Vickie my dear. WAKE UP!

Nicki

Madison

Good Morning

Charlene, so glad you are home and pain meds are working.

Jankay, so sorry you had a bad day yesterday. I wish you a great Saturday.

Vickie, NO WAY can (or should) you change. We love you for the warn, caring, giving and loving person you are.

Good morning Peter. Have a great day

Nicki, good morning. We took baby daughter out last night to clebrate her 21st birthday. There were 20 of her airman wingmen with us. I tasted a Martini that had a sour apple taste. Can't remember the name. Really good drink.
Those that were legal drinking age order a few drinks that I had never tasted.

Battery running low on Blackberry
(Also my memory)

Sending hugs from Amy to Z

Oh, Marsha so happy you can wrap up in the afghan

And I did see a post from Joanne regarding her afghan. She has such a wonderful spirit.

Gotta go. Battery almost dead

Good morning CG's and G,
Well just packed off my DH and DS for the next week. I'll try to be here more often now that They are not around. Am working Mon thru Sat but will pop in in the evenings.I haven't read up on the last couple days and it drives me nuts to not know how you all are. Will try to work my way thru the posts I missed but will just jump in here for now.
Ok now my whine for the day, or should I say rant? Ever since I was on taxotere I have had some neuropathy in my hands and feet. Now it is not too bad, I am very functional. When walking though I occasionally feel unsteady. This has also prevented my from starting to cycle again. The few times I have ridden my bike I have not felt safe so gave it up. Well last night the reality of side effects really hit home. We went out to dinner and as we were leaving I fell flat on my face in the parking lot. I was so surprised and upset I just bust out it tears. So I'm laying flat out crying my eyes out and scareing the crap out of DH. He's trying to get me up and then I'm feeling all the points of pain. I'm not hurt badly. Lost skin on my right palm and knee and twisted my left ankle. The whole thing just makes me so sad and upset and angry. I'm 47 years old but feel like this past year has aged me 30 years. I'm trying so hard to get strong, lose weight, and just feel physically well again. Last night as I sat there wiping dirt off my face I realised I have so far to go before I do. It makes me so sad and angry.

Good Morning Sisters and Bro

Peter, right now I could take a little below zero (Celsius) weather. We are looking at another week of +30C weather and no rain in sight still. It seems to go all around us. Will probably arrive the weekend of the air show!

All this talk of colonoscopies! YIKES! I told my doctor that the bravest thing I ever did was take the prep (liquid type) any time after the first scope I ever had! You know what is coming, the prep tastes like what is coming, lol, but you do it anyhow! I am not so brave after as I ask not to be awake during the scope because the thought does NOT appeal to me at all and all of the doctors who have done the scopes have been nice and cooperated with that decision.

When I had my diagnosis for breast cancer last year, the surgeon looked at my family history and asked if I was having regular scopes. I told him that as a matter of fact he was doing the scope the following week! I always thought after that I should have asked him if he was a T & A kind of guy as he was working on both those areas!!! Wasn't bold enough for that.

Luck and benign results for all you ladies going through this in the next week.

Jankay, thanks for the laugh. It is always amazing how dumb people can be.

Sherloc, loved the video. Totally amazing. For a while I thought he was doing an underwater scene as it looked like a fish until he turned the board.

Vicki, never change. You are a wonderful lady and we are all blessed to call you friend. Refer to Nicki's bottom line!

AlaskaDeb, so glad to see you back. I hadn't been on the boards for a while and you weren't on for more than 6 pages and I was worried. Glad it was vacation. You are one busy lady.

Charlene, glad the surgery went well. You be careful and don't do too much just because the pain meds make you feel like you can (just had a hyster 6 weeks ago, so I know what I am talking about). Always overestimate the weight of something and get someone else to lift it! Your hubbie sounds like a sweetie.

Hugs and prayers to all for a good day.

Lynn

good morning...i've been up a while but have a sick boy once again...geez..does it ever end. I think its just a bad case of gas, he doesn't have a fever just says his stomach "is killing him". He just went back to sleep on the couch so I'll give it some time and see what happens.

Good night Peter...sleep well.

