Teka

camillegal,

Is pilot ready for departure?

Is that a 2 passenger plus pilot plane?

camillegal

Teka the pilot has departed a couple of times. LOL

Oh Ducky u asked me about immodium etc. I have taken everything OTC to the max, then I went to scrips to the max, nothing works for me--I think it's just something that happened during all this and now I'm stuck with it. Just like we're all stuck with a lot of after SE's, they just are.

Teka

Yea Cam your right....lots of SE's for me......was great till I had to start Letrozole, then all hell broke loose......thought of stopping many times, but leary about taking the chance...I know I would feel better off this crap, but your damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

Cami, that Pilot is just my cup of tea.........Wow, he is almost as handsome as my husband, who was every girl's dream in HS..........but I nailed him.....Italian, tall, dark, and Wow......he walked away with every possible thing in his yearbook.....voted, best looking, best dressed, best athlete, and finally they said 3 was enough...........he also got Most likely to succeed, but they said 3 was enough.....and his sons are just as handsome as he was........now me, when I graduated, I got best dressed, class clown, and most likely to succeed......another gorgeous blonde got best looking........but 3 was the limit anyway..........

Have a great day....gonna see if I can book another flight with that "honey".......thanks Cami...LOL

camillegal

duckyb1

Hi hermits- went to a nice yoga class tonight that felt good. All the Januaryites trying to get back into shape were there and the class was very full!

We are now coming off command center hours tomorrow, so I will go back to more normal hours and to my project center. There are good and bad aspects of this, as I will have a better schedule but don't like the people and the politics that go with the other location. One thing that has become very clear to me is that my life has been hard enough these past few years, I need to be mindful to not choose hard work with difficult people ever again.

Hope everyone has survived the week and is warming up and thawing out!

Jazzy I always thought that any work is good if it's with the right people.  I always hated my actual job, but for the most part I worked with marvelous people and as u all know there are 4 of us that have still stuck together even tho 3 have retired and we're still close. some days when I worked it was postal with all the crowds of actually mean people, but having my friends next to me made all the difference for us to make light of it. We still laugh about the SWAT team running in and holding everyone til they figured out who they wanted--that would be horrific if I didn't have my friends there to hold hands with I know, or the time the FBI came in and had all kinds of orders and scared the customers to death, but we looked at each other and laughed. So having the right people to work with means so much, every job is easier. When we would do evaluations we'd laugh thru the whole thing and we hated them. Sorry for going on and on about memory lane but I really know how nice a terribly difficult job can be with the right people surrounding u.

Jazzygirl

Cami- you are so right about having good people to work with making all the difference. As a consultants, sometimes we end up doing projects that are not good with people we don't like. The good part is we get paid and paid well by the hour no matter what!

The project I have been working on since late 2012 is with a long time/well known client to me. They have always had a certain amount of dysfunction, which I could deal with, but have become very verbally abusive and expect people to just work ALL THE TIME. I worked for them last in 2011, then got asked (if not begged) to come back to help late on this project in 2012. And I said yes because I needed to get back to work and even had the flexibility to work remote during my radiation treatment. But as this thing has gone on, it has become worse and worse. 

The good news is I am done in June of this year on this contract, and now setting my sights on business development and finding new work in the new year that does fit. I don't work for a company, but for myself so it is up to me to make some better choices for myself on the next work I choose. I am going to a professional org breakfast in a few more weeks to jump start the process!

They changed, but so did I. Taking care of myself is paramount these days, and I will be looking next to find a situation that allows me to do that, but to do the rest as well. Work to live, not live to work, right? 

I got some real clarity around some things this week, thanks for listening to my rant!

Here is to my crazy hermit friends!

thats awesome Jazz~  hope everyone had a good night.....

mine was restless, my partner has been sick and on predisoze.  She is WIRED and can't sleep so guess what, I can't either.  I thinking I am invest in ear plugs or headphones... 

dutchiris

My bone scan is today.  The pain that prompted me to call the doctor is not as intense or constant as it was then.  I considered maybe canceling but those other pains get worse so I intend to go through with the scan.  I figure the painful areas will be normal and there will be something bad where I would have never suspected it.   I'm trying to stay calm.  I have so much going on this weekend that I don't know if getting results right away would be better or not.

Jazzygirl

Dutchiris- keep us posted. Sometimes the antihormone meds make our bone ache. But if it is in one place, better to get it checked out. 

I asked my MO last visit how you know when something may be from the med vs. more? He said "oh you will know, the pain will be constant and will get worse with time." I have also read bone mets are worse at night. I pay attention to every little ache and pain, many come and go. If yours don't, you need to check it out. 

Fingers crossed here for you. Let us know what you hear as you want to share. We will be here on the other side of your tests and results.

Teka

I've never seen a dog trying a lemon.

dutchiris

I know my head says not mets but I had 19 pos. nodes AFTER chemo.  Who has even heard of that?  I hate to be pessimistic but worse news is coming eventually no doubt.

dutchiris

I neglected to thank you all for the support.  Thank you so much!

Teka

*Hugs*

Jazzygirl

Dutchiris- this is very hard to do, but each time I get checked for something I say to myself I will go in not assuming anything, but hope for the best and will deal with the news whatever it is when it comes. This is easier said then done, and perhaps you know some risks you already may have. 

Breathe deeply, remain steady and keep us posted. As several have commented, we will be in your pocket with you as you go through this.

Dutch.....hugs and prayers.....in your pocket......

I know Jazzy.  I had several cysts in my left breast over the last few years as well as scar tissue and just being lumpy in both breasts.  I thought this last time was more of the same but did have it checked anyway.  I wasn't worried just doing what should be done and bam, cancer.  

I know it doesn't work this way but it feels like if I let my guard down it will happen again.
