    Good news....no surgery today for John...things are looking up!  Doctor was pleased with healing since Monday and even the Chief Cornea Surgeon came in for a second look and was also on the same page as John's doc.  He goes back next week for another look and then has a few weeks off for healing and resting......docs all thought Florida was perfect for some R&R like we planned...okay to fly too!  YAY

    I take

    Quercetin. D3. glucosamine sulfate. Boswellia. White willow bark. Magnesium. Curcumin. CoQ10. cinnamon. Gingrr.  fish oil.  I think there's something else too, I'll check later.  Not home right now

    I would bet the claritin is helping as I MUST avoid allergens.  If I eat or am around things I am allergic to I pretty much cannot move.

    Good news chickee....!!!!

    Hi, OH must say not having turkey is great--having New York Strip roast. Will tell you how it turns out. Never done it before. Lots of standing rib, but not this.....Asked one year for all the people coming if they like turkey. No one really did, except DS. So, standing rib or steaks, and salmon. The year I cut out GM's recipe of cream corn, DS said he was doing the menu for the next year. He's older now and goes with the flow.

    I made a bernaise sauce and a Aue Jus today..rewarm tomorrow. Cook the roast AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Everything else is assigned or in the frig

    I'd set the table tonight, but Dini wags his tail so much I can't risk hairs. His hair goes everywhere from him wagging it so much. Remember he was the very neurotic rescue baby of last year. What a difference 11 months can make.

    Dear Drama Boyfriend is turning into < DDBF. He helped out over the last few weeks, but today was special---he folded and did laundry and put away what he knew to do. Cool. The hoot is the folded towels on a shelf. Why do guys not get the FOLD and the BALANCE of colors on a shelf?

    DS and <DDBF have to do the last prep to the deck, minus the toilet. They have to work together, they so far are being polite.

    Chevy, one of the very , very comforting things about <DDBF is he has never showed at any moment ---any---of me having something to say about DH. I've heard and read of such. But he has helped me. I'm still grieving DH's loss. But  I never hesitate with <DDBF to say a story or refer to DH. So, while <DDBF has  his faults, being able to never hesitate about a DH reference is, I believe remarkable.

    Chevy it was and is like a convergence of stars. My PCP that listens, My counselor that listens. My <DDBF that listens. Between the three of them with their part, I am becoming whole again. Add to that my absolute favorite cousin out of 60 some, has come to visit the last two years three times. Her and Dh and <DDBF 's live's are paralleling each other.  Two nurses that are hugely into infection control with two guys that are hugely into getting dirty----working. The conversations are sssssssooooooo funny. Both L and I, make the guys get undressed in  the garage. Special wash for their clothes. --------What was GREAT for each guy is they could commiserate about how crazy L & I were---ARE--

    So WAIT! You balance the colors on the shelf???? Now WHO does that??? I think there is a term for that.... but it escapes me.


    You sound SO happy Sass! Couldn't happen to a better or more deserving patient gal! Nobody listens to ME...Ha! Just Miss Lacee face, and the chickens.... The chickens make little "peep" noises when they see me... and they "squeak" together... So they KNOW I am bring them "stuff!"


    Dear Husband listens too... he says I snore.... I say I don't... Except SOMEtimes I wake myself up.... Ha!


    Sorry gals, for your losses.... no, I can't imagine.. It was terrible enough just DREAMing about it... But you are going on with the rest of your life...((((hugs))))


    CHICKERS!!!! Happy Hanukkah to you too! And where is everybody else.... I know..... sleeping like any normal person would be...


    And Happy Thanksgiving everyone... Enjoy your Turkey, Ham, Roast, and those color-coordinated shelved towels Sass! xoxoxoxo Loopy

    Thanks, GG. Some of those are in the multivitamin I take. I will think about the others.


    Great news, Chickie, on DH non-surgery! Enjoy your trip!!


    I am so sorry for everyone who has lost hubbies. My BIL died suddenly almost 3 years ago and my sister has had a hell of a time.


    Happy Thanksgiving to all and Happy Hanukah to those who celebrate!

    back at cha Sweets...


    Having a decent day, till someone on the phone who called to say Happy Thanksgiving, could tell I was a little depressed, and after a few minutes said......"YOUR LUCKY, I KNOW 2 WOMEN. IN THEIR 30's WHO JUST DIED FROM BREAST CANCER"..........as horrifying, and sad as that is.......I said.....trying to keep my composure, but with "fire" in my voice said.."don't you dare ever tell someone with breast cancer that they are lucky"............today stage 1........next thing you know stage IV.....we live a day at a time....mammogram to mammogram, never ever again tell me how lucky I am having breast cancer at all.....

    good for you Ducky...sometimes people need to hear that they are clueless, inappropriate & just plain hurtful.. The STFU is what attracted me to this thread, oh how I have wanted to say it in the last 5 months.


    Thanks to all for the funny cartoons, support, and friendship this group displays on a daily basis. It has been a pleasure to read the posts, chime in once in a while...


    Last Taxol in the morning...Happy Thanksgiving ....

    Since this is the STFU thread, RANT coming!!!!


    I finally have enough hair for a trim. I also have chemo curls on just one side. Looks dumb. So I walk in a salon, get seated, tell her what I want. Said take the chemo curls as short as you can. "Oh? Is that what that is?" Um, yes. Then,"are you finished with treatment?" Yes, this time last year I didn't have ANY hair. Then,"you know, if you rub castor oil on your scalp it will make your hair grow. Get it at the health food store."


