    thank you Barbe,

    I think of you often, with your major pains and some of the possible similarities in our lemonette stories.

    Take care, hope you are having a good day!

    Coonie, I can't exercise either! When I tried the last time my knee blew up with a viscous fluid and I had bed-rest ordered for a week! They didn't even know after they drained 55 cc's whether a week would be enough! Yikes! I have to go to work for a living. I can't afford to exercise!!!

    Love to see everybody checking in!

    Shiny our shiniest. Sending you peachie vibes, hugs, more peaches and bunny loving good joy for this time at hand -- with it's many tests and the seeking of insight and info on your behalf. Oh how I pray that answers are forth-coming for you.

    Please know how much you mean to all of us. I know that you are doing your best to put a happy face on the whole lemonette situation. You are the very best!!

    Well bunnies, I think as long as we hop along a bit that should count as exercise. I for one just need to learn to put less in my mouth.

    Have rejoined a line dance aerobics class that I sampled two winters back. They have gone on, 3 X a week to meet and have now learned 60 choreographed dance/routines. Holy moley cows!!! They let me stumble along and they attempt to keep me moving in the right direction. I have the best time though I'm certain to be facing the wrong direction at least 40% of the time.

    This is my one, enjoy-to-sweat activity & I tell myself that it's good for me! Since this particular set up doesn't use a whole lot of 'arm/upper body' movement I seem to be able to tolerate it pretty well. Now they have told me that the routines are on YouTube, so maybe there's hope.

    Wishing everyone a happy, upbeat Monday!!

    xx00xx00xx00xx

    Arnie & Kathleen -- missing each of you...... and VivvyGirl of tomorrow, toooooooo!

    Hello lovely bunny friends! Thank you loveys for all your sweet messages. Bit on the side of whooped but wanted to pop in to leave you an update. ..nothing yet really.

    1-Top up ultra sound now shows small "polyp" in gallbladder. Nothing that would cause the symptoms and pain. The ultrasound "doc" said he felt happy that there was nothing "sinister"   he could see on the ultra sound. He was sweet, and really wanted to figure out things for me, but he didn't  know any of my medical history which was odd. He had an extra look to show me, the polyp. His sujestion was to look at skeletal or muscular issues or even ulcers as have had a few. But the pain does not feel like ulcers,and the omeprazole has had no effect on the pain, so again, not consistant with ulcers.

     2-As for the next test which was the Chest/abdomen and pelvic contrast ct, I will need to wait for results. I just hope they will keep looking and not just let me off to keep managing on pain killers for another year.

    The highlight of the day was meeting a lady that had just finished her bc treatment at the same hops as me in London and having a lovely long positive chat.

    Sorry ladies, Obviously it is a good thing that the ultra sound did not show anything of particular note, but as many of you know. It is nice to get "some kind of idea" when things are wrong so that you can manage the symptoms better. Never mind. Hoping for answers eventually. I feel rather determined now to push forward and get some answers no matter what.

    So..Once a lemon, always a lemon? Possibly.. but a happy grateful lemon nonthe less!!

    bless you loveys.. wishing you ALL a fabubrillwondergreat day! Going to bed. DH off to Italy tomorrow. Need some zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Nighty night loveys! You will all be in my prayers, as ever.

    Amen to Sharon's encouragement for good sleep.

    We certainly don't want anything sinister, but it would oh so lovely to have an answer for a simplish sort of an issue that could be easily attended to and sort ya out, straight away.

    Just want you to know that we're all here cheering for you.

    No more lemons.

    Less lemon-ness.

    More sorted................

    Sending gentle squeezes and smiles.

    And glorious sunshine.

    Hey Bunnies,

    Am here and reporting in!.

    Just going through a bit of a funk at the moment....tired of bc, tired of tamoxifen side effects, tired of being tired and mostly sick of my new acquired LE.  It is also coming up to 2 years since I started this adventure?? and cannot believe that it has gone past so quick so this could also explain my mood.

    Hope you girls are all doing well and had a great Christmas and New Year.  I had Christmas lunch at my house this year with the family. My sister who has deserted me since my BC came but did nothing at all......not even clear a plate while I was rushing around.  Guess who won't be coming to anymore Christmas lunches?

    Have you seen on your news networks about the Queensland floods here in Oz.  It is massive and looks like many loss of lives and thousands homeless.  If you could put a word in with the big guy for them that would be great.  Just a note I am thousands of kilometres from Queensland but have friends visiting from there and are due to go home tomorrow.

    Love and hugs to all my bunny friends

    Viv

    (((((((((((Vivvy))))))))))) When I first saw the news of what's going on "down under" I immediately thought about you. So glad you're ok. It is such a HORRIBLE scene there. So sorry about the family thing at Christmas Vivvy. I think you're probably in the majority with most of us. I know the holidays are a special time and SUPPOSED to be fun and happy for everyone, but the truth is, it seems to be one of the hardest and saddest times of the year too. I've experienced the same feelings you're going through. It is rough I know. Maybe one Christmas, just us bunnies can get together and have our own holiday!! Wouldn't that be a bunnilicious time!! Hang in there Vivvy. Even though your blood sister hurt you......your "breast sistahs" are here for you.......ALWAYS!!

    ((((SHINY)))) One step at a time, huh? So when do you find out about the abdomen/chest ct? It would be so good if they could just admit you to the hosptial, run all the tests, then tell you what's going on and fix your lemonette little body back to  normal. Thinking of you and sending lots of good vibes and prayers!!! Hugs to the little ones!!!! I hope the washing machine is A-OK now.

