    Happy Thanksgiving Canadian friends!

    Barbe, you're breaking all the rules of this thread you knowWink

    Just give your company a windex bottle and paper towels when they walk in the door. Tell them no food until the house is clean:)

    Garfield's slippers are cute! I hadn't even noticed.

    Mary, no housework for you today.  I hope you are feeling better really soon.

    Hugs to all the Dusty Buns.

    Canadian friends: Happy Thanksgiving!

    Mary, I'm sorry that you aren't feeling well. I had a difficult time after my last chemo. The effects are cumulative. I just wanted it to be all over and get back to life! Very gentle hugs to you!

    Thanks Artie - its the not knowing that drives you nuts.  On the way home from physical therapy I promised God I would let go and let him and further promised I wouldn't try to take it back.  Its in His hands now - hence:

    good morning this is god

    lets see...breaskfast, shower, check email. take morning meds. So far pretty productive. Big outing for the day is bank and buying light bulbs. I know Home Depot will have what I need but maybe I will just head to Walmart and hope (its so much closer)

    Hugs to all...Mary take it easy, you earned some down time sweetie.

    300 -- 300 -- 300 -- 300 -- 300 -- 300 -- 300!!!!!

    It's awesome to see everyone checking in for our combination Happy 300 -- Thanksgiving party.

    If we started getting creative I bet we could track down all sorts of national holidays, from around the globe. Give us something 'extra' to celebrate every day.

    Shiny, Jayne & Vivvy...... got anything 'fun' coming up on your national holiday parade, that we can help celebrate??

    Had a school-visit day today.

    Just had a message that none of my 3 grand-kiddos is running a fever today. So I'm ready to celebrate in earnest!! WB seems to have 'bounced' his kaka right on thru..... hip, hip, hooray!!

    Lots of details to attend to, before picking up DH @ airport.

    Oh yeah, Coonie...... thanks for the prompt.

    I meant to send everyone a "REAL" Columbus Day wish, from the REAL Columbus -- Ohio.

    (I can't seem to remember my own name these days.)

    LOL

    Together we can.

    Happy Thanksgiving Canada.  At least you get to work (oh, wrong word) you get to release all the extra calories before Christmas comes around!.  Here we just waddle through Thanksgiving the end of November and eat ourselves silly until Christmas.  Then we spend 4-5 months trying to get it off before hitting the beaches in the summer.

    Take care of yourselves, hope you are having a brilliant day.

    I did a load of dishes and baked 2 apple pies today.

    I also saw all 3 of my docs today.  Started out at the surgeons office.  Met with plastic surgeon and the only option for reconstruction is to pull tissue from my back and get implants.  Not an option for me, so I'm going to have my other mast on 11/9 and go with no reconstruction.  I told the nurse I could buy different sizes prosthesis and if I feel like a B, I could be a B...If I feel like a D, I can be a D.  After the surgeon, I saw my PCP to set up an appt for my pre op clearance that I'll need and then I went to my Onc to get blood drawn before my Reclast infusion next week.

    KAK - did you have your first treatment in the fatigue study on Friday?  How was your vacation?  Were you able to make a lot of headway on your t-shirts?

    Thanks everybody. Good to know this is normal for the last one to suck so much. I'm feeling better. Still not great, but better. I'll take that.

    Kathleen- Still praying for your uncle. And I have that exact sign about God being in charge hanging in my craft room.

    Barbe- You are working too hard! 

    Barbe, Sharon and Mumayan- You are SERIOUSLY making me crave turkey!! I hope you had a wonderful holiday.

    Coonie, Cheryl, Arnie, EWB, Faith, Kathi, and Nancy- (((hugs))) just because...

    patoo- Giggling at the waddling through from Thanksgiving to Christmas! Yep.

    Shiny- Feel better, love!

    Jane- You've had a busy day. Slow down some!! If I have to have my right one removed after the genetic testing, there will be no recon here either.

