MamaV, hope you don't get maimed at that boy band concert!  Veggy, my gosh, so much stuff dumped on you and family.  Apparently we all have lost a lot.  Like they say, you never know what all is going on in the life of the person standing next to you.

Folks, by saying letting a "mule kick me in the head," I've had that buster out there for about 20 years, and people at work used to talk about stress, and I'd say the same thing, to get rid of stress, I just let that mule I got tied up out back kick me in the head, and it goes away.  NOT a "final solution"; just to bring me to my senses!!!  And lest animal rights groups get mad, this mule is a fictional mule, completely invisible, it's ALL IN MY HEAD!  Hahahahaha.

Folks, I'll have you know I slept for miles and miles last night (after mule kicking) and I remembered I hadn't slept enough hours the two nights before, so NO WONDER me bones was aching.  Sassy, I had a bone scan I guess six months ago, pre-osteoporosis, which I forget the name for it, not quite ready for a pill yet.  But grandmother had it, so of course I will.  The thing is, I drink TONS of milk, always have, and used to be VERY active.  It's just in the last ten years my back gave out, slowed me down, and is probably why bones lightened up.  Actually, I think what is more at work here are my fractured feet, hip arthritis, busted tailbone, lumbar facet joint arthritis, three compression fractures in thoracic spine, twisted back, busted collar bone... am I leaving anything out?  Oh, yeah, that place where that fool mule always kicks me!  SMILE.  GG

Nancy, my prayers are with you and youe Dad.

thanks everyone for asking about me. surgery will be on monday at 8. i am just uncommfortable. face is slowly looking better. only able to use good arm and its letting me know that i.m overusing it. prayers and hugs for all who need them.

Nancy, Sorry about your dad, Ask that he be telemetry monitored while in hospital. The chest pain issue may be related to the fall. Cardiac dysrhythmias can cause dizziness or momentary loss of concsiousness, In many cases it's not even remebered. Most assume it was a trip and fall versus a pass out and fall. L&H&P's

Gail- word you were looking for was osteopenia--low bone density. If you are on an AI's or SERMS-tamoxifen and Evista  only going to make matters worse b/c they all can cause osteopenia and osteoporosis. The Biphosphanates--fosamax, boniva , and reclast all have a serious complication of jaw necrosis--jaw bone death. Talk with your doc about Miacalcin.      Sorry you have such skeletal issues, they just gnaw away at you, like hungry wolfves.

Mama----guts, real guts, have fun

 The PINKTOBER REVOLUTION  is bringing up some very interesting slogans

Have a better weekend

Veggy - so sorry for you

Nancy- hope your dad has a speedy recovery

Mama - wish I was going to a boy band concert with my daughter. She's been asking to go to concerts lately, but I think she's too young for that.



Thinking about everyone who is going through crap. Sending you all hugs and driving the bus when needed



Goin to take care of my 2 sick kids. Ear infection and bronchitis. Ugh I hope I don't get it...

dogeyed

SASSY, you are too kind to help me with my forever pain, and hey, I was on Arimidex for a very short while, it contributed to my basic insanity and turned it into demolition insanity, blasted me down a deep dark hole that I couldn't get out.  Tried another one, no can do.  I don't have a boob no more, my only consolation that ER receptors are gone, but I know, the medical complex is complex, I have no desire to truly understand it.  I know just enough to prevent docs from making a mistake.

DREAMERS, I remember when my grandmother broke her wrist, she had a cast that covered her forearm, and she'd sit over there in her easy chair that I now have in my living room, and she'd jam back-scratcher type things up in there, she kept a little collection on her side table.  I think if she had just put a blob of lotion on the end of one of her pencils, might have stopped the itch, and they didn't have calomine (sp?) spray in those days.  Anyhow, I hope the hospital dopes you up really good, and DO tell the doc it does HURT before you leave, so you might get some meds.  And like some others have said, your wrist will wind up stronger than before. 

I remember one time I had a cast on my foot, maybe halfway up the lower leg, I was laid up in the hospital two months from my car wreck with my busted back, and that leg was cut so bad they casted it, laid it on a pillow.  Well, one day whilst I was completely rocked out with Demerol, in comes a man with heavy equipment.  Without a word of announcement, this fellow pulls out -- I KID YOU NOT -- an electrified round-bladed hand saw, and came at that cast.  I was a tad delusional, thought maybe I was in a horror picture, and I go, "Hey, hey, HEY!  What the hell are you DOING?"  He explained he was going to cut my cast off.  I asked him how he could prevent cutting my leg off too?!  He said the machine automatically shut off when it broke thru the cast.  YE GADS.  Not too comforting, I'd say.  It was good to get the cast off, but gosh, I had some kinda scar going halfway around my ankle (haha aha -- not from the blade, tho)!  GG

lauta

Wow I like this room bubble wrap, padded room its just the place I need to vent, but have fun. Hope its not like those old paddles, lol

sas-schatzi

Lauta welcome we are all nuts here so if that's where you need to be , stay awhile. Everyone's going through some deep shit right now. It's like a shit bubble. It's not always this bad, it' just one of those wacko periods in time that we were under the hopper all at one time.