Good morning all my sunshine sisters and thanks for all your kind words. I won't change. He can take a hike. I liked his kids better than I liked him anyway. We weren't really "dating" per say...we would just do some things as a group since we are both single parents. I supported him through his divorce, problems with the kids, helped him get his second mortgage...just more friends type stuff and last night just really blew me out of the water. I thought it was pretty darn cruel of him. There was no reason to even say such a thing. Anyhooo...good riddance to bad rubbish.
It's actually kinda funny as I was talking with Cheri yesterday about how gullible I am and how I believe everything someone tells me. She said it much nicer than he did...I could agree with her...thanks sister!
Jankay...loved your funny this morning! I really hope you get feeling better and soon. They worked you pretty hard this week in therapy.
Good morning Nicki...hope your day is grand.
Charlene...you sneaky little broad you...get yourself back to bed! Gentle hugs your way and so happy that all went well.
Ok...gotta shower while Nate is sleeping...I'll be back.
Love and hugs all the way around
Vickie

newvickie

good morning Madison, Boo and Lynn...
Boo/Sue...I know just how you feel. I have always been a klutz but the neuropathy has made it worse along with the stiff joints from the Tamoxifen. Feel like I'm 90 not 45. It's discouraging to say the least and I've had my break down moments too but...we are still here...watching the sun rise one more day. Not sure if that helps...some days it does for me and some day it doesn't LOL.
Madison...I won't change...have a grand day
Lynn...referring to Nicki's bottom line LOL..gonna go gather some rocks...I'm actually a pretty good aim.
Say a prayer that Nate wakes up feeling ok ladies. I so hate to have him sick again this week. He never gets sick and he's had enough.
Love all
Vickie

This is a great picture of what my dog "Mister" looks like. We finished our walk, or should I say run. He pulled me all the way and I was almost at a jogging pace.

The dog certainly knows my routine. He figured out no work today for me and was crying while I was getting dressed. He knew it was walk time.

Good Morning to Madison, Boo, Vickie, and Lynn! Im just checking in. Next plan for the day is to walk to 7/11 to get a newspaper. At my own pace,not my dogs.

Peter: Mister is 5 years old. Half black lab, half border collie and all monster!!

Now off to the store for a morning paper.

Hubby just left for work so I'm up early - some bird was outside making noise, sounded like a chain hitting a wall, very irritating at 5:30 a.m.

Lynn48, good to see you again. Congrats on the clear mammo.

Marsha, I saw the new thread but havent had a chance to check it out but I will.

Cheri, you driving the magic carpet on Monday for us to be with Karen?

Karen, sorry things are so stressful for you right now.

Betty, welcome back - you were missed.

EachDay, a woman after my own heart - a cosmo.....they have to be just right though - teensie ice chips in the glass and an extremely icy glass......now that's a cosmo. I see you packed pink panties - are you taking a trip somewhere and I missed it?

Vickie, I think you are one of the nicest people I "know." If he thinks you are too nice, gullible, etc., then it's his loss. I don't want you to change at all. Remember, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince.

Karl, thanks for the update on Charlene. Let her know we're thinking of her.

Odalys, did I miss wedding pics?

Deb, you are one busy woman - got tired just reading what you have to do in the next week. Glad you had fun on your camping trip.

Jankay, I hope this next week goes better for you.

Charlene, glad you snuck on to say hi. Right after I came home from my bilateral surgery, hubby left me on the coach and went to do an errand. As soon as he left, I got my pillow and went to the computer chair to let everyone know how I was faring. I heard hubby's car alarm so I knew he was home, left the computer, and got back on the couch, but had left my pillow on the chair and couldn't get back up and walk fast enough to get the pillow and be back before he walked in the door. He walked in and saw my pillow there and told me how busted I was.

Nickie, I read Bush is getting one too. I've always put it off because I've had stomach issues for years (I have IBS) and I always worried they'd find something. However, hubby is relentless about bugging me so I just decided to do it. Now my sister is changing her mind about going so I guess it's just going to be me there next Thursday. I need the magic carpet.

Jeannie, I hate having to spend money on cars. Fortunately, hubby is a car man all the way so we don't have to do it very often.

Madison, how hard is it to type on a Blackberry? I had a Blackberry Pearl cell phone and couldn't use it; I seem to have a problem with my nails.

Boo/Sue, I'm so sorry about the fall last night, and I know what it's like because I did almost the same thing, not once, but twice, but I broke my ankle and then resprained the same ankle. I started upping the calcium after that. I started an exercise boot camp so that I could get stronger, lose weight and feel physically better. Some days it is better than others but like Vickie said - we're still here watching another day.

