    Blessings, I suggest that you take your question, Vinnie's response, then your response and figure out were else to post it. You may want to take your last post then cut and paste Vinnie's post below it. Your explanation post before his response makes more sense , and is shorter-----just a suggestion.

    Remember when I spammed(MODS hate that word) about the knitted knockers.  Basically, when I think there is something that will benefit many members, I do a pop in post and then a C&P.

    Please, when you figure out how you want to do it , please, add it to mu Just Diagnosed -Get Prepared thread

    Smarrty I think put a post that said a new TE thread was starting. Thinking into the future , past TE's is a good thought. Putting the info on that thread may be valuable. :) sassy

    Bluebird YAY------now down to basics, I had brain sx too. That damn dexamethasone they give you is out into the universe, then you have to wean on prednisone, and your not supposed to bend. Could you please, follow all the instructions? ERhh I can say this b/c I didn't.

    Dog got caught in a thicket in the back yard------Few days home-----of course couldn't ask DB who was here to help------Suddenly, I find myself about 100 ft from the house in uneven earth. Had to put arms out horizontally to balance. Looked like I was trying to fly in the backyard---avoid----ask helper.

    Worst-----the limit of work bending should be at least 8-12 weeks . I was cleaning pool screen four weeks post op---2 weeks beyond clearance time. Legs almost buckled--serious feeling of loss of control of lower body half.-------lesson----serious cleaning and bending forget it for a couple of months at least or longer. No clue on how long. BUT at least 3 months from my not doing it perspective.

    Hi all

    So pleased to see Bluebird back. Well done and do as Sas says -rest and get better.

    Have been reading but not really posting. Feeling really sore so don't want to have a self pity party. Problem is I don't take pain meds so have pain, take them and the whole system gets bunged up and I can't go. Do really need something stronger but worried about reaction cause I react to many drugs.Grrrrr

    We were warned about a storm which came down from the tropics but luckily it missed us. Some parts of the country have been battered.

    Must go and check the lasagne which I am in the middle of making.

    Sorry,  I started L&H&P"s on the Catholic thread. I like it b/c it encompasses everything.I fell away from using it until I found badger again. She liked it and never stopped using it. 

    two interpretations.------do what and think what your thoughts want to do

                Love & hugs & prayers.....but I do like, love & heal & party...

                                                   L&H&P's

    Actually, both are what we believe. Some don't believe in prayer. Not sure that's the case here, but I love the concept in the 2nd interpretration of heal and party. So, I'll think all 5 thought's when I write it :)

    Since our lovely Bluebird is back, I feel I should change my avatar. I love the bluebird and received many compliments on it from people that didn't know Bluebird, and then I would explain.

    I copied to my storage place the directions given to Chevy. So , I'm going to try to chnage my avatar-------------after years of not having one------the first was a disaster, didn't want that again. The following are the directions I copied. Cami it did work, cuz I got the bluebird to come. That's why I stored it. I want to get my Schatzi's pic there. I'll work on it.---------------------------------------

    How to change avatar Chevyboy: Save the pic to your device with a right click or holding finger down on the pic until you get the save option. Different for different devices. Go to your BCO.org profile, click settings, go to your avatar setting, click on choose existing option, then pick our sweet bluebird.

    -----------------------

    What I learned is to open multiple browsers oh about a few months ago.: When you log in to BCO , then click the minimize sign in the top right corner. Then do it again, until you have as many BCO browsers open as you want.    For BCO,I'm opening about three pages. Because of the 2D6, I open a YouScript, Then b/c of wanting to drug check i open a dailymed.nlm, and I google ----iuse it in so many ways---the most is spelling tech words LOL. 

    The point is I figured this stuff out ----took me 3 years--------slow learner on some stuff.

    Now, Because I have multiple browsers open, I can be in the middle of a post and go looking for something without loosing the post  that hasn't been submitted---cool

    Let's see if I can change my avatar---that blue bird is special, but it belongs to our Lovely Bluebird that has come home to us. :) Happy your home babe.

    hi Owls and welcome Myra! Teka - love Cat Lady Barbie LOL!

    Checking in after a busy few days. Picked up sheets and mattress pad to make mom's new bed which was delivered Friday.  Laid in critical supplies like TP but will need to grocery shop.  Still need to buy a recliner and may do that tomorrow.  Thought it could wait until she got here but realized that, until the moving van arrives with the furniture, there's no where to sit except the bed and that won't do.

    Sassy, I had radioactive iodine for a hyperactive thyroid and it was given to me in pill form.  Got a micro-dose and scan one day to determine uptake rate and plan for full dose, which I got the next day.  Guy brings it to me in a lead-lined cask with the radioactive symbol emblazoned, cracks it open and smoke (from dry ice?) comes out, he dons thick rubber gloves and reaches in with tongs to get the pill.  Puts it in one of those little white cups and says here take this.  yikes!  They did say to stay away from children and old people for a few days.

    Tues I head to a conference for work then Fri fly to FL.  We start driving north on Sat.  Thinking three days drive but there's no hurry.  I took off all week to help her get settled in.  I'll be off the board for the better part of the next fortnight so please don't worry if you don't see me around!  Love&Hugs&Prayers to all ♥

    Badger-----I read essenitally the same thing---except no where did it talk about animals---so we are preparing for shats and dini. The day I get the pill, they so far have told me I have ti stay in a room---not an admitted, but a room. We''l see. one step at a time. I did find a thread just recently started, but I don't want to be there.

    Isn't something the way they bring it? I used to watch it. Those folks get paid BIG $'s

    Any whos I'm going to conquer this avatar thingy

    hey ladies newbie here but can't sleep.  

    I need some advice. I am coping great with diagnoses and DMX 3 weeks post op. Mel, my partner, not so much. She is angey, stressed and depressed. She tells me all the time why her not me. She is pretending to be ok but everyday I see more signs of her breaking down. She says I love you so much all the time. She waits on me hand and foot and helps me dress my insecions. She is my world and I hate to see her this way. After 12 yrs I know her and can read her body and sometimes her mind... Not really but feels like it. I just don't know what to do she has refused to go talk to a professional. Any ideas. I thank her all the time and reasure how much I appriciate her.... Any thoughts....

    Meremere, you and I were dx'd on the same friggin' day. Friday the 13th!  As soon as I found out I went to the library and grabbed every book I could. I even grabbed one called Breast Cancer For Husbands. Not sure what was in there but it sure seem to help my hubby. It might be helpful to your partner. He was the same way too. I could see him going through alot of emotions as well. She may need to see that her emotions are all normal  and others go through the same things. My husband laughed/cried when he got to a part talking about "car cryers" because that's what he did. Hopefully if you find the book for her it may help...both of you. Best of luck.

    Mere sometimes the people who love us go thru it worse than we do--it's an adjustment--like Teka said just plain scared--we're busy with treatment and all they can do is watch and hurt with us and worry, more. Therapy can help, educating themselves can help and u can help---We've always said this is very hard on the family it's not just focused on us. Lift her spirits with some stories with good results that may help.

    Sass!  How can you be "missing" and NOT have an Avatar?  Are you broke?  Did you screw everything up?  That's usually what me and Cammi do?  And how can you get 1000 posts so fast?   What did you TAKE?  You have more energy than that Bunny person!
