STFU (Shut the F*** UP)

Chevyboy

Oh Sassy!  Good night last night eh?    And in CAPS yet!  Yes, we "celebrated" my tomorrow Birthday last night also! 

Cammi!  But I didn't know you had to have SURGERY!!!!  I know you have something hurting you and pressing on your Liver... (Wait.... Is that by your gizzard?)  And that the Doc's didn't know what they could do to you..... legally?  I thought we were going OUT on Wednesday!  You found a better offer?   Okay, fine.... just let me know sooner next time!  And here I cancelled all my other plans for a Time Out On The Town, thinking  just WE were going out to raise hell!

Oh, by the way..... I'm in your pocket kiddo!  xoxo

Chabba, just hoping you don't have to wait too long....I HATE that.... can you just CALL them?  Tell them that all of us here, wanted you to KNOW what was going on?  And tell them WE will give them a call..... THAT should do it.

Morning Julianips!  New ones, eh?  I wish I could get mine moved about 3 inches up!  I can DO that, but I have to use Duck tape across my shoulder and 1/2 way down my back.   Oh!  Is that what they mean by "nip & tuck?"  I could DO that.

If only we could all afford to have all of our parts minimized and put back in place as we get older!  Or even if we could have all our joints lubricated well enough to even bend back or over to SEE them!  I mean I can hardly turn my leg backwards anymore to see something like a bruise.... and forGET about moving my arms back and up enough to fasten a bra!  Sometimes I feel like I have a 4X4 tied around me!   And getting down on the floor isn't 1/2 as hard as flailing around trying to find something close to pull yourself UP with.

I'm not complaining....... well, yes I am.  It was the nips thing.... and me thinking about all that has changed.

Little Veggie.... Do you have someone close to be with you and help you through all of this?  I just wish we could all help you more!

Okay, Shells.... hope the worst has passed, and you didn't get slammed by any storm.  I was watching Storm Chasers last night, after I woke up and couldn't sleep..... Man, those guys are just 3 kind of NUTS!   They go out, and try and find tornado's and storms and they think that is the best fun of their lives!   And the REST if us NORmal people are IN the house, trying to get aWAY  from it all!

Morning miss Phyllifunnyface and Chickers!   And oh!  There was someone ELSE on the last page!  I'll post this before I LOSE it.... and come back!

Chevyboy

It was Crog!!!!!  Welcome here!  Guess we can't do much with YOUR name.... You already DID!  Ha!   Okay, Cindy.  Hope you stick around awhile!

And thank you Cammi for the little Birthday wish!  And the idea of a little Vodka!  You know, I used to LOVE white Russian's... or a Screw-driver!  But the last 6 months, they make me so TIRED!  So I just fix a Chocolate Coke....!   I think if I drank more than ONE drink I would fall over on my face.  Besides, ONE of us around here has to maintain SOME sense of decorum.....  Whatever that means. 

And Wren knows how to eat the Papaya!  It IS the best with just taking out the seeds and squeezing a fresh Lime in it!  Sooooo sweet!  It's just hard to find them around HERE!  Mango's are good, but not like a Papaya.

And "HEY"  Spookie and Grammie!  Talk to y'all later! xoxoxoxo

Here is a nice calming picture for the Birthday Girls and for the ones going through tests or treatments! Everyone else - What do you see in the Clouds?? Pillsbury dough boy???

Shellshine

Hip Hip Hurray Mary!!!  

Happy Birthday Sassafras!!

gardengumby

Chabba - good luck with the oncologist and test results.  Why did they need to do a bone marrow biopsy?  That sounds REALLY painful!!

Shells - good luck with the storm.  I heard it wasn't too bad, but not actually being there makes a difference....  :> LOL

Happy B-Day to Sas and Chevy and an early one for Mary. 

crog234

Thanks for the welcome Chevy... I know a few of the posters here from other boards. I am more of a reader and not so much of a poster. I have been reading this board for awhile. It makes me laugh and God knows we can all use some laughs.



Happy Birthday tomorrow Chevy!!!!!!!



Hello to everyone who posts here...



Cindy

Chevyboy

Hi Garden!  And for Chabba..... I went with my MIL one time for them to do a bone marrow test..... From what I saw and understood, it was to measure her bone density?  Don't know about a biopsy..... But they just used a little instrument, like they did when I had a biopsy on a skin cancer..... A little thing that goes in and takes out a "plug" of tissue or bone..... I think they deadened it first. 

