love love love the Cat in the hat poem!!  It fits!!!

FierceBluebird

holeinone, I'm puttering around the house doing some light spring pick up. I'm reading and watching tv and using my computer but in limited doses. The screen time really bothers my eyes after awhile. 

Next week is filled with dr. appointments. Ugh. Surgery scheduled on the 18th to get my expander out. They can't do an MRI with it in there. But once I get treatment underway I'm hoping the anxiety will lesson. 

Chevyboy

Ah Sheesh!  She caught it from me!  Nettie I mean!  I was that way Yesterday!   But today is much better!  And HE CAN PUT HIS FOOT DOWN without flying up to the ceiling!!!   I am sooooo thankful!  And his mood is much better!  Little Brat!  He is staying off of that foot...  and I haven't run over it with the car yet!    I will behave!  And we will give it more time!  I won't get nervous and scared, and keep thinking it won't ever heal.

I loved the Cat in the Hat!  I remember reading those books to my girls when they were little.... One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish!  They were so cute!  My Mom had bought them the whole series...I saved them, and read them to my Grand-sons! 

GOOD 2ndtime!  I'm glad I can make you smile, even when I don't feel like it myself...Ha! 

And Nettie!  Now my back hurts too!  So that's because I walk crooked, or limp!  You need to get some type of scan.... I had back surgery  about 25 years ago, and really doing good.... but instead of getting younger, I find myself getting older, and things hurt randomly!   So if I keep using my cane for all that stuff going on with my HIP, then I won't limp, and make my back hurt! 

Oh Damn!  He just made it out back with the walker!  He is going stir-crazy, I know....  I just don't want him to hurt it more...  I had better go see if I need to have the paramedics stand by......

Morning all. Was going to post some pictures for Chevy but left my camera in my friends car, never mind will do them later.

Must do some work.

Smaarty

Bear hat at breakfast!

thanks for the laughs. Hope everybody's week gets better. Have already got 10,000 steps in at Disneyland, feet hurt, we're back in room and resting. Having fun is hard work!  Resting in our room, cool, quiet and off our feet. Maybe we will hit the pool in a bit.

no clue how far behind--but I'm here. Not trying to catch up right now, but am having an Ativan moment without the ativan. Phyily'sonherwayfromhoustonwillbeherethurs. Spookie will be here Sunday. Philly's stopping in New Orleans and maybe Talahassee. Taking pics along the way. She's a real artist with pics

Several newbie lurkers have PM'd me, Not ignoring your PM's.....just in a bit of a panic mode, shouldn't be but it is what it is when I calm down I'll answer

LOL maybe some wine would help. 

Caught a few post---Aly hope you found your earring, Did the same, 25 years ago still miss that stupid thing Same about the singing.

Dwilli nice to see you here Will answer soon

Bathroom--- tp rollers are up. Only need to hang mirror and pics. In the space of all and everyone's troubles I shouldn't post about it, but it's just put the whole house in chaos for so long. Stove to be delivered soon, feel like the one that's here is a safety risk. I make myself crazy when I think safety. Seems just when I get to the end of one "something another something" pops up either medically or surroundings. Guess that's where the panic is buggering me.

Littlegoats----glad you had your trip, but also, agree camping is not what it used to be.

Ziggy yes, changing the world can be put on hold for awhile

Blessings, that chicken walking on your fresh cement, Would be cute if intentional, but a chit when it's not.

Bluebird, maybe moving ahead with that treatment while still trying to get 2nd opinion. You can change from whole to directed.

Tang hope you are doing okay

Chevy, keep that ornery *** listening to you----yeah like that's going to happen. 

Looks like Music didn't stay...okay may be she found a home that works better for her

Nettie Hugs

Teka---are go to gal for visuals YAY

The thyroid withdrawal treatment before  the pill (april 21st) is likely the cause of me being unglued. Knowing the cause doesn't make the weird unglued feeling any better. Doc said I would feel awful. Hypothyroid can really mess with every cell and totally screw with the brain. Two weeks--two weeks--one minute at a time.

Holeinone

Smarrty, look at you ! Sweet photo, how fun. Enjoy the pool..

F. Bluebird, thanks for the update. Hope the 18th gets here soon for you, wish they could move things up for you. 

Hello Dwill & all

2TA- TOO FUNNY!!!

