cluck cluck pass!!

I ofteb say, 'do you want the trite/ polite/ conventional answer or the truth?'. And its quite funny the replies you get. You know it's someone who understands who says 'tell my the truth'.
If you give me a puff I might just keep it awhile as its not a great day pain wise.
Cluck cluck I had better pass it on.

I wonder if we need to change our terminology when someone asks us how we are? It can be so frustrating to have someone "envy" us our need to sleep when all we want to do is function normally and not feel so darn drained. Perhaps instead of saying we are tired and need to nap we should be saying " the fatigue is really debilitating and frustrating while undergoing the chemo/radiation" Do you think we'd get a more understanding response? Just a thought....
I hate when someone tells me I look good when I feel so clucking awful after chemo..drives me nuts. Haven't thought of a good answer for that one yet.

your'e damned no matter what you say, if you just say you are fine to avoid the conversation, then people think "oh, BC must not be too bad if she's feeling so good". My step MIL, who I have mentioned before on here as being a total PITA, came to my house the Sunday after Easter for our Easter Dinner with my DH's side of the family. She was asked to bring a veggie tray, we made all the food for the main meal...I was 2 wks into rads at this point and feeling it. She walked in and the first thing out of her mouth when I asked her how she was, was "TIRED! I have done so much this morning already"...oh BOO HOO! I've cooked an entire meal for 20 and you are going to bitch because you had to get up to take cookies to church?!? She's only in her 50's, it's not like she's old and decrepit! She goes and lifts weights at the gym for goodness sake! Sorry for the rant...I really get going when I think of her...
-
I find that my MIL is very patronizing to my SE...It's like she keeps expecting me to be ill, and she's so full of praise it seems false...and then when I'm actually tired (like on Easter) she behaves as if I'm acting to get her out of the house. I did the meal too, all she did was a veggie tray. What is it about veggie trays and MIL..they always act like it's a draining experience to put on together!
Clucked if I do. Clucked if I don't.

Alyson: you go ahead and bogart that asparagus as long as you need it!
Emily: I had a "lovely" chemo glow....until the third or forth day, then I just looked green. I wasn't as nice. When someone mentioned how great I looked or that it wasn't a big deal if I was in a bad mood, I would go into gorey detail as to exactly what it entails to have a mastectomy and they would look at me in horror-and shut up. I would especially do this when they said how lucky I was to get a free "boob job". Bagawk!

getting my wisdom teeth out july 8th! yay! met with the oral surgeon today. he doesn't want to touch them till after rads, but yay! i really like him and he made me feel less terrified
i want these babies out! come to find out, i have the one that is rotted, but the xray confirmed there is decay in all 4! then he went over the foods to eat afterwards,,, i told him it sounded just like my chemo diet!
-
oh those bad wisdom teether were a "gift" from chemo.
not a problem or cavity before chemo. now, "bam!"
-
I'd look at them as a gift too! Chances are they were going to go through decay anyway. Wisdom teeth left in and impacted can cause severe issues in your overall health. Just look at it as you're getting all the negative clucking crap out of the way so you can move forward!
-
Bad news, hdangel - no tooth fairy visit? Say it ain't so!
-
Oh wait, maybe it wasn't the chemo that messed up your wisdom teeth!
Sorry, I know it really isn't funny. But...obviously you appreciate humor or you wouldn't be here, right?
-
oh i most definitely appreciate humor!!! i love the comic sketches!
shit, we were joking with eachother at the dentist office yesterday. my oral surgeon even admitted HE hates going to the dentist! lol
Girlfriday, i like what you said, get all the negative crap out of me so i can move forward!
I bet my insurance company is hating me this year, cause i am using the hell out of it! 6 years of paying into it, and only using it when i absolutely had to. now this year i'm getting my full use out of it! lol!
-
Where's that bizarro dentist located? I'd like to sign up with that guy!
-
hey you all are right! i should still get something from the tooth fairy for my 4 wisdom teeth!
here's my wish list:
1. my medical bills paid off
2. my other bills (including house) paid off
3. a vacation for my husband and i to a balmy place
4. enough money to finish finding a cure to this wretched disease!!
there. that's 4 for 4 teeth!!!
-
May be the tooth fairy has the cure!!
-
That's PERFECT Alyson! luv it.

Hi everyone, haven't been on here for ages but will more often now. You all really cheer me up. I've started to share all my symptoms with the nice caring people. Works really well - go into full details about rotting teeth and infected gums (i had to have all teeth out 5 weeks ago). Then just suck the food on the veggie tray. Slowly sip one glass of red wine and then share the details of the toxic blister and why the need to sit on a rubber ring. I call it nesting. Have fun ladies.

((((BernieEllen)))): Big hugs to you!

So I was wondering if I should have called and cancelled my chemo and BS follow up appolntments for next week since the rapture is tomorrow? Has there been any back front meeting about it? Do you think we'll catch the cure guy by then?
-
Who needs the cure guy if the rapture is tomorrow.