 Gail--you might be surprised if you are a canidate for Miacalcin. I can't believe what it did for my bone pain. Had I known it would be this helpful I would have pressed for it allot sooner. Have you ever tried fentanyl/duragesic patches. if not we should chat further.

To all -update on Nancy's dad- He's in the ICU. He has not awakened from anesthesia. Prognosis unknown at this time. CT scan done should be read by now. Prayers for her and family

FireKracker

Prayers Nancy for you,your dad and everyone else in the family.

SAS---your thread is wonderful...talk about letting all your shit out.....

sas-schatzi

GRanny, I think it will take on a life beyond BCO, It's been very educational too. English Major Has been a real resource on numbers and history. 5 pages in < 2 1/2 days? Certainly hit a button on this one. It's bringing in members from all over --saying exactly how they feel about what has happened, or rather not happened.

Sas.......I'm here..........was down the shore.....home this weekend. Just got done making a Sour Cream Pound CAke from my grandson.......celebrating his 14th birthday today.......he was actually born on the 11th of Aug., and weighed 11lbs 12 ounces, and was 23 inches long...........c-section, thank God.

Well, I told this on another thread....and yes, looks like we have all had  "more then 1 cross to bear recently".......In the dark, down the shore, going to the bathroom, I walked smack into the "chest of drawers"..........knocked all the shit off the top, and moved the frigging thing about 1 foot off the wall with my body............my daughter sleeping downstairs thought the ceiling above her was going to come down, that is how loud it was......................peed, went back to bed, and when I woke up could not move my head.............my neck was so bad, I thought I broke it.............................I guess it was friggin "whiplash"...............that was over a week ago, and it is still bad....................I am in misery.............the pain switches from side to side.....................I will probably go to either the chiropractor, or the accupuncturist this week................not sure which one will work better....................oh by the way................no one ran to see if I was ok................guess after BC they figured I could handle anything..............lol..................

sas-schatzi

Ducky everyone was asking about you.  Please consider  a doc workup MRI or xrays are indicated before manipulation. I'm a believer in chiropractic too, but diagnostic work before the snap after a trauma is very important.

We are all glad your back, wishyou weren't under the hopper with the rest of us.

BTW for those who aren't familar with the word Hopper. It was a device where we emptied the bedpans.

 Nancy's dad is responding by squezzing hand and has smiled. Need prayers not just for him and family, but for staff for the safety of her dad in their care

MamaV

Sorry again for so much crap everyone is dealing with!  I will pray for all you and your loved ones.

The boy band concert was so fun!  The girls had a great time - even if it made me feel OLD!  But, every moment is a gift, every day a blessing - making memories!

Hugs and love to all,

Vicky

sas-schatzi

Mama--"But, every moment is a gift, every day a blessing - making memories!" So, true, and you are a brave soul to have entered that arena

MamaV

Sas - Ha ha!  My hubby said the same thing!

duckyb1

Sas.......haven't done anything yet........will probably skip the Chiro.........don't like them snapping my neck when I'm in good shape, God knows what the hell it will feel like when its hurting..................think I will just do the Acupuncturist................she is fantastic, and has always helped me.............my daughter, and son-in-law had almost the same problem, and she helped them..............one treatment and the pain never came back..........problem with me is...........1 good day, and I say "screw it", not gonna bother.

The other reason I don't want to go to the Chiro., is they always want to do the whole Magilla for you, and honestly after Rads, I'm not sure I want anyone manipulating my 77 year old bones.............all I need is for him to break a rib..............Today it didn't feel too bad, now later tonight I could just turn my head quickly, or move wrong in bed, and I'll be up "shits creek" tomorrow...................well I don't have the kids, my daughter is working from home, so if I have a problem my acupuncturist is right around the corner...................................WATCH, I'LL WAKE UP WITH A BANGIN PAIN IN THE NECK, AND WHEN I CALL, SHE'LL BE ON VACATION.......so as you can see this is a "banging pain in the ass"..................hugs lady.........

sas-schatzi

Ducky i think I got you an Essa mixed up on BONFIRES re: chiropracter. Frankly, i was concerned re Chiro with your description of injury, so, glad you are going a different route . PINKOCTOBER is really going well. I think it will change the world. That is just way. Your slogans were great. Hugs back at you

 No update from Nancy

 Anyone wanting a laugh go to BONFIRES, look at  Ducky's post re: her unfortuate encounter with a piece of furniture in the middle of the night( not funny), but then read Essa's response re: woodpile, then my response . New code word "woodpile".