Smaarty - that's just about the cutest bear hat I've seen.... you go, Girl!

OMG, I am falling apart. Saw the MO this morning, have gained a CONSIDERABLE amount of weight, but even worse, my BP was 167/96. (It was 108/68 before the Femara!) 

The nurse took it again before I left; it had gone down to 146/76. But a few minutes ago, my PCP's nurse called and said the doc wanted to see me... apparently they rat you out at Kaiser - if your BP is high in ANY department, they email your PCP, and she has her minions track you down!!!

Well, I already had made an appt to see her tomorrow... she wants me on statins and BP meds... and I am going to throw myself at her feet and beg her to give me six weeks to get the numbers down on my own...

Bye-bye snacks!!! Helloooooooo Optifast and exercise!!!

sassy, cute avatar! Now listen good, try to limit yourself, if you overdo, you may regret it, especially with PhyllistoppingatHouston and Spookiesmom on their way to visit. Look, the bathroom works, the toilet, the sink, the tub/shower. If the TP rolls aren't up, that's not important as long as there is TP. I'll bet they don't care about the stove but they care about YOU! It will be no fun it you're hurting and can't be present. Bring food in if necessary. You need to s-l-o-w down some. As I recall you were recently in the hospital, surgery? Take it easy, please!

PhyllistoppingatHouston and Spookiesmom, is there a problem with that?

End of lecture....

Blessings, WTH? We need to get you well too. If you figure out how to change that real quickly, ple let me know.

Smaarty, love the bear hat! My PM was too late. Hoping you're enjoying our beautiful weather, thanks for bringing it with, perfect for the pool. Wishing you were here a bit longer....

FBB, can you be up on a cancellation list?

High Blood Pressure is the Silent Killer!

I developed high blood pressure while taking Chemo and *Avastin* in a Clinical Trial, and continue to take high blood pressure medication.

Early owlettes balancing on a roof:

 See how I did that without calling Chevy and Cami  old?

So Chevy, I'll put my plans of kicking your hubby's a$$ on hold for a bit since he said 'sorry' but if you reconsider, just call. I'll be ready. 

2 timer - I have LOTS of room on my window sills and I love indoor plants. 

Spookiesmom

Uh, yeah, TP is good. Useful stuff. Stoves, not so much. Mirrors, I break 'em if I use 'em.7 years bad luck if you break one. Must be why I got ca.

Phyloinn'owlens must be having a blast on Bourbon St. Pretty city.

Ziggy love the pic!

Sassy-thanks for looking out for me sorry you are feeling so screwy, I wonder if it is anything like when I tried to stop taking Celexa cold turkey. I never felt so flipping wacked out in my life! ((hugs))

Blessings-sorry about the bp. I developed high BP with my last pregnancy and it never went away. I hope you can convince them to let you try on your own.

Oh man..I was trying to address everyone individually and I can't keep up! lol

Taxes still ned to be done...shit!!

love and hugs!

Blessings, It will be interesting to see what your BP is at your PCP. Mine runs high 30's/low 40's at my PCP; it's always over 160 at the onc. At home it's lower still, but I'm not sure I trust the new monitor. I'm on 2 BP meds plus potassium. Both sides of my family had high blood pressure and heart disease. Genetically, I'm a sitting duck. No breast cancer on either side tho and look at me.

You shouldn't be allowed to go to NOLA unless you're willing to eat. I usually walk so much more that I don't gain.

BTW I keep changing my avatar -------now that I have learned to change it. I will and have been changing to what ever my mood is----it's quite nice. I was feeling unglued earlier in the day. I'm trying to download a Radioactive symbol for April 21st when I receive the "pill" but haven't been successful. There is time between now and then. It raelly is quite nice to control what the avatar expresses L&H&P"s sassy

Pyhilly LOL, Those who have never taken a swamp boat rid--------wear glasses,  keep your mouth shut----it's high speed and when the bugs hit-------UGH.

Blessings, PLease--- Read 2D6 thread........it could change your bodies response to drugs b/c you are getting the appropriate drug dose--plus your doctors practicaI approach to practice------I changed both my counselors and PCP's approach to all medication administration

Ziggy I'm tired of finding or thinking of correct spelling or alternate words, so, if I chit spell wrong . F** it . All else applies in translations. The translations are funny as hell.

Yes, wine on board-----------panic feelings gone----------bless alcohol
