    Karen , remember your mom is in the 80% group. This is just so upsetting. You're right , you have had a horrible day. I'm praying for your mom. I'm gonna light a candle for you , your mom and sweet Tinker. If I could be with you right now , I'd give you a big hug and we could cry together. Karen , you are so special to me. I just wish I could take away your pain and worry. Maybe have a glass of wine and try to calm down. I love you Karen. xxxx Mel

    Her name's Ella.  She's being really strong, but I know she's worried.  She cried more about Tinker than she did about her own situation.

    Oh ((((((((((Karen)))))))))), I am so very sorry to hear about poor little Tinker. Your heart must be breaking. She is at peace now, no more discomfort and she slipped away knowing how much she was loved.

    It's just horrible that you also have this worry over your dear mother. My prayers and best wishes that the biopsy will come back benign. How long will it be before you find out? It is sure to be in the 80% as Mel says. Love to you dear, sweet Karen

    Karen, my heart is breaking right along with yours. It was clear that Tinker's time was drawing to a close, but that doesn't help. Old or young, it's never easy to lose a precious furbaby. I'm so sorry. When is you mom's biopsy going to be? We'll all be there with her singing a lovely B9 lullabye. How much more can you take? However much more is given to you. You will survive. You will also be given joy. Through both you will be buoyed by the love of your sisters here and of your family and friends there. Allow us to hold you a while. RIP dear Tinker.

    Thank you everyone, for the kind words.  I didn't sleep well last night, and I feel horrible this morning.  My friend, Lisa, is picking me up later this morning.  She's taking me out for an early birthday lunch, and then we're going to the Seattle Flower and Garden Show.  I wish I felt better, but hopefully, this will take my mind off everything.

    I'm sorry that I didn't welcome you yesterday, Sue (Suecco).  I've read some of your posts on the mets board.  I'm so sorry about your husband.  Men are such total a$$holes sometimes!  You really deserve so much better than him.  Jerk!!!!!!!!  You've come to a great place for love and support.  Welcome!

    Love and hugs to all,

    Karen

    My mom hasn't scheduled the biopsy yet, Judie.  I'll let you know when it is, once she schedules an appointment.

    Hugs,

    Karen, I am sorry to hear about Tinker.  I am also sorry to hear about your mom.  Please remeber God is always with you and he will help you through all of this.   We are all here for you also. 

    SueCCO, welcome to our thread.  I don't write very often but I do read.  To my other Sue, Did you go to the doctor.  Are you OK.  How was your visit with your dad.

    Mel, you have the cutest pics and are such an encourager,  Cathy you are to funny.  Hey every man needs a woman even it doesn't admit it out loud.  Good job on the sell of the car. Lisa, I am proud of you - you go girl.  Let us hear about the dates. 

    Well, to let you guys in on what's been happening.  I went to the Rhuematoid doctor on Thursday like I was asked to do back in December - this was his first appointment taht was opened.  He was a nice doctor but he bothered me a little because he fussed at me regarding my pain.  He thought I was hurting more than I was saying - facial expressions and body language - I guess.  So I responded with - I don't want to take any more medicine and like an ostritch, if I close my eyes to this it won't be true.  I have never had an elevated ANA test until now and that was a little worrisome according to him and then again it may be nothing.  He drew 8 vials of blood and did several x-rays.  I am to go back to see him in 3-18-09 - if I remember.  My boss reminded me of this visit.  I now have a bad cold or the flu but I am taking medicine for sinuses so I should be better soon.  I am working at home this weekend so that's even better. LOL.

    To everyone a big Hello and I hope all is well.  Nettie, I love the Scottish accent on your words, it's great.

    AE, congrats on another sucessful anniversary!

    Karen, I'm so, so sorry about Tinker. Even when we see it coming, we can't prepare ourselves for the loss.

    Sueps...are you back from your visit with your Dad?

    Sueco...I hope things are on a more even keel around the homefront. What have you decided about Paris? 

    Leesa, you know we get so wrapped up in bc and it's insidious long term effects, we sometimes forget about other things that can wrong with us. But that doesn't mean we can ignore them. They can be just as debilitating as bc. So continue with the rh dr...and listen to him.

    My trial and tribulation lately has been my 17 yo daughter. She thinks because she's in this special program at school and is attending the local college instead of her senior year in high school, she can run around with the college kids and keep the same hours, etc. I had to lay down the law this morning (BIG talk, lots of stern words) after she broke her midnight curfew AGAIN.

    I hate to say it, but at the end of our "talk" I used the words, "Just wait until YOU have children. Then you'll understand the way a parent feels."

    She doesn't understand why I just don't go to sleep and not worry about her being out. Sheesh! I guess some things just can't be explained. She'll have to learn it when she's a parent. Hence, my words to her.

    But we had a nice afternoon shopping. Just groceries and local errands. Sometimes, things feel good after a storm.

    I saw my onc this week, and no news is good news when it comes to that. (That's not denial, it's just the state where only bad news earns a call from his office.)

    Ladies of the Northern Hemisphere...Spring is almost here!  And Jane, your beastly hot summer is almost over.

    Hugs to all.

    Thank you so much for the compliment Makraz,  I don't know about looking youmger than you though,  I actually have 4 grandchildren 2 here in Fl, 2 in NY, but I did have my daughters young.

    Dear Karen, I am so sorry for the sadness you are dealing with today, your mom is in my thoughts and prayers,  and I know its not much comfort, but Tinker is now chasing rainbows on the Yellow brick road, I bet he has found the most Yummy -Yummy bone already and just feasting like a king. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

    Nancy, thank you for the kind words.  I just get tired of going - not that I dnon't want to be better, I have other things that need to be done and sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my time but I do know it's for the best. 

    I am sorry to hear about you and your daughter.  Growing up is very hard.  They want to be all grown up but deep down they still want to be a little girl.  We went through all of that with our daughter along with a few other things but she and I are now pretty close and we talk about everything.  The teenage crises do go away eventually, just hang in there.  I know it rips your heart apart when you are going through it but as my daughter tolde me recently she was glad I put my foot down and yes now she understands, due to her children, she said that she knew that I really loved her and wanted her to be safe.  Her friend's parents didn't treat them that way.  I'm just glad she undestands now.  Well, all five of my grand babies are here, got to go.

    towhee (i can't remember your 'real' name). It isn't crazy to want to make a quilt out of your son's shirts. Everytime you see that crazy quilt from his shirts you will think of him. My aunt (father's sister) gave my mom some of her mother's cotton day dresses to make quilted wall hanging out of them for her to hang in her house. We have pieces of a quilt that my great-great-great grandmother pieced together when she was on a ship from England coming to America as a bond servant to do sewing for a rich American family.

    Ok, let me see if I got this straight - Sue - you went to the doctors? What did he give you? You probably need a sleeve.  Ask you onky.

     Sorry to say the bones will ache. I take glucosimine (sp) and magnesuim. It takes a few weeks to kick in but it helps.

    I had terrible bone aches durring chemo as well especialy in my hips.But after treatments were done it has gotten much better.  My hands are the only joints that are bad now. I think the hand issues started after I started taking the tamoxefin.Sometimes my thumbjoints lock up and really spoil my days activities.
