Thanks for asking Sally.  I've been feeling down more lately.  I get so tired and my body hurts more and more as the day goes on.  It feels good to go to bed and I feel my best in the morning.

  I had labs drawn on Monday because my neutrophils and WBCs have been low.  They seem to be improving.  I work but am off on Friday.  I will be at my daughter's dance competition on Saturday.

OK anyone hear from Kath?

Teka

Maybe, resting up!

Tomboy

okay. just got home. i cant believe they did 4 biopsy clips on one of the lumps, and three clips on the other. and the last clip on the first set, hurt like the muffer. so, i will not know the results of it till follow up next week. and they have never told me any thing over the phone. i wish they would sometimes. but i am icing, and hoping for no le flare up. hoping its nothing, but not really worring. the main thing i think i would be upset about if it was, is, i dont want to spend all my time going to more drs! endlessly again, any time soon! hope everyone is all right, and furfriends are comforting. 

my tamox break is giving me more energy, for sure, but for now, my feet are up! glad that's over.

camillegal

Kath I'm glad u'r home, well they really did all that was needed, now just rest and keep those twinkle toes up.

Teka

kathec, only positive results!

Jazzygirl

Kathy- I am glad you are through the biopsies. I am sorry you have to wait so long for the results. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for good outcomes here. 

Dutchiris- sorry to hear you are a bit down. I hope your day off is good for you Friday, and that you feel better soon and have fun on Saturday.

Blondie- stay safe in the snow and hoping the sore throat is gone soon.

Thinking of the rest of you here and hoping your week is going okay. 

Teka

TWINS UPDATE:

The brain scans were read yesterday. The specialist said, almost all preemies have some bit of brain bleed. The girls had none. Their scans were excellent! Yea God!!! The mama goes home from the hospital this evening. The girls have to stay until basically their due date in May.

Did I tell you, my nephew, Teddy, put his wedding band on one of the girls arms, but the ring was too big?

Teka

Excellent News!!

SallyS70

Paula, great news.  Leaving the twins at the hospital will be so hard for their parents.  The precious girls and their parents are in my heart.

Tomboy

wow,t hey must be tiny, paula, or he has big fingers! try to get a picture?

Anonymous

They only weighed 1.3 & 1.2 lbs. they were born at 24 weeks. Dad is 6' tall, but his fingers are average.

Jazzygirl

Soteria- so glad to hear the girls are doing well. I like that the one tried to crawl out of the incubator, she's a fighter. 

It will be hard for the parents to go home without the babes, but hopefully they will grow quickly and be able to come home before May. Grow babies grow!

camillegal

Paula wonderful news, so glad to hear that and I'm sure they will be so well taken care of. Precious babies.

Damn, lost you guys again...........WTH........why does this happen, and is it just me....now I have to catch up..........oh well that's ok.........I am home bound from the snow, and the below freezing temps.......will be back

camillegal

Mornin'  didn't have much snow here but so cold--so I'm here too Ducky--

My cousin came over and brought me a large Starbucks yesterday so I saved half for this morning--what a difference to me--so good.

duckyb1

Wow, went all the way back to page 212.........no idea why this happens......

Not even going to try to catch up........just hope everyone is ok, and staying warm.......it is horrible here in Philly......so much snow, and more predicted for Saturday........below freezing, and feel like an Eskimo in an Igloo.......its ridiculous.........can not wait for summer, my shore home, cool drinks, and the pool.......

Seems like while I was gone you all had some pretty touch times...........

The cold weather does not help with the aches and pains.......can't get out to drive, so just hope the food outlasts the snow packed driveway.......lol.......plenty in the freezer, but nothing I feel like eating....

Lily I have spinal stenosis, arthritis in my spine which developed after a bad fall down a flight of steel steps years ago, and 2 broken vertebrae........one  was fixed by surgery (kyphoplasty), but the other healed before they could fix it........I know what your dealing with.....they want to inject my spine, but will not do that......hope you feel better......just try to hang in there.......

Blondie, hate this weather........hope your doing ok........

Just can't wait for warmer weather......hugs all.........

Teka

Good Morning camillegal, is it to cold for Joey to have school?

camillegal

Morning---Teka u'd think it was only cuz of waiting for the buses if nothing else, but yes there is school and it's freezing out there. This has been a rough January, plus more snow is coming and more freezing weather. It's to hard to even go out, unless u have to. Actually a lot of schools are closed today. That's how bad it is. 

Teka

Frost bite can happen so quickly while waiting for the school bus!

camillegal

Teka, I know they are saying with this type of weather it can happen within minutes. Geeze.

Ducky, do you post from an iPad or other touch screen? I accidentally lost this thread last week. You touch something without realizing it, and POOF! Gone! I lost it on page 176 and had to read like 12 pages to catch up. I had wondered why no one was posting here.

The twins mom was released from the hospital yesterday eve. I'm sure she cried. Every time she looked at them, she would cry and tell Teddy, "Can you believe, we made these?" They'll be spending plenty of time at the hospital I'm sure.

My grandson is 1/2 block from the required distance for the bus ride......in Middle School he was 2 miles away......HS he is 1 1/2 miles away.......no bus ride.......it is a miserable walk, and he has Asthma, so the wind, and cold beat the hell out of his breathing...plus it is very hilly, so that taxes the breathing too.........his breathing is bad this time of the year normally and has to use a Flovent everyday, and if it gets real bad the nebulizer.......but it is what it is.......

My grandaughter, (his sister) is in Middle School, so she gets a bus ride.....however, in weather like this my daughter drives her only 1/2 block down the street to wait for the bus......car is already warmed up from Sean's ride, so why not......I would do no different.......

I could go into how we walked 5 miles up hill in the snow, with no shoes, but I will forgo that....lol......I know we probably spoil kids today, but i you do it for the right reason I see nothing wrong with that ...........just don't spoil them for the wrong reasons........

At least the wind died down some, but the temps are brutal......hurry summer.........I am even willing to bypass Spring to be warm................kids already lost 2 days of their Easter week break, but hey, its better then going out in the snow, in the dark, to stand on a corner waiting for a school bus, which is what the kids with no rides have to do.......and trust me.....its dark........

Just 1 week ago we had a boy killed when 2 cars collided, and 1 jumped the curb hitting the 2 boys, killing the one, and the other is critical in the hospital......super kid, honor student, and a 3 letter athlete........so sad........

Teka

duckyb1, I know in my heart that *sweet angel veggy* will never meet any "bitches" in Heaven!

kathec, lovely photo on the "Veggy" thread!

Please post "flowers for veggy" photo on this thread.

Tomboy

how about flowers for everyone here. that one is from apainting that my pcp's brother did. they hang in his office, and i had recently asked him about them, and asking really seemed to "humanize" us both to each other in a deeper way. i like him because he answers all my questions!

duckyb1

Kath........really nice............now Veggy would have loved that one.............miss my funny friend......she could keep me laughing.............our "big girl panty" thing was the best...........always told her some days I need to put suspenders on my "big girl panties"............but she always got me out of the fuglies with her 2 word phrases.........
