    Granny...I'm in your pocket!!

    Dunes...your mama is so sweet!  I totally understand about the food thing...I was a non meat eater at 13 (really wasn't cool back then) and I would get kinda embarrassed if someone got worked up about feeding me..I mean, seriously I ate EVERYTHING else! LOL

    Rider...I was so drawn to that picture!!  LOL I should have known, right?  It was just meant to be posted for ya!!  So, David is offically your mascot!!  How lucky are you my friend!! 

    So, went out last night - an overdue treat...fit right in to my style - rollerskating for hours, then a band from the 70's, then kareoke (which I never seem to spell right).  It was a blast.  Well, my little car has never been out that late and it was below zero...so the air in my tires "shrunk".  I had to go to the gas station and fill er up...little did I know that the retards who install the air pumps at gas stations in Wisconsin would have a huge METAL end that you hook to that nozzle on the tire - I thought I wasn't going to get my fingers back...I thought they were frozen to the metal thing.  Oh yes...I had gloves...but I am a super dork so they are giant rainbow mittens, but you can flip the top over to expose the top half of your fingers so you can operate the damn nozzle thing and unscrew the cap on the tire.  It was so cold.  So cold...I can't imagine seeing a motorcycle in these parts for a looooong time!  LOL

    Fuzzy, good thing you didn't peel your fingertips off.

    Bleh, DD did get here, but the DDDDSIL was with her bcz she could not drive and didn't ask us to come get her.  For her, when it is bad luck, she gets it it seems.  The night before she tried to pick something up on her porch but IT was frozen to cement and after three little tugs something in her back went out and she ended up on her nose on porch for 20 min.  She got into house and was on floor there for 4 hours.  She sent a text, but I didn't pick it up, we were watching tv, darn it, and I figured it was something off FB she always sends.  I told her next time you need help call me until you get me, I don't care how many people you need to call to call me too.  So he was here, she was exhausted.  We ate, they left.  She needed to stay home and sleep.  But we did have good conversation.

    Going to work.

    LOVEEssa

    Granny, I hope everything went ok today! And hello all.



    Granny told me to come over here. I've been really down and I feel like just giving up. I fought through surgeries and radiation. I was pretty positive that was it. Take the AI for 5 years and all would be good. Boy, was I wrong. So far the ONC has taken me off all the AIs I have tried. still need to try Tamox. After a year of breast pain and swelling, I found out I had truncal LE. Still on nerve pain meds and over the initial shock, I started walking. Pain came back with a vengeance. No exercise = weight gain = sleep apnea and now, being impatient I started a walking at home DVD and now have bursitis in the hip. All right-sided - I feel like I'm domino'ing and not seeing an end. Pain doc now believes the nerve pain is here for life and is suggesting an implanted stimulator that I can't afford. No REAL insurance here. I'm tired & have no more strength. I should be greatful that I'm not worse off as some.. But I just can't do this anymore.. Help....

    I'm sorry you are having a tough time GmaFoley. When the shitstorms keep coming it does get us down at times, but we are strong. We come back fighting, either quietly or swinging wildly and at abandon. Let's hope the doc is wrong about the permanence of the nerve pain, but even if it is, there are ways to control that pain. A guy I worked with has a problem with nerve pain, and I think he finally got relief from Lyrica, or something like that. Please don't give up.

    Yikes, Gma Foley! What a rotten bunch of stuff to have happen! Hang in there -- something's got to get better soon. If you aren't taking anti-depressants, I highly recommend them. You could be the strongest person in the world and become depressed with everything going wrong and constant pain. (((((Gentle Hugs)))))

    We all feel like giving up or even give up for a few, but we get back up.  Hugs for you - it has to be so hard to not know what the answer will be when there is so much pain.  You know you are strong and that your place in God's rocking chair have come through the worst of it many times over.  I know it may never end.  But you have people to lean on and who will listen and hop in your pocket when the worst is upon you.  There is a thread OMG they found the cure for stupid too.  When it hurts, get some tea and read from the beginning.  But for today, start with the last two pages, there's a giant chicken story.

    Dentist tomorrow, must sleep.  Temp today was 50s then rained (near Lake Michigan in February, right) and now dropped 20 degrees and blowing up a Winnie the Pooh stormy night.  I will sleep tight.

