Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?

Jackie, I'm proud of them, too. I fear that they won't accomplish much in the way of legislation and also fear that they will suffer vicious attack and become cynical like most of us, but they are future voters and can run for political office. I just hope they can hang on to their ideals.
This hot weather at least dried out the golf courses at our club. I played yesterday (for the first time in 2018?) and got very tired because it was terribly humid. My blouse was almost soaking wet with perspiration and we had a luncheon afterwards. I wished I had brought a clean blouse.
DH is ready to head to the gym. Will check in later.

If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be we're all okay,
and not to worry cause worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these.
I won't be made useless.
I won't be idle with despair,
I will gather myself around my faith.
Light does the darkness most fear.

Rained through the night along with several times yesterday and the night before. Likely some more today will come. Haven't checked the forecast -- just hoping we will have some GOOD periods of not raining so the little bit of outdoor work I need to do will go okay.
I will have to do my usual of going to Walmart. Animal supplies mainly. Have a little job coming up. Need to watch the little doggies ( spend the night with them for sure and some day time hours ) for about four days. That starts Sunday.
Carole, I guess you could put bringing along a clean shirt under "lessons to be learned for next time", to fit with maybe ( in my case anyway ) "lessons I already learned, but forgot for a bit". Sounds like you did ( except for humidity ) enjoy the golf course. Since I haven't checked I am looking forward to our drying out. The mud isn't fun at all, but in the broad sense I guess rain is better than snow. Only thing we can get more sun after the sun so at least have that pleasure.
Hope you are all going to have a good day.

We had a light dusting of snow last night and it's 31 F right now. I'm not going to go to my art class. It's quite a distance and I haven't driven on snow or ice in a long time. Our street looks ok, but we're so close to the water that we rarely get snow at all. We had a cat team meeting last night while it was starting to snow. The road was definitely wet, so icy this morning.
Hot water heater died yesterday. They're delivering a new one today. In the meantime there's a big kettle of hot water on the stove. Fortunately, I can get away without washing my hair this morning. I reminded myself last night that I didn't want it to stand up this morning. Sponge bath took care of the rest.

Wren, we forget how used we are to conveniences like hot water heaters until they stop working. After they are replaced, we quickly forget the inconvenience of not having them.
Yes, Jackie, this is an old lesson--bring a dry golf shirt or else go straight home when the weather is terribly humid. It's just hard to believe that I have to remember this lesson in February. I hope to play golf again tomorrow but I'll go home afterward. It has been too wet for golf in January and the first part of February. The forecast is for more rain next week.
The trees and blooming shrubs all are convinced that winter is over and it's time to put out leaves and flowers. There have been years when winter returned for a rude day or two. I recall one March many years ago when the azaleas were in full bloom and it snowed. What a sight that was. Fluffy snow on gorgeous azalea blossoms. You could imagine the blossoms shivering!

