After shovelling for hours I definitely need the Theragesic. Went out for late breakfast with DS and stopped picked up some. Put some on earlier and it felt good. Forgot you said to repeat 30 mins later but will put some more on when I go upstairs for bed soon.
Have a good night everyone.
-
Good night, stay snug and warm.
-
Hello all - hope you've all been getting on ok. Patoo - I hope you are feeling better (and happier) soon. Snuggle up warmly tonight - it's really cold!!! Night all.
-
Hi Ainm, nice to see you here. I'm achy still so heating pads have been added to my advil for tonight. But, it could certainly be worse so I'm not really complaining.
Night all.
-
Do you have a nice soaking tub, Patoo? I spend lots of time in mine.
-
Wow, we've been quiet for a few days.
No, Meece, no soaking tub. My MBR has it's own bath but only a shower. I was never a tub person so it's okay. And, the other bathroom next to my DS BR has a tub but never, ever, would I even think of getting in that - not behind him if you know what I mean (yuck!)
-
I love a bubble bath, and wonder how I dealt with not having a master tub for so many years. I always got the first bath after I cleaned the kids bathroom each week. After that it was a war zone.
-
Hi all - how about some nice blueberry muffins for supper tonight??
Snuggle up warmly - there's a real storm blowing!!!
((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))
-
We're having chicken noodle soup & biscuits! Last night was beef stew-I love winter time cooking.
-
Mmmm Now I can't decide whose house I will be at for dinner!
-
Well, it's a little late but my DD just cooked up a batch of homemade sloppy joes with sweet potato fries. The house smells wonderful.
Eph3_12, my DH and DS try to get to Ashland every year for the Shakespeare festival, a couple of times we all went for a family vacation. We love that part of Oregon!
-
Mmm all the dinners and muffins sound good, guess I am feeling better.

dutchgirl6-come with them this year! Keep me posted & I'll PM you my phone # if you think you will get here. Hey it's your 1 yr anniversary of being a BCO member!
-
Oh my goodness, it has been a year hasn't it! Thanks for reminding me. I had my lumpectomy on Feb. 1, and had some concerns about something, so I googled a question and BCO was one of the hits. I never looked back, this site has kept me sane through all this insanity. Thank you BCO sisters.
JeanH, I'm glad that you are feeling better. All the food that we serve here tastes great, even when chemo makes your tastebuds go south.
Joni, I will definitely keep you posted if we do make the trip this year.
-
OMG you have made this nightmare a little easier!
I feel like I woke up in a different country and don't know the language since I was diagnosed in Nov. 2010. -
Welcome, Cherokee. IF you don't see it, you can always ask someone. I threw an imaging tech with some of my abreviations because she wasn't expecting to see it from a patient. But they only give you som much space for your Hx, huh?
-
Welcome cherokee807. Having information the docs don't readily give out does make the journey a little, only a little, less stressful. As Meece says, ask questions and browse the threads. You will get loads of information and tips.
dutchgirl, any of those sweet potato fries left - I just love them. (sloppy joes are yummy too)
-
Sorry patoo, they're all gone. I'll let you know next time they're on the menu. I love them too.
-
So excited, ate real food for dinner tonight....DH cooked for me. Steak, green beans and mushrooms....
Jean -
mmmm
-
That's always a nice feeling.
-
Sleepy and it's not even 9pm. Oh well, guess every once in a while it's okay to bed down early.
Night friends.
-
Took the refresher course.
-
I don't even know what sleep schedule I am on right now. I know it isn't the one that allows sleeping in, with medical appointments and surgery today. Tomorrow...we will sleep in tomorrow.
-
How's it going Meece?
-
Hope everyone is doing well.
Night friends.
-
-

-
