    Calling all Oregon & SW WA TaTa sisters....Our team has been formed for the Sept 20th Race for a Cure in Portland OR.  Here is the link: http://rfcp.convio.net/goto/thetatasisterhood

    KEW and I are hoping that we will get to meet a lot of our TaTa Sisters and rally together to show everybody that we are strong and healing!   Together we will fight for a cure!  We invite all of you who are near along with any family and friends to join us!

    TaTa Sisters ROCK!

    HUGS! JazzyJ & KEW

    hey gals,

      In case anyone is interested, Travelocity has a great package for this trip, and it includes tickets to Cirque de Soleil.  I may book tonight.

    How much Deen? I have already gotten the hotel and air.. all together I paid 389.00 ish. But I got no Tickets... I am just curious what others are getting their Air for... ( I am sharing a hotel with 4 gals... so our hotel cost is a little less..)

    :)

    I booked air at 220 roundtrip and got my hotel directly from Mirage at a lower rate and 4 tickets thrown in for their animal enclosure and stuff.  It has a name but of course I can't remember it lol.  I have a player's card, its why I got better rates, I stayed at the MGM last year. 

    I can't wait for september to get here.

    Do you guys think I will be comfortable, I have my exchange on August 31st????

    Oh.....I want to go to the animal enclosure.  Anything to do with animals for me!!!

    Okay it is so late and this is probably useless to anyone, but I just found out about Southwest's sale which ends at midnight tonight.  Very good prices....if you are on PST I guess...

    YAAAAAAAAAAAAY VEGAS!!!!!! THE HOT TA TA SISTERS ARE ON THE WAY!!!!!

    OKAY LADIES AS I GUESSED SEVERAL HAVE DROPPED OFF THE LIST BUT THAT WILL NOT STOP THE PARTY FROM ROLLING ON!  THE DEADLINE IS TOMORROW JULY 10TH BUT IF YOU NEED MORE TIME TO BOOK (LIKE ME) PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL LET THE MIRAGE KNOW. I WAS TOLD BY THE REP THAT THEY ARE VERY FLEXIBLE WITH THE DEADLINE.

    I AM GONNA START A MISSING IN ACTION LIST SO WE CAN GET A BETTER IDEA OF WHO IS AND WHO IS NOT ATTENDING!

    IF I LEAVE YOUR NAME OFF OR INCORRECTLY PUT YOU ON THE MIA LIST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME.

    I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS TRIP, IT'S GONNA BE GREAT!

    Is the Mirage going to let us use some sort of check in area or meet-up space on Friday?

    Not me Daisy, I would probably offend someone's senses as I never realized this thread was on a reconstruction forum! Maybe I should just politely bow out.....

  • traceyz
    edited July 2009

    As soon  as we get all the rooms booked we will begin to work on additional space for a meet and greet. Also a few of you PMd me about needing more time. I will keep you posted.

    Thanks Ladies,

    Tracey

    I'm all for a meeting place so we can get our group hugs in!!  But not ready for BARE- I have a hard enough time looking at myself & there isn't anything there,just alot of battle scars head to toe!!  My reconstruction hasn't started yet either. I'm still trying to find the perfect bathing suit to cover my best parts!!  LOL LOL  Anyways girls, I can't wait cause this is something truely wonderful to look forward to!!

    Just to give you all a heads up, good chance I'm heading back into the hospital tomorrow..the staph & MERSA I've been dealing with didn't go away with the meds & has come back in full force.  I'm not willing to go thru the 10 day's of antibitocs again being sick with no end result,this has happened several times & I end up in hospital afterwards anyways,but I was willing to give this a try- new med,but .....it didn't work, so if you don't hear from me for awhile again,this is why.

    Several have asked why I don't get a 2nd opinion,but I have & something to think about,there are no other patients having this problem, only me,so there fore I'm abit Unique sadly,but true. Wish me luck & power prayers for healing,between Jazzy & myself,whom I spoke to today-we can't help but laugh,quite the pair. Laughter is the best medicine & we will all get thru our struggles & pain with the Love of our SISTA'S!!!!

