INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

I'm up. Dang insomnia. Went to sleep at 9:30 then BAM. 3AM and I am awake.

Are you still there. I am just back.

Speaking of chickens Sas, we call them chooks here, and mature women are sometimes referred to as, 'old chooks' as opposed to 'spring chickens' as in 'the old girl is no spring chicken.'

Sheila from Down Under where it is now 8:22pm Monday.

I have not gone to bed and this may be the reason I sleep late and just cannot do those 8AM appts.

I go to work at 4 pm so that helps. Our Ohio weather has gone from winter to summer with showers...I will be going from heat to air conditioning especially with these hot flashes. My diva cat fell asleep beside me and her brother went to bed without us. I have two tuxedo kitties and they are prancing for food again. They keep me busy and I try to make things for the breast cancer center like chemo caps, arm pillows and little crocheted bags to hold ice bags or padding in a bra. I guess I will try for bed onee more time! I have on the back ofmy business cards that each day is a gift from God. Prayers to all of you in your journey through this adventure in life.

Hey not-so-sleepy-heads lol, just stopping by to say HEY!   I am time zone challenged, I'm 7 hours ahead of home, waking up at 4am and falling face-first into my keyboard.  Better get back to work.  Sigh 26 pages already and I've not read one.

Sagina/Valgal- 34DDD here...7 nodes taken and my arm is sroe adn numb still inplaces. My radiologist told me last Monday hat that is normal and it may take up to a year to get it all back..breast is very sore and achy...figure it is scar tissue trying to fill in the whole. Was told I am healing just fine...but I hurt and can't wear wire bras anymore..and can't find any that aren't to fit me!

sas! SORRY I MISSED YOU ALL LAST NIGHT!!

 I actually had plans! woohoo! went to my best friends son's b-day party (he turned 9), it was alot of fun, even though my best friend and I sat there while one of the other girls kind of cornered us into listening her sob stories about her fiance. when the crying started with her, we sent her out for more beer. then when she came back at least we had some beer to drink while we listened to her!

stupid stupid shit this girl gets all wrapped up about.... seriously. but anyway, after they left, we had a wonderful time!!!! still up till about 3, but was hanging with the DH!!! will be on tonight i am sure!!

went to the chiropractor today, he said i was all "jammed up" he cracked my neck and my back and it is a little better, but not completely gone. going back tomorrow, tomorrow AFTERNOON that is! cause until rads, my butt is in a vicious cycle of 3 am bedtime, noon or 1 pm getting out of bed!!!!

well ladies, going to go catch up on the other threads, but most likely will be on MUCH LATER!!!

Heading to bed to sleep I hope...last night was a write off..makes a huge difference in the am...Night all. Hope to chat tomorrow..and not ina few hours:)..if you know what I mean!

I wonder if we just stayed up all night, and i mean all night, and through the next day, if we would end up going to bed at a decent time?????? i have thought about doing that. that or forcing myself to make an early appt when rads start. then I have to go to bed and get up at a decent time!!

topic for the evening (perhaps??)

i eat well. well enough i guess. when i make dinner i always try to have a veggie, carb, and protein.  but alot of times i feel like it's not enough. i think i feel that way because of alot of what i have read on this and other sites. about how your supposed to eat this and that and not eat this and that. i have pretty much been eating like i did before chemo (well, i only eat fast food when i really crave it now, like once every 2 weeks), and i was a very good healthy weight and healthy in the rest of my body besides the BC.

what are your thoughts on this? maybe i just guilt myself, like i do other things, cause like many other women, you can't help to think sometimes, that is was something I did, to cause this mess. i know in the deep parts of my head i didn't, but that emotional side rears its head sometimes and i feel that way.

well, i am off to make dinner, salmon, whole wheat pasta and mixed veggies!!!

will be back later!

I think I hear crickets chirping....lol. the board is quiet.

::: tapping my foot ::: Are you kids still awake in here?
