Hi everyone I've been off the boards for days and it took a long time to catch up! I went to my sisters house for a while until DH settled down. It's a pain in the __s. Dragging around suitcases and stuff isn't good for the arm and he isn't good for my head/wellbeing. I did finally get an appointment with the best LE Dr. in the area for next week though.
Gina I have really large breasts too. I had them do my rads lying on my stomach so I got less exposure to my chest wall and lungs. It worked out great and my skin didn't break down at all.Was your lump on the bottom of your breast? Maybe it would be possible to change the orientation. If you are really big go to a Kmart or Walmart and get a huge bra to sleep in. I put a real thin cotton undershirt on with the bra over it so it wouldn't rub. I also used those Kleenex disposable paper hand towels under my breasts to stop the skin underneath from deteriorating. Hope this info helps.
Hello to everyone and well wishes to all. Hi SAS!

Hello. Once again I fell asleep watching tv in the recliner and am up and awake at 2 am. Upstairs neighbor must be rearranging furniture, as there is a lot of noise going on. Some people do not realize that apartment living requires a little bit of respect and courtesy, but I will get off of my soap box for now.
I did not know that Vit D is helpful with sleep. Since mine is back to normal now, I do not notice any difference in sleep patterns.
Not sure I know those shows, ejays. What is the theme? Any big stars in them?

Hi 3 jays Hi Gram!
I won't be here long tonight but its good to hear from you all. I've been taking vitamin D too, mine was really low. As soon as it gets low the tendonitis in my foot returns. Maybe it just helps us to relax more.. so we sleep better ? I had alot of laughs with my sister so Easter was fun. How about everyone else? Hope you're feelin' better 3 jays!

A big wind storm just blew through here. I could hear the gate in the back banging back and forth against the garage and the cat was yowling. For some reason my dogs do not get upset when it srorms, but the cat does. He is a pretty good barometer....before a heavy rain or storm hits, the cat takes off and hides in the closet.
Here I thought I was no longer having sleep issues and even before I heard the wind or the cat, it was like someone punched my ON button and I was wide awake. I am having my second cataract surgery done on Friday.

Hi niteowls.
I am sure praying that we hear in from all our friends in the path of these terrible storms. So sorry to hear of this tragedy. LadyinBama where are you?
Me I am pretty well recuperated from this stomach bug. DH got a minor version of it so I guess it wasn't food poisoning. Crazy, so, so bad. If I had started Arimidex I know I would have thought it was a SE. My DH said If he was as sick as I was he would have been in the hospital. I have to wonder what it would take for him to TAKE me to the hospital. I was nearly delirious, just laid there all one day except for throwing up right there laying down. Then repeated from other direction, (I know TMI) My MO's nurse told me yesterday afternoon I would need to go tho the ER if I didn't get fluid into me pretty quick. I was already feeling better by then though.
If you get something like this bug beware it is the worst I ever had in 65 years! Call somebody.
Love you all and continuing to pray for the storm victims.

Ginger glad you are doing better--------these storms , I guess we won't get the real news for a few days----------hope all continues well.
Myself depending on Ativan -------didn't want to do it , but life was getting to messed up without it. So, when I'm here late at night it ain't working.
It's an approach avoidance thing. Hate having to take a drug, but desire sleep. Miss not talking to the southlanders.
