    Got through all my cooking today for my friend who just had back surgery. Yeah me. Now I sleep for two days. Yeah me again. I need it now.

    Anyone out there who prayers, send some up for me that there is nothing wrong with my heart . Having problems breathing when I do steps or bike...stuff that hadn't bothered me before. Had the lungs all checked out yesterday, they are good. Now a stress test and Eco on my heart. My sensible daughter said.....maybe it's just six years on chemo and you need to slow down.....not sure I know how to do that . Friend thinks it's asthma...but I recover to quickly I think for it to be asthma . Anyway...prayers would be appreciated.

    susan. Stopping now to pray for you. Yes Elena is still within normal for her age. My ds2 had a huge head we adopted him at three months and several people thought he had down syndrome just because his big head. For positive. Biological Mon did drugs while pregnant and while breast feeding. We went to so very many drs. Locally and at two different children's hospital several hours away. Everything was fine. In fact he is way above average for intelligence . Before he was two e was asking questions like what is a abstract painting? Knew his alphabet at about two. Was reading on a 3 Rd grade level when entering kindergarten. Ds1 is two grades seas of him and he would listen when we did ds1 homework and most of the times He would come up with the answer first. Drove ds1 crazy He did run into a lot of things when he started walking. Bless his heart his big head hit this one wall we have so many times we ended up putting up some foam mattress stuff. He hates to be reminded of his big head. I tell him it was because is brain was so big. Lol. He finally grew into , somewhat. He wears a bigger that then dh. Lol

    funny. I see a lot of big and small heads in body proportion in my hairdressing. Wet hair doesn't camouflage the head. But our dry hair hides a lot..lo

    I wear a larger hat size than DH. Most women's hats are too small. He bought me a really cute gardening hat a few years ago and it just won't go on.

    Wren I am another "big head" too. Got some great hats from a US cancer supplies place called 'Headcovers' when I was bald, their hats were extra roomy to cover the complete head, and these are the hats I still wear. DS is another. Always had to buy adult size bike helmet, hats etc when he was a kid.

    This is an old heartwarming story. I heard it for the first time this morning on NPR while on my way to drop DD2 off for swim practice and wanted to share. On 9/11 we not only saw the worst of humanity, but also the actions that restored our faith.

    Feline, thank you for the photos of DD in action! So graceful and lovely.

    WildT, are you recovering?

    JeanQ, hope you can gather all the necessary info to make the best decision for yourself.

    Susan, maybe your friend is right about the asthma. Well at least that is what we hope. Are you retaining water? Swollen feet?

    JunieB, is the dark cloud following you? Are you behaving yourself?

    Hello to my other friends.

    Hi ladies, I am finally recovering from my illness that started a week ago. It ended up being bronchitis or pneumonia. I went to Dr Wed and got antibiotics, but had bad SE's so called in and got a new one yesterday. I didn't have a voice for two full days this week, and that was a challenge because I was supposed to be training in a new person at work. I still have some coughing and a headache, but I think I've been without a fever for two days now!

    Today was the memorial service for my ex father in law. My kids and I had to leave at 9 am and after visitation, service, and luncheon people gathered at ex in laws house. I was invited back to the house, stayed a couple hours and didn't get home until after 5 pm. My kids are now with their dad. It was such a loud, long day..glad to have some quiet. I have 4 nieces in their 20's from that side of the family, and it was really nice to see all of them! Before we left this AM I had a neighbor come over and take a picture of me and kids all dressed up.

    More to come!

    Trying to catch up, as I've mostly been reading.

    Susan, your grand baby is SO cute! How are you doing?

    Lori, How was the infusion this week? I'm so sorry about what you are going through with your Mom. It's hard when you are put in the position of being unable to care for others. I hope you are taking good care of yourself!!

    Sensi, how are you feeling?

    Susan, Loverly, Sas, Thank you for your concern about me. :)

    Shep, I loved when you said, "If a shoes drop, just pick them up so nobody trips." And I'll take man from pic # 1 please!!

    Queenie, that's awesome that you are going to school. I'm also about 30 years out of HS and currently assessing what my next step is going to be. I cannot continue the same work for much longer, and need to figure out a direction, and perhaps educate/get some training.

    Jazzy, I hope you are having fun with your friend. Wow...5lbs in one months is a good, steady amount of weight loss. Good for you!!

    Feline, BEAUTIFUL pics of your DD! She must be an amazing dancer.

    Loverly, I'm going to watch the 9/11 stories now. Thanks for posting!

    JunieB: Are you ok? ShepK has danced so hard to lure you out, but we still did not see you! Hope you are just resting, and no more dislocation of the hip.

    Tulip, your twins are so different, they are lovely. Love to see your son still hug you like that!

    Loverly, yes, I went to school and worked in San Francisco before moving to Texas. Don't like highway 5, but it's the easiest way to go to LA.

    I read but don't post often ( only when the wind turns this direction).Hi to other Owlettes.

