Hooray for good news! ♪♫♪♪♫♫
You can get heel spurs associated with plantar fasciitis - inflammation of the plantar fascia. It can take a long time to go away. Good to know that the spurs can go away too. I wouldn't have thought that a spur would go away. Glad yours did.
I didn't run.
My foot hurts anyway. I thought maybe I'd run later, but now I'm not sure I should. I'll have to do the elliptical. I need to get into a routine. I need to lose weight!
Hope everyone got outside today.
-
YAY I love good news. I am going to give blood tomorrow, the ARC Bloodmobile will be parked in the back lot of our building.
-
Deb...You are doing something good.
Even if I wasnt DX with BC couldnt do it.
Is this your first time?
-
Last time I donated was 35 years ago.
-
I asked my onc and she said sure. The only thing is someone will be getting blood with no estrogen, LOL
-
I was told not to give blood. Maybe radiation has something to do with it? I used to give but but stopped 2 years ago.
Tomorrow is 2 years of Tamox for me. Only 3 more to go!
-
I had chemo.
I read they don't take chemotized blood.
-
That makes sense. Maybe radiationized blood too? I just made that up!

You guys are so funny, Deb glad to hear about your Dad....I have plantitis fistists (sp) and got a cortozine shot in my foot....I was told that I was never allowed to give blood or donate my body to science but that was a long time ago, maybe I could now.....they would have field day with my brain....the insurance issue I think is fixed....ok I might have said this before but.....when the tobacco companies got sued they settled for an amount, the last thing that Pres. Clinton did before he left office was create the Breast Cancer and Cervical Cancer Program to be funded with those monies for low income , people without insurance, you have to be in treatment tho, it is the same insurance as I have....just a different funding stream.
Filled out the paperwork today and my insurance funs out 11/2.....off tomorrow!!!Sandy
-
I have the qualifications for giving blood and it says 2 or 3 years out of treatment and NED you can give.
-
Eligibility depends on the type of cancer and treatment history. If you had leukemia or lymphoma, including Hodgkin's Disease and other cancers of the blood, you are not eligible to donate. Other types of cancer are acceptable if the cancer has been treated successfully and it has been more than 12 months since treatment was completed and there has been no cancer recurrence in this time. Lower risk in-situ cancers including squamous or basal cell cancers of the skin that have been completely removed do not require a 12 month waiting period.
Precancerous conditions of the uterine cervix do not disqualify you from donation if the abnormality has been treated successfully. You should discuss your particular situation with the health historian at the time of donation. -
YAY!! Good for you Deb!
Enjoy your day off Sandy.
Good night!
-
Deb....Its nice to know I have normal blood now lol
Good Night

My little friend Jackie had her surgery yesterday. They are awaiting the pathology report. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
-
For Little Jackie.♥♥
-
Good Morning its raining here too.
But we cant complain after so many beautiful days we have.
Okay I know who I am and where I am but its coffee time.
To be continued......
-
I painted the inside of my garage door this morning and it is soooooo muggy out, the paint wont dry.
Thanks for the candle for Jackie.
-
Boy, you are just a painting machine. I'm doing laundry. Fun.
My daughter likes Sharon Osborne, so she's been recording and watching "The Talk." The other day, Jamie Lee Curtis was on and she was talking about how parents today, helicopter parents, tend to "over-parent." When she described some things that the parent might say, both my kids looked at me and said, "That's you." LOL
-
I think that's all of us (or most) today.
Are your kids dressing up for Halloween?
-
My DD is going to be Tinkerbell. Funny thing is - the wings are too top heavy and flop down. Not sure what her plan is to deal with that. And the skirt is made up of strips of material so she needs to wear something underneath. Again - not sure what her plan is for that.
My son is going to be Link - a video game character. He's going to get beat up. But he really wants to dress up like that. He made his own hat out of felt and I bought him a green t-shirt that he is going to wear inside out since it has a picture on it - with a belt around it to be a tunic. He has a wooden shield and a wooden sword. The t-shirt and hat are two different greens. He doesn't like that they aren't closer in color, but hasn't come up with an alternative. I suppose I could go out and try to find another t-shirt in a color that is closer to his hat - but that could take forever. Not sure what to do. Hope he doesn't get picked on too much. I think his friend is dressing up like a character from the same game as well. They dress up in school - not sure he can bring the sword - even if it is wooden.

Are your kids dressing up?

They sound very creative. I don't have any suggestions for the floppy wings. I'm sure she will be fine! Link sounds awesome too!!
My youngest will be a spartan and the oldest doesn't know if he will dress up. He always decides last minute. Last year he was a recycled Halloween costume. He took a Teen age mutant ninja shell, Thomas the tank engine hat, a sword etc and wore them all.
