Night sisters.

Night Patoo!

It's 3 PM here and I'm ready to go to bed. I guess some of the drugs my doc. gave me for this lump/tumor are making me tired. As soon as I unload these kiddies I'm off to bed. Good Night Ladies!
-
Feel better Paulding. Take it easy.
Night friends.

((((((((((((Paulding)))))))))))))
-
Oh goody, doc called in some pain medication and I am feeling much better.
Good Night sweeties!
-
YAY! Meds are there for a reason.
Night friends.

Rest well, PM. Nighty Night P2. (I figured since this is the abbreviation thread, I would abbreviate your screen names!

funny M.
-
What does it mean when someone says BIRADS?
-
Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) score. This indicates the radiologist's opinion of the absence or likelihood of breast cancer.
-
You are to funny M.
Paulding sorry about your pain its always something but thank God its treatable.
night sisters♥
-
Night S8.
-
P2, I was thinking the exact same thing.
Where is "In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence" this morning? (Since she was already abbreviated, I un-abreviated her.)
-
I have not been posting for awhile. Back to work (school), have a wonderful class. You've got to love the little ones! It's so easy for them to love you-I was walking another teacher's kindergarten class to recess one day, one of her little boys asked me "where are you taking us?" (he was little concerned, not knowing me) I told him to the field for recess, he got a big smile and said "Yay! I want you for my teacher!" Just got to love 'em..It's been nice to return to work and put BC back in the closet and not think about it so much-Although I have been checking in and thinking of you all.just haven't had time to post.
My kids are at a back to school dance tonight, as soon as we go pick them up it's bedtime for me.
Paulding, I do hope the pain have lessened and you are feeling better.
Hope everyone else is well, have a good nights sleep!!!!

-
Is it time to get up already?
-
nmi, seems your coffee wasn't strong enough since no-one got up with you. who did you play with all day?
Of course it's late so I'm on my way to bed. Night my sisters. Pleasant dreams.
-
I've been waiting and waiting
. Thought everyone was gone forever
. Did I do something wrong
? Do I have body odor
? Did I say the wrong thing
? I guess everyone is just having a good day outside enjoying themselves
! Good night everyone

Thanks for the abbr. list, I still consider myself a newbie even after a biopsy, lumpectomy, and a mastectomy with a DIEP Flap (July 1, 2010). I should have checked this out 3 1/2 months ago when I was diagnosed with MPBC in May! I have learned so much about this beast since then. My motto is "better late than never!"

Sweet dreams & gn!
Dawn

Good Morning!
Welcome Dawn, (sorry that you are here, but glad to meet you) I know what you mean. I had surgery in 10/09 and did not explore bc.org site for several months. I have learned so much. Lots of funs girls here!....I think everyone's still sleeping...
Time to wake up and enjoy the day!
-
I'm on Vicadin, muscle relaxers and Cleleflex so every night is a good night. Heck all day long is a good night
Got to spend time with all three of my adult children this weekend and it was great. Looking forward to a nice week. Hoping the same for all of you. -
Well PM, I might have a good week but it would probably be better if you shared your stash! Did your children recognize your alter-ego?

Welcome M_Dawn - it's never too late to learn. Sorry you had to join this sisterhood but wish you the easiest of this journey.
Night friends.
-
Back to school, bright an early
, so I better tuck myself in and hope for a good nights sleep before 22 five year olds are demanding every ounce of energy!Have a good day tomorrow, hopefully we'll all talk again soon.
-
Hi Nmi...Im completely awake now.
Hi PM..Glad you are pain free and able to sleep.
Hi Dawn.
GN Sisters!
♥

Nmi, hope your first day back was fun. 22 little ones - my hat's off to you (and all teachers everywhere)
Nice to see you here seyla.
My eyes are closing early for some reason. But it's good as I'm off all meds (except arimidex) until after my colonoscopy Friday so no pain meds, supplements for joint issues, sleep aids, , etc. at all.
Night friends.
-
Patoo, good luck for Friday. I get to look forward to the same sometime soon. I am procrastinating making the appointment.
-
Meece - I procrastinated a whole year!
Morning everyone.
-
Morning...Afternoon everyone.
I made my follow up CT appointment this morning for next Wednesday, and have a GP visit on Monday afternoon, so I will delay making the other appointment until I know where I stand with those. At least I made one appointment already.
