    Just got back from the Cape.  We had fun.  My Mom and Dad live there for the summer, which comes in real handy!  I met my sister, cousin, and their kids and we went fishing and to the beach.  I will try to post a pic later, but I think it may be square and red.........

    Missed you all.  Hugs to all those in need.

    Ladies, 

    Much appreciation for the acknowledgment and guidance.  I must admit I was down, and it appears everyone wanted something from me. 

    From now on I'll be "better not bitter".

    Oh Kay-Kay (that sounds wierd to say), you will be bitter again, and you have the right to be! There are different threads to post on depending on how you feel, but other threads, like this one, will take you just the way you wake up....Yell or Cry or Laughing, doesn't matter to us, we have no agenda, just normal human curiousity about how someone else is doing, good OR bad.

    Hi Ladies,

    Hope everyone is starting to feel better and having better days.



    I do not know what in the world is wrong with me the last few days. My emotions have just been out of control and from one extreme to another. I haven't felt this out of sorts since i was a teen. One minute angry then in tears. And most of it over silly stuff. Good grief sure hope this isn't the beginning of menapause cause if it gets much worst I may bite my own head off.

    BKC, I have days like that and I swear they are cycle related.  This tamoxifen is messing up my cycles and I become one big raging hormone!  I can tell when I am getting  like that and try to warn people to look out...the bitch is back!  I hope you feel better and realize you are not alone.  Hang in there.

    Thanks Linda This is such a crazy feeling I hate to think of anyone else having to go through this. I have a few days where I just clean clean clean and still feel like everything is still out of place get frustrated at the kids and DH because they think the house looks fine and noone seems to want to help I just grind my teeth then I'm in tears for no reason. I to can tell when this is coming on and try to avoid saying or doing anything i may regret later. Then in a few days I"m back to me and can't even remember what I was so upset about. Ahhhhh I feel a crying jag coming on.

    bkc, consider it a lack-of-control thing. You can't control what is happening to you cancer-wise, but are trying to control other areas of your environment. One area could be the house cleaning...to everyone else it is normal, but to you, there is much to improve on. It is a totally understandable but frustrating reaction.....I often have to pre-apologize to DH when I feel my crank coming on.

    Good morning, you're too funny!  Sorry you're bored and still there.  Did you just wake up from a nap?

    Unfortunately, I am peacing out now.  Had treatment #4 today and I'm quite sickly now so I guess that means it's time for bed and meds.  I wish I had some like yours Wink.  Ooh, not for the same reasons though.  I hope they help you with the pain!

    Can't stay and play but I can tell you a silly joke.  Why was the baby strawberry crying?  'Cause it's parents were in a jam!  It's OK, you don't have to laugh...

    I hope you're appointment goes well.  I also wanted to tell you, a long time ago, that I saw one of the pictures you posted of you and your husband.  Nice looking couple!

    I just got it - What a duh!  Your 'good morning' was probably going to be the first - in - the - morning!  Damn chemo brain!!

    Well, try and have a good night and hope you get some sleep.

    Barbe, are you still up? Good morning! I've been out of the loop. Are you in the hospital because of Mick? Whatever it is, special gentle hugs for you.

    Oh X, Mick did me wrong! The surgery was tougher than the doc expected and I've had complications ever since and been in the hospital since Sunday! Finally got diagnosed with perfusion defect to my right kidney which means there is an area that isn't getting oxygenated blood and it goes into spasms. VERY painful. But VERY strong IV drugs. (Mick would have liked that!) Sooooooooo, a rolling stone really doesn't gather any moss! Laughing

    Sorry...

    Gosh darn it Barbe ... well, at least you know why you are having pain.  I know all about IV antibiotics - I had a four week course and I can guarantee you there isn't a germ to be found in my body!

    not feeling well all i can say is heal

    Good morning dust bunnies!!!   Hugs to all that have been down, are down or will be down!!!  I'm usually a really upbeat person but when the onocologist walked in the room Wednesday I started crying and couldn't stop... at first he was surprised because we usually get down to business and laugh alot.  He brought me tissues...and I kept saying, "Sorry"  He told me it's good to have "down" days... even "healthy" people have down days and he kept hugging me.  Yikes!   He insisted at the end of the appointment that he was glad to have seen me cry because he was concerned a "big" fall was coming my way emotionally because I always tried to be "strong" for everyone else... hmmmmmmmmmm  

    Anyway, I hope everyone has a blessed day and I sure wish mom2two would let us know that she's ok...

    can't morning wait just ten more minutes?

    Arnie - your doc is right.  I hate to cry and feel like I am out of control but some days that is all you can do.  Besides, crying evenually makes you feel better.  It helps you wash the crap out of your system.  Just know, you are hardly alone in feeling like you did.  Hugs!

    {{{{{{{{{{{{ Arnie }}}}}}}}}}}}} are you feeling better from your PILL yet? That was really ME hugging you through your onc. Good point he had. I knew there was a reason I break down every once in a while....kind of like a car...we need to be checked out thoroughly and get our fluids changed!

    I'm not getting IV antibiotics, just IV painkillers along with a lot of fluid.

    Hi Arnie, I agree it's good to get it out of your sysytem.  Back in March when I met with my onc and a premed student, the first thing they asked me was how I was doig.  I said fine, and then burst out crying.  I think we all feel like that from time to time.  That's what's so cool about these threads because I know you get it!  I hope you are feeling better.

    I hope Barb is feeling better too!  Do you ever sleep??

    Hello to the new friends and HUGS all arround!

    Linda

    I think we all have a meltdown story. Once while at my PS office a week before starting chemo I was feeling depressed. When I was leaving the office he was at the front desk. He asked, "Are you doing OK?" And I.screamed, "No, I'm not OK! I'm not O-K!!!"

    Hugs to Barbe and Arnie. Sorry you are both having a rough time.

    I haven't had my crash moment yet, and I know it's coming. Someday. Somewhere.

    I got this wild hair yesterday to paint my craft room. I must be nuts! But I love it! I'm painting it a soft yellow. When we went to the coast a few weeks ago, I bought a bunch of beachy decorating things and that is my new theme for this room. This has got to be earning me some major housecleaning points?! Surely!

    Happy, sunny day to all! We got almost an inch of rain yesterday and we needed it so badly. We need a lot more to get out of this drought, but it was so nice to wake up to rain. Sunny and headed back to triple digits again today. Oh well.

    Hugs and love to all the dustbunnies!!

    How can I sleep with all these drugs coursing through my system?????????

    As women, we tend to hold together during the crisis and fall apart later when it's all over. During this cancer issue, there really is no "over" so we never know when we can let go. Makes it tough to keep hanging on.

    That's why this site and these threads have helped me so much during this "journey"...  I don't know where I'd be right now if not for the "sisterhood"... I have a very loving, supportive family BUT they don't "get" it like you guys do...   THANKS!!!   to all you beautiful, courageous sistah's!!!
