Hi folks - has anyone heard from Bezerk? She has not signed in since 1/20. I have sent her PM's with no response and asked Big Frank to send her an email several weeks ago since her email address is not listed. I am getting quite concerned

I was wondering too and sent her an email a week or so ago and asked how she was doing but didn't get a reply. I am really worried about her.

I've been worried about her for a while. I wish she would either post
herself or have someone else post to tell us she is doing ok.

Me too! I was really hoping that she might log in and see that we are checking in on her, but it has been 3 weeks now.

I thought I would "bump this up" again with hope that she will log in and see it.

I hope she's just lurking around ~ or making fun of us all for being so paranoid. Or better yet ~ ON VACATION!!

Pam just emailed me

Bigfrank,

Sorry to have worried you all so. I have not been on computer in 3 months now.
The chemo did a number on my bones and I was standing in my closet one afternoon and just fell. Did not seem ike a big deal. I waited a few minutes and tried to get up and lo and behold could not. MY hip was defainately fractured along with ?? wrists.

Well this little fall resulted in a total hip replacement due to a severly fractured right hip, and also a fractured right wrist and a badly injured left wrist. I was in hospital for almost two weeks and then had to make all kinds of alterations to house etc. My left wrist is good now, my right is still pretty painful. My hip has done great, I have progressed from a walker to a cane to nothing now. I am slow and adapting but I can walk etc. I am receiving monthly a bone infusion medication Zometa to hopefully help rebuild my bones.

This setback also knocked the spirits out of me for awhile and depression took over. I felt 92 at only 50.

Things are looking up now though it hurts to type. I have over 9000 emails to go thru from not being on computer ( many are spam). I am going to try to clear all this out and get caught up and then I will post the whole story on the forum. Please put a small post for me that I am ok and send my love, appreciation and misses to all.

I fell beg. of Feb and was supposed to go away to Puerto Vallarta the 20th, I feel jinxed.

For the first time my husband has booked a vacation to Ixtapa for end of May to a timeshare we have there. I have not handled it at all so as to not jinx myself LOL. I have my fingers and toes crossed we go as I need to take a vacation and have a happy time for a change it has been a long year filled with doctors, medications, surgeries and complications. Seeems if there is a complication I get it. Two weeks ago I suffered a life threatening drug reaction, only me. We are now saying if it were not for bad luck I would have no luck at all. I hope the tide turns soon.

Thank you to you and everyone on Timeshare Forums, your concern and friendship thru this journey have helped more than anyone will ever know. I have tears of joy right now thinking of how fortunate I am to have such caring, loving, wonderful people in my court.

Thank you again and I'll get back on the forum as soon as possible, but do not worry I am fine, I even have hair growing back and all my tests of late are cancer free ( due again in May).

Many, many hugs,

Pam aka bezerk

Thanks for posting for me Frank......

I pretty much told the whole story in that post. I recover more each day. My spirits are lifting, the concern from this forum helps more than anyone can ever know.

I have finished my chemo but am dealing with some chemo after effects like the bone issue, also a sight issue. I am also dealing with body image changes ( still dealing with reconstruction so will need another surgery), also dealing with a cancer fear syndrome where you become afraid of many things especially being too far from your hospitals or Dr's. Weird huh. I need to get on that first vacation again so I can start enjoying the things I used to and move ahead. The Dr's are rooting I make it to Ixtapa, as they say you have to face these fears or the cancer wins. It has been a long complicated year, May 8th is the date I had my mastectomy. Being a nurse I thought I understood a bit about the cancer journey and also about depression, WRONG. Until you walk in the shoes you have no clue. I am working with my Cancer Dr. to hopefully in the future administer chemo to ex-pats in my area of Mexico ( having to travel the hour into Guad. was hard), I speak their language, am a nurse and know some of what they will experience. I hope it works out.

I am going into the hospital for an overnight or two nighter this Tuesday May 4th for 4 month cancer tests, Zometa treatment and also some investigation into my drug reaction. Hopefully all is NED ( no evidence of disease).

Hubby will arrive next week and hopefully May 15th we are on the road to vacation. Please do not worry if you do not hear from me much in May.

Now all of you pat yourselves on the back, tell yourself what a good person you are and what a good deed you have been doing. You have helped a person ( ME) in need of support, concern, love and hope, and you all gave it so freely and with such love. There is no doubt in my mind that my recovery was helped my all of you. ( I am on many forums and well you all have been the most supportive, I knew when I found this site it was meant for me...LOL

Thank you for standing by me.....Many many hugs. I hope I get to meet many of you one day and give real hugs. Talk soon my cyber family love bezerk ( Pam)

P.S. Hey all this time and I have not won the lottery, what is up with that? Oh yeah you have to play right!!!!

Oh Pam, so happy to hear from you and you are right that we have no clue what a person goes through when they have cancer or any other horrible disease. I am so glad that everyone here helped you so much even if it was from far away.

Let's hope that you will feel so much better and that you are cancer free and the bones are healing again. Enjoy that vacation soon with your hubby and stay in touch.

PS. I got your email too.