    Oh and I'm a party pooper about Columbus Day. My dad died suddenly on October 11, 1993. It was Columbus Day and ever since I have hated that holiday even though it moves around and it's not the same day every year. OTOH, my DH did enjoy a day off today. Wink

    I hope I didn't miss anybody. I'm sure I did. Hugs to all!

    Hollyann, look above and see the thousands of HUGS coming your way.  Oops, duck so they don't hit your head and open your arms wide to catch a few.  There you go - all better!  When you feel down just reach out again and pluck some more.  I'm filling the sky with them for anyone who cares to catch a few.  There's lots to go around for everyone.

    Lucy - Faith is right - GROUP HUG

    Picture - group friends. fotosearch - search stock photos, pictures, images, and photo clipart

    I know what you're saying as does every sister on here.  You make such a difference on these Boards.  Your warmth, generosity of spirit and caring are sorely needed - here on the Board and the lives you touch outside the boards.  And stop telling people you are okay when you're not!  It will do them good to get a reality check.

    We do need each other.

    Dream once wrote a post about our needing to be strong for one another, when we have the strength..... as our day, too, will indeed come, when we will need the support of others.

    I'm not as poetic as she, but the sentiment is true -- even in my watered down approach.

    We lift one another up while we are able.

    We hold one another's hands across the miles, because we make a difference.

    We wipe away the tears because we understand.

    We're in this together.

    I've come to believe that has made me "better."

    Have a tremendous Tuesday.

    We're all here for each other.

    What would I do without all of you?.....I felt that group hug last night!......

    Patoo, love the hugs from above!.....I will definitely keep them close!...

    Faith, love the pic of the group hug!....That actually looks like my dark head in the middle!..LOL

    Kathleen, you are so sweet...Thank you for the kind words.....They mean a lot!.........

    I am feeling somewhat better today...Still feel like crying but I figured it is from where I stopped my Lexapro...NOT intentionally but it took that quack I went to last August 31st 4 days to reply to a fax from my pharmacist and then he ended up sending in the wrong dosage!.....I told Dr. Hoke, my GOOD doctor, that I would NEVER go back to the other doctor ever!......I don't know if I told you but the last time I went to Dr. Quack I was in terrible pain in my hips and feet and arms and do you know just because he didn't know what was wrong with me he wanted me to see a SHRINK!...YES a shrink!....FOR PAIN!.......He did the same thing to my husband...I guess just because we both take antidepressants that we are crazy and all of our pain and illnesses are just in our heads!.....

    Well I have rambled on enough for one morning........Please keep our lttle Hannah in your prayers...She is having more nodes removed Friday at 1:15 pm Pacific Time...They are taking 10 or 12 more.....Oh And Hanna's Nana says thank you so much for the love and support you all have shown the family and especially Hannha.....She can't bring herself to come here anymore...It upsets her to read things here...I told her I understood and would relay the message.....Also she said to tell you Hannah is triple negative......SO extra prayers for our Baby Sister.........

    Lucy, before I started chemotherapy I was in the PS office. He told me we were going to need to wait to do the tissue expander exchange until after the chemo is done. I got very upset. After I gathered my stuff and was leaving I saw the doc at the front desk. He asked, "Are you OK?" At that point I thought that was the stupidest question anyone could ever ask me! Of course I wasn't ok! I had cancer and was facing chemotherapy and surgery. I rounded on him and firmly said, "No, I am not ok--I am NOT O--K--!!!", and glared at him! He let me cool off in the waiting room before driving home. He really is a sweetheart, though. When I talked to him the next week he said my reaction was "perfectly understandable."

    Hugs Cheryl...I really need to just tell it like it is when asked if I am ok......Cause truly I'm not......I PRETEND to be ok just for the sake of my job (I work retail and run a cash register so it would not look good if I am standing there bawling while waiting on people)......For the most part i make it through ok though.....Especially when I have the support of so many wonderful ladies here........
