STFU (Shut the F*** UP)

ChickaD

Miss Cam....when you put you paste the photo in look at the line with the dimensions that populates...I always reduce mine by half the number if its up around the 1,000's.that will keep it small

Swim was lovely, no rain yet

Julianna you little devil mixing up gloves ----LOL.

Cami hope you get a dx soon. It sounds like you are pretty uncomfortable. HUGS

Chickie we haven't had an update on the  historic surgery you had. Healing? No drains --how did that end up? Were you limited on shoulder movement. Forget was it a DEIP or a tram? What kind of things are they tracking i.e. do they put you through any special exam every so many weeks(that would be usual for a publication to validate outcome)? How many similar procedures is the doc going to do before he publishes? Please, ask your doc what his opinion of shoulder immobilizing after sx? Are they seeing less problems with LE? Is he doing BMX the same way?

How's cooper? Love the pics. It's like cooper's everyone's baby

Cami, love the queen.lol.

Hi Miss Sassafrass.....sorry for not posting about surgery....I guess its becasuse I have not had any real complications (and dont even think how lucky i am).....except a bit of redness in the cancer breast...it was treated one time with antibiotics and cleared up immediately....I see the PS every couple weeks and he is truly amazed at my non-issues!  Cleveland Clinic/PS is still doing same  surgery and having great results...they believe a big part is the NO drain part which they believe  lets the patient heal faster and does not continue to aggravate the area.  Yippy I was truly lucky!

ChickaD

Miss Sas...continued....I had no shoulder immobilization which was awesome because when I had a lumpectomy back in 1991 I got the frozen shoulder and it was so painful and so many months to work out ....I do not know when they will be publishing I believe sometime next year as he has over 100 patients using this surgery no special testing but I think it's because I am NOT symptomatic at all ......it was the easiest part of my cancer road.

Cami when you click on the tree and put the photo url in there is a size box below it... if it says 1000 X 1000 change it to 400 x 400 (as an example) keep trying you will get it.

Chickie, when I had my BMX, I couldn't find any decent evidenced based recent studies on shoulder immobilization. SOOOO, 6am the morning after sx, I was doing full range of motion. From 12 o'clock position to 8-9 o'clock to the back. I did develop a seroma 5-6 days post op, but that was b/c the SNL drain was pulled early. There was evidence of skin infection. Seromas can either be aspirated or left to absorb over time. Mine took a year to absorb. I really think that shoulder immobilization is one of those things that researchers haven't done any recent look at. Some surgical things are still being done the same way for decades without any new consideration.

Your sx is groundbreaking. The fact that he is doing so many before publishing is very significant. VERY. He is in uncharted waters in that he is NOT following the established mode of therapy. His numbers tell me, he is not going to allow the sx community to say that is work is a fluke. I am surprised though he doesn't have a list of items being documented. BUT BUT that can be being done, and you just aren't aware. ANYWAYS it's just awesome. Congratulations.

Chickepuppie - have you tried wearing him out (I mean playing ) b4 you are ready for nap/bed? The only problem is you might rev yourself up and he'd be sleeping. Just a thought. Sounds like a mahhvelous recovery from your surgery.

Cami - hope you get some real answers tomorrow. Is one of your daughters going along for interpretation???

I resize gifs by getting those little corner thingies to come up and pushing it in to reasonable size. But seems like you can't do that with animated ones. Just barely computer savvy.

I think my chocolate neurotransmitter area is huge.

Congratulations to all with good news! Sending healing thoughts to all.

I want to be played by Whoopee Goldberg. Don't resemble her in any way but love her sass.

Our foster cat kept us up last night sneezing. This morning, no sneeze at all. She's been on every antiB, head x-rayed, sinuses rinsed (she was out for this), cultured, and still no idea why she's sneezing. I'm still trying to get good photos to put her on Petfinder. She's black and long-haired, so difficult to photograph. I think we're just going to have to say she sneezes and it's not an infection. Can cats be allergic to themselves?

camillegal

GMA and Luv I really like those fnnies--I think I figured out the size thing maybe, I just like to find things to post to aggrevat Chevy anyway, cuz she thiks I can't-well not very good. But Thank u Maryuappreciateme.It's better than Chevymouth.

Luv No one goes with me but for a reason from day one when I told my girls I had cancer the crying was rediculous and even if they drive me I have them drop me off--I go by myself always--I know it's best to have someone with u, but not if I'm the one who has to calm them down. Actually one ime one of my Drs. asked me to bring someone--so I did bring my niece (cuz she's a nursr) well when tears started coming and the Dr. holding my hand I said u 2 are so depressing no one is ever coming with me again anywhere and no one has. hahaha Altho I am a drama queen I filter certain things --just like now my DD wat me to go to the ER like 2x a day--she's driving me nuts. So I have to keep calm even when I don't feel that calm. LOL

ChicaDgoodreaction--I'm so so glad it went well and u'r doing well--I know Sas knows about this whole thing, of course it's still a mystery to me but as long as it's all good that what I'm likin'. and it's like u have a baby--it's so cute.

gardengumby

I know cats can be allergic - it would be awful for them to be allergic to themselves, though! 

