Sas, could that pattern be sweet pea? Sorry about the 2nd pic being so big.... gotta learn how to resize on my tablet

sas-schatzi

FunT good you sound better this morning, erhhh maybe I'm better. ...............

Loverly, I put the panda in the topic box. To good to lose. Are your sensibilities better with the new guy

Lookie, glad it's negative. Tissue gets inflamed and painful when we poke it too much. AH, quit poking it sweetie. Check once or twice a week gently. That will satisfy your need to know if it's changed. Hugs

Ginger, ,patty, Sensi, Meadow, Smarrty (who am I missing) hootie hoo.... Loverly will know.

Have fun Susiq at the shower today. PICS

Shep, they're no climbing tendrils, but the flower looks close.

funthing42

Shep pretty flowers.

SAS thank you.😊 For words of encouragement it helps lift the spirits.

Good morning all enjoy the weekend.

Sas-schatzi,

Thank you for this: " But since my life has been consumed by it for not just my time, but the years before my time here as so many relatives have had it before me and after me, I have a coping mechanism that's weird."

I too have a weird coping mechanism from so many relatives before me and an overwhelming sadness for those relatives who are coming up behind me. It consumes me. Yesterday I found myself counting the ones coming up and had to stop myself for fear of diving into depression again.

It's an odd peace knowing that everybody hurts, but sometimes I just want it to be all mine. I want my pain to be the last. I want my sacrifices to be the last. It just doesn't work that way.

It's morning here now and I'll be ok. Some, since removed, spammer kept me from finding the insomniacs and I stumbled around for a few hours in the other forums.

I'm so glad you're here and I'm so sorry you're here.

Sas, have you heard anything else from Patty

magdalene51

Sorry, Sassy. MO visit went well, he went ahead and scheduled a PET since it had been a while. Had that Tuesday. No word yet. He's usually pretty good about getting right back to me, last time 24 hours.

Going out tonight to the Jazz Lab to see our favorite band, taking some friends who haven't been. The husband is the guy who's building our new room, actually just enclosing the patio, but it will be a real room, and if I can get my chit together it will be a painting studio.

Looks like cruise is on indefinite hold since we haven't gotten our passports renewed. Oh well.

Jazzygirl

Mags- wishing you good outcomes on PET scan. Jazz lab sounds wonderful to me!

sas-schatzi

Will catch up tomorrow.

Patty was on FB today. I posted on her wall.......I'm not FB literate-----hate it actually. If she doesn't post here tomorrow I'll call

Loveroflife

Welcome CB!!

Still traumatized, Ms. Sas....thanks to ShepK.

I shall try and block that image with this one:

The thing is I can handle shirtless, but not pantless. And the heels....,oh, that was so wrong.

Mags, hope for favorable result with the PET scan.

NicciJ

OOOF! That's what I'M talking about! Looks like I stumbled upon a pretty good thread here!!

Loverly, OMD that man is STANDING on the unmade bed! Right where you'd put your face down to sleep......and I bet he's wearing shoes! And he is going to get plaster all over the headboard and bedding! Now I'm the one who is traumatized...........I'm going to have nightmares!

Better send this guy to properly clean things up..........

And don't forget about all that dust!

Welcome CB and NicciJ !

FunT ~ I may have to post more "biker men" pics after seeing that man tromping all over the bed....sooo disturbing!

cb123

Too much rock and roll before bed last night for me. I just woke up from a dream about this one. He's younger than my kid for Christ's sake!

sas-schatzi

Jazzy, your vase looks very large. Unusual to have a large cobalt vase. Very nice

Loverly, not suggesting that you have exactly what Judi had, but after I hear the whole story, perhaps we can figure something out. Hoping. God will guide us

Shep, did you read any of the stuff in the topic box? Never know, might be something there that will help. How much pain are you having? Interrupted sleep is so troublesome. I almost never schedule morning stuff /bc I never know when I'm going to have a "no sleep night". Generally, by late afternoon, I've had some sleep.

Lookie, I kept looking at Reno and couldn't make sense of it. What did Reno and the doggy accident have in common? Was the dogs name Reno?. Finally, renovation! What's the dogs name? Do you vou have enough tiles to take that piece up? Pour vinegar or bleach and let it air dry a few days? Check google. Google knows all.

sas-schatzi

Shep, that glass in the rectum xray. Story: When I worked in the OR. A guy came in that had a dildo sucked up too high that it had to be removed by abdominal surgery. It had to go to pathology. The guy was to embarrassed to ask for it back.The residents took it after pathology released it. They had it bronzed.

Each year in June, the graduating residents have a party where awards are given out. The coveted award is the Golden Apple award for the best teaching doc. The residents gave the Golden Dildo award to a doc who was a total ass wipe. When it was presented though they just held it up and said "This is for Dr. Smith, and the meaning of the award is self explanatory".

cb123 & Nicci Welcome here, our craziness range is immense. Dildo's to flowers LOL. Glass in the rectum to glass on the table. From troubles in Nepal, to baby showers(Susan3) in Indiana. It follows the Law of Brownian Motion discovered on 1827

sas-schatzi

To all, I left a message on Patty's cell.

