how about drinking?

maryland

Hi girls, I know I've been absent for awhile but here I is! I kinda had this superstition thing going on in my head, like if I didn't get on here to whine about my fears about my PET it would be ok... and tonight at 7:00 I got the word...ALL CLEAR!!! WooHoo!!! No cancer found anywhere else, no other nodes, no mets!! Oh my goodness, what a relief, had 2 cosmos, now drinking my red wine to celebrate! I called my son tonight to tell him I'll be watching our Nora graduate and he started crying. DH cried too, it was a stressful 36 hours. Whew! Now to catch up. I'm gonna see her tomorrow...yea!!

Joey, thanks for the advice, I agree, Nora needs a playpen so mom can take a shower, or pee for that matter, but not to be penned up in for long. Thanks for your advice, I think I'll by it for her. She is so fast and walking the furniture now so she needs to be watched all the time.

Nancy, great pics, we'll be doing rads together, I'll be starting week after next.

Sue, I drink that tea sometimes, works for me, I make it real strong, 2 bags and let it sit till it's cool, hoping things start moving along for you. Glad to hear no news on your tests. Sure you'll be looking bootiful with yer pedi, mani and lashes...oohh..lah..lah!!

Lara, hope the new pain meds help, and I'm so so sorry about your friend. Cancer sucks big time! I hope she finds that it's at an early stage, please keep us informed about her...saying prayers.

Lori, thanks for the DOTD, sorry about your pain. I have a couple of those rice things, Sue is right, they're nice but only last about 10 minutes. I think the energy used in the microwave probably would be more than a heating pad would use... maybe? Thanks for asking Joey, the wise one for advice. Sounds like you'll have plenty of food to get thru the winter. We are getting 2-3 tomatoes/day now and they are yummy! Trying to figure out what to do with the peppers, maybe chili will be next. I've always wanted to try canning, would love to do peaches, may try it one of these days. Oh, and those sunsets!!! Beautiful...

NM, sorry to hear about your patients passing. I hope it was peaceful. I've lost some of my customers to nursing homes since I've been gone but so far none have died. Even the 104 yr old is doing fine, I'll be back in time to see her turn 105. I know u have to work tomorrow to play ketchup, hope you have a nice Sat night and Sun.

PRN, glad u got to spend some quality time with yer DH. Almost done with rads for you..that's so great, time to get back to your life! You sound good.

Dnice, sorry you had a tough week, hope your weekend is fabulous!

4, already Pm'd you, we're both gonna be peachy-keen...let those teens keep waiting on you.

Julie, have fun at Disney World, I've never been there, enjoy your vacay, you've earned it.

Cami, so sorry to hear about your cousin, this damn FURB... sucks. Hope no phone calls tomorrow and hope yer pink (not gray) and smellin" purdy. What's the scent of the day?

Where's wacko????

anybody I missed, have a great Saturday.

I must say so far its working feel like a new women. Up early because I have a paper to write

I talked with my friend yesterday she is very overwhelmed still in shock, It a inch long the tumor she will need chemo and rads shes deciding on the masectomy. Her boyfriend is in it for the long run he says. He actually got in a seriours motercycle accident last month so he will fight make her fight. I told her this is survivior time, it kicks in

My fear is shes very thin and she has more anxiety then me. When they told her she was a lone threw upp was shaking. The doc gave her a PRN walked her to her car, very nice, She has a good team of docs.I said well looks like we can get blue and pink wigs always wanted to try these new shades the young are doing. lol well my mom has a grey strand she loves she says shes dying it pink love ittttttttttt any age.Got her to laugh. Weird we worked tgther for 3 years and she was in my wedding I am devastated. But she will fight she will win this rat bastard.Docs are moving fast and are going to be agressive. We all know they move fast. She wnt back to school like me she is gwtting her MSW grads in May. she is on intern at the wacky noodle place so she told everyone they are being very supportive.

Good morning girls, I'm worried about my right foob. I was doing really well, went to the PS on Wed and he told me I could start jogging. So I went to the metropark and walked with a little jogging 4 miles. It took me an hour so I really was taking it easy. Well ever since I'm having this bad pain on the under/outer side of my foob. It's hurts like a futhermuker every time I move, like I'm being stabbed. The only thing that helps is ice. I hope I didn't tear the pocket that holds the expander. I'm trying to be still and careful now thinking it just needs to heal back up again (I hope). It's the prophy one and only has 150cc in it, the left has 350 and it's fine. I see him again on Wednesday to get a little more put in the left one. They don't want to fill the right till I'm done with rads so it won't be in the way. DH golfing now then we have to go back to my old town for a funeral today. My friend's sister died, she is only a year older than me but battled with drug and alcohol addiction for years and her liver just shut down. Sad, she had 3 kids, grown now, all with different dads and they turned out fantastic in spite of it all. So we're going to go visit Nora first, can't wait to see her again.
Next week is when I was supposed to be able to pick her up again (PS
said 5 wks.) hope I didn't screw that up. 