Thank you for the birthday wishes and picture!  So peaceful! xoxoxo

Happy Happy Birthday, Chevy and Sas!!!

Chabba thinking of you today Prayers are coming your way and I hope everything turns out ok..

I realized in all my pictures for July, I had no landscape pictures from the house. So I'm going to make up for that and show you the other day with the fire and now.. I think we are blessed with fog and moisture! 

dwill

Julianna, yeah--I been very wimpy for about a week.  Hell, I am crying as I write this.  My guy friend (whom i haven't even had the chance to meet in person) is in the hospital with that very serious stomach virus that have been on the television for about 5 days.  He is seriously ill and when I hear from him, he tells me how much pain he is in.  I know that is some of my depression.  Before he got sick, we talked up to 4 times a day.  We clicked so well.  He made me laugh and feel alive and not think about this BC.  Now all of a sudden I may hear from him maybe every other day--like yesterday-- he texted me a short message saying he was still hurting bad and had nonstop diarrhea.  He will not let me come to the hospital.  This is the poem he sent me when he first went into the hospital--- 

So many dreams that flew away.  So many words we didn't say.  Two people lost in a storm,where did we go wrong. Old wiser and hoping to find happiness.  Keep me in your prayers.

I am 60 years old have lived alone since my divorce 7 years ago and haven't dated in over 4 years--I liked this guy and have invested my heart in him for a month and now it seems he is gone. I believe he is sicker than he says. He is 64.   Life seems so unfair.  I still have the lump, got another fill yesterday and finally the PS told me I had at least 3 more to do.  I am already at least 500 CCs.  I am going back to work August 12th and have at least 5 doctor appointments in the month of August.  Two were scheduled on the my first day back to work but was able to reschedule one of them until 2 days after I start work. Sometimes, I just feel so lost and alone with BC to deal with. dwimpy

dwill

Chevy, Thanks for that inspiration poem. How I needed to hear those words.

savgigi

Dwilly, I'm sorry this is such a rough day for you. I hope your friend is better soon and that everything gets back on track.

dwill

Thanks Savygigi,  I think today is the day i wil just crawl back in the bed and try to regroup.  Life is beautiful and I need to get a grip on things.

dwill

Happy Birthday, Chevy and Sas!!   Hope you have a wonderful day of celebrations!

dwill

Shellshine--still have the lump, using the ointment I was given to see if it just a clogged hair follicle come to a head but will see the Oncologist on the 1st of the month.  Will keep you informed.

sas-schatzi

I'm Backkkkkkkkk. Good I had it done. 3 polyps, never had more than one. So, will see what kind of plan I'm on at f/u appointment. Saw lots of old friends. Requested two old friends for the procedure. Another old fiend started the IV. They weren't too buzy, so they let me sleep. Delightful on the meds 1 1/2 hrs. When I woke up they had a cutely decorated  b-day cupcake. Can't eat it till tomorrow. Will be heading for bed soon.
Foley glad your okay, Shells the same.

Julia, your right the headlights will settle down 2-3 weeks.

Mary, The porch party needs to be scheduled. HUGS AND KISSES TO YOYR BROTHER

FlowersHaven't heard from you, You were recovering from sx so is anything up.

Cami take that thing I sent you to the surgeon on WED. I don't think it will offend him at all, cuz I said it wasn't surgical, it was anesthesia. Tell him he was wonderful the way he kept watch, and made sure your PCP was involved

Mostlymom, oh your not neutered , just fixed LOL.

Dwilli give things some time, all is not done with, just a few interferrences.

Savi, thank you, you always pop in when someone needs an uplift

CROG, glad you are here, I will get that off in the mail soon. HONEST!

Phyill I'll call toneight or vice versa-----heading to bed to sleep while some of those lovely drugs are on board.

Chabba--good luck on bx, Chevey described it right, but just got the name wrong

Stacey hang in there on the rads. Lots of in-the-know folks here to help.

Ckickie--Cooper pics?  Miss our baby! Who do you apply to for a service dog? I need one for my hearing UGH

Stacey & Chickie, there is money out there to be found for help with meds & nonmed stuff. But it's like a lottery ticket, if you don't buy a ticket, you can't win. You have to find the money, and apply. Getting Social worker help, we got a total of 9k$ in 2009. Every single dollar went to things that would have depleted us, had we not applied for them:)

Chevy did your fairy candle come yet? It'd be so nice if it came on your birthday:)

Hugs Veggy, Blondie, April, and Jackie. If I missed anyone SoRrY. Sleeptime now

Hugs all alround. I don't think I've seen it when so many people had serious things going on at once. Sending good thoughts to you all.

