    Sitting here eating a scone, jam and cream - yumm. Took me hours to do the shopping, I've been all over the place. Got a knee brace to take away so I can walk - hope it works, got Super Krill Oil as you only have to take 1 a day and I don't want to take my liquid fish oil seeing it's supposed  to be refrigerated all the time. Got caltrate plus too, so now I've got all of my supplements/prescriptions to go away with. They'll weigh my suitcase down. I did get a slinky top that I can wear if we go out at night - nice and cheap. Now I can relax and decide what to cook for dinner - quiche, chips and salad or roast chicken. We had chips last night, but if I do the quiche DH can have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

    Nice to see you again Nancy!!!

    Sue

    No Susie - it is scheduled for Tues next week.  I already had 2 calls from the hospital today.  The procedure is around $3K but don't know if just the surgery bill or includes the anesthesiologist, surgery room, etc.  But no worries because the insurance is paying for it in full.

    My husband couldn't understand why they are going to put me out and I told him because it is very painful so they have to.  DH then replied "did you tell the doctor how hard it is to put you out?"  Me "yes"  DH "did you tell her about your colonoscopy?"  Me "yes"  (They couldn't put me in twilight sleep and I was awake throughout the procedures screaming at the doctor).

    The last trip to the ER - I got 5 shots of dilaudin (synthetic morphine) and was stone cold somber - they couldn't even get me looped.  So this is always a concern of mine.

    I'll be thinking of you on Tuesday - hope the results are good and something they can fix for your DH's sake (and yours of course).

    Just been reading some of the comments on that review site - sickening!!! Some people are surely on a vendetta.

    Susie - that is where I just was!  OK, did I get this right?  You can write a review with a username already in the system?  There are two Greta's?  I am beginning to think I have lost my mind!

    What sucks about this thread not being in the Active Topics is that I have to continue to go back to Favorites to find out if someone has responded.  I do like flying under the wire right now as the heat in the kitchen is melting some of us.

    Jancie, are you a redhead?  Just curious -- redheads are apparently "a tough knockout."

    Ann - no I am a natural blonde - or at least I was before chemo.  My hair came back a mousy gray/brown color so now I am a dyed blonde!

    My body likes drugs.  I can totally function on pain meds, etc. and I have developed a resistance to Lortabs so they put me on percocet.  Extended Release morphine didn't even bother me until the stupid doctor told me to take 6 a day and then I ended up stoned by the 2nd day because of all of the morphine in my body.  It takes a lot of narcotics to put me under whereas 2 glasses of wine and I become very silly.

    Just been fishing in drawers looking for our adaptor plug for the UK - looks like DH left it there last time - I can't find it. I bought a european one today - looks like i'll have to go and get a new UK one - sigh. I did clean out his sock and underpant drawer - lots of old socks - anyone want to make a few puppets?

    I also found the socks you wear for long flights, that I bought him last time. I found a little bag with some flight socks in it that must have been given to one of us on a flight - I can wear them or dig out my after surgery ones I kept. I got my Wallace tartan scarf out, ready to pack so I can wave it at the Wallace monument in Scotland :)

    I'm trying out the knee brace - it has magnets in it - feels ok so far.

    I've decided on the quiche for dinner - less work for me - it's a store bought one, but gourmet - pumpkin and feta and toally delicious - cost a fortune but worth it. Hey bananas are still sky high here - I bought 4 or 5 - cost $13!!!

    Are you a Wallace? I think it's my great great grandmother who was a Wallace. My great grandmther's first name was Wallace and so is my middle name. Keeping it alive in the family

    I think that's where some of my toughness comes from..

    I miss all kinds of god stuff when I go to bed early!



    Nancy, welcome! It is always good to have new members with friendly faces join us! I don't eat brussels sprouts (hate the way they smell), but I like chicken livers (other gross food!). And I am a beet lover, except hot with that syrup stuff. Love your kitty avatar...we have two, and they pout when we go away. They love Auntie Paula (their sitter), but my little boy Forrest hates disruption so much that he gets an eye infection when we go away for more than a day or two.



