For those starting chemo in June

What do I want to be???? Let me think a little.... I think I would like to be a stripper but I think it is probably a little late for that, A day late and dollar short sorta speak. Yea, I could look good with enough duct tape but it would only look good from one side(the side without the duct tape). I can't dance well, I don't think I could jump on a pole and slide down and look sexy or even like I should be any where near it because my body doesn't do limber, it doesn't do normal for that fact. I can hardly hold onto a railing while walking up steps for that fact. I don't think I could be a cyclist or runner because spandex is definatly not my friend. I couldn't imagine in my worse nightmare my butt in spandex laying over a little bicycle seat. No that even grosses me out!!!! If I hit a bump the cheeks of my ass would probably fly up and smack me in the kidneys and that could leave a bruise. I can't go back to school cause I would never remember what I read or if I was to read it in the first place. I want to work somewhere that I can get a good discount on what I buy there. Sears power tools dept. maybe. Ahhh, I just don't know. What ever it is the people have to be well and know who they are. I just don't know....Goodnight ladieds, Mary

Welcome back Renee, The trip sounds so great. Sorry about your dog????It was the dog???? They get to be like family and its hard to lose them. Ya know I went to Springfield today with my hubby and completely forgot I had to go to the Dr. with my dad. I remembered Sunday but it got lost today in my creepy mind. Anyway, I don't know if it's me or if my hubby drives like ahh ahh he is nuts. He tries to irriatate me but this goes beyond that. When I yell at him he acts like "whats wrong with you?" today he is going over the speed limit and sees a cop going the other way on a 4 lane and the cop puts his blinker on and my hubby turns off. He thought the cop was after him, so if he had been, and he wasn't, we would of gotten not just a speeding ticket but hauled in for eluding a police officer too. Oops gotta go. Hope everyone is getting good clean reports. Later Mary

Hi Girls, Janie my dad did get there by himself. We meet there usually because he lives in a little town 18 mins. away. I told him it was his fault for not calling and reminding me the night before. Pretty bad my 76 year old dad has to remind me. I called my onkie today and asked if my M.R.I. was back yet. I have to wait until Thurs. for my apt. Now when I am talking in my own head I say things I wouldn't out loud so I said to myself "screw you" and I proceeded to call my reg. Drs. nurse who said I will make some calls. She called 2 hours later and said theres some arth. but everything looks good. Now since I didn't do the dye that could mean the cancer is in there and could not. Theres something showing in my neck and darn if I could remember after I hung up. It was a hemogram or arthragram or some crap. So I looked those up and shoot I will wait until Thursday. The nurse said the marg. was normal for it what ever it was so could just be blood in the bone spaces she had no idea either. I guess we don't retain much ortho when going through school even though they put you there forever.. I don't freeking know. I am not doing anymore scans for a while. Hope everyone else gets good reports. I will have the brac. in the morning mail so Renee should get it by Sat. Later little gators, Mary

Janie, Glad to hear you are ate up with arth. and not cancer. P.J. you enjoy the visit with your mom. I envy you. I had notta, nothing, not a damn thing show up to account for my pain. My onkie said since my blood is showing my bones are irritated he believes it to be Fibromyalgia. I am going to a Neurologist guy in a couple wks. Well I am glad all looks good for us. I sat by a new gal today. She has lung cancer. She had B.C. back in 1964.....She had uterus cancer 5 years later and here she is a 3rd. time. Wow!!!!41 years. There is hope. Gotta get my benadryl sleep. I am freezing from the treatment. burrr, of course the temp is like 25 dergrees lower today than yesterday. My daughter and boys are eating here so gotta sleep it off. Nitie nite, Mary

Renee, Yes, I got it at J.C.P. and they had a lot of charms but not a birthstone for Dec. so I got an M. Hope everyone had a good wk. end. I have been cooking and baking, things I haven't had time to do for so long, it may be I am bored too. Later, Stay warm Renee. J.P., have a good time with your Mom and Hi to Janie. Mary

Hi Girls, well I got the boarder hung in my bedroom. I have had it for about a year now but I wanted to wait a year to make sure I liked it. Yea right, I think thats called lazy or just too busy. It's up now and looks pretty good. We are downsizing so we can work part time eventually. We just can't find a smaller place thats nice and not a small fortune. Everything we have looked at needs a lot of work. I am too old and Lord my husband doesn't need anything to do with that at all.....He keeps saying "I can fix that up" who the heck is he kidding? I may have chemo brain but I am not brain dead....I really hope this our last winter up here. Well I gotta get a shower and tomorrow I will roll the idea of vacuming over in my head and if I get really daring....I might dust too. Hugs, Mary
