Barb Hensongispsaca

Barb Hensongispsaca: For those of you that know me and are concerned, the MRI came back negative so now they are planning to try a nerve block at the base of my skull. Ice packs help me function but nothing takes the pain away and I refuse to become a walking zombie on drugs. Thank you for your prayers and for caring. 'Jasper Hill' is still running rampant in my blood stream but God is good and we are still fighting it. I love you all.

Barb Hensongispsaca: I apologize for not reviewing as I should and not posting as usual. I am fighting a cluster migraine headache that will not respond to medication and no one seems to find the source. It is going on two weeks now and I have an MRI scheduled for Tuesday. I hope to be back reviewing soon. Thank you dear friends

Barb Hensongispsaca: My love to everyone, friends and those I have never met. I heard about Dean and I don't want another day to go by without saying that.

Barb Hensongispsaca: I don't know how many of you remember my poem of Jasper Hill. That is the name I gave to my cancer so that I would feel more in control of the situation. Well, Jasper Hill has reared his ugly head again and I will be gone for a little while to get control of my life again. My love to all of you and my thanks for all you do to help me in my writing endeavor.

Barb Hensongispsaca: Thank you, everyone, for your kind thoughts and prayers. I have felt your strength and I am very appreciative. You don't know what true friendship is until you witness what is in their hearts and thoughts. Jasper Hill and I are coexisting but someday I hope to move him out. Until then, I have to keep writing. Maybe only a few a month, but my thoughts need a release and my mind needs a place to put them.

A lone flower standing in the field, is truly never alone.

Barb Hensongispsaca: I just wanted to thank everyone for the birthday wishes and for those I did not respond to, I did not realize there was a limit on sending personal messages so I could not respond. The cats have given me my present of a clean house, no toilet paper spread to the door, no papers spread around and out of order, no nuggets left for me to step on, no cat toys in my path making me think I stepped on a tail, no dry cat food underfoot, no water trailing from the toilet from random thirst that the fountain did not satisfy.
It has been great.
