    Barely, we went to church yesterday, came home, went to a friend's house for about an hour, came home, went to another friend's house until 9:00 then came home and crashed.  DH noted that the only down time we had this weekend was when we went to bed.

    I took a Tylenol PM last night as well as my regular meds, and I had such a difficult time waking up this morning.

    Phew - busy weekend - hope you have a relaxing week, Meece.

    Sorry to hear your shoulder hurts and is hindering your painting, Linda.

    When I woke up this morning, I felt some pressure behind my eye so I was afraid I might be getting a migraine - which would make this day just perfect since it is already the heavy day of my period and I have a biopsy, DD's dr appt, and my class tonight to get through.  Anyway- so I let myself get some extra sleep this morning in case it might stave off a migraine and had the weirdest dream. Whenever I sleep in the morning like that I have weird dreams.  My subconcious is worried about my not having enough time to get DD's appt, so I had a dream that made no sense.  I went to NH this morning before my biopsy.  Then while I was there, I noticed that it was 11:45 (when I am supposed to be at my biopsy) so I started to rush to my appt.  From New Hampshire.  WTH?  It takes hours to get to/from NH from here.  AND somehow my brain thought it would make sense that even though I was in NH and had to pick DD up after school to bring her to her appt in CT, that I would see her not in school while I was in NH.  And to make things more messed up, my brain made me have difficulty calling DD on my cell to ask her why she wasn't in class.  THEN to try to explain why I couldn't call DD, my brain decided to make it be because the phone I was using wasn't mine - I must have picked up someone else's as I was trying to leave - whereever I was in NH.  I have issues. LOL

    I also have wierd dreams when I sleep into the morning (Which is very rare).  This morning DH had the news on, and I think some of the news seeped in to my dreams.  There were some singers on when I finally woke up, but I had just had a dream that I had gone to a neighbors house from my childhood.  They were preparing for a wedding, and the soloist was a famous singer, amazingly singing the same song as what was on tv.

    I also dreamed about falling off a boat in the ocean and getting fleas from a stingray! (The falling off the boat must have been from that Disney Cruise this week).

    Anyway, good luck with your Bx today.  I will warn you, the more active you are on that side after the BX, the larger the bruise.  Use the ice packs as they direct.

    Fleas from a stingray?  LOL 

    Phew - made it back from the biopsy - with time to get gas and milk - and treats.  Little mini donuts.  Mmmm.  

    My ice packs aren't cold anymore already.  And they put such a huge lump of gauze on the biopsy site, I don't think the cold would penetrate it!  I put one in the fridge to re-chill for later.  Need to take some ibuprofen - to keep ahead of the pain... I know it's coming. 

    Thanks ladies for your support - and listening to me whine.   :)  ♥

    Chris - I am thinking of you and hoping you can stay ahead of the pain - I know I find donuts very helpful too :)

    Sheila - is your dad still improving?

    Linda - what color are you painting?

    Deb - sorry about DD's kitty.

     Meece - what a sucky weekend!  Obviously you can get through anything :)  I had to laugh when you said it was Costco lasagne.

    Blondie - hope you are doing well.

    So where have I been?  Not someplace fun.  I started having really bad shoulder pain, then my neck and then went to the doctor.  I have a pinched nerve (not on BC side) that is causing all this hell so I am trying to stay off the computer.  Besides, they have me on steroids and I am too busy EATING everything in sight to do anything else :)  I don't mean to ignore - I am reading, just not writing too much right now.  It will be fine.

    Hello TOL buddies.  My Dad will be going home tomorrow, he has to accept the fact that he has to use the wheelchair when he ventures outside his apartment.  Let's see how long that will last.  I went and did a little groc shopping for him and when I got in his apartment the wheelchair was not there.  They said it would be there Monday afternoon.  HMMM. 

    chris, let us know as soon as you get the results.

    My friend who lives upstairs is in the ER with abnormal EKG and will be there overnight if she improves she'll come home otherwise she will be transferred to NYC Hospital.

    chris...Monday is a good day to have tests no weekend falling in between. I hope you get the answer soon.

    I'm sick of the weather too.  The numbers say it's getting warmer, but it feels like it's getting colder to me!  Hate the wind.

    Didn't know how to get home - AGAIN - tonight.  I am such a loser!  Followed someone and luckily ended up on the same road as last time.  I was afraid I was following someone who lived in town and was going to end up on backroads.  This time I brought the gps with me.  Freaking thing wouldn't talk to me.  I knew how to get to the school, so I didn't need it, but I was testing it.  It FAILED.  I got there early and sat in the parking lot going through every menu.  Found voice - to set the language.  It said there was no language.  What?!  I've used the damned thing before and it wouldn't shut up!  I hit restore to original settings and nothing happened.  SO, on the way home when I wasn't sure where I was going to end up, I plugged it in.  It starts talking to me in God knows what language- sounded like a combination of French and German.  Finally, I unplugged it and threw it into the seat next to me.  Luckily the highway ramp was right there at that point. 

