For Older People with Sense

I had breast infections three times in my right breast while nursing babies, once for each of the three of them.  Then I got cancer in my left breast. Twice.

Lost_Creek thanks for the tip.  I found where the abbreviations are.

Barbe me and my DH also have wondered about developing BC at an injury site. A couple of years ago I was in a car accident with my daughter and broke my ribs on the left side where I have BC.  And last year I ran into an old fashioned towel rack metal end and had a big bruise on my left breast.  I told my BS about it.  But he said that didn't cause it.  But  I think maybe all those things did play a part contrary to what he said.  There seems to be quite a few of us here that got BC after an injury. 

3jays, hoping this mean storm changes course before it gets to you!  You certainly don't need that on top of everything else!  Those thyroid meds are hard to adjust.  It took my daughter a few months to get hers right.

3jays, I hope both your meds and the weather start to cooperate with you!

Went to a WONDERFUL wedding last night. My son-in-law's brother got married. He's been living in Israel for about 6 years (parents are in the States) so we've gotten close to him during that tiime. I did a lot of dancing and boy am I feeling it now. Well, I'm not letting Femara or bc stand in the way of what I want to do.

One of the other brothers who lives in the States didn't have time off from college (some sort of unusual program) so he flew in yesterday morning and flew back home on a 5AM flight after the wedding. All that why? Because he loves his brother. The rest of the family that lives there came for 10 days.

We have a custom that dinners to honor the bride and groom are given for a week after the wedding. My daughter is hosting the ones for Sabbath so I'm helping her with that. I'm also taking her 2 older kids (6 1/2 and 3 1/2) for a few days so she can get more done. All this while I make 2 quiches, 2 casseroles and a cake or two. This is the kind of busy I like.

edited for typos. Again.

I'm in a big rush to get myself to bed to watch the 'new' season Grays Anatomy, starting in about 15 mins. I'm sure this new season will be well and truly over in your part of the world !! One of my favourite programs.....I thought they had forgotton us...it used to be very greatly 'hyped' for weeks in advance with the last 4 series, but not a teeny tiny mention this time, just saw 2 hours ago whilst browsing the listings that it was back. I do wish 'they' would inform me when my favourites will be back !!

Rain, rain, rain today. have been clearing out shelves and cupboards full of junk, stashed there 15-20 years ago. I am always convinced things will come in, but now its in the bin, after all that time shut in a cupboard I have to admit I will never use it !! I will have to have a bonfire I have so much. My bin men will refuse to take more than 1 bag per week ( unless of course Christmas is coming up, and all thru' December they get very chatty, and will take as much rubbish away as I can put out for them !! ) They can be as chatty as they like this year, I am stopping all tips.

G/children have got half the money from me they normally get since May when I decided to cut down.  I VERY rarely get thankyou notes from them, I'm ready for them if they suddenly decide to ring and ask after my health 3-4 days after their birthdays....but so far none of them have dared ( and I've cut down on 3 of them this year ) Sick of handing out cash to one and all !! No-one, well, only 2 of my children and g/children ever remember it's my birthday !!!!! 

Right TV is calling me

Isabella.

Thank God Nancy, Thanks for letting us know....

Isabella, I don't give out gifts unless I see the niece, nephew, or child in person. I've sent huge boxes home for Christmas to my step-daughter and her boyfriend and never heard a word. And of course, if they don't see us, they feel no need for Christmases or birthday gifts to us either!! I gotta see the whites of their eyes.....

I am with you Barbe.

GramE, so glad all is well. My BFF in MD said it was very freaky.

I am so fortunate that my DDs insist on their children writting Thank You note to everyone that geive them a gift or does something nice for them.  Even before they can write I would get pictures they drew about the gift.  I also get phone calls every week and FaceTime or Skype with them every once in a while.  Oldest GD likes to Skype when she gets done with her school work.  She is old enought to do it by herself and then she lets her 2 younger sisters talk too.  My sister sent Micah a stuffed bear and she was surprised to get a Thank You note from my DD#1.  I told her I did not know why she should be surprised and that was the normal for my girls.  I am truly blessed and I guess it pays to have been a mean mother.  At least I heard "Mom, you are so mean" a lot when they were growing up.   Now I don't thing they still think I was so mean after all.

I insisted my children write thank you notes also and DD still writes them.  DS, on the other hand, doesn't.  I do think females tend to keep up with this nicety more than males!

One of the tracks for Irene has it coming in over Charleston, and wasn't that the way Hugo came in?  That was the worst thing I've ever been through, weather wise, and I surely don't want to experience anything like that again.   I'll start stocking up on water and batteries so we'll have them if needed.  Also thinking of you gals in Florida and hoping you avoid this one too!

thank you ladies for all your lovingkindness towards me. so far, the storm cone has moved a little out to sea. we are going to get the beader bands, and wind, but much less than they predicted earlier... sorry; chrissy, your room was looking good. it now has 5 cases of water in the mifddle of it!( don't worry, we'll move it bf you get here!) AND we did get another battery operated fan , so if/when we lose electric, we'll have a breeze...we tend to lose electric at the drop of a hat, but they did a big redo after Wilma; so we might get a pleasant surprise!! if im not on, you'll know the electric is out. wifi won't work...

   as for the meds... the fools that manf. the thyroid med i was on, use acai plants as filler... a well known cause of hayfever! ad me, allergic to antihistimaimes. by oct. by the time i see the "real" docs.i'll have gotten the right ones. Not quick enuff for shell knob, im afrsaid, tho. found a compoounding pharmacy in Miami that makes synthetic meds that might work.. no fillers but get this tapioca white something instead of chemicals!!! and acidophilis as binders. heres hoping it works. for now, the dose has to be so low, im down for the count, most of the day..grrrr prayer works wonders, i'm hoping it will here..........3jays

   Leah; what a wonderful custom! my DH fsmily are Jewish. i thought i'd heard them all. is that just in Isreal; or because they're reformed???............anyway, i think its wonderful.. im irish, we only do that with funerals. how lovely to do it for a happy occasion!! i't sounds like they're very much loved, for his brother to come for a one day trip.  enjoy, but try not to overdo too much. the dancing sounds like it was a joy. im so happy bc didn't stop you, girl!!!.........3jays

3jays, I have a friend who went through the thyroid removal and was having a difficult time getting her meds regulated.  She went to  a new doc and she told her to never take generic thyroid if that is all the thyroid you are getting.  I guess if it's just low the generic isn't that big a deal but if the meds are your only source it is important to take a name brand that is better regulated.  Darla