    ARNIE!!!!! So glad to see you!!! I'm very proud you got your Christmas decorations down before the month was out. You could do like some of my redneck friends........just leave 'em up all year and that way you don't have to worry about it. Hope you're feeling ok........and the family too!

    Here's a good example of decorations staying up all year long :)

    Vivvy, what Coonie said..again to you. I have ds at home again today so when I saw your post, I started to try and rush you a response that would express my thoughts and feelings about your post, but as I had to rush it, the words just didn't come, Thank you therefore to Coonie for saying it all for myself and many more bunnies. Hang in there! I am sure your friends will be comforted by your hospitality whilst they are with you. There really aren't the words when these things happen, just lots of prayers and love coming over from all over! thinking of you.

    Thank you again Coonie, you ARE the best spokes person for the bunny bunch. I hope your pains are starting to get managed better. I know it is exausting going to all the doctors physicians but don't give up on getting better management for your pain issues. We've just got to get these things managed so we can do better. hang in there my lovey. I don't know when I will get the tests results back. Things will become clear, eventually, so am not fretting about that, just concentrating on doing my best, and yes, I do take care of myself and rest most night.

    Faith! I was cleaning the house today, whilst singing along to your ditties (4?). Makes me want to buy them all, but after xmas...trying to behave. If you cross the pond and are not toooo loaded up, perhaps I will then put an order, to minimise shipping if you come on over to ours. How are those plans developping anyhow?

    Arnie, hope you are getting some comfort for all your aches and aren't too run off your feet, in the grandma departement! xx to your dear suffering dd.

    got to get dinner sorted.

    take care, everybody! and I do mean everybody..just to frightened of missing anyone's name out, so don't dare do the list.

     ((((peeeeachy hugs to all bunnies!))))

    My passport just arrived in the mail the other day. So I started thinking about this Europe possibility..... very delicate, didn't want to pester the gal, but hadn't heard from her in the couple weeks, since right before Christmas.

    JUST NOW!!!! JUST NOW!!!!! Got a VERY encouraging email!!!!!!!!!

    Too soon to get COMPLETELY excited, so I'm just getting nearly, totally excited.

    Think some more gooooooood thoughts on all this mystery excitement. Can't wait to bore you with every possible detail. Spring time!!!!!

    Hoping, hoping, hoping!!!!!

    Wouldn't that be the most amazing thing, if I could figure out how to find our Shiny??????

    Vivvvvvvy girl of tomorrow.

    Hugs dearest.

    The LE is such a constant & complete nag. My worst area is across my chest itself & so far my arm is mostly OK-ish. But it's a constant kick in the head.

    Yesterday I did not go to the Zumba beginners class, because the week before I was in such pain that night.... ok by the next morning, but am listening to what my body likes and what it doesn't tolerate. It was such a maddening thing -- since I LOVE the music and the class was so much fun. SO UNFAIR to make it thru the cancer and now have life-long issues as a result of the treatment/surgery.

    ARGGGGGGGGGGGH. Come over to the LE threads. Particularly the one, nearly always at the top with the GRRRRRRRRRR in the heading.

    Can't believe about your own family member, but having a similar story, I guess I understand completely. I truly make an effort to lower all of my expectations and just appreciate what I can appreciate between my own husband and my own self.

    xx00xx00xx00xx

    Please, start to work on my 'down-under' tour -- now that I have my passport, I might as well be using it.......... speaking of which, what about my Canadian bunnies??? Surely you know some early childhood educators somewhere in your local vicinity??

    Vivvy, my sister does the same thing. She has to fly in and then she acts like the queen. I have never, ever seen her pick up a dish or serve a meal. Even in her own house when I visit!!! She orders in almost every dinner/supper!

    ohh Coonie girl. My sister would never be caught dead doing every row of Walmart.. but you and I .. we would have a total hoot! Followed by coffee and ..a wee little something sweet perhaps, as a treat. DH just back from his weekly trip to Italy. Good dinner, planning to relax with a big rug,(blanket), a big bear (dh) with my 2 babes on top (2xkittens) and with a bit of luck have my screaming feet smushed by said "bear". Ahh Fridays. Got to love them!

    Faith come now.. you best make sure you have some UK dates..

     xx and hugs to Barbe and all the bunnies too!

    Hello Dusty Buns. 

    It's nice to get little tidbits of news from everyone.  You gals in Australia sure have been having a terrible time of it in some areas.  The weather seems to be getting crazy all over the world.

    Vivy, I had no idea you are dealing with LE issues.  I have it too and let me tell you there are more days than I care to admit that I find it very overwhelming to deal with.  I think often times others (family, friends,Drs. etc) figure it's no big deal and why don't we just get on with things.  But dealing with LE is not as easy as simply getting on with things.  And it sure puts a crimp into doing housework.

    Shiny, when will you be hearing back about your scans?  Waiting is so difficult but I suppose with your kiddos you barely have time to 'wait'. 

    Gentle hugs Dusty Buns.

    Don't forget to take a break.

    Ooooh, will it be a SuperWalmart Sharon!!?!?!?!? Those are wonderful!! We moved to Alliston because it has one. We had just gotten one in Barrie and hated to lose the convenience. We do our groceries there. The produce turns over very quickly so it is always the best.
