    And I LOVE VEGGY!!! Anyone who says we are bitter...really has no idea how bitter we actually may be. (Wink wink, nudge nudge...at least that's what I think).

    Fuzzy, I had a great day today because I FINALLY chose an oncologist.  Long story short:  I was inclined to choose a cancer center nearby (while being encouraged to go to one of the big "C" hospitals or this doctor or that doctor, but could never make up my mind.  Finally, I called my breast surgeon today and talked with her, and I asked for any recommendations, to which she replied "I know a doctor who is now practicing in your area.  A great doc.  I know other doctors who have chosen to be treated by him.  Here's his number."

    Well, it turns out that he is now the the chair of oncology at the center I was considering.  I feel like a sign came down from heaven!  

    KWIM?

    Despite all the other issues, I think I will sleep a little better tonight.

    And thanks for caring enough to ask. :)  And, yes, my m-i-l lived a wonderful life, and will die in her own home surrounded by people who love her.

    Strike 2, I will pray for you , I just lost my uncle a week before christmas .. no doubt to the big C . he fought a good fight of 5 years . it was sad to see him go he was in his early 60's . I know it can be tough . I worked in nursing homes all my life and have sat with some as they were passing on as they had no family . but then I would tell them that it was okay now and they were loved . and I knew deep down that they had indeed had a full life . I think having family around you is much better . and I am glad you got some good news today about a doc .. come vent bitch .. I have been .. Soft gentle hugzzzz...

    Fuzzy ... is everyone on the damm train yet it's time to friggin depart .. Ladies hold on to those drinks .. it's gonna be a bumpy ride .. 

    Thank you all for being here 

    Lisa Marie (just took my lunesta will be praying for sleep )

    I (for real) had several large hunks of basil tomato focaccai which I dipped in organic olive oil with some fresh ground himalayan sea salt and sage from my garden. It was very delicious. I was planning to eat it with the boring organic butternut squash soup. Didn't happen. LOL. I pretty much ate whatever I wanted today, because 1) I didn't get a bad report from the radiologist, and 2) I went to Trader Joe's today and got all kinds of good stuff.

    I still have to schedule the next ultrasound, so maybe I can do that while the plumber is doing his thing tomorrow morning. In the afternoon I talk to my lawyer (phone consult interview) so I will know about trying to get work or not. I hope to schedule a date for my A+ exam some time Wednesday. I feel pretty confident I can handle the multiple choice type questions. I do worry about the other ones though. They are new this year.

    I have been playing my keyboards all day. Damn! I really lost the little bit of skill I had. I am going to keep working on it though. I got the Mash Song, which arrived today. Then I also played Sound of Silence, The Wedding Song, and For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her. Mostly I kept trying to learn the Mash song. I ordered that while I was all suicidal. Now, if one is not suicidal before I start playing it, one will be by the time I finish it!

    OK. My eyes are closing, so I will bid you good night.

    Sas,

    I love reading your posts they are thorough and really stimulating.

    "Another thought about our postings to each other, when we write we attempt to organize our thoughts to communicate a response. When we do this, we are also, talking to ourselves. To give clarity to the communication, we must create clarity in our own mind. We identify how the communication is important to us. Thus, we are teaching our own brain about what we believe. I have described to patients for decades that as we say or do something, other parts of our brain is listening, evaluating, and correcting. Most commonly heard by others when we do a self correction of a statement as evidenced by the words "What I meant to say" or as in an action "switching to another tool or mode b/c we see something not working" i.e a screwdriver versus a hammer." (SAS)

    What you said above is the most complete statement I have read about the therapeutic effect of writing and also talking. For me when I talk (as in to a therapist) I hear what I am saying and will find understanding and/or clarity. Many times I work out the answer just by writing or hearing myself.

    Thank you very much, Sheryl

    Dune, Absolutely loved that picture. I also got an all clear on my MRI until my next mammo which I think is in six months. Since we are all on the train now I'll have a vodka martini in the observation car. Have to enjoy the scenery on this journey.Laughing

    Love the Train Veggy ... hope everyone is relaxed, laughing and smiling becuase God knows we deserve this train ride . It's a beautiftlul sunny day as we ride along, we can feel the warmth of the sun on our face and yet there is a cool gentle breeze coming through the windows . soft music playing in the distance and the Love that fills the train . the thought that we are all surviving this journey together .. Lots of group hugz .. and well wishes .. (even if it's only in our dreams) 

    Ptdreamers good for you on the all clear ... enjoy your Vodka Martini..  :)

I am still feeling the good vibes from the train sooo I will try to keep my head up and think posotive thoughts today ..

    Hugs to you all ...

    Good luck with the PS Lisa Marie. I do hope you get your answers and relief. I know I'm not thrilled with my foob. It is hard to describe, but by the end of the day -- and a lot of times while I am waking up -- it kind of hurts. It is definitely uncomfortable. The most comfortable bra remains the surgical one, though I don't wear it too often. My unevenness tends to show more in it. I just keep switching bras, sometimes throughout the day. Oh well.

    I hope it is a good studio apartment so that you can be closer to work. I do hate commutes.

    Thanks dune, .. I know the only bra I can wear are the sports bras .. nothing elese fits . I guess because the implants are soo wide .. the left is somewhat very close to my armpit and it makes shaving impossible .. life huh .. yeah right now I am staying with a friend .. but I find myself aggitated here so I need my space .. besides the fact that I am driving 30 min each way .. and the gas sucks ... I totally feel u on the uncomfortableness and pain  .. arghh ... HUGZ

    Well, my mother-in-law passed away early this morning, and my hubby is already there with his family.  

    My dear hubby is just solid as a rock and I know his siblings need him, so  I am glad they are all together, now.

    And I am sooooo grateful that my m-i-l didn't hang on for another one or two weeks.  She passed away in relative peace, two days before her ninety-second birthday.  She lived a very good life; enough income for some of the nicer things in life, including the ability to stay in her own home until the end, and blessed with lots of family and friends who loved her.

    And she was a very, very good mother-in-law.

    Congrats PT! Good news. One rule for self-talk: Never say something to yourself that you wouldn't say to someone else. I know that I was extremely abusive talking to my self, saying things I wouldn't say to my worst enemy. Gently praising what you've done toward your goal works much better. Example: instead of bereating yourself for eating a donut (or whatever), note every good decision choosing healthy food.
