Okay, but that's alright..... If you click the name, Vinnie seems to know a lot about what the gals are asking about....  He posts on other threads also!  Maybe Blessings would welcome his suggestions....

Just don't let Lil-shit ziggers find this out!   by the way ziggy, I LOVE that song!

Hi ladies - haven't been on much because my shoulder has been so painful, but wanted to let you know that I'm still hangin' round.  Sas - I had no idea that the thyroid could affect so much!!  I'm glad the surgery was successful for you.  Be sure you take good care of yourself and pay close attention to your gut feelings.  Sounds like they are accurate and worthy of attention!!

Bluebird - so glad you are feeling better.

I just deleted my last public post on the *Post your tech glitches, errors, problems, etc. here.* thread.

Moderators are ignoring my public post!

Gumby hello, thanks I'm pushing, and folks are working. So  we shall see. The bummer that i'm feeling right now is the admission by the pathologist that he misread the biopsy tissue in July of last year. It'll take me awhile to work through the emotionalism on that one. That's 7 months of delayed treatment. Sucks. But people are working. The weekend is getting in the way LOL "Always something". The second opinion dx clearly sees/apapilary-follicular ca in both lobes. But thanks for thinking of me.

How's the new house? Settled in? anything fun happening? sassy

Hi all you little owl-towel-ettes!  I would say I've been reading but not posting but that would be a big fat lie.  I've not been reading OR posting....because I suck.  I had a little rash at the ankle monitor site when my mink cover for it wore through.  Those monitors are kind of irritating, in MANY ways.  This time I painted it with 1960's flower power design with nail polish.  It's pretty cool. 

I think someone mentioned TENS stuff to me, but now I can't find it.  I did try the TENS unit just to get an idea of the sensation it causes.  Too bad it won't work for the nerve pain (or so the docs say).  If I get the neurostimulator thingy, I won't do that until after May sometime.

I loved all the bluebird pictures, however far back they were. Other pictures too, but now they are all jumbled up in my memory bank.

I'm leaving next week on my road trip and hope to see Lovelygoats and Sassyfras.  Maybe Beatmon too!  Here is how my route will look:

and   The green is my route there and the blue is my route back.  Okay, it doesn't exactly get me home to where the green line starts, but I can be creative when necessary. 

Love you ladies,

P

Hey, sas.  We are pretty well settled in.  Hubby is working this week on rentals up north.  Two weeks of the next three I'll be working back at my old company, as they are a little short handed, and we can use a little extra money.  Both hubby and I have really bad back problems, so he's doing PT right now.  We decided to change couches and see if that helps, so sold our old one and purchased a new one - it will hopefully be delivered soon.  In the meantime I've got my rocker and he's got his "stressless" recliner, so at least we've got seating.

We still have to hang the shades in the family room and the pictures everywhere else.  Getting hubby to hang them (pictures) is always a challenge.  He likes having them on the walls but, doesn't like the process of getting them there.  As a result, it seems that he never hangs them until it's time to put the house on the market as a step in staging it.  We have a lovely old (and I do mean OLD) dining room set that is solid mahogany.  I think I'd like to sell it and get something that is less cumbersome.

In the meantime, I'm plotting the changes I want to make in the yard.  I've started planting my herbs (still have a lot more to go, but it's a start).  I want a fountain, and I'm trying to think of a way to salvage an old bench.  I was watching a tv show or movie or something anyway... and there was a bench in the show that was very bright and creative.  I'm not clear at all on how I would go about doing it, but I'm going to start giving it some thought....

thanks second time.  I will give that a try.  

crog234

Yeah it worked. Thanks.  Don't know why when I tried it last night it would not do it...  Oh well it worked this time.  Thanks again for your help 2nd time around....

Gumby have you been to Houzz.com----Millions of design pics---it's free. You plug in what you want to look at and then can go page to page with amid page arrow click. Takes a wee bit to get used too, but it is so much fun.

I'm almost done with the bathroom. the one where the toilet was on the pool deck for months. A few items to go and it'll be done Phyliss is coming for a visit in April, so, let DBF and his friend do the job. Almost perfect. The one imperfection is of course in the middle of the room just at eye level. OH well. I put a TV in the bathroom LOL.  But thinkink resale down the road. My keywords at Houzz were marble bathroom and TV. Very fun.

Sorry about the backs. I need two new beds. A double and a single. DBF and I either claim or sleep in the one soft cushy single bed. 

I'll bring back houzz's link

I had so much fun today!  DD came to get me.... and we went to Olive Garden for lunch.... Then on the way home, we stopped at Sprouts for a few things.... You know, I am not cooking a corned beef and cabbage this year!  We really don't eat it, so I just bought a pound of sliced corned beef!  Now I have to get some good bread and thousand-island dressing, and we will be happy....

