our concern. And Skate Girl, some of these big old burley men on here would get woozy and faint if they actually visited a hospital. ;D Best wishes and kind thoughts and prayer from the state of Mississippi.

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by Midnightrider on 07/29/11 at 18:40:51 I use to hang glide, skydive, paddle white water kayaks down dangerous rivers and ride motorcycles really, really fast. I thought I was brave. I wasnt. YOU ARE!!!!! You are my hero. |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by fascar228 on 07/30/11 at 00:27:45 Dear Skat, I have been following this thread for sometime. Other threads I usually just read through and enjoy comments from all the members. BUT this thread is special. You are a brave woman and there now seems to be a FAN club following your well being, I too am one following it. kimchris has done a wonderful job of bringing us up to date reports. I wish you a quick and complete recovery. I am 11 hours ahead of your time line that's the other side of the world but i when ever I see my S40 which is quite often I think about your health and get concerned. May you recover soon and be with your loved ones, family and the rider group. I wish I could bring my bike there and do some riding together with you all.... Skat... keep those spirits high!!! you are a born fighter.... really liked your re-enactment pics....(fancy costumes etc)... Faisal |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by scroop on 07/30/11 at 08:14:12 Skat - Your a fightin' machine!!! Out running around like you are after major surgery visiting and having BBQs! No self-pity found in you, that's for sure! Give your body a chance to catch up with your mind and spirit. Let us know if we can ship anything out to you. I'll try to get out there on the 7th if things work that way. Blessings to you, sis. :) Very cool card, Jerry! 8-) Thanks for all of your efforts and for the updates, Kim. I put off the trek to Philly for a better time. :D |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by kimchris1 on 07/30/11 at 09:36:21 Guys, and Gals, thanks so much.. Your such a wonderful group of people.. Scroop sorry you had to postpone the trip, yet it will be a better viisit once Skat is rested better. Jerry, that card is so sweet. She is going to love it.. Sorry it didn't reach her, I am not sure what happened. At least it was returned to you and you were able to post where she will still see it Hugs everone and I will try and call towards the end of next week for an update, at least from her Mom... Till then, happy thoughts, love and hugs.. ;) kim |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by prechermike on 08/01/11 at 09:11:14 I got an email from Skat! :D "Thank you to everyone who has sent cards, flowers and kind thoughts to Philly. Believe it or not, I have indeed gotten cards addressed to SKAT here at Hope Lodge. I think the one card that appears to have gone astray was sent to the hospital after I left there and went to Hope Lodge (different building across the street). But I did see that card (cute!) thanks to my mom setting her laptop up on my bed. Of course, since she is my mom and its her laptop, i was on restricted time limit for 'surfing' but i did get my email caught up and checked out the Cafe! Just to clear a few things up - First off, no guests are allowed in the rooms here at Hope Lodge. Second, I am basically stuck in my room until i get a clear bloodwork count from the doctors. I also have surgical drains in me that should have come out last Friday, but are still not out due to my jumping up and around before i should have. Tomorrow is my next check with both the surgeon and my oncologist. They determine when I can go out, and when I can go home to NC. At this point, neither is happening any time soon. So thank you to those who have come to see me (Snakelady my mom should have taken a photo of you two!) and Scroop who is trying to visit but getting thwarted (not intentionally). Please bear with me on the delays. We will have chances to get togther - just maybe not as soon as we would like! Everyone take care, ride safe and thank you for spreading the PINK! Skat" |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by drharveys on 08/03/11 at 15:15:24 Outstanding news! :D Yes, it's a long haul and PT/rehab is no picnic, but it sure beats the alternatives.

If you're close enough, ride with her for a picnic, otherwise all of ride the same day and post photos of our picnics! |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by kimchris1 on 08/05/11 at 07:58:32 Serowbot, believe me, it happened.. I rode about 307 miles yesterday.. Al, that seat you sold me worked great... None of us were in any kind of a hurry, so it was a very pleasant ride. Took our time and really enjoyed the day and scenery. Our summer has taken forever to get started and so nice to have spent one of them with these guys and, the "Suzuki Princess." The trip down the mountain took less time as we had all taken all the pics and did the sight seeing we wanted to do.. Oh and Skat you would have loved seeing Dj's daughter,, Her doo rag is "pink skulls" and she also had on a pink shirt under her jacket.. Oh yeah all our bikes sported "pink." Oldfella we get triple bonus points for that.. These guys were proud to sport the pink.. :) kim |

Skat, I haven't been logging in very often lately. Hope all is well and hope your enjoying our PA weather. (FYI everyone else, we're getting a front moving thru today. Intermittent rain and humid). Leaving PA next week.... hmmm I don't think that's enough time to get a escort of LS650's together to go to the airport. Jimmer, Fido the Cat, Photo-Joe and any other PA, NJ and DE rider, what do you think, is Esort duty still possible to setup? (KimChirs, we would need times...) 322E233528272D232A27223F460 wrote:
Snake Lady, Philly is Philly. It's sort of like saying all of NY state is like NYC. I lived in PA most my life (50 miles away) and still don't like Philly, so no offense taken. Here's a link to our '08 ride. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1222094506 T Mack |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by skatnbnc on 08/09/11 at 23:39:45 I snuck out and hacked in so you all would know that i am still alive, kicking and just as cabin fever crazy as can be. I want to go home! :'( I have appointments with the surgeon and other docs this week to determine if/when i can be released. I've had several post-surgery complications from trying to jump right back into my usual routine, and now have been set back to zero. For someone used to running ALL the time, this has really been difficult. :P Because of the cabin fever I do go outside for short walks and in general try not to spend too much time in the room. There are multiple open lounges here with lots of books so i rest in those areas to prevent any further room-mate tension with my mom. ::) Serowbot thanks for the Snow White song which i now have in my head...what is UP with those overly-tame forest creatures...kinda creepy if you ask me! ;D Thanks to all who sent cards - they are lined up on the desk in my room along with the silk flowers. :) |

Title: Re: Latest news on Skat.. Post by skatnbnc on 08/10/11 at 00:00:10 One more thing - although i do deeply appreciate ALL the support on the forum, please do no think you need/have to do anything else. Despite the number of posts I put on the forum, I am really rather a private person, and a lot of the things like the escort to the airport idea kind of make me uncomfortable. The extra attention is a little overwhelming. No offense to anyone, just asking for a little respect/room for privacy. :) Keep riding rubber side down; virtual HUGS and thank you. 8-) |

What a relief, and congratulations, you got the 2nd half of your life back! [/quote] Disney has a unique take on nature. The visitor's center at Table Rock Lake had a theater that was looping a Disney nature film on beavers. For those of you outside of North America, I will give a quick description of beavers: The beaver is an aquatic fresh-water mammal with a large, flat tail. It is the largest rodent in North America. This film NEVER mentioned that beavers are rodents! It mentioned that they have continuously growing incisor teeth, one of the key characteristics of rodents. It told about how beavers were good neighbors and great little furry engineers who build dams and nests for their families. It showed lots of footage of beavers being cute and adorable. But, at the risk of repeating myself, it never used the "R" word to describe them! And I oughta know, 'cause I saw that film at least three times! (We were camping, it was really hot, the kids were crabby and the visitors center was air conditioned!) |
