Two months ago, Pam did something really incredible for me at the same as she told me about the tumor.
I loved what she told me that day - "I have done so many of the things in my life I wanted to do..." How many of us can say that as we face our own mortality? I am with Rob in the hope that the devil says "oh crap, Pam's up" for many years.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and thoughts. i am SURE i get more out of Punaweb and the Puna Ohana we have made than I give!!!! AND what I did for KapohoCat was minor, not huge or incredible.... I promise. Just another Punawebber sharing.....

Pam, May God's blessings pour over you during the surgery and the recovery time. I haven't been here on PW for over a month and am grieved to hear the news of your health issues. We've never met in person but I think of you as a trusted friend I want to meet one day! If you have needs, please let them be known. I would love to help if I can!
I also wish Rob would put a "like" feature on this so I can "like" his comment.

In the first year of our marriage April was diagnosed with a brain tumor. We removed it and she was back on her feet in about 2 weeks. God be with you Pam, there are plenty of people who you don't even know that will pray for your recovery.

You all may as well know, I was diagnosed with my first brain tumor at the age of 34. I had it removed, fought my back to a life of activity and adventure. After losing memory I returned to college, got a new career in nursing and eventualy went on to aother university degree. I took up my career in the ICU and did well. Then went on to have the tumor begin to regrow and just make the adjustments necessary. I stopped working at one point after doing disability claims for the VA and took up scuba diving at almost 40. I got 500 dives under my belt, mostly in the kelp beds off southern California, becoming kown as the Lobster Lady. It was great fun and we lived on seafood as I dove probably 3 or 4 days a week minimum. My next adventure included selling off the house in California and buying 30 acres in the rain forest of Hawaii. Had only lived on a beach and in the suburbs so it was truly a new adventure. I designed and had this house built, arriving here 2 years before hubby. I have certainly made a lot of mistakes but it has been such a wonderful adventure, learning not only about a rural life but also being part of the Punaweb community, making the great journey to Thailand and the things I did there. We have been taken advantage of but more often just met and shared life with wonderful people.
Now I am part of a "Village" that didn't exsit 10 years ago so we have all benefited by the adventure. The truth is that many of you have shared that adventure on your own level and it does my heart good to see everyone come together. Because this is now a situation of cancer we don't know what my recovery probabilities are but the possibilities are endless. So many of you have asked what you can do to help. Right now I just don't know because I don't know when I will be back home from Honolulu. It just depends on how things go. However, we are in the phone book.. Bob Lamont... 968 1479 and messages can be left. The BIG things I imagine are going to be the very boring, mundane daily details of cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. We have a wonderful caretaker couple, Michael and Wendy, who will keep the animals and greenhouse running. I am sure the garden will be lost this year but he can't do it all. Husband works full time as teacher so he does his best at meals, etc... Right now I am weak and bedridden much o the time. It's fine. Just resting up, reading and preparing mentally and emotioally for the 28th. It's all good. So, again, thank you to everyone for your warm messages, your recgnition of my efforts over the past years to help build our Punaweb Community and your offers of help should it be needed. You ar my VILLAGE and I have come to learn to trust that my village will care for me if and how it can. I look forward to seeing you all over time. Once someone "takes over' coordinating things here, you will coordinate through them and it will be grand for visitors to see our little piece f paradise whether they contribute or just observe. We have loved sharing it with all of you. thank you all for your warmth and making me feel both hope in general and like i belong.
