Teka

Hiding out from the moderators ;o)

Jazzy love that pic.

Oh ducky--Welcome with open arms--u didn't finish introducing u'rself==Ducky is the sexiest, smartest, prettiest and more she' tell u-- get used to her girls---she'll perk u up along with firecracker

Lily55

Well have patners family visiting and i am having to force myself to go out with them, just want to hide away, feel sooooo different and un relaxed.....also lots of **** going on as i left the animal charity as their priorities are all wrong, could not keep going on as the lone voice speaking up for dog welfare......etc etc, apparently its all my character and nothing to do with them .......of course....

Lily55

Feeling a bit like i will not be around for long anyway......tired, and very weary of constantly climbing the wall of trying to live a normal life when just everything is different most of all me.......and not in a way I like, cannot wait for next surgery as so fed up with a bulge under my arm all the time and constant hurting.......feel I have failed at life

Teka

Lily55,

You've not failed at life, but continue to be beaten down by BC treatments.

Hurting doesn't = Happy!

duckyb1

Cami, sweetie, should we tell them about my being a member of "you know what', or should we keep that between us.................lol.................thanks for the welcome.....love you girlfriend, and yes my partner in crime is the one who told me to come here........................

Lily.....not sure if we ever talked, but what your feeling is "nornal", well as normal as it can get..........for me its 2 1/2 years, and I still feel like life has left me a few miles behind............but I do the best I can.....I have said before..........surgery was the easiest part.............everything from there went down hill............Femara, aches, pains, new one each day..........when one lets up, another one takes its place............just hang in there, even a not great day, can be better then so many "not good days"............hugs.

Ducky u can tell these gals anything --they are all wonderful.

Lily I don't like to hear u talk like that ---u didn't fail life--BC got in the way--and I hate to say this but it doesn't just leave like a cold or the flu--Most of us have been left with scars--not physical so much---but our bodies reacting to all the treatment and mentally just being tired and feeling lousy and I always feel that most people think oh when the treatments are done, I'll be fine--It doesn't make any difference what Stage u'r in it's all crap--This disease destroys so much of u and it's said the new normal-- well it's not new it usually crappy, but it might not last. It's so wonderful to hear how so many have treatments and fell better and better and go on like not much has happened. And we all love to hear that. But that's not always the case--u just learn to accept things differently. U'll be around and u'll see u WILL feel better. I still remember asking my surgeon after my 2nd operation will I ever feel better and he said u will, but who knows how much better--he gave it to me straight. So I do feel much better than that day for sure but feeling fine to me I don't remember but I'm doing OK and we all have our days of being sad. And if u'r not on an antidepressant please ask for one. Some people are not needing them and I think that's great but some doand if u'r on one then ask for more help. Always ask for help, it's available to you and we all take this differently--no right or wrong in this This is all about u. (((HUGS)))

duckyb1

Meds are never good to me.................if there is a SE out there I will be the one to get it...........my friend just went on an anti-depressent, and has had not one friggin SE..................watch me..........I would go on it , and the shit would hit the fans............honestly, I think I could use one, but I'm actually afraid of a SE..............Provachol........SE........Letrozole, SE.............BP Meds.....SE.........even Nexium when I had refux...........SE............Can't take any of the pain killers after surgery, Vicodin, Morphine, Demerol........none of them.........after 3 days SE..........even Coedine..............so I am shit out of luck, but would love to try an SSRI............I hear they work great................maybe one day ...............

FireKracker

Lily55

jo1955

Heaven forbid! Granny and Ducky are here. Hang on ladies. I will try to go back and do some reading since I am new here but not new to BC. Granny - aka FireKracker wanted me to check out this thread. I've known Granny and Ducky for quite some time and both are lots of fun and good information.

duckyb1

Jo 1955.....yea your here too.......wow....time to Pa Tee........Whoooooo hoooooo

Teka

My 4th follow-up Hemoglobin A1C was 5.9 and ok.

PCP has a thing for diabetes ;o)

Closing in on another weekend!

camillegal

Actually u have to build up a tolerance for vodka not to have a hangover the next day---so Ducky u have built that up I guess..That doesn't work for meds tho--I can't take some but most I take but I can't take anestesha (sp) and I don't like that either. Of course I had it for my surgeries but each time it just got worse and worse waking me---so now it's like oh u have pain well we could fix this but not for u--LOL So that's why I hermit myself sometimes--well more than I should.

And Jo I've met u before but of course I don't remember where, or when, maybe it was Venice, or San Marco--don't I wish.

And Ducky it was turbulance u just let him think that I know u. LOL

jo1955

ducky - Yea! I listened to Firecracker and paid a visit here. Let's party girlfriend. I do remember you like vodka so I will bring the Red Solo Cups!!!

Camilegal - You are also familiar - perhaps it was the South of France? LOL! I haven't been on too many threads lately. Tamoxifen thread, rads thread, dorsi flap, hell, I don't remember either. But hey, we are here.

duckyb1

Jazzygirl

Hi hermits- I am meeting deadlines this week so will keep this short. Welcome to all the new ladies here! I love seeing the new names, people inviting other people here. Super nice group of ladies, and my fav thread on this site. We are a fun and judgement free zone. You can let it all hang out here!

Teka- glad to hear you are okay on all fronts, including A1C. I read somewhere BC increases diabetes possibility in women, so that is why they may be watching. I am going to ask my MO about bc treatment and diabetes linkage when I see him next week.

Lily- there is nothing going on here that is wrong for you. You are a different person now and you are finding out that some of the things that used to work for you don't anymore. I am making those same discoveries all the time. I find it very hard (if not impossible) to be around people who want to talk about superfacial things, or complain about things I find are just not important. I encourage you to spend time with people and things that work for you and not to worry about the rest. We are the ones who went through all this, not them and it is hard to make people understand. I am not nearly as social as I used to be.

CC- most of the photos come off sites on FB. Queen of Sarcasm and Hippie Peace Freaks are two favorites!

Getting some cold rain here today, but otherwise, everything is okay.

camillegal

Hi Jazzy, I can't imagine cold rain in NM or what u consider cold rain LOL U'r a busy bee and doing well and u'r adjustments fit u perfectly--Lily it will all come together and think just for u'rself.

jo1955

ducky - You crack me up.

Try again next week and maybe before you hit it vodka!!!!

Teka

Jazzygirl,

Greetings... Forgive the intrusion, but I've been reading a while w/o posting. At first I thought I'd found a home, but think I'll move on. Have any longer-resident hermits noticed a change lately? The gentle hermitude seems to be fading, and the aggressive taking over. (Like I loved the sweet insights of your little Skittle, but she stopped posting. Likewise Markat and a few others.) If you look back, the hermit's nest has changed. Again, sorry to intrude. I just wondered if anyone had noticed the change in the weather here. Just stopping by.