CB123, I'm 7 years out from the start of my time. I started in the prophy pipeline. BC was found. I did a cancer tree and genetics thing. Tried to get the extended family to understand risk. None have taken it seriously. The count now is 25 or 26 out of 53 blood relatives on the paternal side. Dad's total group was 10 brothers & sisters, added with 43 first cousins. Pretty close to 50%. 4-5 have had double hits. Like me. Thyroid/BC/Brain(benign, but had the potential to be cancer, just happened to find it early). Others----1 with colon and lung, one Bc & sarcoma, Chit forgetting the others..

Of 21 women, 9 have had BC. 3 premenopausal, 6 post menopausal

Some rare ones. Like dear brother had Chromophobe(sic) kidney cancer last summer. There' two others with kidney cancer. Tried to learn what type b/c it's rare. No one was interested to look back at records.

Even my own MO with the stupid tree in front of him won't do genetic screening. I've looked at Color Genomics testing. It's only 250$ and you don't need a doc's order.

Anywhoos, after a few years, I have given up trying to get them to pay attention. The whole lead a horse to water and drinking thing. The bottom line is, we have to take care of ourselves. Letting the family know they have risks and need surveillance is the best thing to do---------then let it go i.e. let they worry go. Hugs

sas-schatzi

Mags, OKay, hoping tests are neg. Glad you get to see your fav jazz folks. Hoping that the room gets done soon. It's been awhile...............

cb123

Sas,

My tree is not so full but everyone takes it seriously. I've had more years on this Earth than my mother and my 2 younger sisters. Probably just happened to catch it early. But my remaining siblings and my cousins all saw those cancer deaths occur, as well as my grandfather's.

I'm the first one who did the BRCA and the ones coming up all know they need to be tested. Or their parents do anyway. It's like diabetes running in your family, you just know it's there and you go get tested.

I had thyroid and BC. My niece just had a total thyroidectomy, same week I had DMX. That puts us at 4 generations.

I did have to remind them that this a $250 BRCA not a $3,000 oncotype.

Thanks for sharing, I'll add your fam to my prayers.

cb

PS That BRCA aint lying when it says 50/50 chance. Your numbers are almost exactly 50/50 on your dad's side.

cb123

Which brings me to Wikipedia. After a long night of rock and roll, I drifted off thinking there should be a wiki page for each person with cancer. A page where stats, therapies used and test results can live on to aid random anyones who want that aid or have questions.

I scribbled it on a notepad so I'd recall this morning and woke up and dug in. There are several supposed "cancer pedia" type websites but none of them are like googling up a person and getting all their wiki info.

I wonder how hard it would be for us each to start our own wiki pages under the same category, say : Category:Cancer awareness

The numbers would be staggering and the world would be shocked if it went viral. Imagine if every person with cancer made their own wiki page.

Pee-wee Herman has a wiki page, why shouldn't my family's cancer have one?

Too much invasion of privacy I imagine. It's really not my place to point out potential genetic flaws of other people.

Good morning friends- I hear the NE is getting snow today and hope everyone gets to get and keep spring soon? It is a lovely weekend here, I went to Home Depot yesterday to scope out some new patio furniture and saw many people loading up on plants, but outside of pansies, still a bit too early to put new stuff in the ground. After the 23rd, we should be mostly safe from a hard frost so I will wait until then to start buying up some of the plants I am looking to add to my pots. My perennials are doing well and excited to see some iris bulbs coming up for the first time since I planted them a couple years ago.

Sassy- that vase is a good foot tall and agreed, unusually large. It has been one of my favorites forever. My mother used to collect some beautiful vintage glass, and think we gave it to my aunt when we cleaned out the house when we moved her to CA (I have a few pieces). My aunt passed very suddenly after our mom passed in 2012, and my uncle (who is the cheapest person I have ever met) was trying to sell off her antiques to the family. Buy back your own stuff! I am not sure if there was any glassware as it was mostly furniture, but the whole thing just left a bad taste in my mouth. I won't be surprised if that glassware got sold too, but as you know, once you pass things along, you have no control over what happens to them.

Family is a real trip sometimes.

Hahahahaha. You are too much ShepK. And I didn't see nuthin'.

Forward, can't wait to see pictures of your renovation.

Jazzy, it is gray and cool outside here in nothern Cal. Good napping weather. Besides music, flowers make me happy too, so I might visit Home Depot sometime this week to get some pansies, cyclamen, and maybe some succulents. I don't think we will get the frost here until next winter. I can't believe your uncle. Wow! Yup, family can be a real trip.

Daughter had piano recital yesterday followed by Nephew's birthday. We had church this morning and I had to take my older daughter to have Senior ball gown altered as the child is short and her dress is super long. Can't believe how expensive it is to have a dress hemmed and altered...$60!!!! That's is more than most dresses I own. I need a nap.

Here is a picture of my younger sis (Captain America), daughter (Robin), niece(Batgirl), and nephew( Thor) at the birthday party.
