    Linda- Your trip sounds wonderful!! Sit and enjoy the back-to-school quiet today!!!

    Not feeling the love for the TED hose look! I wonder if my sister had to wear those back in the day when she was in nursing school. I'll have to ask her.

    Nancy- Thanks for the reminder. We fly our American flag everyday, but I have two 9/11 memorial flags I need to get out.

    Barbe- A girl after my own heart. I love to paint! People think I'm insane because I'm painting my craft room right now during chemo. Oh well. I'm taking my time and resting when I get tired. What else do I have to do? LOL

    Faith- Prayers for Saint and I hope that you get to spend some time with her. I try to find something to laugh about everyday. Sure feels good, doesn't it?

    ARNIE- YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last chemo!!!!!! I hope you get back to your old self quickly!!! I have four more! I'll be done for sure on October 6th. I am still having blood pressure issues, so they have decided to take me off the clinical trial drug permanently since they believe that is what is causing it. I got 5 out of 8 scheduled treatments of the drug, so I will remain in the study and they will follow me. I just won't be taking the drug. I will be unblinded on September 22nd, but it doesn't matter now which leg I am in because no more Avastin for me.

    I decorated my porch for fall this morning. It's kind of strange to do that when it's still hot here, but we kinda have to make our own fall in Texas. Wink I love it!

    Hugs and prayers for all!!

    Can't wait until you join me in the "no more chemo" club Texas!!!  I'm looking forward to decorating for fall too... Maybe next week!  Hope that your blood pressure gets under control now that you won't be taking the Avastin anymore....  I go to the onocologist on Sept. 23rd and find out when I'll start rads.... but for now just want to enjoy the thought of no more chemo!!!  lol

    Yah Arnie and Mary!!!!

    I painted the kitchen a colour called Forest Floor, a real earthy muddy green like rotted leaves and moss all mixed together. You can SMELL it, it looks so real! Looks wonderful!

    I don't do much prep, pull crap out from walls, tape baseboard. Paint. Go play on the computer. Do a second coat. Push crap back to walls. Stand back. Enjoy! Throw out tray liner and roller cause life is too short to wash rollers. MAYBE wash brush or just throw out. Depends on how the painting went. If it went well I tend to bond with my brush.....Kiss

    Just a very quick post to say Yay to Arnie! Congratulations on finishing chemo! also glad you had a great time while you were away. Definitely doing the happy dance for you.

    I've just painted my fingernails and toenails black in preparation for my first round of Taxotere tomorrow. After that I will just have 2 more to go. This whole business certainly has me trying out some 'looks' I wouldn't have considered before lol.

    Anyway I had better get off to bed as it is getting quite late here. I also have to go to my GP before chemo for him to check out my eye where the shingles has been round it.

     Hugs to all. Nite nite. xoxoxoxo

    Arnie - what wonderful news - I am doing the happy dance for you too!  I am so glad you had a great time at your reunion.

    Barbe - you admitted what I usually do when painting but didn't want to admit.  Once I was painting the steps up to the second floor in oil base white paint (I was determined to have white steps to match the trim).  I left to clean up the mess and when I went back I saw one of my cats gingerly walking down the steps onto the fresh paint!

    Jayne - hope the shingles clear up fast.  I always thought it was just on one side by the ribs until I looked it up when my sister had it - those shingles can be anywhere.

    I just love when there's lots of chatting going on around here.

    Glad to hear that so many are on the right side of their mountain climb.

    Please keep sending those prayers that we get to have the Saint & Faith fun this weekend. It makes leaving here nearly tolerable.

    Big hugs to all in need.

    Shiny. How's this week's school unfolding. I hope that you've got the communication between you and the staff all squared away. You'll be teaching them quite a bit, I'm sure.

    Vivvy, girl of tomorrow -- where are you???

    Good morning bunnies:  bun_rug

    Lucy - here's what I found about ventral hernia repairs:

    General Surgery

    University of Maryland Hernia Center

    Laparoscopic Incisional/Ventral Hernia Repair

    What is an incisional/ventral hernia?

    Incisional/ventral hernias are defects that appear at the site of a prior surgical incision.

    An incisional hernia can develop in the abdominal wall around a previous incision. It usually arises in the abdominal wall where a previous surgical incision was made. This results in a bulge or a tear in the area where the abdominal muscles have weakened. Incisional hernias can increase in size with time.

    A hernia occurs when part of an organ (usually the bowel or intestine) protrudes through a weak point or tear in the thin muscular wall that holds the abdominal organs in place.

    YEA - NO METS FOR LUCY!!!!!!!!  Bursitis is painful but not life threatening.

    Arnie - why are you limited in posts?  You have been on the boards forever - what's the poop?

    Linda - glad to hear your dh is on the mend - what did he have exactly?

    No, Barb, no  lisping, but that would have been really funny!

    Lucy, YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Great news!!

    kmc, not sure exactly, I'd have to ask him to write it down.  It was a build up of scar tissue...blah, blah blah.  So glad it's over!

    A quick fly by as I get ready for some outdoor activity.   It is too nice to stay indoors or to do housework.   Someone needs to meet me for lunch at a place that will wait on us hand and foot and bring something really decadent to eat -- no chocolate for me (allergic) but a Key Lime Creme Bruelee could work.    

    Hugs for all.  Congrats Arnie.   Glad the vacations and trips went well.  Enjoy yourselves and Put that paint brush down....   No work allowed on Thursdays.   Nancy

    Yay for Arnie & Yay for Lucy!

    Yay for Linda's DH, too!

    I signed up today for the cancer fatigue study.  Nice folks.  Tired now (big surprise) so I just had to buy a couple of raspberry jam pecan thumbprint cookies at my local bakery...

    ...and no housework today, except maybe to clean a corner of my desk so I can set up my new fax machine.

    Hugs to all.
