Housework support group!!???!!

Coonie, I would call the doctor tomorrow anyway and let them know what happened.  That's amazing!  Are you on Tamox or any other meds?  I would feel much better if you ran that by your doctor.    I wish I could take a pil and lose 4.5 pounds!!  The Tamox has made me gain 12!!

Please call!  Let us know what they say.

Well, I'm on arimidex and have gained about 15 lbs since my ooph/mastectomy. Arimidex has caused all kinds of aches and pains, so it may be causing this fluid junk too. I'll see how I feel tomorrow, or hey......I may take another one and lose 4 more lbs and then 4 more the next night. That would be great if I could lose all my weight in a few days!!! Whew!!

Yeah Cali I had about 3 or 4 mugas. They did go down after the 2nd treatment, but went back up on the next test. I finished Herceptin in January and haven't had a muga since probably September, 08. I see my onc next month and may ask him about that. In the mean time, I'm gonna try drinking more water. Thanks ya'll!!!

That's what I'm talking about

I'm getting tired ladies.  Enough cleaning for today.

Try and get some rest.  I hope everyone is doing well!!

Hi all,

easy visit-  all blood work is looking good, no sign of primary mass on physical exam, my back is not bothering me too much,  just an injection of Lupron today and I don't have to see onc next month- just blood work and injection !!  A little more tired than most nights but also took dd and friend to shop for trip to Ireland next week (them, not me). Usually try to hang low for rest of the day and next. 

On weigh in, lost a few more pounds . Wish I knew what I was doing, but won't argue. At highest was 190 something, today was 161, much closer to good weight for me...feeling more comfortable physically w/o so much extra weight. I'm hoping that will help with the high blood pressure (see dr next week for check, maybe less meds ?). Also got names for rheumatologist (sp ?) so maybe some of the joint issues can be addressed and I won't be so stiff all the time. Onc gave me names of some who get the cancer/meds/joint connection...I can only hope.

Any way, hope all are well. I believe bribes work if offered in chocolate,.

Sweet dreams all...Elaine

I really enjoyed reading your posts.  I am not a candidate for this thread tho.  Over the last 3 yrs I have been doing less and less ..... I do dishes once or twice a week.  Otherwise I would have to count putting my clothes away and showering.  Tomorrow a woman is coming to interview me for a free housekeeper.  My 19 yr old does the laundry once a week.  But the bathroom is ghastly... especially the throne.  The floors have not been done since 2000 bc... I have the dust and cat hair to prove it.  I am not supposed to do ANY housework.  HMMMMMMM.  Does making Thank You cards count?  See I dont do anything that would make me fit in here.  Oh I forgot, I have taken to stuffing things away - under my hospital bed, which cannot be lowered to the lowest setting!  I AM SO BAD!!!!!!!

EWB Good for you!!

dream - you definitely qualify - I second the motion!  We don't have very high goals here, just helping each other through each day.

Barbe - I sure hope you are in a different time zone than me.  Do you ever sleep?  OK - I know most of us have a difficult time sleeping, but at least I lay there and pretend!

Off to make the kids lunch and get them on the bus.

TGIF, Good Morning everyone.   One load is in the dryer, left over from last night.  Another in the washer.  Coffee cup is full and I am looking at cloudy skies and 60 degrees is forecast.  

I finally called the Salvation Army to get these book cases, lamps and tv, but they will not take the book cases because they are not genuine, real wood and the TV is not a flat screen !!!!!!!!   Since I am in an apartment, I can't use the Free - give it away site -- by putting outside the door.   If I put a notice up on the bulletin board, maybe someone can use them.   I don't know any other charities around that might come and get them.   

Anyone have a good flowering plant  I can put on my patio slab.  There is lots of sun and it gets HOT, sometimes up to 100 degrees.   They would have to be in a window box or pots and I would like multi bloomers - maybe petunias?   When I had the house it was very shady under oak trees, so I used hosta, impatiens and coleus for color.   I may not do anything for a while, BUT I am "thinking" about it... LOL.  

Of course walking the dog is considered one job, sharon.  I don't have one, so if I walk my Imaginary dog, I am gonna count it.   Have a super duper day.    HUGS,  Nancy 

Dreamwriter- Yes, You are welcome.  And like Barbe Said a Thank You Card counts.

I know I wont get much done today.  Have an appt with my PS.  Dh is going with & is off all day..  So that really messes me up for housework- Good excuse at least.  We will run some errands.  Gotta go to the bank is one of them.

Didnt we say Banking counted?  LOL

 Sharon I think Walking the Dog Counts.

Have a Nice day everyone!

Pam

Banking should count.  And if not maybe you can "bank" it. Hahahaha

LOL- Mom...No- Im still not prepared for the Mess.

Sharon...That is a great Laundry room...I can barely move in my Laundry room...It has alot of Fabric stored in there

Pam

Ok - I took a load out of the dryer and put a new one in.  Walking the dog definitely counts - otherwise you would have an even bigger mess to contend with - that's called preventive house cleaning!

Every morning I have to scoop the kitty litter box - that counts as 1.  I have to go to the post office to pick up a package - its a chore and therefore counts!

My podiatrist told me to stay off my injured foot so that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it!

Mom2two - that was hilarious and all of them are too true.

One of my aunts (who is very organized) used one room in her house for any overflow.  She would say - time to go in and tackle that room - the mess is crawling out the door!