Then we came back to my house, and watched Shirley Temple in "Curly-top" !!  It was sooo cute!  We cuddled up under big blankets, with the heating pad, and just sat there like we had nothing else to do!   DD #1 gave her Sister a set of Shirley Temple movies, so next time she is off, we will have a picnic, here, and watch another movie! 

Just nice to relax with my silly Daughter!  She tries to help me walk, and thinks I am an invalid or something....But I show HER!   No time for pretending I am sick or something.    The Doctor DID say, you are NOT sick, you are "Broken"..... big difference there.  I think I am pretty much healed up though.   Just need to get stronger.

She helped me move my huge hanging plant....  Got up on that step stool, like she knew what she was doing....  didn't even fall.... once!   I was holding her butt, and she finally laughed, and said "A lot of good THAT will do, if I fall!" 

Sass, have you tried one of those nice, big sponge mattress toppers?  I have one, with a big feather-bed on top.... But the feathers get so squashed down, I'm thinking of just giving it up, and getting another nice mattress topper. 

Okay little Blue-bird..... Heard you were home.... now we are just waiting to hear from you..... Rest lots....  drink chocolate cokes!  Love you!

Chevy - sorry you're still broken but very happy you got to hold your DD's butt!  Sometimes they don't like stuff like that.

luvmygoats

I recently got to hold my DD's hand but not her butt. Chevy I'm jealous.

OK grocery done for the week but I have to buy a baby gift card. Is the go to place Babies R Us or Buy Baby Buy? I can get both at local grocery. Nothing like waiting until the last minute. I see grandparents tomorrow night. I kinda wanted a Target card but didn't see that there. DH will prob. not let me stop anywhere else. He'll be p***ed enough I didn't do this today. Of course we don't have weather here for a couple of weeks. What is due tomorrow - yup severe storms.

Spookiesmom

camillegal

Good Evening!!   8:18pm

I can still post a photo from thread to thread.

I still cannot post a photo to the threads.

I haven't been completely f***ed over.

Enjoy the weekend!!!

Somehow this thread came off of my favorites list and I thought it had just up and disappeared! aggghhh...I panicked lol

Feeling better today I took my 4 year old dd out this evening to get our nails painted. She LOVED it! She picked purple and they put glitter on top of that and a little flower on her thumbs. I got mine painted too, I really wanted a pediure but it's a no-no during chemo

I was embarressed today. I ran into a lady I know that works at the oncology center I go to. She saw me and asked what I had on my head....like I looked bad or something. I guess I did..but I had watched a video on how make a head wrap out of a tee-shirt and I tried it. I thought it looked cute, but maybe I didn't.

wishing everyone a good weekend!

Tang, don't ya hate when that happens?  4 yo girls are so fun!

VINNIE!!!!!

I can't believe you took the time to not only read my post, but reply to me - I feel honored!!!

Your explanation makes perfect sense. I have felt the port since my Exchange in August 2012. At the time, the PS said it was no big deal. He also was aware that I was planning to go see you for 3D tatts, and was eager for me to come back and show him the results. He could not believe that the pics I showed him were not done on reconstructed nipples and areolas. (I did not have NAC recon.)

Unfortunately, I do believe the port is located in the area where you would be tattooing... and I do feel that it is even more palpable than it was a year and a half ago... leading me to believe that the subQ fat has indeed atrophied. Waaaa!

But I will make that appointment with the PS for an overall check. Thank you again for your excellent advice!

LADIES - I must have missed it, but there may have been some confusion as to why Vinnie Myers was responding to me in this thread? Waaaaay back on page 340, I asked the question if anyone here had an issue with feeling the port on their saline implants. It had occurred to me that if the skin were so thin I could feel the port, that perhaps the 3D nipple tatts I wanted would not be possible. And tonight I check this thread, and who answers me, but Vinnie himself!

Yes, Vinnie is a totally legitimate member and poster here. I have been researching 3D nipple tattoos since before my BMX and recon in December 2011. I have looked at a gazillion pics of tattooed breasts, and trust me on this: Vinnie is the absolute best. He combines years and years of medical experience in working with breast cancer survivors, with the incredible talent of creating the most lifelike images of a nipple and areola where none exists. He re-creates what cancer took away.

I mean no disrespect to other artists who do nipple tattoos... it's just that in my opinion (as a former artist), his work is beyond compare. 

His office is in Maryland; he also works out of the Center for Restorative Breast Surgery in New Orleans. For more information, visit his website at http://vinniemyers.com/home.html