Hi everyone,
Our weather today is kind of gray- not enough to expect rain, but the sun is not out full force. My brother's childhood friend was here for 10 days. He stayed at a hotel, because he wanted a gym available. His daughter took care of all his travel plans, and I guess she didn't have our address because his hotel was not close by at all. I joined them for dinner one night, and as we were waiting for my brother to bring the car around, we were talking about what a beautiful evening it was. Then Mike asked if I was bothered by the humidity. I didn't feel any humidity. I told him he needs to come back in the summer if he really wants to experience humidity. He will get hit in the face with it as he gets off the plane.
This last Parkland shooting was a little too close for me. I used to work with two teachers that are now at Stoneman-Douglas. We had 24hr TV coverage for a few days. My grandson begged to stay home from school the next day. My DD wasn't sure what to do, but she let him stay home. Turns out that was the right choice, as the majority of kids that did attend school that Thurs, called to go home early, and no one we knew that had gone in on Thurs was planning on attending on Fri. DGS's school, which is about 3000 kids (same size school as Parkland) had only 287 kids show up on Fri. 2700 stayed home.
I believe some changes have to be made about who can buy guns, and I also don't believe that any citizen in this country has the need for an assault weapon. My DGS is vehemently against any changes re guns. His school scheduled a walk-out yesterday (as did most of the schools in the county) and he said he would not participate because it was against the NRA, not having anything to do with honoring the victims. He ended up going out anyway, because he would have been left all alone if he had stayed inside, and didn't want to be targeted for not being a team player. His problem with not wanting safer background checks is that his father owns guns, but would probably not pass a background check. Among other issues, he suffers from PTSD and has always had anger management problems. I drove to Ga with them a couple of years ago, and when another car cut in front of him, he pulled a loaded gun out of his glove box and started waving it around, and thought that was a perfectly normal reaction. He only put it away when we reminded him several times that his 12 year old was in the car.
I don't have any answers for solving the shootings in school, but I know it is not as simple as tighter gun control, and I am sorry that so many have narrowed the problem to just that. The problem, as I see it, is so much more complex and includes social medial, violent video games, movies and TV, and a generation of parents who put their lifestyle ahead of their children's. I think it goes way back to putting kids in daycare at 6 weeks old. It comes down to intentional parenting instead of doing what comes easiest, every single day. I know there are exceptions to the way I see things- some single parents have no options but to work full time, but for many, both choose to work in order to have the lifestyle they want. I also believe that we have to do a better job about recognizing these troubled kids a lot earlier, and providing the treatment they need. My heart broke a a mother’s post on FB the other day. She said her son could have and may yet become an “active shooter”. She says she knew something wasn’t right before he was 2 yrs old. She knew it was really bad by the time he was five. There is no ne out there that has been able to help her son, and she has tried every possibility out there. The scariest thing she said, is all the Dr’s psychologists, counselors, social workers, and police have all given her the same answer-“Our hands are tied because he has not committed a crime yet. Once he offends, then we will be able to help”.Thats an unacceptable option. How many lives is he going to kill before he gets helped?
Sorry to vent like that, but like I say, this one hit a little too close to home- only 15 minutes north of us, in a very nice neighborhood. And I can’t tell my DGS not to worry about anything bad happening at his school, because there is a very scary possibility that it could happen anywhere, anytime.

Wish your DGS were old enough for you to take him aside and tell him to start thinking for himself, that the NRA is not an authority to have to be obeyed but just a great big club--which has no power over anyone not running for office; and that no, it's not normal for his dad to get so angry about other drivers and that a gun is not the way to express anger. Quite frankly, Anne, your DGS is probably in a lot more danger from a parent with both PTSD and firearms than he is at his school.
Had a bit of a crisis yesterday. Went to the first floor toilet, put nothing in there that didn't belong (e.g., wipes) and when I flushed...it didn't. (The tank did but the bowl didn't). Yeah, and it was as gross as you'd imagine. "Please don't overflow," I repeated, more desperately each time. Thankfully, it stopped just short of the rim below the seat. I grabbed the plunger, which usually does the trick after a couple of pumps. Not this time. After 20 tries I managed to get the bowl mostly but not completely empty. Called the plumber, told Gordy not to use that bathroom (or at least not to flush). Bob came home and before I could catch him, rushed into the john. But he came out after and simply said "it's flushing a little slowly." I looked at the water and it was clear again. WTF? Still, I decided to keep this morning's plumber appt. and we went out to dinner & a movie.
Came down this morning, and the toilet was fine. But what if I were to cancel and it happened all over again? Plumber arrived, couldn't get the toilet to clog. Then he started putting wads of TP in and flushing...and it was beginning to get sluggish again. He must have used that 8-ft. auger a dozen times--couldn't feel any obstructions, but still, there was a bit of water starting to seep out the edge of the seal. He assured me that I didn't need a new seal, but that sometimes air gets into the exit pipe and forces water out. Finally augered it a few more times and couldn't get it to clog despite having flushed about half a roll's worth of TP. Wrote the check, and we shot the breeze for a bit: found out he's had several nearby service calls (mostly sewer backups downhill, closer to the lake). I told him about my next-door neighbor's city supply-line pipe freezing and bursting underground between the sidewalk & curb and that the city was futzing around there trying to fix it for nearly a week. And almost simultaneously, we mentioned a couple of blocks along Granville Ave. were closed off while the water dept. was digging. Waved goodbye and sat down to my coffee.
Five minutes later, my phone rang. It was my next-door neighbor on the other side. "Do you have a good plumber you can recommend?" he asked. "He just left," I replied. My neighbor said, "You're kidding!" I told him what had happened, and he exclaimed "OMG--that's what's happening to my toilet!"
Meanwhile, though my voice is mosty back, my L wrist keeps flaring up & snapping so I can't play. Might not be able to hold out 6 weeks till my appt. w/ the hand surgeon for an MRI and cortisone shot. And now my voice teacher is sick (bacterial sinusitis), my best friend's DH just got out of the hospital after developing pneumonia after a case of flu. And now she (best friend) has the flu. All in all, if someone or something in my household had to be ailing, I'm glad it was the toilet and not one of us.