I want someone tall and thin to play me - then everyone from now on would think of me as tall and thin instead of the real short and well.... shall we say "plump" me. 

I don't get many comments anymore - but when I was first diagnosed (almost 3 years ago, now), I called my sister (we don't normally speak, but that's a different story) to let her know.  She let me know that SHE wasn't going to get BC, as she never drinks and exercises every day.  I encouraged her to get a breast MRI anyway.  She doesn't have it.  So that's good, but our mother, grandmother and aunt all had it, and they were all teetotalers who worked like horses, so somehow I think she has just lucked out and hopefully will continue to do so (I don't choose to talk to her, but sure wouldn't wish this @#$%^ on her). 

At work I also got the "you've got to have a good attitude" line - as if that was going to "cure" me.  bah.  I was in a pretty foul and fairly self-centered mood for awhile - mostly now I think I'm back to my norm..  The people I appreciated the most were those who had experienced breast cancer themselves.  They just said to me, "call me if there's anything you want to talk about".  That, I liked.

Chevyboy

Phylli!  You're such a brat!  We LOVE that kind of gal on here!  Go look for fun guys to play with!  Sit on their lap, and talk about the first thing that comes up!  

Sass.... just wait for the rain.... then take off all your clothes and just DANCE in the rain!  Flail your arms about!  And sing!  See if anyone notices.

No Sassy.... You can be Joan Crawford!  Do they have to be alive for us to do this?  

Mary.... Did you flip him off?  I might have!   NO..... I WOULD have!

ChickaD

Miss Sassafrass....... am SURE the questions, photos, etc the doc asked me are charting...but having no medical background I dont understsnd it...his PA is marvelous and love her..I think she knows just as much!

Here is Tasha with new Cooper...everything is good in the household!   Tasha is definitely the new babysitter and official playmate...she is only 2 yrs old and loves to play...Sammy is 8 and seems to be the gatekeeper......and uyou ladies are correct...Cooper IS is boss....lol

camillegal

Chicadoggielover--that's a perfect picture--I love it--And yes dog or cat they are the boss

Well we all know that Chevcockadoodledo (shut up Chevy) her neightbor's chichens are her boss.

luvmygoats  Thanks for the fine welcome. I've been on other boards before, mostly last year while going through treatment and all those surgeries. Now I am on Tami and and seven days post op from getting my impants removed. So I am happy and flat. 

I do love this group and all of the crazy pictures.  I need the comic relief! I live NE of Ft Worth I believe.

sass and marymary- Congrats! would love to do a happy dance for both of you. Good news is always wanted here and everywhere.

juliaana- you never know about flowers and I meeting one day.  Not sure how that works.

When I think of our crew and who should portray them the only I get a clear picture for is Cami s Goldie Hawn in Laugh In.

juliaanna

Lezza, I believe if we put our minds to it- we could all meet one day! Glad you found us and decided to stay. We've been known to scare folks away. Don't mean to-just our unique sense of humor.



I'm having a busy day caring for my GD. Hope I have enough energy to do it again tomorrow.



Wishes all a good day.

GmaFoley

It is so nice to hear good news from all.



2 more days with the grandkids then have to take GD back to daddy. He has her one more week the has to send her home to mommy. I gave him 3 days of my 2 weeks, so he has more time with her.



I will be heading home after dropping GD off alone. Pray I make the trip safely.

juliaanna

Gma,

Always praying for safe travels for all the hooligans!

Shellshine

I love the hooleyhappiness we are experiencing!

Welcome Leeza - this is a wonderful place to hang out and be yourself with total acceptance, especially if you don't mind getting teased. If Chevy starts calling you a loose woman or we change your name around with pet nicknames - it's a sign of deep affection.

Wren, my precious dog, Olivia, has a condition called "Chronic Lymphoplasmacytic Rhinitis." She sneezes and has a lot of mucousy nasal discharge. We've spent so much money on surgeries and drugs, but in the end just need to live with it and treat it the best we can. She supposedly had "kennel cough" when we got her at the Humane Society......by the time we had her diagnosed she was already a part of our family. She is such a pretty, happy critter. I hope your kitty has something less serious. Make sure she goes to a rich family if she doesn't (rich in money and love)! 

Sas - I am SO proud of you for your STFU moment. You go girl!..... (oh crap, maybe I shouldn't egg her on, hoolies, could be dangerous).

Anonymous

I'm back! Keep losing the connection. Chicklet, I would love to play W w/Friends but I might have to cruelly and forcefully dismantle the wireless system due to 'roid rage.



So, I may take Chevron' s advice and go find a lap to sit on. I'm hooked up to the juice now so I will have to offer the lap owner some of it. It's okay though, I have plenty! I can start with " Hi handsome! I see you like beautiful bald women. Would you like to see my.......port?"



On my way!



P.s. I let the nurse know how I COULD have entertained myself. She thanked me for my restraint. She also asked me if I got the ideas from the TV show Scrubs. Told her nope, me and my friends thought 'em up! Tonight I'll watch Scrubs for new ideas.

Thinking of you Phyllia 💛

Wessa welcome  .