Ok, time to get another cup of coffee, check out the new thread, and start my day. Love to all from Amy to Z.

Margaret

Good Morning!

I want to stay and read and play with all of you..........but as I sit here in my robe and wet hair........the clock is ticking. Have to leave here in 45 minutes for the 'family reunion'............Can you tell I'm excited?
Have to take the time to Thank Karl for letting us know about Charlene. Karl, if you're out there.....I think I just fell in love! You don't mind a wacky, married, older woman do you??!!
Have so much to say to all of you..........but gotta run for now.
Cheri: I loved your dialog of the "I dunno" about the family reunion!
Gotta go 'powder' my face and get ready for all the fake hugs and kisses that go along with it!
Sad to say.......I talk like this about the 'family reunion', yet I CAN'T WAIT for our FAMILY REUNION in a couple of weeks!!
Peter: That picture for Vickie is just to "scary!"

Gotta go........

Hugs,
Denise

CYBER MONSTER IS OUT

BEWARE

Jankay: Found a cyber monster that like to eat posts!

Margaret: Too bad your sister is having second thoughts. I know as a nurse - a colonoscopy is as important as a mammogram. Dont you worry, we will be with you. Maybe I will put it on my agenda for the Winter.

Denise: ahahahaha pj's and wet hair. Your enthusiasm is hmmm let me say - overwhelmng, not! Bet you end up having fun though.

I wonder if Peter finially went to bed. He sure was up late this morning.

Now I must be off - I have 2 baby blankets to make by August 18th and I have only just begun. catch up with ya all later.

Nicki

jankay

good nicki
ssee if u can put him in cage

SoCalLisa

I have to run..but just a word of two on colonoscopies since I have had three since my BC, DX...you can avoid drinking the big bottle of prep by just saying you will throw the whole thing up and it will be a wash..they gave me the little bottle plus the pills...all three times..twice I did not have any meds and that is NOT the way to go..ask for Versad or whatever...I had that the last time and what a difference..I did have three precancerous polyps which they plucked off and the only treatment was to have a colonoscopy after two years and another after three if all is clear..
Nuf said!!

Charlene..so glad you checked in..we were all sending you hugs across the miles..

I will be back later..having my Vanilla Nut coffee with Kalua flavored no sugar syrup in it..ymmmmmmm

Going to meet our fellow BCOers for lunch

Good morning/night everyone. I see everyone has been busy chatting again. I so love it when I come in and see that everyone is keeping in touch.

I've read a bit, but didn't take notes. I woke up very late and need to get busy.

I did get some super things on sale yesterday and now I need to find a suitcase to try to start packing for Pinkstock. I am so ready, excited and a bit freaked about the flying alone thing.

Nicki - I would love to meet you. I'll get with you next week and let you know my flight details. I just can't imagine being in Chicago and not getting to meet you.

Okay, off to shower and get ready to work some more.

Love ya guys,
Liz

Gus

Well, it is my 3 year cancerversary today, and I want you all to know how much you have enriched my life. I wish that I had never had a reason to come to this site, but I feel blessed to have "met" all of you. Thank you for sharing your lives with me, for extending your hands in friendship, and for helping me to heal emotionally. I will always be grateful, and I love you all to bits!

Hubby is taking me out to celebrate tonight, and I will raise a glass to all of us! Have a wonderful day!

Love to all, from A to Z
Sue

Hi everyone,

I was on yesterday noonish. I got on today to discover about 5 new pages. Wow!!

Nicki - Regarding recurrance-lately I feel like Russell Crowe in "A Beautiful Mind" when he is walking around and living his life with those people following him that no one else can see. Recurrance is sitting in the corner stalking me. My husband told me he thought I was a little bit crazy when I told him that.
MargaretB-I would love to have a job 9-2, but I can't seem to find any part-time jobs anywhere. I think there is a huge untapped market of college educated hard workers out there that want to be home for their children and unfortunately the choices are work full time or don't work.
Everyone-thanks for all the welcomes!
Shannon

Happy day campers. It's a beautiful sunshiney day. I say we all go to the lake.

EachDay, why thank you very much. The feeling is mutual my dear.

Margaret, you make a snazzy cheerleader.

Welcome Home Deb. Glad you had a good time.