    I get home and plug it in.  I look up the voice language.  Afrikaans!  No wonder I had no idea what language it was!  Must have needed to turn it off and on again to do the restore to get languages reloaded for voice - or something?  I hate that thing.   THIS is why I don't use it! 

    Boob is starting to get sore. They must have used a lot of novacaine.  Either that or the ibuprofen has been working wonders.  Maybe a combo.  Biopsy guy said I could call the dr's office tomorrow and they might have the results.  Last time it took 3 days.  Waiting, waiting.

    Deb - glad your dad is going home tomorrow - hope the wheelchair gets there and that he uses it!  So frustrating when they don't cooperate. 

    Sheila - I'm glad that your dad is going to extended care and that they didn't try to send him home.  I hope your friend is okay.

    Hope you are healing, Sandy.

    Diane - LOL busy eating everything in sight.  Not funny, I know, but it sounds funny.  Hope your pinched nerve heals up fast!

    ((((((((((((Everyone))))))))))))))

    I know several people with GPS ( DH and I never go any where out of the Harbor area so don't need one).  Of those that have talked about the ones who seem to like them most are the guys that will never ask of directions.

    Yay for plans to go to Hawaii!  And congrats on the 7lbs.  I need to follow your lead.  Toddler portions sounds about right.

    When I saw that I had written War and Peace, I hoped you would think it was funny too.  Oftentimes things I think are hysterical are only mildly amusing to other people.  I'm weird.  Tongue out

    I have a friend who is a pharmaceutical rep and she's on the road all day.  She has been sent in more circles...she's on her 2nd gps now - trying to find one that doesn't send her in circles!  Funny that the people who like them are the guys who don't ask directions!

    I wonder when I stop Arimidex if I will loose weight and my cholesterol will go down, that would be nice.  I will have repeated BW done Saturday to check on my BUN, Cloride and Calcium all were a few points above normal.

    GPS's Recalculating, LOL

    YAY on the losing weight, wish I could!!

    I love my GPS.  I bought one when my precious son (LOL or LS as Sheila likes to call him) Went to a vocational school.  He has friends that live far away and in places I have never been to.  Places with traffic lights!  LOL!  So, after getting lost many times and him not answering his cell phone because the battery died, I bought a GPS that talks to me. 

    Good Morning.

    MCAS today and tomorrow.  My youngest is losing sleep over it.  I told him not to worry, they don't matter.

    When we went to Hawaii to visit DS years ago, he loaned us his Tom-Tom GPS.  We had never used one and wanted to see the Arizona Memorial.  I typed it in, and it autofilled "ARIZONA MEMORIAL F".  Looked good to me so we turned it on and set out.  We followed every single direction, but it didn't feel right.  We were not near the water, in fact you couldn't see any water at all.  I was getting nervous as it said we were close, and when we "reached our destination" we were at an industrial park miles from the shore!  I checked to make sure the instructions were for the Arizona Memorial, and they were...the Arizona Memorial Foundation.  We got out a map and found the actual memorial.

    I also meant to say I am glad you came through your bx well, Chris/  I went to work the following day wearing a sports bra, like they told me to.  When I got home half my breast was black!  Bruised Black!  I don't know what caused it but I figured it was because I moved my arm a lot and it rubbed the bra over the bx site all day.

    Ouch - bruised black - sounds painful.  Thanks for the heads up.  I'm very good at doing nothing, so taking it easy won't be a problem - lol.  I won't be surprised if I end up with a nice bruise - even with the novocaine, I could feel the pressure.  It felt like they punched me when the "biopsy needle" went in.  (have no idea what they called it)  Didn't really hurt, but I imagine it must have done a little damage.  Now to wait for the call.  I think I will leave the nurse a message telling her the biopsy guy(is he a dr? I'll have to check my paperwork) said that she could get the results today. That seems fast to me, but maybe they're not busy.

    Linda - poor kid.  Even though I wish my kids took their work more seriously, I don't want them losing sleep over it.  Hope he is able to relax.

    I had three people in on my last Bx, and one was a doctor.  My onc is really good about calling me with good news as soon as she gets them.

    Yup - one was a radiologist - an MD so I suppose I should stop calling him biopsy guy and call him Dr. lol

    I hope the biopsy site heals well and I can sleep on it without discomfort.  I don't have any good sides left!  Can't sleep on my stomach because it hurts my back.  Sleeping on my back hurts my back.  I don't sleep much on my right side because I don't want to lie on the damaged lymph nodes and now my left side has something too.  I'm afraid I'm going to have to start sleeping hanging upside down like a bat!
