Bonfire of the Goddesses

Gina - It is never too early in the day to throw something in the fire.
-
I am still sick so Jo you are the queen of food around here can you whip me up some comfort food that I can at least look at since I can't seem to eat anything????????????
-
Sherry - Hope this helps with the tummy. Sorry you are still so sick - get better real soon.
-
Jo thanks for the food, dr called me in something else for the diarrhea so hopefully it will kick in.
-
Thanks Jo! Let's add this too -
I'm outside the building today talking to an employee (didn't want any ears around) the receptionist opens the back door and says "it's your doctor's office on the phone." I have no scheduled appts so of course I start to panic. I pick up the phone - it's my eye doctor's office reminding me to pick up my DD contacts.....
Again, no concept....and thank goodness it was only the eye doctor.
-
Here comes left over steroids, compazine, zofran, phazime, prilosec and all the other stomach ailment remedies. YUK Goodbye!
-
I am throughing in the Kaopectate, but I am keeping the Zofran and the lomotil as both of those worked miracles on me. May need them some other time. The bug is finally over. I am eating very lightly today. Hopefully back to normal food tomorrow.
-
Sherry - So glad the medicines are working for you and you are almost back to normal. May have to whip up some good food tomorrow.
-
Sherry, Shall we celebrate normal poop? YEAHHHHHHHHHHH
-
lost my post now what did I say
VR congratulations on fledgling(sic?) three birds at once, Is the nest empty? First thing I think of you must have been really busy when they were young. LOL
Sagina let them sizzle and enjoy some normalcy. You've earned your peace.
Jeese for all the misspellings in that one post you'd think I was drinking. By the way what time is it?

sas-schatzi-yes we shall!!!!!!!

I need to throw some anger in. I'm really ticked off that I let myself get talked into this last round of surgery. I knew I didn't want to, I knew I was only just starting to feel like I was human again, I said I was worried about being able to handle it since I have no reserve, "oh this will be nothing you will be fine." Why do I listen to the BS the docs and nurses tell me? Sure its fine, if you're the one seeing someone in clinic and then going about your merry way and not having to live in my shoes. So, I'm made at myself for getting talked into it. And really mad and wishing bodily harm on a few people. Not healthy, so, putting the anger on the fire. It better burn hot with lots of sparks so I can remember it and keep the anger from coming back
-
kmmd~ me too same thing. I had chemo first then surgery then rads. When I saw my MO before my last consultation with the BS my MO said to tell him to take the medi port out while I was under. He talked me out of it - somehow - now I have to have the procedure done July 20....in his office.....yukie....and so anxious about it....burn baby burn.
-
Jo, I was delighed to find this thread today!!! What a simply MARVELOUS discussion, and I am just now getting to the point where I am ready to toss stuff in! The wigs are going to be donated to our local cancer society for others in need, so I won't toss them on here!
kmmd and sagina, I think I have burned up a lot of my anger in the past 2 weeks - took 2 weeks of vacation to do that. I am sure I still have some hanging around, but will try to get onto the fire as soon as I find it! What a wonderful idea!
I haven't read all the previous pages, but will catch up with all you ladies eventually.
Hugs to all, Linda

Here is a start:
-
Linda - Welcome to the bonfire. If you have time to go back and do some reading, you will find that we do tend to get off topic a bit. That is okay too. We do have some fun along the way with virtual roasted marshmallows and other sorts of good stuff. Come as often as you like. You don't necessarily have to come to throw something or someone in - hang around and see where this "magical bonfire" takes you.
-
It is a great thread. It really does help. I'm much less angry after burning things out this morning, I really needed it.
-
kmmd - Just so you know, if there is a person or people you need to throw in - you can do that to. Early on, I threw in my RO and his bitchy nurse. That felt really good.
-
Sagina check with your insurance, they may not cover the office procedure. Besides sterile conditions..
KMMD hope that anger says in there. I had to throw in my old boss twice, not sure if she's still in there or not.
-
I am going to throw in the receptionist at my dr's office...bless her. I know she meant no harm but honestly....when you call and tell me "your dr. left a note for you to check in with your s[pecialist re. your blood results " (she was talking heart surgeon but still!), my heart starts to pound. I told her I was not seeing the heart specialist for a year so she had better book me an appointment with my GP..she hen went on to talk about the other blood results which were in (which I had already gotten) and when I said 'oh. those are the results that were done right aftermy heart attack'.I did not need her to say "oh MY GOD!"...really? You work at a doctor's office....anyhow..booked an appointemtn for tuesday and said ; you have me quite concerned'....then i called back and made it for monday and cancelled my cardiac exercise class because I thought this might be more important.....nope..not really...cholesterol is 2.7....they would like it down to 2 since Ihave had a heart attack...but honestly...could they not have just told me that on the phone? why would i need to see my specialist about that? It has come down in 3 months...a whole point....could you not just tell meon th ephone and then call the pharmacy since they were going to call it in anyhow???? five days of my alking myself down for nothing!!!
good gravy!

I want to throw in fear of recurrence. I am going to try to imagine it going to ashes in the bonfire every time it comes up in my head.
-
Merilee - Good place for that thought. Although that fear never goes away completely, it does get buried in the back of your mind eventually. I am 10 months out from diagnosis and I really don't think about it much these days.
-
I am throwing in the stomach bug and everything that goes along with it now that I am feeling better.
-
I need to throw in some emotional baggage that im carrying around....im goin away for the weekend and i need a clear head soooooooo in you go all the things that are running through this brain to goooooooooo gooooooooooo goooooo.burn away....
-
I am going to throw in my DH's nerologist. The lady is an idiot. neither one of us were thinking very highly of her and then 2 weeks ago I called her to call in a script for my DH and wanted a specific med that came in generic form that we know does work for him. The generic one is $10. Today I see a charge from the pharmacy for $50 and it is for the same type of medication that does not come in generic. I was very specific as to what i wanted. So it took her two weeks to call in the wrong script. Needless to say we will not be going back to see again. In she goes!!!!!