    I was told would have my pain from radiation for life but that was not acceptable to me so have had physio every week for 3 months now and it's getting better very slowly - mine includes nerve pain so believe in yourself and fact (yes it is a fact!) we are hard wired to heal and you just need help

    Lily -- so sorry to hear you have potentially bad news -- have you been able to talk to the onc about what this means yet? Try to roll-with-it because just like every other step you have taken, the answer of 'what to do now?' will surface, once you have had time to digest. And then, you will take that step, and the next one. And the next one.

    But worrying over it only makes your brain send out those nasty 'worry chemicals' into your system, which will just make you feel even worse... so try to let it be "OK" in your mind... because whatever is just plain IS. Worrying won't change it, and just makes you feel crappy.

    These stressful times are when I try to get out for a walk in the woods. Or even just sit on the back porch and feel the sun on my cheeks. Close my eyes and listen to the birds.

    For whatever reason -- cancer is the path we have been presented. We just keep doing the best we can with what Life hands us... and if one corner of your life stinks (bad news) -- then focus somewhere else that is LOVELY. For me, nature does that for me. Petting the dog does it for me. Watching a sunset or sunrise, or laying on a blanket and looking up at the clouds -- for HOURS ... does it for me.

    Whatever our bodies are doing, and however the cancer is unfolding... is going to happen whether we worry or not. And it is so much less-scarey and less-painful when we try to turn our attention elsewhere.

    GMaFoley -- glad to see you here, sorry you are down today -- give my little pick-me-up a try -- even if it is just laying in bed and staring at the leaves on a tree outside as they blow in the wind. Something immediate like that can trigger new synapses to fire in your brain -- sending out new (more peaceful) chemicals into the system. 

    Sunday Les and I celebrated our "Valentine's weekend" by going out for a picnic -- and a nap on a blanket in the sun. Sure -- we had our coats and long-johns on... but the view was phenomenal -- a white-topped mountain in the distance, sporadic Ponderosa pines and dry wheat-colored grasses in the meadow all around us... So peaceful and so beautiful! Then we took a 2-mile walk in the woods -- brisk breeze blowing made it pretty chilly, but the walk warmed us up -- and I know that the exercise is GOOD for me.

    The more I am outside, the better I feel about things. Maybe it is the natural light -- maybe it is just the focusing on things other-than "me" -- My health, my cancer, my surgeris, my side-effects, my my my my my.

    My, my -- it is WONDERFUL to just take a break from me! And being outside does it in my case. :)

    My best to you all -- go out and enjoy the sunshine and the smells in the air and the sounds of the birds... see if it doesn't perk you up a little. Nope -- it won't solve the big problems -- but it sure softens the hard edges.

    Linda

    Thank you my onc is un reachable and no trust but have private integrative bc specialist and she says they are of concern but not that she wants a whole body scan done but do show regimen is not aggressive enough and there may be tiny mets that cannot be seen on scan yet. I have to remember these tests show cells before symptoms so I am ahead of the game .........but I find it exhausting and surreal one minute talking about cancer and thinking I will never be a pensioner and the next teaching children and feeling out of my depth then too right now........

    Fuzzy!  Excellent room you have here.  I am a 43-y-o mother of two, but I have just been sitting here thinking about becoming more 'punk'!  You know, making my punk-rock insides manifest on my outside!  What do you think?  Punk hair?  Excessive eye-liner?  Girl with the dragon tattoo?  :)

    Linda, your words of advice are wonderful and just reading them are very calming.  It has not been a year since surgery for me and I still have some down times.  I do find that when I take walks I feel much better about things.

    ((((HUGS)))) Lily.  I got you in my prayers.

    My home office, where I work 4am - 12:30pm M-F, has a mountain top view, looking down on the world.. Sometimes we are above the clouds.. I can't believe how blessed I really am.. It is amazing how pain, even blocks that beauty.. DH and I had a young couple up here yesterday for dinner and it really reminded us how we have both forgot about what we have. I'm trying today to remember that joy.. The rain is back, so it is hard to see the view.  Guess I will have to read my signature and remember what I have been blessed with.

None of us know what the next test will reveal...all we can do is hope for God's mercy, and put it in his hands.....,my son gave me a necklace that is a heart, and on top of the heart is the BC ribbon in pink crystals, and beside that is another heart that says....GOD HEARS YOU........hugs
