    Jim and I are going to visit his family (Mom, brother, sister-in-law, three nephews, two nieces-in-law (??) and one niece-in-law-to-be) in Blacksburg, Virginia, for Christmas, weather permitting.  We will have Christmas with my parents, sister, and brother-in-law the Sunday before Christmas.

    The more Christmas, the better!!Smile

    Sandy-THANK YOU!!!  Got it from FB, now I understand the comments being made after listening & watching the video.

    Here's my WAHOIE-putting my spare change aside to add up for our 2nd TA TA SISTERHOOD REUNION

    As far as Christmas-my goal is to try & stay out of hospital-seriously. Started coughing just like Aurora(daughter) & now it has turned that beautiful color. I seem to always get pneumonia about this time of year & have spent 2 out of 3 last Christmas eve's in hospital. Giving it my 110% to kick it's butt!  Hoping to spend Christmas here at home with hubby,son & daughter. Then part of it with Dad & siblings at his home.  Have planned a Mother/Daughter day, something Aurora & I came up with before I went into this last surgery. Start off with getting our nails done then trip into Portland & do "Build a bear" where we both will pick a animal to fill & choose a outfit, then Chuckie cheese's-she's never been. Great way to finish off this past year.  Hubby & I have plans in Februray for Vegas-so see....everyone wins!!!

    Love to all   Prayers for healthy season's & to our family of friends who need them

    Take care  Chow   XOXO Susie

    Hi all,

    I don't think I've ever posted on this thread before but I feel like I know you all from reading/lurking.

    Susie: You are such a trooper! Sounds like you've been through so much but you still have a great attitude. You are an inspiration to me. Get to the  doctor's office and see if they can give you something before you get any worse. Have a wonderful time with your daughter too. Before I had my BLM, my 10 yr old daughter and I did something similar and it really was memorable !!

    I am recuperating from my ooph/hysterectomy so I will probably be on the computer/boards alot more to help pass the time.

    Everyone have a great day and be good to yourself!

    SUSIE YOU WILL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!  Get drugs to get rid of your crud and try to enjoy your family.

    PACKERGIRL I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU!!!  PLEASE CHECK IN!

    OK went to my pulmonologist appt.  She is a very young doctor and very nice.  She kinda of acted like "why are you here" since there is nothing to worry about kind of thing.  As she was visiting with me she understood how i felt and how I needed confirmation that things were ok.  She said that the nodules on my lung are so small and too small to biopsy, plus they are smooth and don't look jagged, rough or bad looking.  Just like I assumed we need to do scans to keep an eye on them.  But instead of having 2 nodules she told me that I have 5!!!  They are 5mms.  I am relieved but still freaked out that I have them not to mention that I have more than I thought!!

    OK I will calm down....also I haven't mentioned this but I have been having a problem with my shoulder as well...and sometimes the pain is very strong..just depends on the way i move my arm.  My Physical Therapist says she thinks I have a bit of tendinitis and maybe a torn rotator cuff.  It's nothing I can't deal with...she told me to ice it.

    I do have some relief from stressing about this lung thing...but I will constantly worry.

    Anyway I hope all of you are enjoying your family at this time of year and loving them up real good!  We ARE ALIVE!!  YAY!!

    I love you girls!!  HUGS!!

    p.s. thanks for thinking and praying for me.  :-)

    Hello Sistas!!

    Well my eyes can finally see enough to type clearly. I was given some medicine that helps nauseau but made my vision really blurry so I couldn't read anything for a couple days. I had my exchange dispite mother natures plans. I will post more over on EC and get some pictures out there. Oh softness is just so so lovely. My back pain is totally gone.

    Thank you sweet girls for thinking of me and your prayers.

    Hi ladies,

    Back in the saddle after the nip surgery.  I do in fact look like a prizefighter with stitched up eyes and steri-tape on my face, but haven't had to take any pain meds at all and everything seems to be healing up pretty well.  I have been laying low since I don't want to scare the masses with this Frankenstein look I have going on, but ventured out last night to see the Guy Fieri Roadshow.  If you aren't familiar with him, he is the rockstar chef from the Food Network.  Totally felt like Nicole Ritchie going in with my big sunglasses and hat, but I found I wasn't alone.  At 9:00 at night I can't tell you how many people were sporting sunglasses!

    Super fun show.  I'm glad I went out.  Stitches should come out on Monday.  Hope everyone is doing well and having a great weekend.

    well I think Laura asked about Christmas

    My mom and dad are having it the Sunday before Christmas and Rick's parent's are having it Christmas night

    Than I have another awesome opportunity to go to Edisto Beach in South Carolina and stay in a beach house just 3 rows away from the beach.  This is from a friend I met at the Grand Canyon

    my family is even invited on this trip

    Kelsey will have to be missing out since she made all star and will be in FL performing in the capital 1 bowl game

    Our invite is from Dec 26 - Jan 4

    the weather will depend on when we leave and come back.

    Please remind me is there any BC gals close to SC that we could get together

    Or heck this beach house sleeps 14-20  if many others don't show up I might be able to see if my BC frienss could come join me for a couple of days

    Hello sisters, just a quick note to say hey and catch up.  I just read 6 pages of posts, yes I am a little behind.  I just decided to give myself a break close my office door and do it.  I keep up with some of you via facebook since I get it on my phone and is kind of quick.   I miss you guys so much and so wish we lived closer.  Laura I am in for Kansas in February if everything is on track.

    Packer girl, it is so good to hear from you, now what is EC??? I know I am a little behind.  You have no idea how much that cd has helped on my frustrating days.   My daughter can sing most of the songs by heart.

    Can you believe the amount of lives lost by cancer close to us.  You are aware of it if you if you read every day but if you read it several pages at once it really hits you.

    Has anybody heard anything from Teresa or Susie???

    Kristina, how are you, how did your appointment go?  I bet in reading everything I missed her update, got to go back and read again.

    I am not ready for Christmas, I just told somebody in the office it does not feel like Christmas at all.  We were hit with bad news yesterday, Jeff's grandmother died suddenly yesterday, she was 94 and had a full life but still very hard when we were not expecting it.  We are leaving Thursday am to go to Indiana for the funeral.  Megan is taking it very hard.  Her daughter, Jeff's aunt and Godmother died about a month and half ago so it has been a rough couple of months. 

    Well sisters I really hope you guys are doing great and if for some reason I do not post before Christmas (I am going to try to do better, this is one of the things I do just for me) Merry Christmas to all of you.

    Love you all
