STFU (Shut the F*** UP)

DD actually had some of those chickens. They really do look funny. She said their eggs were good tho. She lost a chicken earlier this year and thought a coyote or racoon probably got it. A few weeks later one of the counselors at the group home next door admitted the clients had found it and made it a pet. She wished it well in it's new life.
What's the point of spell check if it only underlines the word and doesn't give you options of other spellings? This drives me nuts! -
Foley, you know I always gots a storey. This is no different. For others that think it's too much PASS ON BY
I believe I already wrote or talked about this. The first and only rt sided lower pain happened identical to me too. That first bout calmed down, very quickly even before I saw the gyn. No question I thought we were dealing with gyn. Constant pain right lower quadrant. Right where the ovary would be tucked in. Gyn doc good not palpate any ovary abnormality and ordered no tests. She did however recommend follow up(f/u) with Gi.. At the time it was not imperative i.e. same day or tomorrow visit b/c all symptoms abated.
Had to take a cross state trip to take care of and elderly aunt. Had a full blown Divertic attack, but I didn't know that's what it was.. Symptoms and signs were now left mid abdominal iliac crest level anteriorly.. Put myself on clear liquids- for two days.. Finished what I had to do for dear Aunt. Drove back to the other side of the state. Stopped at a gas station called DR "George Patton" my GI doc--pre-cellphone days. It was 5pm. His nurses let me talk to him even though office closed. He sent me straight to ER and he called ahead with orders.
Tests were done and ready when he got there. I had evidence of a small rupture that sealed itself off. 7 days in the hospital.
My DR. GGPElliot came in to read the tests that evening and evaluate me. He didn't need to b/c the tests confirmed it. He could have easily waited till morning. It was a Jewish High Holy Day and he had a house full of out of towners. But He always puts his patients first . LOVE my docs. It's so nice when you know the character of the doc, I rue the day he retires.
Teka'sYour angel here that asked me to write, she is so right, diverticulosis or diverticulitis is a very appropriate rule out for right sided lower quadrant pain in women. Men it's a no brainer, they haven't got anything else in that quadrant, but bowel, for the guys could be a hernia too.
There is an in depeth description that I wrote on the Constipation thread. On diverticulosis and diverticulitis. I'll put the link below.
Foley, I know you keep getting sprayed with the stuff going through the fan. One step at a time. But I also recommend a GI visit. If symptoms change or worsen before you can see the GI doc. Go to ER where your doc works out of (has privileges).

Hello, girls, sorry for the silence, but I was up and about this week busy with some documents I need for the insurance...
Tomorrow morning I get my blood tests done before round 2 of chemo!
A serene thought for all of you girls, keep strong and stay serene, we must go ahead!
Hugs,
Stellina
-
Yes, you've returned! -
Thinking of you tomorrow Stellina! Let us know how it goes.... -
Sure I've returned! The company is pleasant!
I was just wandering if and how much I can vent here... because apart from the insurance documents, I was also a little bit low for my psychologist told me that there are no guarantees in life and that I'm doing myself harm by expecting a sort of prize (for me the prize is not ever having to do with cancer again) for all that I'm going through right now. My common sense tells me she's right, but in this particular moment, it does me good to think that I will be "rewarded" with life-long health!
Also, I was quite low because my implant was again inflated and I'm afraid my new breats will be too big. I know it takes time for the drop and fluff, but sometimes time doesn't fly fast enough...
Ok, complaining moment over and out.
I should better see to posting a photo of my cat-boy Boris! He's such a darling in cheering me up in these times!
-
Stellina, just hang with us.... You can say anything you want! All the rest of us do.... so you will fit right in..Ha! -
Vent away, Stellina. That's why we are all here -
Welcome back Stellina. I had a Boris years ago - a wire haired fox terrier. DH insisted the dog needed a "he-man" name and I picked Boris.
Rant away. We have big shoulders. -
Have a funny story to tell you, its long so bear with me. Dh was having trouble with his keyless entry on his work truck. Anti theft system kept going off and his truck wouldn't start. We finally got it running and took off for the shop. going down the interstate, all of a sudden the horn starts honking and the lights start flashing. Talk about embarrassed. Of course its in a construction zone and traffic is bumper to bumper. Well it finally quits on its own and we make it to the shop. They think they fix it so we start home. Well it wasn't fixed. This time the horn starts honking and the lights start flashing again...this time in front of a church that's having a huge funeral. The cops directing traffic were not amused. I had to yell out the window that we couldn't help it. Of course we had to turn around and go back by again all the while the horn is blowing every 2 seconds. Got it back to the shop and they finally got it fixed, but it made for an interesting day....I swear Im not making this up.... -
YAY...FINISHED RADS TODAY....I GOT TO RING THE BELL.....
-
Chick...isn't the bell fun.....at Fox Chase Cancer Center they invite the family, to come.....all the rads techs blow horns, play music and clap as you ringthe bell, and take your picture for the wall.....it was quite emotional, cause you get to know them so well....loved my tech's....

The first day when he said "ok, take off your to robe".......I said...".your serious"..,,he said smiling.."as serious as a heart attack".........I said..."ok honey, if you can handle it, so can I"...,,,we became best friends..... -
LOL Miss Duck on the Mark thing!
-

Maryhonku'rhorn. I was laughing out loud so funny passing a funeral yet--celebrating???
Chevy we ate CHICHEN tonite so one less chicken is roaming around for u to get a picture of haha.
My anasthesialogist (sp) called me today to reassure me he was going to use a lite does of whatever he decides to use on me and be with me everysecond--I told him I watch Crime shows and I saw someone getting OD on propanahol (sp) he knew that, haha he watches the same shows I watch. It's not for a couple of weeks but I actually thought how nice he was all it is is the down the throat and up the ass thing but he read my history and wanted to make me feel fine about it. u guys know the only things that bothers me is being put out so he was nice.
OK I took some meds and I'm tired so I'm being extra nice tonite. BTW u guys are all great. -
Stellina, rant away. We take turns. Just by chance I agreed to do vacation coverage for a shelter cat named Boris. He may even be done with his medications by then. He a big black sweetheart. It's only for a week because we're going out of town after that. -

Good lord we should charge for comedy skit writing.

I just saw this video - it struck me that it applies to US! Even before she mentioned cancer, I was already connecting with what she was saying. It explains why I was/am so often feeling like I'm going to explode over what is essentially nothing. -
Stellina---I just nicknamed her LittleStar
Sweet Pea --Where are you ? I'll call tomorrow for a check in
Mostlymom----hello, thanks for the video. Hope all's well