Lara, I am so sorry about your friend, this is the hardest part, the beginning when you're getting all the tests and you're still trying to digest it all. It comes at you so fast and forever alters your world as we all know. So glad she'll have you for support. Glad your new meds seem to be working, I hope they give you great relief..finally!

Ally, glad you were having fun last night.

Hi Dara...party on!

NM, sorry you're working so hard, maybe you can get an extra day off next week?

Good morning gals! 

Cam, thanks for the DOTD, yummy. I hope you are feeling well and D-free. Did you ever git yer battery for your computer?

Mary, sorry about your friend, glad the kids turned out okay. Sad for them that they lost their Mom so young. ((((Mary)))). and yikes, I hope that pain has nothing to do with the pocket and does not interfere with hold baby Nora time. Speaking of her, waiting for more pics, love that lil goil. 

NM, sorry you have to cover for a call out but know the money will be good. Love your 'tude and good for you in turning down work for tomorrow. Yo and Sadie need your day together. 

Lara, you sound jest maaaavalous, keep up the good work. Sorry to hear about your friend, FUrB is right. I wish the rB could jest stop attacking good people like us. FURB FURB FURB! 

Allyson, nice to see you pop in. Who are those sweet faces with you in your avatar pic? very cute kiddies. 

Julie, I lmao at the Joan Rivers joke about dontating her body for plastic. I never really cared for her and I think her DD is talentless. Joan was always funny back in the day on The Tonight Show but I do not like the way she and Melissa mock people on the red carpet. She did look pretty amazing at 81, iffin I had money to bix mese face, I would use her PS. Hope you have a blast at disney, wish I could be with you. 

I have this odd pain in my back where my lat muscle was taken. It feels like I should have a bigass bruise there but nothing. and my right foob still hurts at times, my trouble spot is on the outside under carriage area of the foob. I just complain my life away. But I am joyous that I am a year out from major surgery, wooo hooo, I will dwink to that! It has been four years of hell and can only git better. I can't wait to git my right foob lifted but nowhere near ready for that pain again. ughhh, I just live with my bra cutting across the foob and when at home, there is NO bra and one saggy foobie. oh well, done complaining.

what is everyone else up to todey? I have a hair appointment, I do color every three weeks now. I portend that I am not old as I hate gray roots showing. Iffen I have somewhere important to go, I will apply my own root touch up. But I suck at it and miss too much to do it myself.

Where is Lori? away again? I do not remember but tink she home now? hmmm. I go fnd her. 

I hope you all have a wonderful day, enjoy these dog days of summer!

cheers from Kansas USA! *CLINK*

Good Morning Ladies----

I just want the newbies to know that my grandson does not read our thread, I read the question to him and set it up then he answers anyway he wants. and submits his stuff--No one reads what we write or how we think, even I get confused. And I don't even read whst he writes (in front of me) til it's on here--so no worries. And the goofy kids takes it seriously. LOL

Genny glad things are going well--and it's Nora time. The best time.

Lara u'r doing better? It's so good to hear. But I am sorry for u'r friend This all sucks

I watched a little of the Stand up to cancer thing last nite, but for some reason I couldn't take it, even tho they are coming up with such new things--but one thing that I thought it's about time, instead of competing for the best of things they all do their research with sharing, if they do that things might come along faster--it should have always been done that way.Then I put Joan Rivers tribute on and realized she had something very similar to and endoscopy and look what happened to my sister--I couldn't help but think that.-So I changed all of that and watched the big bang theory and LOLed, needed too. So I was fine then

So I see some partying went on with wacko as usual--GOOD FOR YOU. We should all take the lead from Daffy Dara.

NM I'm sorry u'r not home today, but tomorrow just relax, the hell with doing stuff.

Julie my confusion knows no bounds--are u going to WDW soon--AGAIN, I hope so, personally I didn't like it much to crowded for my taste but to each her own. And u seem to really enjoy it. So I hope I'm right. But then again when I'm in crowds I want to be chained to people I'm withbut no one goes along with me--so that takes away some fu for me.

I threw a DOTD in, and I had to look that up hahaha--then I thought not everyone can even have grapefruit juice cuz of certain meds. haha. And I love the stuff haven't had it for a long time. Well at least it's not chocolate cuz I'd just take the SE's then.