Charlene get thee and the new girls back in bed.

Jankay, I'm sorry you had a bad week. The Darwin Awards crack me up.

Nicki, I thought it was funny. That video was cool wasn't it. Hope you and Mister had a lovely walk.

Peter, very cool. I've always wanted to be somebodys BRO!! Sweet dreams.

Madison, happy birthday to your flygirl. If you liked the Appletini you would LOVE a Lemondrop.

Boo/Sue.....great big hugs for you hon. Aren't there meds you can take for the neuropathy?

Lynn, I thought he was painting some kind of dragon. I get my plumbing checked end of next month. Hearing you all say your docs said we are at higher risks is making me just a bit annoyed with mine.

Vicki, praying for Nate. Poor boy has had a crummy week.

Nicki, Mister is beautiful.

Margaret, BUSTED!!!! to funny.
tell your sis she is not allowed to change her mind.

Denise, ummmm I think Charlene might have an issue with you moving in on her man.
Hope you have a good time today in spite of family.

Socal, I didn't get any pills even tho I asked for them. Surgeon said he doesn't like to use them. I got two little bottles. Directions say to mix it with gatorade. Told him I wanted to be completely out or I'm not doing it.

Good Morning Liz, your gonna do just fine flying alone. It's a grand adventure.

Happy Cancerversary Sue. A toast to you.

Back to working on pics. I've gone thru over two hunderd disks so far. Yikes thats a lot of pictures. Still have about 50 left.

sherloc

Hi Shannon hope your having a grand day.

Anonymous

Liz: Packing for Pinkstock. Sounds like alot of fun.

Gus/Sue: Doing the happy dnace with you.



Shannon: What a good description using "A Beautiful Mind." We think alike. I always say I can still hear bc whispering in my ear.

Sherloc: I thought the videa was really cooooooool. When I had dial up, I never got to enjoy any of the youtube posts. Like Cheri said, it would take 1 hour or more to upload it. Glad I have comcast now. At the end of the videa I just went WOW!

Boo: I forgot to mention to you that I had taxotere and when I walk my toes get numb. Sometimes I walk awkward too. I had a fall myself a couple of months ago. Tried to avoid stepping on the dog. Fell flat on my face hitting my eye and my chin bounced twice. I saw stars! It was the middle of the night and I just layed there for a while and cried my eyes out - thank goodness I was alone and not in a big parking lot.

Yesterday I had one of those post chemo fatigue days. Just couldnt do anything and had to come home early. People ask me are you ok - and what do I tell them? They now find it hard to believe Im still having post chemo issues. Had my first chemo almost 2 years ago on 7-26-05.

Sending you big hugs!



Nicki

OK - gota some weeds to pull. See ya later.

Nicki

Odalys

Good morning/afternoon/evening friends. Just a little disoriented and slow this morning but really glad it's Saturday. DH is out of town today so I am alone with Steven, sure hope I can keep up.

Sue - Happy 3 year cancerversay!!!!! How is your son doing? Have you gotten anywhere with the insurance company? I thought you might like to know, my stepson just got a weekend job at Burger King. This is the same autistic child who could barely speak. We are very proud of him and all the progress his made.

BBL....

Gus

Odalys,

It is so encouraging to hear such positive news about your stepson. Thank you!

My son is doing well, but I am starting to see some signs of stress as the school year approaches. I am very nervous about sending him off to first grade, but I am putting on my poker face and trying hard to hide my fear from him. I have collected mountains of evidence to support my claim with the insurance company, and it looks like we are making some progress. I feel more positive about my chances of getting his therapy approved this time. Thanks for asking about him.

Hugs,
Sue

sherloc

Nicki, been there done that with dial up.
You tell them most days your grand, some days your not so grand.

Just wanted to share a bit of my trip down memory lane with my buds.
daughter and bridesmaids. One last slumber party before becoming a grown up. Wedding Day.


All dressed up and ready to rock. I made the bridesmaid and flower girls dresses


This is the day after the wedding. The church had no place pretty for pics so the photographer took them to the beach the next day. Her dress was trashed by the end of the day.

SoCalLisa

Speaking of falling down with neuropathy..has anyone else had the problem of dropping things??

lizws

Gorgeous pics Sher!

Lisa - I don't have neuropathy, but do drop things.

Back to work. UGH