    Wow, Jancie, somehow we should figure out how to combine our drug metabolisms ... I am an incredibly cheap date! They have to give me less anesthesia than recommended for my body mass because I metabolize it so efficiently that they have had difficulties getting me back. I spent 45 minutes in recovery after my first lumpectomy while they were trying to wake me up. DH, who is rather overprotective anyway, is all wound up over my upcoming DIEP... He is insisting that he will have a chat with the anesthesiologist beforehand.



    Gosh, it must be difficult for you to get pain relief, then! Have they found something that works well, or do you just have to take a lot of whatever?



    Athena, I think it is for the best that we're off the leader board ... It makes us less of a target. I don't like it either (it smacks of semi-suppression to me, but I'm on a short fuse these days so I can't tell how I really feel about some stuff). All in all, I must agree with those who think maintaining a low profile will lower the temperature. Not that I am familiar with keeping a low profile...a 6'1" extrovert is not exactly nondescript.



    Off to wrestle with reformatting the hard drive on my computer. DH is out for the day, so that makes it SOOOOOOO much easier!

    Good Morning Peeps!

    Going to be another hot one today .. hopefully, we'll get some rain.

    Ann .. I'm a redhead and I have trouble getting knocked out too.  Was in the hospital last year for pain in my shoulder and I had a shot of morphine, demerol, percocet and steroid injection, and nothing touched the pain.  I finally gave up on getting help for the pain and checked myself out. 

    Well the gods, oops I mean dogs, want to be fed.

    Hope everyone has a great day,

    Bren

    Hello all you folks who stay up late, and good morning, from Coooooool western MA.  For now.

    Just to go back, I think it's a good thing the Mods have put the "non treatment" threads which are very active NOT on the "Active List" - makes it easier for new women to find the "treatment" threads. After watching "greta" romp on the other site, my appreciation for the Mods has gone up, big time!  Think it's going to be so much better when BCO only allows one name per account.

    thanks again, "good" greta, it was fun!

    Rosemary - yes, I was born a Wallace - my father's name was William. I claimed William Wallace (aka Braveheart) as my ancestor when I was 9. Turns out we're descendant from Irish Wallaces though. 3 Wallace brothers from Ireland (county Antrim) who were in the 65th Regiment of the Foot came to Oz to guard convicts, but were sent to NZ to fight in the Maori wars in 1846 and ended up settling there. I'm descendant from one of them. I've been on a tour of the graves of my great x 3, great x 2, great grandparents and grand parents over there. I did it by myself and was very moved to visit them. I'm luck inthat a lady in NZ wrote the history of the Wallace family, otherwise I would never have known all of it - our family tree from those 3 brothers is 67 pages long.

    Anyone want some spare socks before I throw them out :)

    This isn't really a non-sequitir, though it looks like one.  Hahahaha.  I read some travel tips once, and they suggested taking clothes that you'd planned to get rid of on your trip.  Once at your destination, wear the clothes and then throw them out or wash & donate them rather than carry them back home.  More room for souvenirs!

    3 pages since last nite.. wow.

    a couple comments: "I come from a family of rebels, intellectuals, politicians and trailblazers on both sides"  - Athena, that explains a lot.

    and pumpkin and feta quiche susieq 58  - are you nuts?  that sounds super unusual.  I have an incredible Australian cookbook (packed in the basement somewhere) that had such unique recipes. I love it.  Totally different food influences.. lots of Greek, Indonesian and Indian influences.

    Apple - The quiche was nice, we've had it before. I don't make it from scratch. Costs me about $16 I think. They do a Quiche Lorraine too but I felt like a change. It's some gourmet brand sold fresh not frozen and only available at my fruit and veg store. DH wasn't impressed as he hadn't had lunch and probably wanted something more substantial - he ate the lot though.

    Good morning ladies.  Lazy day here today.  My Ray of Sunshine is visiting with his daughter today.  They are going to the Casa Loma and I've been there many times.  My walking is not perfect and I couldn't take all the stairs, so am staying put.

    Cherryl and Athena, thank you.  I don't like being made fun of, especially when I'm not making fun of anyone.  

    That review site has turned into a hoot!  I think there are multiple Gretas and a few others.  If one can register with an ID hat is already registered, there is a major flaw in the programming and it loses all credibility.  Someone is talking about hacking on that site.  Let me guess who they're gonna blame!
