I made it back from New Jersey. It was a rainy ride. Awesome time last night. I'm so glad I made the trip. Really tired right now. Will post more later.

Reesie - been thinking about you all day. Hopefully your surgery is over and your resting comfortably.

Reesie- Hoping to hear soon that the surgery went well and accomplished what it was supposed to.

Sherry- Instead of building a pipeline to Texas for oil from Canada they should be working on a way to send some of the East Coast flood water your way.

Glad everyone had fun with Crissy and Hauntie got home safely.

What a great picture. It looks as if everyone had a great time. I was supposed to go to the Outer Banks next week to meet up with Chrissy and some of the girls but my daughter is being induced Friday morning and I just can't make it. I sure wish I could go!

Hoping Reesie is doing ok.

I am 42 yo and was diagnosed with IDC less than a month ago. I am sitting at home now recovering from my mastectomy and trying to prepare for my chemo. I just wanted to say how much I  appreciate everyone posting their experiences. It has been very reassuring to me. Hopefully I will be able to add something once my journey countinues.

Thinking of Reesie and hoping to hear good news really soon.

I love the picture of all the ladies together.  Looks like a f=great group and glad so much fun was had by all.

Sherry i am so sorry about those fires, espcially the impact on your brother's place.  How scary.  I wish I just just make it rain for you. 

Tired tonight, but wanted to say hello to everyone.  Hoping tomorrow I'll be able to catch up.

Sherryc

Good news ladies the fires did not get either brothers property.  We still need another day of no wind.  They say that if the wind kicks up tomorrow they could still spark back up.

tinkertude

Sherry glad to hear the good news, Will be praying it doesnt start back up.

jo1955

Sherry - Glad to hear the news - I know you were worried about your brothers.

Welcome Sherrybaby - Sorry we had to meet like this.  This is a great group of ladies with lots of very good information.  Please keep posting and bring those questions I know you must have. 

LovesChristmas-Barb

Welcome Sherrybaby! Though I'm sorry for the reason you have to be here.

Praying for Reesie and all the people in Texas dealing with the wildfires....

LovesChristmas-Barb

Thank you, everyone, for the kind words and good wishes! We all seem to be fine. The insurance company totaled my van, unfortunately, and since it was old they won't give us much for it either though we always had maintained it well. We know we will end up having to spend more money to replace and we're a bit bummed about that right now but thankful that we are all okay. I'm just sore in a place where I'm used to being sore these last four months! hehe...

Hi to everyone!  Welcome Sherry baby but sad you had to be here because of BC.  All you Texas girls glad to hear your okay but I'm sending my best strongest wishes for rain.  Barb58 glad your okay but bummer on the van.  Be sure you get a lawyer to look at everything for you to be sure you get the most out of the accident.  We had a bad accident in 2007 and would have een screwed by the insurance company if not for our lawyer.  Reesie hope you doing well after surgery.  Not too much going on here, just work, work, work.  I sure do miss alot on this thread during the day.  Awesome pic of Crissy, Hauntie, and the rest of the group!  Keep safe everyone.  Kitty

Such a lovely "sista" picture! I have met up with a couple of different bc sister groups & I will not forget the connection & friendship we had/have. Thanks for posting it Chrissy.

Welcome sherrybaby - you are so young, I'm so sorry you have to be here, BUT very happy you have found us. I hope you will find, as I have, that this group of ladies will always be here for you, always. Ask anything at any time, vent, cry, tell us a funny story so that we may laugh with you.

{{{{{ reesie }}}}}

I am sure I have missed welcoming some new sisters & for that I apologize. Welcome!

Foxlairfrm

Sherry- glad to hear that news! If you hear anything about the sheep, let me know. She posted a plea for help on our Foxhunting board and I've not heard anything. I just can't imagine having to leave animals behind. It's terrible.

Barb58- someone rear-ended DH in our very old car that was well maintained also. We argued to the adjuster when he gave us the amount for being totaled. Thankfully we have records on maintenance and they gave us quite a bit more. Or- call a lawyer. I never thought that was fair.

Sherrybaby- welcome! So sorry you have to be here. Cyber hugs!

barbe1958

Welcome back Reese, sweetie! Gentle hugs to you and the newbies...

LovesChristmas-Barb

I'm glad to see  you back Reesie! Praying your recovery goes well...

Sherryc

Reesie so glad you made it back.  Keep us posted when you feel better.

Hauntie

Reesie - Glad the surgery is over. I hope you heal quickly and painlessly. 

Barb - I totaled a car one, after just having some major work done on it. The insurance company upped the amount they gave me. It's worth a try, especially if you've replaced any parts recently.

Sherry - Sorry you had to join us. But, you picked the right place for support, friendship, advice, shoulders to cry on, answers to question, etc.

The dinner and after party in my room were so worth it, I would have driven twice as far to be there. We just all clicked so well. But, I guess that's what sisters do. Chrissy - boy do I wish you lived on this side of the world. You feel like such a kindred spirit. But, now I have a reason to add a trip to Australia to my bucket list and I know I'll be welcomed with open arms. 

I am probably going to face the rath of my BS for making her pull my drain out. I've developed a pocket of fluid. I first noticed it yesterday morning. When I laid down on my side last night, I discovered I had developed a "little boob". I just got rid of this damn thing and it's starting to grow again. It's a pocket between the size of a golf and a tennis ball. Waiting to hear back from my BS's nurse to see if it can wait to be aspirated until I get home or I need to make a trip to the emergency room while I'm here.
