Meece.............ditto........got the bruising too, but it went away quickly................then too, have a bleeding disorder, so that is expected...............not bad at all.............I thought that was a hell of a lot easier then the BC biopsy...........or the "wire stick" done by the horrible little man in radiology.........lol -
True, now that I think of it, my CNB was much worse. AlthoughI also ended up with a huge black bruise on my chest with that one, too. -
Meece...the first time the guy placed the wire I heard the Tech say.....hmmm your not spot on........he said "ok I will do it again". .........To that I said...."well buddy you better get it right this time,or I will kick your balls so hard, so I can show you what pain is, so pick you spot carefully"..........the Tech roared.....he got it right..... -
Sandy - hoping you are on the mend and that your procedure went well....
(((TOL))) -
Thinking of you, Sandy.

I was MIA...figuring out my life.....feeling much better mentally
Yes I was visiting the Aloha Children for 2 weeks.....either that or i was gonna put myself ina hospital
Hawaii wasn't guaranteed for a better MH
But it worked...i did lots of thinking about all aspects of my life
Slowly i started to gain my MH back which was at a breaking point
DD was very helpful and DSIL was wonderful
I'm not sure what the future will bring with my living arrangements but for now I'll be in Ny...
Waiting for the first grandchild's arrival in late March
Thank God the weather is good...taking walks and trying to stay away from life's complicated situations
It seems to be working
i have my health and grateful for it
Panic Attacks are less......I feel peaceful
nothing interesting is happening..
DIANE.....I enjoyed our conversation today...
Come on TOL let's reunite and keep close again
Sandy..You are in my thoughts and Prayers

I got up this morning thinking about my med onc appt and how I better shave my underarms at least. Took a shower, dried my hair, put on makeup, got dressed and got in the car when I remembered that I didn't shave. Ok, I think, there is no hair on the bad boob side, so this is no big deal. The nurse says I have to take off my pants and I'm now remembering that I haven't shaved my legs since labor day - she says he will check all lymph nodes on this visit. Then I start to feel that feeling I get every time I go there. Not really a feeling, but a smell that I recall all too well and overwhelms me with nausea. Chemo. I smell it and I'm not anywhere near the infusion room. I start to feel really anxious. I remember that I am to visit a friends mom on the third floor before I leave and that as of last night, they were not sure she would make it. Then the drilling in the wall behind me begins. The noise was deafening, relentless, and anxiety-increasing. Dr. L. walks in and he notes that I don't seem too happy to see him. I told him it's the smell - he said you know the smell is a full building away and that this is all in your head right? I agree. They then call a code blue on the third floor and I'm thinking about my friends mom and that I should have gone earlier to see her. He asks why I am so anxious and I relate that I heard code blue on my friends floor - he is so sweet, he made a call asking the patients name and told me it wasn't her. Then we did the normal stuff and he graduated me to every six months instead of every three. He then asked if something was going on that was making me unusually anxious and I started getting teary, explaining that I'd had another horrible experience with my DIL and that I knew he had other patients waiting and this had nothing to do with physical cancer, that it's a family cancer. He was so kind that I left feeling a bit better.
So Sheila, we all have our MH concerns. I can't control what my crazy a-- DIL does to destroy our family but I can control how much it owns me. I realized today that I can't fix what is wrong with her when her own family can't fix her either. So sad for my little babies to be pawns used in her hate of our family. So sad for the loss of contact. But, I know in my heart we have done absolutely everything we can to make things good, to offer support and unconditional love. Last week, she took away my ability to offer unconditional love.
We will see our DS this weekend in Wisconsin - I'm excited to see him and afraid that I will need heavy duty duct tape.
So kind of a weird day....
Has anyone heard from Sandy yet? -
(((((((TOL))))))))
Red Sox - World Series Champs!!!!!!!! -
I tend to break into tears each visit to my MO. She tells me that 80% of her patients do, and don't worry. I am sure it is that reality of what I went through coming back to the surface that makes me emotional.
Diane is right, we all have our MH concerns. Take care. -
