i believe Portann is DONE!!! *whips up some cool moves*

it's true, sometimes it seems that the farther you are down the road, the harder it becomes to make it there to that finish line.  so close, yet so far away...

Dear Portann,

Thank you *so much* for always being here to give me the encouragement to move on.  It is always wonderful to have people who understand and care about you all the time, you're like a parent to me.  None of my posts went without a reply from you.  Your achievement means so much to us all.  It has shown me that there is a finish line, and it is possible to make it through.

Thank You for the Inspiration you have given us all,
Lala

Woo-Hoo!!!  DONE!!
I'm so glad you made it through (was a little scary there at week 12)
Now enjoy the sunshine, your garden, the wedding and all the
wonderful things in life.
(Those red heels can also aerate the soil in your garden)  hehe
I'll never forget you and I wish you only the best--
always....

I'm so glad to know that you're done treatment.  There were times when you were on my mind quite a bit.  It's such a relief to know that you can now focus on recovery.  I'll be part of the cheering crowd waiting on your PCR's and here to see you all the way through to the other side.  

Enjoy the moment, Port!!  Well-earned!

  "The red high-heeled shoes in bed is quite a visual image...one that I'm sure the guys would like a pic of.  :) "     I sure would !!
Btw what more are you wearing in bed? What are you wearing right now?
Perhaps we  can continue this conversation over the phone !!!

But I guess its solo and exclusively your husbands joy and amusement though lol.

Seriously what a relief finished at last ,and it was extra tuff the last months.

I remember when you were new here your thoughts made me fly high, then the meds come in heavier and you didn`t make me fly just as high but still you made me fly, not many people do that you know.
Your a high spirited person and will always be the eaglewoman to me.

Good God blessings more than a lot I wish for you and your dear ones.

Much love.

I want to congratulate you on a job well done; now, what was that about red high heels in bed? That thought causes *me* to have a heated moment :o)!

Take excellent care of yourself; your caring thoughts and words in here have been precious to so many.

Be well, and all the best to you—

Dear friends,

I'm so touched I think I'm dissolving.

Or is that the below ten hemoglobin acting up again?

Honestly, my face is wrinkling up not knowing if laughter or tears are on the way.

How do you explain to family that you love them but the forum is where you need to be?  I couldn't have pushed through to the end without you.  I know many of you believe me because you feel the same.

Even heated moments on the forum made me feel engaged and alive, and ironically helped the days go faster.  Not that I recommend heated moments.

I can't believe I'm done and can't explain to you how I could be.  There were days in the middle of tx when I didn't feel I could continue.  

And here I stand, not wearing the wonderful red shoes (gosh, I almost fell down in them going to the bathroom) but feeling like job well done, unknown results pending.  And that is enough right now to make me happy.

What I can tell those that may be feeling the road ahead is too long is that it will startle you that it comes so soon.

Thank you so much.

Congratulations on a long road well traveled!  I am proud of you.  The red high-heeled shoes in bed is quite a visual image...one that I'm sure the guys would like a pic of.  :)   Now that TX is over (or will be after your last riba next week) maybe you can make plans to climb a real mountain in those red high-heeled shoes.  :)

But I also have to giggle at Port-a-pot...  Maybe that's been used before but it's the first time it caught my attention...lmao!

Congrats again my friend.