OK I hope everyone has a super Saturday and I'm truly waving to everyone  right now!!!

Lubs u all

Wife and hubby doing yard work, hubby says 'your arse if huge, well I bet it's wider than that BBQ grill over there!  I'm gonna get the tape and measure"  So he does and says "Yup, your arse is 2" bigger than the bbq!!  You've got a BBQ for a butt!"  Later that night he wants a little lovin, keeps goading her, etc.  She turns to him and says "You're crazy if you think I'm firing up this big arse bbq just for one little wienie!!!"

MemaSue56

Morning DahhhLinks!

Happy Sat-turd-day!!! Our loweee left for Michigan, gonna miss her! 

Mary - good for you for all that exercise but yikes is right, did  you call the on-call or your ps?  I don't think you shud jog until u allll done K?  I am sooo askeerd for your healing.  SOOOOO F'N HAPPY about your PET results...I'm doing da happy dance for ya,

but if all clear how come radiation?  I am hoping to see Maddy, Andrew Michael (AM) and Sommer Nicole on Sunday the 14th, wanna hear all about their school weeks.  I used to can a lot.  Peaches was my fav, not only cuz it was the easiest (to me) but I love em and so does DH.  We cud sit and eat a whole quart each.  LOL   About the Smooth Move, will have to try 2 bags and steep longer cuz ain't nuttin happenin, thanks for the tip.

DarWacko - sounds like  you having way tooo much fun.   Love your cousin, so spashall she able to spend time with you.

Hi Prn, Hi Nancy, Hey there's Aly too. HooRay!!

Hi Dnice - your secret is safe here...we'll not sic ur policeman on ya, unless of course you want him on ya, ok there I go, mind in da gutter, better get out whilst I still can.  Tits up!

Julie - u jes never mind them and go have a wonderful time at Disney, I had to LOL at your addition post too.  Funny!!

Cami - I get that way with TV and yes, good question about Rivers and your sister endoscopy.  Glad you found a show to make you laugh.  And Joey, what a guy.  Very good advice for Mary's Nora.  And yeah, I can't have grapefruit juice either, but Bless you heart for looking for and posting our DOTD!

can't get on online pic to post...so phooey.  Everyone have a gr8 Sa-turd-day!!

ncollett

Mema I love the joke and its so true lol.  (just kidding) 

Julie I love Disney too! Have a great time!

Cami I loved Joan Rivers and was really sad to see she had passed. I wonder though if she was getting more plastic surgery done. Poor thing. Shes had so much. I did love to watch her though. I remember when she was on Johnny Carson.

Hi everyone else, Im having a bad day today. I just dont feel well. I have a headache  and am nauseated  and just really tired. Good thing its raining its a good day for movies. 

camillegal

Nancy I'm sorry u'r having a bad day, just rest and don't move around a lot and drink some gingerale or eat a pie, whatever u want. BTW I don't think Joan R. was having anything for plastic surgery it was an exam for her vocal cords, that's why she wasn't even in a hospital-an easy procedure. Hell nothing's easy as far as I'm concerned.

OK SuzyQ u got me laughin' with that silly joke and u told it very well. I used to be able to tell them, but now I forget the end and make up something that's not even connected to the story and laugh like it's funny. It's surprising how many people will laugh with u or it looks like they don't get the joke. U sound good, hope that's how u feel.

Lara u seem super, this is wonderful.

OK Lori left for MI, how long will she be gone, cuz she might make it down here, I hope. It seemed weeks away WTF have I been doing.?

OK close for now---

 

ncollett

Wow I didnt realize she was going in for an exam on her vocal cords. I feel so bad for her daughter. I took a 3 hour nap but still feel very tired. Not sure why.. Now the sun is out but I just dont feel like going out today. Oh well maybe better day tomorrow. Watching Grand Torino. Good movie but I dont like the ending. 

maryland

Hi goils, feeling much better now, I iced my foob for a long time this ayem then took my pain meds and that stabbing pain is gone. Now just the usual soreness, I think I need to go back to sleeping in the recliner for awhile again. Keeps me on my back instead of my side. Had a good time with Nora. DS was working. Me and DH just played with her for an hour and a half while my DIL got stuff done around the house. Oh she's so much fun, then at the end she started rubbing her eyes and I put her faux-nippy (as my son calls the pacifier) in her mouth and she laid her head on my shoulder and was sound asleep in about 10 seconds. I'm going to go watch her 1 day next week so her mom can go out and do yard work. DH leaving in ayem till Tuesday night. It's been a long time since he traveled.