    Take care  Chow  XOXO Susie

    BEAUTIFUL LADIES!
    Who cares what we look like... We ALL have battle scars... This is why we are starting to meet... WE ALL DESERVE IT!

    Actually.. Tracey and I talked of this a LONG LONG time ago... and it was not on the exchange city.. but in PM's.. Everyone is welcome. I have a pool at my house.. I DO NOT wear a suit as my TE look retarded.. so I wear boy shorts and tank tops. I could care less.

    Dear sweet Barb... You should never bow out.. no way...

    Meeting on the pool deck would only be a local place.. We do not have to be in our suits... I doubt I want to meet any of you sweeties in my bathing suit while my fat is hanging out ..lol... I think that should come AFTER we meet...LOL...

    So.. if we pick the pool deck... lets all just be in our regulars cloths.. then, those who wanna swim.. can go back and change..etc...

    Just being together is the key .. :):).... We are the ONLY ones who "get" our battle scars.... and we ALL have them.... and we are ALL beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We WILL unite and we WILL fight!!

    What time is everyone arriving on Friday?  I still need to book my flight.   Now I have no problem with sitting down at a slot machine and gambling by self, but it would be more fun to meet up with the group.

    Jazzy & myself arrive in Vegas a little after 10am!!  I think DvQ8 is with us too?! :):)

    Laura here will be in Vegas at 8:30 AM.. can you believe it... LOL....

    Oh, and Linda.. I saw that... LOL. that was so funny to see all you gals pounce...ROFLOL!

    Hey maybe Tracey can post next to our name on the first page when we are arriving.  Just a thought.  :-)

    Laura I can drink your double vodka tonic.  :-)

  • Estepp
    edited July 2009

    Ok Jazzy.. you can have them ALL!!!! LOL...

    I asked at the hotel.. where should I put my bags until we can get the room.. she said we can check all that in as soon as we get there.. and they will see they get to our room... this way we are not dragging luggage...

  • barbe1958
    edited July 2009

    When we arrive, we will get on a bus to the hotel and our luggage will be put in our room without us even having to touch it! They want us on the gambling floor as quickly as possible!

    Glad you were kidding Daisy! Whew! Dodged that bullet....

    I would get in mid-afternoon, so meeting in the early evening would probably work for west coast people too. It would be awfully HOT in the afternoon at the pool deck and we certainly wouldn't want our squealing and howling to distract anyone from looking at the babes lying around the pool showing off their cancer-makers! 

    'm I bad? Innocent

    Hi Laura,  sorry I didn't get back sooner.

      For just me and my DH in a room with airfare and all taxes for Fri, Sat, and Sun, it's 903.00.  And you get 2 free tix to Cirque de Soleil or Lion King.

      We're still hashing out whether we can afford it, but we'll have to decide today.  We're in a drought down here and our crops didn't fare very well.  Been there, done that, made it through, we will again.  I just want to go and see my fellow Ta Ta Sisters!!!!  And no, no one is going to see my Frankenboobs!!!Sealed

    Hey Sista's, I dodged the bullet-yipee!!  I do have MERSA again,but not serious enough to put me in the hospital. There are other reactions that I didn't have that I need to keep an eye out for...high temp, red rash,major drainage.  Find out next week what stage it is...learned something new, didn't know there were stages for MERSA.  Thanx for all the support to get me thru.  Better safe than sorry & both the Dr. & hubby agreed with my history.

    Daisy, sorry I took it serious, I don't even know when my hubby is telling a joke!! LOL  Working on trying to lighten up. :)  I did look it up though,curious & your right about men getting charged more...things that make you go hmmmmmmm.

    When I mentioned my Battle scars, I hope I didn't offend anyone when I was referring to myself-if so I am Sorry, I know we all have them & it does show how STRONG and BEAUTIFUL we are.

    Thanx for letting me share :):)   See you all in VEGAS

    Take care  Chow  XOXO Susie
