    ooooooooooooooooooooo Tender.

    I will probably cry, seeing you here.

    Of course, I cry when I see light bulbs turning on, an afghan on the couch, a glass of cold juice.

    Thank you dearies.

    I am getting more entertaining, the further I get in this journey.

    Just ask my DH.

    The way I figure it..... is that all the healing has to happen above the navel and that everything below the navel is good to convince the top half that it's worth getting better.

    So I will refrain from any more categorizations..... at least until we get to FL next week.

    This will all go down as gray-OH-they-think-I'm-crazy-sex.

    I am still in quite a deal of pain, but it seems better if I don't acknowledge that.

    Of course the SNB side is much more unhappy than my left side. Of course I am right handed and that makes me grumpy.

    I have an apt with my onc on Mon and hope he will have the 'right' prescription for the long haul, that will help with sleep, and the crying jags.

    Love to all of you.

    Faith, glad to hear that you are healing. Even gladder to hear that you and dh are creating new categories for post-mastectomy romance.  You are a funny, funny, eloquent woman!!  Just remember that each minute from now on, it gets better and better, and less painful.  Thinking positive healing thoughts for you. xoxo

    Faith, I am sure that since you are now over a week out, you have things worked out.  But, here is a tip I came up with concerning my SNB.  I was in pain there for weeks, so I kept canned sodas in the fridge and when I needed a "cool pack" I just wrapped on in a tea towel and tucked it under my armpit.  Sounds stupid, but the cool really helped me forget the pain. 

    I just thought you might get a smile from picturing me walking around with a pepsi tucked in my armpit.  You too, could look that fashionable if you want to.

    Good luck tomorrow with the onc appt Faith - get the good drugs!!!  As for the crying jags, I personally think we don't cry enough and hold too much in, so I'm all for you crying any old time you want to.  There's a Visa commercial out there right now that makes me cry every single time I see it ... part of it shows women in a bc walk of some kind, for about .75 seconds, but it sets me off even just hearing the music!  Anyway ... I digress :)  Take the good drugs, let DH treat you like the queen you are, and go slowwwwwwwly toward healing, baby steps.  We'll take your turn making sure the world rotates smoothly for a little while longer.  Love you.

    Faith- Here's to  a good onc appt.  I hope he gives you all the right stuff.  Just keep reminding yourself, you got your office clean and look how far you've come since then!  Your DH is a marvel.  Treat yourself right, you deserve it.

    I am laughing out loud......

    Flash. That clean office you remember me mentioning is now again an avalanche of paper and all the fal-da-rah of lovely travels, never completely unpacked, but piled into piles next to piles.

    LOL

    But yes, technically at one point in history it was 'organized.'

    But yes, again I have come far from then.

    At some point I will get to return to announcing the arrival of my second little picture book project.

    And at some point yet after that the third project will come to fruition......

    Please keep urging me toward my life.....

    It is waiting patiently for my rejoining it.

    xx00xx00xx00xx

    We are planning to leave for FL on Wed. afternoon.

    Seriously.

    Pending the onc's approval of course.

    LOL

    The only thing I have managed to organize are the 'categories' between my hubby and myself.

    LOL

    Hi my name is janet Saffron

    I reciently have found more lumps in both breasts and swelling under the right arm, I have had ultrasounds done on both they results came back I have 6 hard lumps in my Right Breast and 7 in my Left arm the Lymph Nodes are swollen under both arms the right one is so swollen and it has a huge lump in the centre of it size of a golf ball some is soft but there is hard pieces too.. I lost my sister in 05 off Breast Cancer.. I decided I wanted to spread the word so on Facebook I started the Color of the Bra which i have a fan page, also a Group for such Cancers of Breast, Cervical, postate, and Bowel Cancers they have taken off so well. I am so pleased I am getting the word spread in Color also my pages... I am glad that your on the mend it's a positive for you... if anyone has facebook my user name is janetsaffron or my email is janetsaffron@yahoo.com.au  but most of all i am trying to find answers to what unlike me many others are going through as well.. I see my surgeon on the 4th Feb and can't wait to see him and get these lumps removed.. he was on holidays so this is why I couldnt see him earlier and he doesnt have a dr to take over his patients to me thats just stupid.. I really hope I get my surgery ASAP... I am new to all of this I happened to come across the page while looking for posts for my Page and Group which is for both Ladies and Gents I really don't know how to feel but i do feel lost thats for sure well must go Hope you keep up on the mend I will popin each day to see how your doing kind Regards janet

    Gentle hugs Faith.  I'm hoping the Dr. gives you the go ahead to go ahead to Florida.  Lol, he sure will know you're okay if he's been reading about all your new categories.

    Hi Janet from Australia...... my guess is you're just figuring out your way around the boards here and that my happy little thread was at the top when you posted??

    You are certainly welcome to hang out here, with us, as we have some of the best, brightest and happiest folks gathered round this thread,

    BUT in addition you would probably be best served to navigate to the areas of the forum that are devoted to awaiting diagnosis etc.

    I think it's safe to say that I am allergic to the Percoset. I took one this morning, because I will be driving myself to the appointment w/onc & I am internally itching in every ounce of skin. As long as I don't scratch I seem to be 'ok.'

    It's like the head-game of the century.

    More discussion material for the onc.

    My parents are soooooooooooooo eager to have us 'around the corner' in FL. Sure hope that he gives us the thumbs up for departure permission.

    I thought of another category for this morning's romp, but since I promised you to just keep it all in the gray-OH-they-think-I'm-crazy category, I must adhere to my word.

    I got the pictures of the 'saint/faith' ribbon reinstituted. You've got to see it to believe it!!!!

    xx00xx00xx00xx

    I'm glad that I got that bigger purse, cuz you're ALL coming with me that's for sure!!!

    Speaking of purses, watch out that you don't have it too heavy. When I went in for my first post-op after my scar revisions, my PS's nurse picked up my purse and read me the riot act. It was too heavy and she made my daughter carry it.

    Florida...does that mean sunshine????? We fly to Houston next week and I am so hopeful they have sun, because we sure don't!
