1st Ta Ta Sisterhood Reunion in Vegas

Dang, between my blonde brain and chemo brain - it is no wonder I can't do the math!  I will be 4 months PFC at the time and I was so hoping I would have 2" of hair and could get a baby trim but I don't see that happening if I only have 4 weeks more to grow hair!

Laura - I plan on packing my nice soft pillow - the one that I have to steal from dh every night because he can't keep up with which soft pillow I want even though it is the only one with a striped pillow cover on it.  You might want to pack one of your pillows also or take it on the plane with you.  I have been known to do that before!

Well if there is a bed open I am in. How is that for last second planning Laura?

Robin - that is great!

My poor husband, I freeze him out at night.  In the middle of winter with 12" of snow on the ground and the outside temperature is 20 degrees - I have the bedroom window opened up at least 12" and I turn the heater down to 50.  I also have the ceiling fan on so when we wake up, it is like a freezer in our room.  I am laying in bed with just a sheet on me and he is bundled up with sweat pants, socks, and a sweat shirt.

I can't tell you how many times I would walk up around 3 am burning up so I would go outside in my underwear when it was only 30 degrees for about 10 minutes to cool down.

The nice thing now is that my hair is so short that if I take a really cold washcloth to my head, I cool down really quick.

Laura ~ I haven't made my reservations yet.  I'm pretty sure we aren't driving.   My sister is in town now, so I have been buy with her and haven't made any reservations.  I need to figure out what I'm doing as far as getting there.  I can't wait to meet.

Peg

Peg and I will be driving to Vegas!  Hooray!  I can bring my pillows! And maybe we will bring some games with us also....and food....

Also, please note:  I am making name tags for all of us - with lanyards to hang around our delicate little necks!  So I will need all names within the next two weeks.  Also, I want to use our real names and under this our screen names....so if your real name does not appear on Tracey's list, please PM it to me....

Hi ladies...



last night I got my flight to Vegas. I will be arriving at 1:25 pm

much better than the 11:00pm flight I saw



for those that don't have flights yet check out Allegiant air ( non stop flights ) and see if they fly out of a airport close to you



the other night they had a flight drop to $39 before all the fees



mine was $139 but last night when I looked it was $79. But after all the fees it's $141 (and yes this is a one way ticket). I don't think I want to bring that airport home because it would mean leaving Vegas at 6:00 am so may choose a different airport which leaves at 3:50.



tonight I'm going to a wake of a running friends wife that lost her battle to breaast cancer. Today I found out my co-worker who's also a survivor grew up in their home town so she's going to join me for the drive and go out for supper with her mom when I'm done



cancer has brought such heart ache but yet so many positive things to my life



U ladies are one of them and this trip is another : - )

Please report back when you find out how long it lasts!!  Thanks, JUDY

I like that one too Deborah.. FAKE BAKE is what I use.. LOVE it..no smell.. lasts...:)

So sorry Sandy.. I hate to hear this.

I hope tonight was ok for you and all your friends! God Bless.. you know I pray for these things sister. (((((HUG))))))

Ladies.. is it just me... or are we all getting excited for Vegas..:)

So many of you have sent me your cell phone #'s...I always feel better if I can be in contact all the time.. ( can you IMAGINE being MY child... poor kids.......LOL)

I'm getting very excited for Vegas, including the drive up there with Deborah!!  Has anyone had a massage at a spa since their exchange?  I'd like to get one, but I don't know about laying on my stomach for that long.

just last week I got a 1 hour massage and it felt sooo good

when I went to her and had my TE I used to put a towel under my breast to help hold me up

do you feel fine laying on your stomach in bed?

It feels a little uncomfortable when I lay on my stomach.  I guess if she positioned a towel to relieve pressure that might be okay.  I want to get one even if it means I have to lay on my back the whole time

I had a deep muscle focused massage after my last revision surgery,because I has terrrible neck pain on one side.  The therapist propped me up on one side. It was a bit uncomfortable, but certainly helped the neck pain.

Bumping up......

Even though I am not going to Vegas, I will wear my Vegas t-shirt on Sept 25th...in honor of all my sisters.....Sorry that I had to disappoint so many of you....I will be thinking of you that weekend.....What about New Orleans next year and we can visit those great doctors that are at NOLA....LOL

Ladies.. it is almost Sept...

ALL I AM GOING TO SAY... is once Sept. hits... it is ALL ABOUT VEGAS CHAT SISTERS!!!

Steph... where has your roommate gone??????? I have not seen her smiling face around here?

Wahooooooooooooooooooooo

I can't remember if I've already shared this with you all--chemo brain ya know? Please ignore if I did. This is a video of a group from BC.org who have been meeting since 2005! Each year they meet at a different city-this year it was Seattle.