Sue, I had 10/11 positive nodes which puts me at stage 3c, all with still active cells after chemo. Also, the breast was removed but only had a 1mm clear margin and cells still active in that too. There's a very good chance that I have some micro cells in nodes too small to be seen with a PET scan, it was more to see if I had mets. The radiation will zap the tissue and nodes left and hopefully between that and the AI's we'll get that rat bastard for good, I got a 50/50 shot I figure, the flip of a coin, but I'm feeling positive that I'm gonna see my baby graduate!

Nancy, sorry ur not feeling too great, hope yer better tomorrow. I saw Grand Torino at the theater, it was good, ending was sad though. I loved the old korean lady that lived next store to him. 

Lala, so happy to hear you're feeling better and going to ride a bike! Yea!! Love to hear that!

Cami, thanks for covering the DOTD, I used to drink seabreezes which were grapefruit juice, orange juice and vodka I think, haven't had 1 in years, might have to make myself 1 soon.

NM, see ya tomorrow, hope u get a good nights sleep.

Ok Dara, here's the pics and I'm posting a video to facebook too. Glad yer having fun, I'm drinking red wine, what r u having?

She's growing up so fast!

Good morning,
Loungettes!It has been a long and
eventful week, and weekend, at work. Worked half a day yesterday making visits,
then went out at 9 pm to attend a death.The boss was covering call and was on her way to a town 91 miles north
of here to attend to an emergency, the patient that died was one of mine and
only 9 miles from my house, so I took that visit.Today I am off duty and not even answering
the phone.Going to do ketchup here and
lounge around all day.Thanks to Goldie
and Cammy for the DOTDs!

ORLA--Oh my, I am so
sorry to hear about your friend.So not
fair.So not right.Praying for her and you.

Cammy--computer
problems are the pitts!Especially when
it takes so long to straighten out.

Julie--bummer about
the painful pelvic exam and upcoming ultrasound.Praying for B9 results.

Collett--those are
GREAT pics!Yes, I am a nurse.Boy, you wear a lot of hats, bet it keeps you
busy!

Genny--HOORAYfor a clear PET!Not sure I can get a day off this coming
week, one nurse is off work this coming week, but I am thinking about setting
up a couple long weekends or even a week off this fall.

Dara--I hear you
about the bra coming off when you get home from work.I used to do that, too.Love the not needing a bra now, though!

Cammy--today I am
going to do NOTHING unless I WANT to.So
lots of fetch with Sadie, some dwinkies, lounging in the sun, going to bed
early.

Mema--LOL!!!!!!

Collett--sorry you
are having a bad day, hope it gets better fastliest!

Cammy--good point
about the easy procedure--ALL procedures have risks.My first thought was if she was properly
monitored, overmedicated, or did something unrelated happen--like a heart
attack.Probably we'll never know.

Genny--glad the foob
is better now.Love the Nora story!Great study, too, thanks for sharing!

Good Morning ladies

OK NM good Sunday DOTD and u'r right don't answer the phone today--just do what u want.

Genny good advice bout men LOL And absolutely Nora is getting so big so fast wow she takes such pretty pics and I know she makes u'r day.And the best part is actually it gets better and better which I know it's hard to believe.

Last nite my kids went out and Joey was supposed to go and stay by his cousins while the grown-ups partyed--and he wanted to stay home with me--I told him to go cuz he'll have such fun and he said no he loves when we're home alone and I'm awesome to be with--so so far I still have him, it can't last much longer. But we have such good talks, except about technology as he puts it , it's a hard subject for me to comprehend. And it is. But he tries as he pats my back.

Well I slept OK last nite, but it got really cool and this morning too. So weather is crazy.

Lara - love the 'pacino' post...LOL.  Glad you feeling better and better and even walking...you go girl!

Nancy - you must sleep/rest when you feel like it.  Don't fight it, it'll help with lots of woes. and then of course there is us...Clink a glass or two w/me!

Genny - I get it now about the Rads.  Just wish it was all done now, but I kno...this too shall end.  Nora is jes the cutest of the cutest, thanks for putting smiles on our faces as you share lil Nora!

Cami - I had to practically write it down.  I used to be good with jokes, but not anymore.  In fact I told DH he needs to get me checked for early dementia.  I forgot to turn oven off on Thurs and today left the burner on.  And it's not just those incidents, chit like it happening all the time.  Good for you for taking this time with Joey.  He is just the sweetest and loves you immensely...I can just see him patting your back...makes me smile!

To all I've missed...MUAH MUAH!   DD and her foreign exchange student be here is a few minutes, gotta get ready!  My DS coming too

Lubslubslubslubslubslubs all ya'll!!
