    hey Hermies...thanks for the welcome..not sure what happened, but it just was gone....but got it back..

    Teka....explains how I posted on the wrong thread...was meant for this one after seeing your ice storm picture, just saw it again....thought Iwas goofy, cause I do not frequent the other  thread....I sleep fine most of the time,just a lousy night once in a while....

    Cami....lots of cookies.....aching back....lol

    Blondie 70........yes........hope your ok.....

    Hope everyone is ok, and again.......thanks for the warm welcome.....hope it does not happen again, but it has before, and I see others have had it happen too...by the way.....got rid of auto-correct...with a name like "ducky" thought it a good idea.....that is actually my nickname....not just. Screen name, so it gets used quite often....on and off this website.......

    Oh that's a cute nickname Ducky.

    Lily I'm sure u feel worse in some ways because u didn't expect all of this to happen to u and u'r body is worn out so mentally u'r warn out. I'm so sorry u'r going thru all of this. U'r mind and body need time this is not easy for some it's not as bad we know that but some it's horrendous--and it will be a memory some day that u won't revisit, but it does leave u'r mind. I know for now that doesn't mean much and u do feel alone in this, but know that this pain ends, it does, I wish I could help u, like we all do, take any meds u need to help u thru this and know each day will make u stronger, it's amazing what are bodies can go thru and then recover from.

    CCFW....I'm thinking we must be sharing a storm as I am in Wisconsin as well.  You have more snow than I do.

    Ducky......If you "lose it" again, we will warmly welcome you back again and again.  I can imagine what autocorrect could do to your nickname.

    Lily....I'm hoping that you continue to feel better and better.  

    Cami.. You're awesomeness in human form.

    Teka, stay safe, hope your power stays on.  Nice photo of the branches though.

    ((((Lily)))) hope you continue to feel better each day.  I am so sorry you are having such a difficult time with this.

    Blondie, sounds like a great day all around!! 

    Cami you always say the most insightful things. You have such a kind heart.

    No new snow here today, the clouds look like they are full of it though, so maybe this evening. I shoveled yesterday just the really necessary places.  My neighbor's son came over and did the concrete pad in front of my garage for me later in the day.  I usually do it, but didn't want to push it yesterday.  The snow melts there and then refreezes and make an ice rink, can't tell you how many times I've fallen on it.  Don't want any falls this winter.  So I was very glad to have him do it for me.

    Have a great week and Merry Christmas to all my hermies.  Hugs for all!!

    Lilly55 (((hugs))) filled with feel better and better wishes.

    Storm insiders be safe and keep warm.  I hope none of you lose power or lose power again.  Blondie, it sounds like you and I may be the only northerners out of the snow/ice path.

    Hi hermits- been slowing down this weekend. I had a couple bouts of dizziness the past few days and discovered my BP was very high yesterday. So my body is saying SLOW DOWN and I have listened. Today it is good (122/72). I told my client the go live has taken it's toll, so now I am going to be off Tuesday afternoon through Thursday. That means I only work 2 1/2 days this week. I also have a trip to the MO this week too, as a follow up on the coming off and on the anastrozole this fall.

    Oh and then I have had this sinus thing that started in early December and lingers. I felt like my nose was running so I went into the bathroom to blow my nose and good lord, blood everywhere! What I thought was post nasal drip was a bloody nose! It stopped relatively quickly, and know my sinuses are super dry. Going to go to the pool and swim and then sit in the steam room which will help.

    Needless to say, I feel like a bit of a train wreck this weekend....

    Lily- I am glad you are starting to feel better, but know you are still suffering. Cami is right in that you will get through this and the pain and suffering will get better with time. You are just having a terrible time with this along with other things in your life. I hope you felt the love of our yoga circle last night. 

    Everyone be careful with snow and ice and crazy holiday traffic. I will pop in again around Xmas day for anyone who is out here.

    I got the snow shoveled.  Now I'm wrapping gifts.  I took something for my back last night. (Wearing a10lb aspirin didn't help at all, lol)  I slept well and woke up this morning feeling ok.  I took some more tonight and it's helping.

    ducky, I've had some bad falls on ice.  When I lived in the Sierras in CA I had a steep long driveway.  I was out shoveling one afternoon and slipped on the ice.  I landed on the handle of the shovel and proceeded to slide on it down the driveway into the road!  I had the biggest bruise on my backside in the exact shape of the handle!!  I couldn't sit comfortably for a long time!

    Jazzy, sorry you aren't having a great weekend.  I am glad to hear though that you are listening to your body and taking it easy.  Good too that you get so many days off next week, rest and recoup time.

    cami, I live alone so I need to shovel when it snows.  I was just lucky this weekend the the neighbor's son was visiting.  I love it, "Do nothing, and no one can prove a thing." :D

    Dutch, glad your back is feeling better!  LOL, don't jinx yourself!!

    Just lightly snowing right now, I had expected more snow from the way the sky looked all day.  But that is OK, it is still white outside and that is all I want for now.

    Hugs for all my hermit friends!

    I have posted the below on recon thread, please forgive me for taking a short cut and copying it here, but it will let you know where i am.....which is pretty much in the pits emotionally...

    After a first graft in the summer I was feeling confident about my second one, well it has been a total nightmare. Op was two weeks ago and I did not feel right from word go....good news was I had a lovely mound shape and felt positive and hopeful, but I felt so ill and was in so much pain. One night I could not sleep at all, I had no appetite and just felt generally ill. To cut a long story short, by sheer luck (as I was too ill to know how ill I was) I ended up at Emergency last week. They admitted me with a huge infection, unknown source, I was REALLY ill, then Tues morning my chest just burst open and it started to leak 500ml of pus and ALL the recon work I have had done so far is all gone......high temp heart rate of 150 etc etc........

    I was put on a running drain where they flush sterile fluid through your chest for two days to a drain outside, pain level was high as I could not even sit up........I was just trapped in pain and feeling too ill to care much. I was kept in hospital for 6 days, now have a different drain in and have to go to Doctors every day to have dressing changed, there is no real privacy there even though i always ask for the screens, staff just walk around them, and I just HATE it with a passion. I feel like the freak show with my one breast poking out between the bandages........My chest is now a lot worse than before I even started recon, itches like hell, looks like someone has poured boiling water on it and is just plain ugly. I am on antibiotis which mean I can only eat bland food as I run to the bathroom after eating anything.......and its all just a lousy Christmas!

    Has this happened to anyone else?

    Why did it happen in your case?

    Did you get a reasonable aesthetic appearance back?

    Any other info - I am so stressed about it all now and really down ...........

    I am so unhappy and upset now.....I had to pay for all this surgery and am now left worse off than ever before.....I had hoped this would be a good Christmas but instead i am bursting in to tears and just feel utterly miserable

    THank you - my OH puts his arm on my shoulder and says "I know its hard"....well if anything ever qualified for under statement of the year..................if he had a visible willy and part of it was missing and he could only ever wear tight trousers so the whole world could see he had a weird willy and he had to go and expose it daily to any number of people who happen to wander in to the room where its being bandaged, then he might come close...........

    Sorry a pity party, feel crap