Strength is a capacity for endurance. One of the dividends of suffering is the universal discovery the we possess a strength within us we never knew we had. Navigating through a difficult episode not only shows us that inner strength is there but convinces us it will always be there to serve us in the future. Overcoming gives us an assurance of personal confidence and value that far exceeds what we thought we possessed before our struggles began.

Hate to say Sandy, its funny about the toilet problem, but its not. It does seem there is something to all the work/problems/issues of the sewer system around you. I have an issue where I plunge every few days. The guy who installed our/my half bath toilet in my bedroom water closet said he thinks that the line under the house needs adjustment -- but as usual, getting around to it.
It is raining a bit today and due to rain a lot but there is a break so will go and feed the ferals and get to Walmart for a few supplies. We are out of milk. The nutritionist said the Fairmont milk is about the best you can get now. I thought it too expensive but changed my mind. We don't use that much and therefore don't worry about the calories, but like the extra protein and vitamins etc. It also has a lasting quality to it like the Silk Almond milks so even better. Going to get Dh some of it in chocolate. He has been using some collagen that mixes in liquid -- so wants to use the milk for the protein. Hmmm -- not sure how I feel about all the protein he takes in but I don't think it is bothering him in any way.
Hope that rain settles and the dry spell will last a long longer than they seemed to think it would. It is quite 'light' outside right now. After an all night and so far morning rain I am appreciating that.
Hope you all have a really good Saturday.

Sun is out today so I'm a happy camper. It has been a very full morning. Had to be at the Dr.B's early this morning to see them off. They will be back on Friday -- sort of late. So, a bit more time then we thought.
I think our weather is going to stay nice for a while. Like sunny and not too cool either. Nights sound like they won't be as bad either. I think we are through the worst now and will just have to be patient for the part of Spring that starts the fresh growth. Looking back, we didn't have much for snow this winter season ( hope we don't have any more ) but had plenty of cold. Much more than expected. Rain at odd times, but that good ole' sun just settles me down and helps me put it all behind.
Hope you are all going to have a nice sunny day to enjoy as well.

Our weather today reminded me of the saying in Oklahoma: If you don't like the weather, wait an hour. We had strong winds, sunshine, rain and sleet. The temp is high enough that all the sleet will melt. I might have to scrape my car windshield, but the roads are fine. They closed 2 major highways today. Highway 20, known as the North Cascades Highway, was closed due to an avalanche and Highway 2 was closed due to poor visibility with blowing snow. Highway 2 is a major east-west highway. The ski area at the top closed early. From the traffic photo, you couldn't see well enough to ski anyway.
The daffodils and crocus have come thru the weather a little beaten, but still blooming. The hellabore are planning to move south, I think.

You will not grow if you sit in a beautiful flower garden,
but you will grow if you are sick, in pain, experience losses,
and if you do not put your head in the sand, but take the pain
and learn to accept it, not as a curse or punishment,
but as a gift to you with a very, very specific purpose.

Beautiful sun will be here all week. My kind of week. I am doing work at my former employers house all week which is good for my pocketbook. I also see the lady on the highway again, but not till I'm done at the Doc's house. It is all good to me. That and the sun -- fantastic. So, lots of work, and likely since it is often the case, I will hopefully lose a bit of wt. from being where I am. I get a lot of extra walking in the big house.
Otherwise, plenty of things to do since in between I take the time to do what needs doing to keep up here at home. That's plenty right there, but feeding my ferals as well, and I have some bill paying tossed in too. A few calls that have to be made so a very busy week. Will be trying to keep up here too.
Hope you are all going to have a really good and I hope very sunny day as well.

Gorgeous day here after a stormy night. I was awakened in the wee hours by a great clap of thunder. It was quite a thunder storm. Today and tomorrow will be nice with temperatures in the 60's, then our weather heats up again.
I have accomplished some tasks this morning, including some ironing. This afternoon I may venture to Walmart's to get some items for my mother.
Happy Monday to all.