Hi girls,

After seeing you on FB Fuzz, I had to get back in the action.  We just got back from a very long, but mostly lovely trip to many Florida Beaches, but I am SO freakin pissed right now.  My husband can be such a freakin DICK sometimes! He is very sensitive about what pictures I post on FB (he is in the process of possibly going out on disablilty from work) and he got super pissed about me posting pics of him holding a lacrosse stick on the beach w/the kids.  Harmless tossing of the ball mind you, no contact, etc.  I was the one out jet skiing, etc.  So now I'm getting the cold shoulder. Was hovering over me after I had already told him I'd remove the pics for him, treating me like a child that needs to have someone guide their every move.  Shit.  Sometimes I feel like I can't do anything right around him.  We hardly have sex anymore.  I KNOW he misses my big boobs from before and he hasn't really wanted to even look at them since the recon (still need nipple tattooing).  I get that part.  But the attitude has been an ongoing thing all our relationship.  He HATES to admit it, but he is SO much like his Dad.  So much anger and he can stay that way for days, while I fizzle out fast and just want to get along.

What sucks the most is he really was my rock during tx.  He never flinched with any of my surgeries, clearing my drains, keeping an eye on me.  I really felt a new love for him then that I hadn't felt before.  Now I just don't know. He doesn't seem to have any "fun" in life, and I'm looking for it any way I can find it!  I don't know what the future holds for us (we have 2 teenage kids and a lot of money invested in our home, etc) but he seems so sad, angry, frustrated most of the time it's just wearing on my soul.  I would think about a separation but wouldn't even know how to begin with that.  And who in their right minds would want me in the future with all my baggage, sans boobs and multiple scars.  What a freakin turn on right?

Anywhoo, I'm just venting cause I know you sistas understand.  I know I'm to blame for a lot of this, not being sensitive to his needs, and even not initiating some sort of intimacy.  He's ultra conservative and worries SO much about what other people are thinking about him and his situation, and I'm so the opposite.  At this point I almost don't give a shit what other people think about me.  I'm just glad to still be here.

Thanks for listening girls.  I hope all is well with you in the Romp Room!

Love,

Sharon

Sharon, Maybe he's depressed. I hear it happens to a lot of husbands. He's a rock during treatment, then falls apart inside afterwards. Anger is often a symptom of depression in men. Just an idea to think about.

dogeyed

Hi PUP, I think the same as WREN.  When I finished my treatments, I looked in on husband, and he was just barely making it, and so I spent some time with him trying to engage in conversation other than all this cancer misery, and talking about the future, and just being us.  We had two old dogs die in the middle of it all, so I helped him grieve some with that, too.  I told him he was Number One now, and I needed him desperately, and we walked together in the yard, went for rides in the car, and it was like old times.  So, that's the basic situation, they try so hard for us, but it wears on them too, the thought of losing us is just as scary to them as it is to us.  I think it's fab you two went to the beaches, and that is something you two can reflect on together and be happy.  GG

I went to the plastic surgeon yesterday expecting a fill. Instead he finds an infection in the left breast (the side of the cancer). He marks it, gives me a prescription for two weeks, and I have to keep a warm compress on it. I'm scared! I'm scared of the "what if's". I'm trying to find my big girl panties. This is crap!

LaurenM730

Sharon, Wren, GG - thanks for posting about this.  My husband was so incredible after my MX and during recovery.  Now, 6 months later, i feel like we argue all the time.  Everything is so nit picky.  Like everything I do is wrong, although he says thats not the case.  We don't talk about cancer really, so that's not what we argue about.  We're so young, with 2 little kids, and I hate it.  I don't want to fight.  But I don't want to think about separation.  I can't even think about it.  I'm hoping, Sharon, for both of us, that this is temporary.  Maybe they just feel like we needed them so much at one point, and not as much anymore. 

on another note, I just registered to be a mentor for a cancer support group.  I hope they can find someone to match me with.  I like to talk about what I went through/am going through.  No one really wants to hear about it anymore, especially now that i have my foobs.  Then I'll have someone that wants to listen.  HOpefully this will be good for me and whoever they match me with.

We will be starting a novena Tuesday Aug.14th . I have asked Frank to pick the novena. Please, keep him in your prayers daily as he is being chemo challenged at present. The herceptin has stopped working. We have many members that are having condition changes on the Catholic thread and throughout BCO right now. Please , join us on the 14th.

A Novena is prayers said daily for 9 days with stating the intention of your prayer. An intention can be for a person , group, or a thought. This will be posted on threads also. You don't need to be Catholic. Prayer is Prayer. If something in the prayer doesn't fit your belief system, substitute or omit that portion. We are an Ecumenical group which means inclusive of all.

Send your intentions to me by Pm or post on Catholic thread on sunday (preferrably) or monday and I will combine them into a one list. It takes awhile to do the composite list, thats why I ask that intentions be sent on Sunday, Pax Sheila(sassy)