I went shopping today with my son.

Question: Does anyone remember getting a fuzzy face after chemo? What did you do about the fuzz????

Chevyboy

Well Veggy.... I would shave.  I really mean it!  I DID a few times, but not because of chemo.  My SIL always shaved her arms, and this was years ago, and she STILL doesn't have any hair on her arms!  

Or else can you buff it off with one of those Loofah things, or like those green rough pads for doing dishes?  Except I would probably break out in hives from using things too rough on my skin. 

SASSY!  IT JUST CAME!  IT IS PRETTIER THAN THE PICTURE I LOOKED UP ON THE INTERNET!  I JUST LOVE...LOVE....LOVE it!!!!   I am going to clear off our dining room table..... and set it in this white flowered candle ring!  Then I'll take a picture!  Right now I have the fairy garden out on a lawn chair under our Colo. Blue Spruce tree!  It has been raining sooooo much, and thought the whole thing would be flooded.  I'll light it and take a picture at night for you!  Thank you soooooo much silly face!  So now what can I do for you? 

Send me YOUR address, and I will send YOU a Starbucks gift card..... or a different kind?  I mean it!  Just send me your address.... and your whole name.... xoxoxox

Wren!  I KNOW!  So many of us gals are going through a lot of stuff!   I just would like to make it all go away.....

Okay Dwilli..... I would go there..... The hell with it.... I think I would just find a way to go see him..... Such a beautiful letter he gave you!   Are you too far away to go see him?  And would they let you in if you DID go?  I mean is it contagious?   Maybe tell him your plans first....  Give him time to hide his three wives first..... (JUST kidding!)  He CAN'T be hiding anything..... he sounds too nice!    If you GO.... just PM me, and I'll tell you what to do!     Just don't cry..... 

CHICKERS!  you little rascal!  How do you remember who has what going on???  I'm clapping my hands for you!  Take care of yourself....

xoxoxoxooxox

Dwill, sorry about the things you're going through. Ive heard that theres a nasty stomach virus floating around. Just stick with us we'll help you get through the rough patches. Does anybody know about Hashimotos disease? I had never heard of it before yesterday.

GmaFoley

Mary - I have Hashimotos thyroiditis - for  30 years now... They give me synthroid and it is one pill a day.. still have my thyroid and levels are normal now.

Chevy- I think you asked if there's anyone here to go through this with me.

On the top of the list is my husband. If I beg him enough, he'll let someone else take me to my appointments. He wants to do it all. But he has to work and he has his aged mother to help too. I'm a pretty strong person even though to meet me you wouldn't think it. I have a lot of friends who help too and they'll drop whatever they are doing for me. You guys are my comedy routine, drama, and confidants.



I did end up shaving my face last night. There's always a first time.

chabba

Procedure went smoothly with no pain until evening.  Some soreness last night but very sore today.  Not hydrocodone sore but definately 2 advil sore.  Don't know when I'll get the results. They won't be available until Fri or Mon and MO has gone on maternity leave so I don't even know who I'll be seeing much less when.  I called yesterday to check on an appointment date but have not heard back.

savgigi

Chabba, I hope you feel better soon and get good results.

juliaanna

OMG, just got back from the PS. First words out of his assistant's mouth, "My, you look chipper today." I literally stopped in my tracks, saw each of your faces in a huge group and blurted out, " Why shouldn't I be? Everything is good."



Headed out to get my hair done. Be back later.

This is my 'slogging thru the shite' post.  Had labs today and counts are low (of course they are).  Neupogen shots today and tomorrow plus today IV zofran, pepsid and fluids.  And stop the Zelda for a week.  Same story, different day.  Whine, whine.  Thank you for listening.

ChickaD thanks for the welcome to the NutHouse.....



Sas when you get the chance, no hurry....

Dwilli deleted posts, with out repeat posts, worry us sweetie. You've been down. Veggy and I call it being in the basement. It's Veggy's and my code word for being depressed. Sometimes I helped her find the stairs and door and sometimes she helped me. We try to lock and hide that damnable door. BC is terrible at showing us that damnable door again. Please, come back . Whatever it is. You can depend on all of us.

Mary this endocrine web site covers everything thyroid. It's wonderful. I knew some stuff about thyroid, but this site is the eqivalent of finding BCO for information.