Very nice here. Came home to have my afternoon coffee and to boil some eggs -- used for snacks around here, and to make up a big batch of ham salad. I get Jennie-O turkey ham from Walmart as it seems best to me, and it is really easy to put it into an old Hamilton Beach food processor after making small chunks of it. Then the onion done the same, sweet pickles, ( no relish ) and a couple of hard boiled eggs, then shredded cheese, mix it up good with mayo and done. Took maybe 1/2 hour.
Enjoying taking care of the pups so far, but I'll be ready to stay home by the time the family gets home.

Got some yeast-raised hamantaschen (Purim is this weekend) like the ones I grew up eating in Brooklyn. Only these are gigantic, the size of Danish pastries (as opposed to the triangular cookie-dough ones which are the size of...cookies). We have a spate of mild sunny weather (wore my light leather jacket, unzipped, today). and I'm hoping to get some of the debris (twigs, dead leaves, locust bean pods) raked before the snow flies again so the crocuses, tulips and perennial herbs can come up again when it's their time.
Noticed something odd. My wrist is usually okay when I get up in the morning, so long as I haven't done anything stupid--like using it to prop myself up when turning over--during the night. But within a few minutes after putting on my Apple Watch, it gets stiff, sore, and clicks. So I examined the leather wrist strap and noticed how thick it is. I also had a problem when wearing the silicone straps. So I changed it out for the much thinner stainless steel Milanese-loop mesh band that Bob let me buy for dresswear when white silicone just won't do--and so long as I wear it above rather than on the wrist bone I have more flexibility and less pain. (I also have to remember to open car & cabinet doors & the tailgate with my right hand, and not to use my left hand to work the steering wheel locking lever). Think I'll still get that MRI to see if anything is torn or frayed. Sooner rather than later, in case I need surgery. I have to play again on May 11, so I can't still be in a cast by then.
-
Oh, and Jackie--did you mean "FairLife" milk? That's what I buy--all three white versions (whole, 2%, and skim) have half the carbs of regular milks. I don't buy the chocolate, though--I'd probably drink way too much of it.
My favorite almond milk to put on cereal or make French toast is Califia Unsweetened Vanilla Almond/Toasted Coconut blend (but it comes in a large bulbous plastic bottle which may not fit on your fridge door), or Pacific Unsweetened Vanilla. But for making cappuccinos & lattes, I like Pacific's unflavored "Barista Series." My local coffeehouse uses it, and it froths up beautifully and tastes just the tiniest bit sweeter than cow's milk. Whole Foods carries the Pacific line, but the Barista Series is only available wholesale or online--I get mine (a 6-box pack) from Amazon. Shelf-stable until opened. Lasts at least a week in the fridge.

Beautiful again today which for me means ' life ' is so good. Should stay thru at least the week-end and maybe longer. Sandy -- yes, it is Fair Life milk. At first I thought, hmmm unaffordable but really if you are trying to do healthy things for yourself it is not so bad. It has a long shelf life like the Silk Soy milks ( I routinely got the Almond milk ) and has more protein too. The chocolate milk I got mainly for Dh so he could use it to mix up his collagen. I was never a BIG chocolate milk fan, though I loved chocolate soda. Don't do that now though. So, a matter of trading off when I do things.

This is for you Sandy

Hope your all ok.......so sad about the Fl shooting......and no one can blame the NRA...I am not a gun lover or a gun toter, but lets check the facts about what went wrong....this all began long, long, before this lunatic decided to shoot up the school.......
All the red flags that the polce new about.....even the students knew he was an odd ball....and what about the school.....then lets talk about the fact that when people have had care from a mental health facility it is to be reported to the authorities which puts that person on a “watch list” which comes up immediately when the gun shops, or anyone else seeks information on this person...that did not happen.....and last of all the FBI....now tell me they are not to blame.....horrible they need a complete clean up in that Dept....so put the blame where it belongs....on the “Killer”, and on a weakened system that does not work with each other.....so sad....
In PHiladephia all the schools have metal detectors, and armed police officers in their schools.....all of them, not just a couple........yesterday a kid (apparently with no brains) brought a fully loaded gun to school in his book bag....never made it past the detectors.......he is in jail right now.....yet....our suburban schools DO NOT HAVE METAL DETECTORS.....some buzz you in, others have nothing.......so lets blame the State for not taking school safety seriously....yet they do airplanes, banks, etc.........
And this is another big problem.....and I am not a religious fanatic....I just believe this is true!!!!
-
Oh and here's another one.....my grandson goes to college.....his mother and father are paying $50,000 a year for him to go there....not counting books, etc.........
They took him back after being home for the weekend (he is not that far from home), when they walked up to the Dorm door to go inside it was not locked...they could just walk through........when they got inside there the next door to the actual suites where the students live was “propped open"...........a student who gets paid to allow people into the actual suite area put the “prop" in the door so she didn't have to get up everytime someone wanted to come in.....
Well my daughter was like a raving maniac and as soon as she got home she sent an Email to the Head of Security, and blasted what she saw.......within 10 minutes she got an answer to her email, and it was copied to everyone all the way up to the President of the college, and other higher ups......her email, and the email sent back to her.......
This is a very, very, bad area (which is where some of your best colleges are in the Philly area).....to name one The University of Penna.....at least once a week my daughter gets alerts of “armed robbery , woman with a hammer, man with a gun....etc....but as I said some of the best universitites are in horrible areas.........
So just an example of how things happen....carelessness.......no one caring.....let the other guy handle it....until they commit a crime our hands are tied........does it all sound familiar.....what.a shame!!!!!!!!
WHERE DOES THE BUCK STOP!!!!!!!
Next year he will be commuting...they are getting him a car instead of paying for meals and board which is also $10,000 a year.....scheduling his classes during daylight hours.......and by the way.....Heads did roll when they read my daughters email...not sure whose, but someones

