    You guys have made me laugh so hard.  I can sympathize...my husband makes the whole house shake with his snoring!

    Does anyone know if it's ok to have a massage during chemo?  I'm so achy and wondering if a massage would help?

    Hi Mia.  I have a friend on another thread who is going to physical therapy during chemo.  The therapist gives her a butt massage at every session (she said it was weird at first, but now she loves it).  I'm guessing that it would be absolutely fine to get a massage.

    Hugs,

    Karen

    Hi everyone. I have just been reading your comments about men - lol! - you are all so funny and I can relate to all of it! I have always loved time on my own and my partner (who I married 11 years ago, then divorced after 5 years then got back with 4 years ago - so complicated!) and I usually only spend weekends together. He has just left my place as he had one weeks holiday. When we are together it's great but I don't mind being on my own either. I sleep a lot better! He likes to go to bed at 11 or 12 and he snores! Even if I go to bed at midnight I still wake up early and I don't think I sleep as well during the night because I am so used to sleeping on my own! And I have to admit that he is a noisy eater, he slurps his tea and chews noisily but because I don't have to put up with it all the time it doesn't really bother me. This "part-time marriage" type of arrangement suits me perfectly! I have a friend who married a French guy about 10 years ago and she lives in Paris with him. She comes back to Australia for about 3 months of each year and she always says that she wishes she could have a part-time marriage even though she loves him. I think we are all very normal. Every woman I know enjoys time aware from her dh - even when they are crazy about them! And most of the men I know like to get away and go camping or doing "boy-type-things" too. I think it's healthy! When I was single (between marriages for about 10 years) I admit I did get lonely from time to time but the kids kept me busy and I had friends and lots of interests.

    Boy, I can sure relate to the hubbies making noise thing... Mine crunches his breakfast cereal so loud in the mornging that I can hear him down the hallway into the bedroom.... and yes, he snores too.

    Our kids are in college so if he's really snoring loudly and I'm not sleeping well from pain, etc, I just tell him to sleep in our son's room and it's all good. I can still hear him snore through the doorway though. He went to a business conference one weekend with a colleague and that man told me I should get an award for sleeping with him all these years... hahaha... Now hubby requests his own hotel room because he knows he snores loudly. 

    Sheila, I am so glad your Alloderm was finally covered.  My plastic surgeon routinely uses Alloderm to help build the muscle. Mine were so stretched thin that I needed it.  She also told me that using Alloderm makes the recovery less painful.

    Thank goodness my insurance covered it.  It's not considered experiemental anymore, so I think that's why.

    Sue, Ulla, and everyone, you all sound like you are in good spirits in spite of all the misery bootface can bring.

    I'm in pain again; had a fill yesterday that just brought on intense back spasms.  I think it's because I'm getting really full.  Tonight I'm sleeping in my recliner -- using my laptop, because it just hurts to sit up right or lay flat.

    Nite all!

    Hi All,

       Just a quick update before work. My chemo went well yesterday. Came home and slept. 2 down and 4 to go. I'll be happy to see those #s flipped.

       I am so glad I read the posts. Y'all had me laughing and made me feel better. I have to show this to my hubby so he can understand that it is not just me. Even my own voice can grate on my nerves.

       Karen OMG are you sure you're not married to my dad? My mom has the exact same complaints, except that she is the one who moves to the other room. Funny.

       Sue, I do have some weird dreams when I first close my eyes. They're not even clear. Just really weird visions. Hard to explain.

       Check in later after work. Have great day.

    BTW Mia, it is fine to have a massage during chemo. At the center I go to we get a free one hour massage. We were told that if you go to someone personally, to let them know that you are in chemo tx.

    Wren, my PS has used AlloDerm for over 5 yrs in over 30 recon and this is the first time that an insurance company had tried to deny coverage. He was the one who kept pushing the appeals in my behalf, he though did say that he would write off the portion of the bill for the alloderm if the appeals failed.

    I also did get a laugh about the men in our lives. I also have a 'part-time' marriage, my dh is a long haul trucker and home for at least 36 hours a weekend. He usually comes home sometime Friday night or Sat morn and leaves Sunday afternoon to Monday morning. I did get a surprise, he called me last night and said that he would be home about 3:00 am and not go out again until Monday - a three day weekend for him. He snores but I do too and he doesn't let me forget that I snore more than him.

    Ha Ha you guys make me laugh!

    I am having a very hard time emotionaly at the moment. I feel like I took all my emotions in during the last few months and didnt want to get close to anyone but my mother. I am now finding very hard to get those emotions back...

    I dont know if I love my partner anymore... I   love my kids but I cant show it, Im a right mess.

    I am crying alot and am starting to think I might have to tell my partner as he feels the 'vibe'.

    My mum says that I should have cousiling but I think that I dont know how I can look forward to a future with him?

    I dont want to break up my family and my partner is great with everything, I know I am lucky. But is that enough?????

    I just feel very selfish at the moment...

    has anyone else felt like this? Its not that I hate him or argue, I just dont want to be close to him or anything. Its been that way for a while.

    Im really scared of being a single mum

    Wren - completely understand about the pain after a fill.  My left side is an implant and mostly recovered and my right side is an expander since my body pushed out my implant.  I had a fill yesterday and my left boob hurts - go figure instead of my right side where the fill was done.

    Fortunately my dh doesn't snore unless he is really, really tired.  But I can relate - my father and brother in law snore really loud and when we all get together for the holidays and stay with my sis - wow it is amazing anyone get any rest/sleep.

    Evening ladies,

    It is raining like the dickens here - has been all day.  Even the dogs didn't want to walk tonight!!

    Sue - being tired is sooo normal.  I was exhausted when I was going thru chemo and I wasn't working!!  Did they give you anything at the hospital for your mouth?  We have something here called Biotene that helped allot of ladies - not me though - couldn't stand the smell.

    Well, DH is working again tonight - so at least I get some computer time.

    Hi ladies!

    I didn't have a very good day today.  I drove into work at 3:30am, and the roads and highways were horrible!  I am not afraid to drive in bad weather, but it was really bad!  Just a long day at work, and I felt so tired, and my throat was scratchy.  I came home and I have been laying down most of the afternoon.  Just got up to get a few things done around here...and to pop some POPCORN!! I love popcorn.  I figure I should treat myself!!

    My daughter was trying to fly in this afternoon from Chicago, but Ohare a/p cancelled a ton of flights.  Since we travel standby..that was not good!  She is traveling down to Atlanta right now, to fly back up here! Crazy I know..but it will hopefully get her here.  I will have to pick her up at the a/p at about 11pm.  Then back home and off to bed, since I work tomorrow all day..8:30am-7:30pm.  I may see if I can get off early, and go to my g/f house.  She is having a little party, because her marriage is over, and the ass, finally moved out!! So I will celebrate until midnight, with some "knock ya naked" margaurita's!! I have to stop at midnight, to start my clear liquid diet on Sunday.

    Almost all of my markings are gone!! Yikes...well, I guess he will have to redraw everything!

    How is everyone doing this evening?

    Sue...u are probably sleeping by now. Sorry, you didn't have a good day either.

    Mia...yes to massages.  I went to a cancer place and got a few free massages, and boy did they help!  I think I will go back, after I am healed.

    Karen...how did today go?  Do you know anything yet?

    xoxo
