Sue, I too am jealous of Cathi's beach. It has been warm here but in the mtns there is a great lack of beach front property .  The weather man is calling for more showers tonight and through the rest of the week but we did have a gorgeous Saturday and Sunday.

The Relay for Life was postphoned from Friday night to Saturday night because of predicted storms on Friday night. I didn't have storms at my house but the high school where it was to be held got some stormy weather so it was a good thing that they delayed it. Although I was obligated to go to the women's group meeting at church Saturday evening so I missed the relay for life (again - 2 yrs in a row).

Jule, great news on the clear mammo and David's infection improving.

It is almost time to go home. See you tomorrow.

Yeah Jule - GREAT news for both you and David.

Yuck Sue nausea is not fun at all.   Come on over to my beach any time you want. My door is always open.  I think you are still learning to deal with (what we all have too now) the "NEW NORMAL"  I kind of hate that expression,  I know what you me though about wondering where "you went" this stupid bootface has changed us,  sometimes not for the good,  just have to take it as it comes, good days and bad days,  good emotions, bad emotions,  fall down and get right back up again and kick A$$.  So kick some "Bloddy Bootdace A$$" xoxoxoxox

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Yay, Jule!!!!  I'm so relieved for you!  Yay for David too!

((((((((Cheryl))))))))  You hang in there, hon!  That red devil is EVIL, isn't it? 

Aw, Sue.  I'm sorry you're nauseous.  I feel like that quite a bit too.  I can totally relate to what you said--I just want to feel GOOD again.  I've pretty much felt like shit since my chemo.  It's got to get better, doesn't it??

Well, it's another beautiful day here (the temps are back down in the 70's, thank goodness).  I should go water my hanging baskets.

Love and hugs to all,

Karen

Well, they've been pretty much avoiding one another, Barbe.  I think last night was the first time they actually spoke.  Two more years.  I just have to focus on that---only two more years and she'll graduate from HS and go do her thing (if she can figure out what that is).

Hugs,

Karen

Ladies (and UB), our dear Fumi needs your prayers.  Her father has been diagnosed with inoperable colon cancer.  If he makes it through the next seven days, his doctor has given him six months to live.  Please pray for her family.  I'm sure some PM's would be appreciated as well.

Hugs,

Karen

I saw her message on FB, I feel so bad for her,   This cancer crap has got to stop.

portiasproudmom

Your welcome, Sheila.  I knew those of you who aren't on FB would want to know.

EWB

So who is the magic link for facebook? I finally joined and set up (sort of) my page but don't really know what to DO with it?!

Elaine

Makratz

Karen the hip and leg  - not sure how to explain,  it's not even what really is "PAIN" to me,  I have a constant deep - deep ache -  it feels more like muscle then the bone,  some days it is good, I can deal with it quite well,  I finally got some coated asprin,  aside from the pain meds onco prescribed thats all that seems to give relief when its at its worse,  he so wants me to schedule the PET/BONE/MRI scan,  But NOPE not gonna do it right now (he's not at all happy with me).   I am quite happy living with my head in the sand or up my A$$ for right now.  I fiqure for the last 3 years I have done everything in my power to "kill" the beast,  and IF it has decided to rear it's ugly head again -  I am gonna live it up this summer with my family,  theres a pla out there for me that I have NO control over obviously  - even amputating my body may not have made a diffrence  - so now It's ME Time FOR AWHILE.  

Life is after all about QUALITY - not Quanity.   So when I have to I take the script  - and sleep half the day away,  or several Marguaritas on the beach is great for pain control too. LOL

Makratz

Cathi, great attitude, but please get checked out when the summer fun is over.  Wait a minute, the summer fun is never over where you live!  Come to Boston for the winter.

barbe1958

I was awake for only 6 hours on my day off yesterday. I, too have to sleep the pain away so I know what you mean Cathi! {{{{{{{{{ Cathi }}}}}}}}}

Makratz

I think we all need to go out for marguarita's!

hollyann

Cathi You're 49 ?????......NO FREAKIN WAY!......I hope I look that good in 4 years!......And a grandmother of 4?.....Holy cow, you look like MAHVELOUS!!!......I need Florida sun too~....Maybe it will take away this pasty rainy Georgia look!.......'I am PM'ing Fumi right now to support her...The Good Lord knows she has supported enough of us over the years she really needs us right now......

1Cathi

Linda  I said when I moved here I would never go north in the winter unless it was an emergency. Ed's sis in PA always trys to get us up there to see snow again -  we both say NO WAY-  we grew up in it, both hated it, could care less.  I will have the tests run after the summer is over.

Yeah Barbe, I have to sleep the pain and or the pain meds off, I did end up taking one yesturday and at 3:30 I had to crash for a few hours. 

And yes HollyAnn I will be 49 next Saturday - sometimes I don't even believe it.

Cathi, you are not much older than I am, I will be 49 in October. I was shocked last weekend when somebody told me that they couldn't believe that I had a son who will be 24 on June 16th. Even with the silver highlights that the Lord has put in my hair I don't think I look my age either. Although I did get a new battery for my scales and I didn't like what they told me this morning.

Sue I'll send you a copy of my birth certificate -LOL.

I think that some of our aches and pains are caused by the treatments, meds, surgeries, BC in general,  and then there are those normal " growing pains"  only now I guess they are normal "growing older pains"  perimenopause, menopause it does play with your body and mind.

Sue standing on your feet all day surley does play apart in your aches and pains,  do you have good shoes?  I have alwways been a show junkie,  I would be ashamed to tell you how many pairs I have that have never been worn or worn only once,  99% have heels,  all of my friends have always made jokes that I would have heels on to play football,  but as each year goes on wearing heels gets harder and harder.   So heres to us growing Older (with normal aches and pains) not Growing sicker.

sueps

((((Barbe))))  Awwwww Barbe thats just not on is it... stupid pain ... terrible.... downright disgrace that so much is inflicted.... MAKES ME MAD!!

Barbe ... I am glad we have you as a sister .... you keep us going and so see my hand ... I am waving my 2 finger salute to your pain...!!!!

 Maybe I have athritis...

DOES CHEMO DAMAGE YOUR BONES

DOES MENOPAUSE DAMGE YOUR BONES

barbe1958

Thanks Sue, but I only see one finger waving...and it's the right one!
