Welcome Littlegoats and Blondie, glad , very glad you came to visit, hope you visit often , have missed you
Littlegoats after drug testing came about in the early 80's, I never had any until after retired after BC. Tried it for pain. It helped , but couldn't use it while DH was declining b/c I had to much to think about. Since my brain was screwed by AI's , the one disasterous chemo, and anesthesia , it was off the menu. MY Brain, I know has been permanently affected from that time. PTSD is still an issue. Counselor has difficulty figuring out my "issues". LOL, Hey, I'm a 1950's raised Catholic. Besides that he thinks I'm ADD or ADHD. AND I've had 8 closed head injuries. 6 on left --2 on right. All from my right ankle turning(bad ligaments--a wet surface or a pebble are my nemeses). My joke for years and still is, was if you hear that I die from a head injury --know that it was my right ankle that killed me. Then add the brain sx, my brain is screwed. Also, on the paternal side, of the ten brothers and sisters, 7 either had/have dementia. My siblings and I hope we got mom's genes on that one.
Now as with all the drugs and pot, I have to reach a 6/7 total body pain or higher if it's just an individual area, to take/use something. I do admit, I have intentionally had more pain free days this last year simply b/c I could. But I fear addiction and cumulative affect of drugs on the brain. A pain free day is so delicious. Pre BC I'd known only a few ever. Not looking for sympathy or whining, it just what is.
Gota cook DBF calling LOL I should let him cook, but I do enjoy cooking again.

you're right, chicken sit is hard. Try is 3 times!
Had maybe my last fill this morning, went to lunch then watched "Saving mr. Banks". Good movie, it's amazing that Mary Poppins got made at all. Going to have to rent, haven't seen it since I was a kid. Found something interesting today. We don't know if I'm filled to 450 or 500cc right now. Turns out I was told I started with 100 but the paperwork says I started with 50. So next week I have to decide if I like the way I am now or get another 50, which will make me 500 or 550. Sceesh, I hate having to decide this stuff. Tonight it's feeling tight for the first time.maybe I'll play it by ear or boob as the case may be.
My grandson is using pot for nerve pain, he has CNPS, apparently they can take the "high" part out. In CA its medical only. I think his doc thinks he's just getting high and won't sign his disability paperwork anymore.
I think I'll get DH to fix dinner tonight. I hope everyone has a good 2014. I'm not sorry to see 2013 go.

JULIa Hellooooooooooooand happy New Year too. Missed you too. Hope all your old folks are doing okay
Smarrty, hard choices. Just have him put it in writing on the CONSENT. Large like mine end up fluffing and dropping to saggy baggy, and heavy. I may considered a reduction cuz 850cc just are ugly. DBF loves them, but they seriously look old an droopy in clothes when I see myself in a window. I remember when I was filled to 500cc, I thought they were perfect. Can't remember did you consult with Whippetmom? The higher fills ---fills it out at the lower end mammary fold and to the side. That's where they look saggy baggy to me. You aren't even considering where I'm at so effectively, what I'm doing is just blowing off steam about how I dislike mine. I'd just delete this, but maybe someone lurking that wants the 800- to 850cc may reconsider.

Teka what's the count to a better New Year-------for everyone
-
Smarrty, CNPS if it is Chronic nerve pain syndrome which used to be called RSD Reflexive sympathetic Dystrophy. That's a nasty syndrome. The old movie the last one that_________(blank---she was in Miracle on 34th street, Gypsy, married Richard Wagner twice, died by falling off a boat). SPLAT need to remember the point......................Ah, they had a helmet that the doc could put on, and they'd feel your pain. If that ever happens, we won't have this garbage of doc's and other practioners denying a solution. But that's allot why I'd rather live at a higher pain level then be treated the way in to many cases, that patients are treated. Whew way to heavy for this special time.
MAY THE NEW YEAR BRING BETTER SOLUTIONS FOR EVERYONE.

Bless you all, going to go to dear neighbors behind me to bring in the new year. You all are very special people. Thank you for being in my life, you bring joy to each day L&H&P's sheila

Sassy - I have a bit of ADHD or something. Memory is shot. Example - we were going to trade my car in and I got it washed. Well, it misted, froze and car looked like c**p again. Oh, thought DH is going to be pi$$ed. But we had already decided not to trade it 2 days b4 that. How the mind gets on something and will not let it go. I did fall into a coffee table in 1st grade. I remember waking up in DM's bed but heck nobody did anything in those days unless you were near death. Knock on wood I've never been in an ER, DH only for a kidney stone and DD never.
No, not drug testing but more worried about group we were with and possession. This is Texas and I'm NOT Willie Nelson. Could just see me getting kicked out of nursing school.
Dinner - we had hamburgers and french fries and I made DH help make the burgers. Tomorrow is black eyed peas and what I find in the freezer. Oh and cornbread.
Smaarty - I haven't been to the movies in years but I want to see Saving Mr. Banks. Mary Poppins was just on one of the Disney channels. The animated parts bore me to tears. But my favorite is "Come Feed the Birds" and I found it on YouTube.
Sassy - You're trying to think of Natalie Wood.
-
Smaarty, just posted the quote you posted for me on my FB page. I can't figure out how to save it to my phone yet. Know I'll be thinking of you every time I see it. Thank you!
-
wishing everyone a Happy Healthy New Hear. It's almost here!!!!