hi good day everyone beautiful mom's!
Im not old, but why i am here? I just found this forum searchibg all over the internet, overnight , i cant sleep im confused. I am 25 years old and i love my mother, last year june, my mother she found out that there is something unusual feeling on her breast.. Its like a small bump. She told thia to us and we told her to go to a good hospital for checkup. She went and they scheduled for her mammogram, they saw that there is ome tumor on her left breast and small cyst on her right breast which ia not cancerous from what i know. For the tumor it is very solid and the doctor told us that there is posaibility it can be cancerous because of what it looks. And now im confused and scared, im not scared because if she will get breast cancer if its the finding once she will arrange for biopsy. What i am getting scared is she cannot handle the operation once the doctor said she needs operation to get rid off the tumor. My mother is having a serious heart problem since she was a kid. And it became more severe now when she got older. She is now 59, i want the tumor to be removed if its cancerous but im afraid if she cannot handle the operation, because what doctor said she will need to be injected with general aenestesia. Please if there is anyone who has any experience on what my problem is please send me any message or comment here. Godbless to all the mothers here and thank you for the love.
-
Tramyar, I'm sorry to hear about your mother. Not sure how long ago your mom was given news that having operations with certain anesthesia would be bad, but things change and it may turn out that time has made a positive difference. I don't know anything about anesthesia's but hopefully someone who does ( any nurses ) will get on here and help you with your question.
You also might try looking through ALL the topics ( something I have to admit I never did ) here as I do think there are many that have to do with diagnosis and some of the issues that come up right at the beginning of finding out you have cancer. I do hope you get good answers for these issues and wish I had more info for you but we all rely on each other and what one may not be aware of another seems to be -- so hang on and hopefully someone will show up.
-
Tramyar......I am 82.....in 2007 I had a heart attack.........in 2011 I was told I had BC.....I had surgery for a lumpectomy, with general anesthesia and I had no problems at all....in fact the surgery was the easy part of this entire mess.....Radiation, Femara, and the loss of all estrogen.......I would be the last one to tell your mother what to do.....I am just telling you that I had a heart attack, and was much older then your mother when that happened, and also much older then her when I had my cancer surgery.....
Check with her Cardiologist, and her Breast Surgeon.....they should be able to advise her what is in her best interest....good luck
-
Tramyar, operating room anesthesiologists are trained to protect the heart (and brain & lungs) during surgery. You should know that heart patients get open-heart surgery with general anesthesia. And a lumpectomy (or even mastectomy) is a much shorter operation than heart surgery. (I'm married to a cardiologist, BTW).
But don't put the cart before the horse just yet...wait for the biopsy results. The tumor might well be benign. And if it's malignant, usually the older the patient the less aggressive the breast cancer. (I was 64 at the time I was diagnosed, and I have asthma).
Your mom's care team (cardiologist & breast surgeon) will work together to give her the safest and best possible result. Meanwhile, we're here if you need us.
-
Oh forgot about my asthma.....not to mention a blood disorder...and I did fine....and of course my amazing Breast Surgeon who has since retired, and I wish he was back cause I fell in love with him from the first visit.....