    Hello Ladies,

    I am here. Just been kinda out of sorts and tired. Since my ANC didn't rebound during my last week off of the Ibrance (my count was only 1.14 when I restarted) I'd guess it is pretty low right now. I have bloodwork due next Wednesday.

    I have checked in a couple times, but only read some posts. Since my last treatment on Aug 31st I've been having the darnedest time with insomnia, but no energy. I'd be sleepy, but the minute I laid down I'd be wide awake. Been getting to bed about 5 a.m. - 7 a.m., and sleeping 5-6 hours. Last night was the same.

    Anyway, today is day 27 and NO hip dislocations. YEAH! Muscles & ligaments, etc are still painful, but after three weeks of using the wheelchair I started walking with my walker again. Fibromyalgia is kicking my behind too. I am behaving myself and so far so good. Do not want to experience that pain again.

    Loverly - Glad you had a good visit with you daughter. When I was a kid, Saturdays were house cleaning day, but my Mother did let me watch Scooby-Doo and I think one other cartoon before she turned the TV off and had me help her.

    Sorry Shep for missing your dancing :0) Miss Pris does have you wrapped around her little paw. But she's so cute, how can you resist? The pic of the Yorkie with her hu-Man, so cute.

    Puppy porn! Shep, you're so naughty! Did you read that I called the breeder and she said that the mating of her dogs took place about 3 weeks ago. So just waiting for the another 6 weeks for the birth to see how many males there are.

    Who ever posted that pic of the zebra on the giraffe, that was cute. However I missed the meaning of the camel being in the way and had to have a 20 something explain it to me. Oh well.

    Sensi - I hope your treatment is going well. Great pic of Chance taking care of you.

    WildT - Are your kiddos doing better? Everyone looks great in your pic.

    Feline - The pics of your daughter dancing are breathtaking.

    Queenie - Congrats on going back to school. Before I was dx'd with the Mets, I had gone back to finish my degree for Medical Records & Coding. But apparently it wasn't meant to be. Instead now I'll just focus now on getting my puppy trained to go visit hospital/rehab centers (if I actually get one this time).

    Thanks Teka for the cute little owlies.

    Susan - How was your Elena day? She is getting more adorable as she grows. Are you feeling okay? Also, I really don't understand why in the world your family would expect you to shower after your run. You & Claire looked cute with all that paint on you. Very colorful! It would certainly give other patrons at the restaurant something to talk about.

    PattyP - Good to see you posting again.

    JazzyGirl - Cool room. Glad you enjoyed yourself. You work very hard and deserve it.

    So hard to believe it is already almost Fall and the holidays will be here before we can blink.

    Well I'm going to say goodnight and I hope everyone is able to rest peacefully. Until next time.

    Yikes! I was about to log out and saw that I didn't say Hi to Eeyore, so HELLO to you.

    If I missed anyone else so sorry.

    JazzyJuneBug,

    I'm pleased that you continue to have NO hip dislocations. I seldom lurk, but keep tabs on your public posts through Dashboard Friends. Take it slow and easy and enjoy the Fall.

    Our backyard is getting a little Fall color!!

    I love autumn leaves, especially against a blue sky. We hiked around the pond to Thoreau's house on a beautiful October day. Gorgeous.

    Eeyore, Thank you! Yes, my children and I are affectionate. Although in recent years DS has not wanted me to hug him in front of his friends. A totally normal reaction! It's funny..DS got my eye color, but looks just like his dad. DD got dad's eye color but has my features. DD is only about 4' 7" and will not grow anymore. The two have pretty different personalities also

    Junie, Yes...the kids are better thank you. I'm so glad you have been staying out of the ER, but I wish you felt better. The fibro pain on top of insomia and treatments has got to be terrible. Hugs!

    JunieB, it's good to see you checking in. I thought we had to send these guys out to take you to the ER again. I'm glad you are behaving. I'm sorry the fibromyalgia and fatigue are tag teaming you.

    WildT, yay for on the road to recovery. Quiet time is good for the soul. Sweet looking twins! You have beautiful skin. I had too much exposure to the sun during my younger days😔 Loved and still love the beach.

    Gotta stop looking at these fine fellows. (sniff) NONE of FF's work photos ever looked like this! They all looked like the "before" pictures for some weight loss and exercise program. Now I am sad.... 😓

    WildT - Although I struggle with the fibro and such, I still think I have it pretty good. I know that there are other people dealing with far worse situations than me. I do need that puppy though. He will give me someone to pamper and more motivation to get my backside moving.

    How pretty those trees are Teka. The leaves here in Salem haven't started changing just yet, but I'm sure it won't be long.

    Loverly & Shep - If those guys came to get me, I'd be totally dumbstruck and speechless. Especially since when you need their help, you're not at your best.

    When I fell last month I was in my gardening clothes and covered in dirt, plus I was all sweaty. Eeew! Oh well.