ChevyyyyyyyyI couldn't be Joan Crawford--good lord "Mommie Dearest" with the one eyebrow. No Judy Dench, she's always bossing the guys around no matter what role she plays. With a highball in her hand. I like her best in 007Bond movies. OR I would love to be Mryna Loy. So, Coquetish and absolutely a MAHvElouS commediene. Think Thin Man series.

Saw ENT doc JP at 3pm today(Tues). Waiting 4 months for new ultrasound. If node grows any, out it comes. At this point he's talking only left lobe. So, we will see how right lobe behaves. He's happy with the wording related to nonmalignant status. Phrasing on these reports is everything. It as if they have hidden messages, you need to know the code. He was happy with the code, and is happy with the pathologist. So, I trust him and am willing to wait.

 Need to check out the Fairies

Chevyboy

Our little Phyllia!  Hugs and kisses to you girl! 

 

And Cammihasapicture!  WOW!  Not that's it's big or anything!  But very good Miss Cammi!  Oh wait!  Yes, someone said you are Goldie Hawn!  YES!  Perfect....  I liked her in "Overboard".... Along with...was that Kurt Russell?  Smart girl!  

 

Oh Wren.... Our dog Chevy, had allergies all over the place.... I mean he sneezed all the time, and stuff went everywhere!  I tried everything they told me to do, but the sneezes just drove us nuts.  Didn't seem to bother him in the least, but man, it was like I had to run after him with a mop.... And cleaning cloths, etc.  We had him for 14 years though, and loved him every second.....  What is..... IS.

 

Yes Shells.... same with Chevy....  But he was worth all the cleaning up.

 

"Chevymouth" .... That was funny Cammi Ha!  You KNOW I'm only teasing you right?   Cam.... My DH waits somewhere else, when I go for those tests...etc.  And DD goes sometimes and waits while I get Mammogram's.... I'd rather not have them around either.... until I get myself settled down after bad news.   It hurts them so much when something is wrong.

 

I went to visit the "girls" Cammi!  I went over because Kelli called this morning, saying Jake, their 12 year old dog had died last night....  Even I cried.   Nick came back from work, and took him to this place where he will be cremated.....   But the chickens were out in their yard.... I took them over some corn off the cob, which they devoured in a flash.

 

Hi Gardengumby!   Yes.... tall & thin.... something I know nothing about, Ha! 

Your Sister is just not thinking straight.... Like denial!  But it just makes you feel like you must have done something wrong.... and that's wrong of her to do that.....   We can go smack her around it you would like?  Smack her back into reality.

Yes, we're always here.... if you just want to talk... Sometimes we even make sense.....

 

Lezza!  See gals, it's Lezza!  Lezza, don't pay any attention to them.  We usually screw up a name anyway, but I'm trying to behave because you are "new" here.... like Gardengumby.    You SOUND like you are doing alright?  Hope you can tolerate the Tamoxifen alright.... 

 

Thinking of you Grammie!  Be careful!

 

Hi Shells!   Okay, so when can I make them new names....  YOU guys keep calling her Leeza....  So did YOU make her a new name?  

 

Yes Phylliflirt!  Yes....!  You go raise hell there....  Drive them all nuts! 

 

Okay Sass.... You can be Judy D.  I don't know who she is, but if you say so......  I know Myrna Loy!  Be her!   Glad you trust those guys.....

Yes, come over here, and we'll go find some fairies!

Shells Thanks, I felt it was the right message to send LOL:)

Sent a message to APRIL, I don't have her phone # .........

Shellshine

Leezette, Leezalooloo (LLL for short), Leezalillypad, Leezzie, Leezapaloosa - I better work on this.....

gardengumby

Chevy - thanks - instead of smacking I just ignore, ignore, ignore.  Works wonders.  I think much of the issue might be me.  I've worked around mostly men for - well - ever.  As a result???  or maybe something else... I seem to have issues with women in my family - mother, aunts, sister, daughters....  I get along/got along fine with Dad, uncles, husband, son...  I dunno.

Thanks for welcoming me.    I like this group, as insanity and I are closely united.

sas-schatzi

OK Gumby, the onslaught of new names are now allowed. You accepted hoolie's or hooligans, or hooliganism.

Chevy, sorry about the dog. I hate in when anyone loses a pet it soooooo sad.      The story about your Chevy and the baby were precious.  I found something for your fairy garden. May seem strange at first, but wait until it's nestled in . Try to take an evening pic.

Shells I already called leesa weesa, or something close.

Cami have you still got your gallbladder?

Phillyreadsomuch-----too many new books, come out and play---hey your on roids. Can you read on roids? I couldn't,  flying was the only thing I could fit in.

blondiex46

Yay Mary and Sas...so excited for the two of you....

Phyllie that is awesome....so excited for you no mets and chemo is almost over....how do you feel today.

Went to the lung specialist and he is confused as to why I can't breathe, so now on friday I have to do a swallow test with barium and an echocardiogram he wants to rule out a heart issue....chemo can cause problems with the heart, WTF, really.....got a new oxygen tank, hopefully I won't break this one, lol
