    I woke up to big thunder from a storm passing through.  We had quite a lightning show and a little hail.  Hopefully the rain will continue for a bit.

    Just want to mention that I already have some relief from the pain in my hands and feet.  I didn't expect that so soon so I'm a happy girl!

    Good Morning World - I think I hit my max on the pain meds - almost slept through - not good when working. Here is a peaceful picture for all to take a moment to reflect.. and breathe.

    I'm so sorry little Veggy..... Damn!  I don't know what I would do, if it were me....  I guess you just gotta do what they say, or advise, and put it all in God's hands...

    It's like no-matter what you gals are going through, we can all come together, and maybe make you feel better, if even just for a minute, but today is going to be a hard one.

    Can you just let us know what the next step is Veggy?  I know there are quite a few gals going through this on these threads..... I'll see if I can find those links!

    Cammi!  I love you guys....!  And when something is going wrong, or we are afraid, it just makes us all want to hold you and make you feel better.  I was just so sad, I went out and sat in the dark and drank my coffee, and I just thought of all the things I have to be thankful for...

    Ladies, need some prayer right now if you get this.  I'm titrating on the new timed-released gabapentin. Its called Gralise. Last night was the time to up the dose and today I'm really... well... not in pain (good)... really feeling weird and in a panic for some reason.. maybe because I feel out of control.. I REA:LLY have to concentrate to type this.  And I'm editing press releases!! now... OH MY prayers please that I don't make any major mistakes.

    Morning amazing holligans ;)

    First off I wanted to appoligize for being MIA... Second trying to catch up... Reading.



    Happy Belated Birthday to Chevy and Sass. I think I figured out why we vibe so well ;) we are a bunch of Leo's ;) My birthday is Aug 2.



    Second Veggy I have been praying and sending good thoughts and hugs your way!! You are amazing kick cancers ass. You are so tough brave beautiful amazing.



    I have a lot to say to the rest of you beautiful ladies but I want to catch up on my reading.



    Also wanted to thank you all for your words of encouragement and advice. Tim's parents are stepping up a little more and have changed their attitudes slightly ;) family dynamics are tough. I was glad to see Tim's positive reaction to their slight change.



    Radiation everyday for 5 weeks. I am starting my second week. Treatment only lasts 10 minutes if that just starting to have skin changes ie redness and tenderness. But I have a super fair completion. It is a lot to juggle Austin, Work, and Radiation. My daily treatments are scheduled for 630 am so we don't inconvenience any one with Austin. Plus helps with work.



    My family that lives in Vineland NJ are here to see me bc I could go back to the shore for the summer. It is so good to see them. But can't tell you how depressing it is. I know there is next year. Can't wait to put Austin's toes in the sand. The beach is my favorite place to be. I feel healed rejuvenated and relaxed. Sorry I will STFU... Want a sweet corn and the most perfect NJ tomato and of course blue crab yumm



    The family and I are heading to the mountains then to the Grand Canyon. They have never seen anything out west so they are excited. But it will be HOT!!



    I will catch up reading the next few days so I can respond accordingly. Thank u holligans u mean the world to me!!! Sending healing hugs xoxo

    Shellnosy--8:40ayem---early, dopey me--kinda early.

    SweetPea u've got lots going on now-but I'm glad a little progress was made and u'r DH sounds so nice.

    Gma sometime these meds give us anxiety (everyone's different) but for some reason any med can do it-maybe it's our own body or the med I don't know and this is not a medical opinion, it's my opinion cuz I've been on so many and some I've counteracted with my xanax, but some meds I can not take I feel like I'm shakey and screwed up (shut up Chevy) in my head.

    Veggy is u weren't scared u'd be a real vegetable. We're all scared for u, but we do know there is alot that can be helped with Liver mets now and put u in remission is the goal and u can stay that way for a long time--Please think that way cuz it's the truth. (((HUGS)))

    What's this about a NJ tomatoe I never heard it was better than any other tomatoe in my entire life. And that's a lot of years. why is it so special? I need to know this. Is it grown with likker? (yea I know about the spelling)

    Have u noticed I've been a little better at typing lately? It's the pain meds hahahahaha--SE shall we add this to SE's for newbies? Hey I feel like some kind of guinee pig anyway so we might as well do our own studies.

    Oh I took a nap (?????) and when I opened my eyes I saw this big thing on my ottoman that scared me and I touched it and all of a sudden a head pops up and says meow--the way she was laying I didn't recognize her. Plus my eyes were still crossed.

    Chevy, I did turn the tables on my DR GI. We were done with me. I kind of trapped him b/c we were in the exam room by ourselves. I thought he was in pain by my observations and he confirmed it when questioned. He's a friend as well as my doc. He's a stoic type. I wanted to make sure that he was getting care. He is. :)

    Sass.... tell Cammi to not take any more drugs.  She is sleeping somewhere, evidently with some sort of cat, and thinks it's a bug.   And sure, we can read what she posts, but I'd rather think she knows a cat from a bug.  And she feels like a "pig."..... Well, SHE said it.   She's probably hallucinating.... either that or drinking too much...  or smoking something we won't mention. 

    And Veggy!  Yes, I've heard that is the treatment for the mets!  So it's going to work! 

    Sass, you have to leave these Docs alone...I think.  Or maybe not?  He sounds very receptive to you....  I think he is intimidated by your knowledge of his and hers problems?    Are you beating him into submission?  

    One time a Dentist was also my friend..... He was really a lot of fun to talk to, so one time I called up and asked his Secretary if he could come out and play before my appointment....... Like having lunch with my Daughter and I..... but NNOOOOOO!  He was busy.... Wink

    A Jersey tomato~!  It was developed at Rutgers, (I think that is the name of it...) and I ordered the seed on line once.... but I couldn't get them to grow, past being a seedling.... Probably the climate here....  Julia Child's tomatoes and  seed are very good also.... Huge and very tasty!

    Grammie!  Are you feeling better right now?  Man, I hate that feeling of being "out of control"....!  I could say a few funny things right there, but I don't want to alarm you....Ha! 

    And Hi Sweet Pea, Crog, Shells, & Jackie & MaryWTH.....Be back tomorrow!  xoxoxo

    Sas I like the way Chevy talks to u like I can't read. I've been reading for a long long time--I even know the alphabet Chevy by heart. So there.

    How is everyone feeling.

    Veggy they've got a good handle on this for u, I'm glad about that.

    Maryfashionista--I am rusty on all this, but I do know fashion and make-up and lotions so we'll get u all prettied up for u'r big day.

    OK for now crog-native u've been quiet too quiet. What's going on.????

    Chevy there's a bunch of old friend docs, none that are single though-bummer. Cami does sound strange, but who am I tio say anything. I told my PCP that I've chosen just to enjoy my vertigo. When the crystals slide in the inner ear, I take a roller coaster ride. Wheeeeeeee.

    Does anyone have foobs? A side affect of the swimming my pectorals are getting firmer, therefore my foobs are perkier. Who knew?

    There's a rocket supposed to go off tonight. Night launches are really pretty. Like a candle going up :)