    I wanted to scream STFU! I'm da$m lucky to be alive! And thankful to have some hair!


    And the haircut isn't that great. Rant over.

    I have trouble spelling Jewish words so I don't use them often. That sounded really stupid, but I'ts me.

    Ducky good for u tht should be everyone's answer when people say things like that--they really have no idea what they are saying--every single time we get something that lasts more than a week it's always OMG what now==Before BC I just never gave things a thought really, but now I think what going on now and there usually is maybe not cancer but resulting in SE's that hare horrible and how do u tell people that I mean cancer is horrendous but when they see u talking and laughing they figure it's over--this disease continues in some way or another for all of us--that's why we've come here--we do understand. I hope u day got better.

    I'm sorry about the people who say stupid things. They are just stupid, probably not trying to be hurtful. I'll never forget the oncologist who told me my breast cancer was like having "rusty pipes" the week after my mastectomies. I cried for days, never been back to an oncologist since. I guess I'm "lucky" I only had rusty pipes (then can I have my breast tissue back?).


    Actually I'm fine with my decision for Grade 3 comedo necrosis, but palease people, have a little compassion!


    Sorry Ducky. You know, when one of our sisters feels blue I feel it, too.


    I'm happy for you, Dwillette. Glad DH is holding his own Chickster.


    This Thanksgiving I'm thankful I have all of you.

    Oh Ducky what a feast u had, I'm glad it turned out well.

    Altho we do hear stupid things I have to say sometimes I have said stupid things, not meaning to, yes me, when we were all in the hospital for my mom 2 brothers, sister and me, she was eating chocolate pudding and decided not to have any more treatment or blood transfusions and asked the Dr. how long she would have and the Dr. honestly said bout 2 weeks--U have to know my mom always told her to be honest with her) we all just were dumbfounded and I was closest to my mom and said could I have a taste of u'r pudding, well my mom said get u'r own, this might be my last one--so she laughed and we all did. I guess I felt like we had to say something and 2 weeks later she died, but she could have lived longer she chose not to. Ducky u have to know I really loved my mom and that's what I said. But she was my mom and knew I'd say something goofy anyway. But I really hope I'd never be that insensitive to anyone, but my Mom cuz she was all right with it.

    i had to laugh at the balancing colors folding towels. My hubby started helping with The laundry a few years ago. There were the clothes lost to shrinkage as he otiginally thought everything should be washed in hot water. It took a bit also to convince him that a silk blouse really shouldn't be washed with jeans... but the one thing I gave up fighting was washing all towels and sheets with bleach. I finally just went with white.

    years ago I was pregnant, not feeling great having 5 kids to take care of.....I had a sink full of dishes, and my husband said..."I'll do those for you, just fix the water and suds"....I said...."great, cause he never did anything sround the house".......I fixed the dishpan, and he got in front of the sink......"about that time one of the kids brought their empty hot chocolate cup and handed it to my husband.........now I would have rinsed the excess Choc. Out of the bottom of the cup..........Noooooooooo.......not him, he threw the cup in the dishpan, turning the clean sudsy water into what became a swamp.........of course I yelled.......WTH did you do....your suppose to rinse it first...................he looked at me...........said.......I will never do another dish for you again, so you either call your mother....."hope the kids grow and learn fast.....or never get sick again........and he didn't.......lol........lesson learned.....appreciate what people do......even if it isn't your way......lol


    So, one time he did the wash, and threw a red sweatshirt in with white underwear, and we all wore pink undies.....even him .....till they wore out and we all got new............learned my lesson from the "dish washing episode".......did not complain..(at least not to him)


    Keep in mind......I was in the hospital having a baby, and the wash piled up....back then we stayed 5 days, so it was sink, swim, or go El Commando.............he had no choice......must say he looked pretty sexy in his pink underwear, although on the construction sight when it got too hot....he was the only one that did not take his shirt off......lol

    I am so lucky that he "helps" me clean the dishes, AND cleans the bathroom! I still don't have a dishwasher.... Not enough room in my little kitchen........ I never had one, so I don't miss it! But don't you just hate "floaters" in your dish water? Man, it drives me NUTS....Ha! (shut-up Cammi) It's like something foreign bumps into your hand in the dish-water, and you know YOU didn't put it there! YUK!


    I know little Gardens... I USED to wash everything in hot also! But now I hand-wash, or wash my stuff on "hand-wash" in the washer, and it isn't too bad! I still use a little bleach for the white stuff though.... You know what else I do? Somehow I wound up with so MUCH conditioner for my hair! But it makes it way too soft..... So I decided I can use it as fabric softener! And it works! Smells good too!


    I just bought some new flannel sheets! We went to Walmart, and they were NOT crowded! I was amazed! And so many clerks there to help everybody.... Now I have to get to work....Loopy

    Chevy, You've given me an idea of what to do with the bottles of conditioner I have. My hair is so baby fine that it just weights it down.

    ducky, I never look a gift horse in the mouth.:). If he's generous enough to help I'm certainly not going to complain. Having only white towels and bedding is a small price to pay!!! Besides, I'm rather fond of white. ;) it always looks clean!!!
