    I'm not freakin out anymore about my TM's.  After reading about what can cause abnormal readings I am convinced the fibroids in my uterus are causing it.  I just had to know why, I told my onc that I was tired of the waiting game and wanted scans.  She told me she had no problem ordering them for me.  She knows I am pro-active about this because of my Mom.

    I had a CT scan and vaginal US.  Showed uterine fibroids, small area of fatty part on one of the lobs of my liver cuz of cholesterol, that can also cause the CA27-29 to be slightly abnormal.  I also have degenerate of the osseous skeleton and enlarged unpathological axillary lympnodes shown bilateral.  In 2003 I had vaginal US and that showed 3 fibroids and they are unchanged according to the recent US.

    Deb..How and why they ordered vaginal US. I never had one. Do i need it?

    ducky....I was trimming my grapefruit plant (I't almost a tree now) and I was bitten by some bugs, all over my body, just came out from the shower. It still feels like they are crawling. It's 67 and humid.

    Linda...Are you back yet?

    Chris & Diane where are youuuuuuuuuuuuu??????????????????????

    Sandy...i hope you are feeling little better.

    In 2003 when I had my yearly, the PA-C could feel the fibroids upon the examination when she pressed on my lower abdomen will the fingers are up there.Surprised That is when she ordered the exam.  I was told they should go away with age after menopause, NOT!!! Still there with no change.

    I am here.  It went well.  No problems.  Did I tell you I didn't tell DH about the appointment?  He goes to every appointment with me and I wanted to start going alone.  He does not need to take time off from work for this.  So, I drove myself into Boston, a HUGE anxiety problem for me.....but I did it!  No alcohol involved.....just some lorazepam.  I'm so proud of myself.

    Still hate contractors, electricians, plumbers, flooring people.......

    Yay Linda!  I don't think I could find my way into or around Boston.

    Sorry to hear you were/are sick, Sandy!  Gees - you deserve a break!

    Migraine today - took 4 Excedrin migraines over the course of the day - now my stomach hurts - but the headache is gone (for now - hope it stays that way.)

    Left all my studying until today - dummy.  Didn't finish all the problems and wasn't sure how to do the last ones I was working on, but got 100 on the quiz anyway...  Better get back to it and figure it out.

    Headache is gone - thanks for asking.

    Hope the tile man does a good job today!

    Hope the Zometa is kind to you and you feel well for your meeting tomorrow, Sandy.  Hope Michael feels better.  Remind him he doesn't want to undo his hard work last summer.  One day at a time.  He can do this.  ((((((HUGS))))))) 

    Ordered senior pictures yesterday.  Extortion I tell you.  OMG they are so expensive!!!!  There isn't going to be any money left for college by the time she finishes senior year of high school!  I won't even tell you how much the packages are, but to add an 8x10 or 2 5x7's to a package would cost $56!  What the...?   I usually spent $60 on the whole package and I thought that was too much.

    Our annual band competition that we host is this Saturday - DD's last one.  (I'm going to cry.)  Weather looks iffy.  Local weather guys say chance for a shower or two.  I hope it doesn't rain at all.  Hoping all the rain moves out Friday.

    lol.  No.  He is a small Asian man.  I like him the best and since I'm hating all men, that's impressive.  He showed up on time, doesn't talk much, no loud music (or any for that matter) and gets straight to work.  Love him!

    Sandy, happy to hear you are feeling a little better,  hang in there.  I hope Michael figures school out and goes.  It doesn't matter if he does well, just go and get it over with. XOXO

    Have fun at the band competition.  Sad when they start wrapping things up and you no longer need to go.

    I am here, but far from often enough.  Between contractors, sub-contractors, shower prep, and searching for a place to live, I am wiped out!  It is really hard to find temporary housing that will take a dog. These are the times when I think it would be nice to be surrounded by family willing to help.

     After Saturday, I will have one thing off my plate. DDIL asked me how long the shower was going to take. I think about the time, care, and money that went into this and feel so insulted that she is planning her exit before she gets here.  She says she has about two hours tolerance.  I am wondering why she asked me to do it.  Maybe she could just have fun.

    Congratulations on the successful drive into Boston.  Even having grown up there, I find it daunting.  Here, where we are all passive/aggressive drivers, we lose the skills necessary to be a truly successful Boston driver.  Scares me to do it now.

    Two of DS''s best friends are secretly flying in as a surprise to him at the shower.  They are planning to stay with me.  They both really appreciate food, so I am looking forward to cooking for them.

    Ok, off to make a to-do list for DH.  He's not gonna be happy.  Why can't husbands see the mess we see?

    ((((Sand)))) 

    Did anyone read the article yesterday about how stress increases the aggression of cancer?

    BTW, I have nothing against asian men.  When I re read what I wrote, it sounded pathetic!  I like Asian men, actually all men ;) with the exception of the ones working in my house!

    LOL

    Diane - I hope DIL's short tolerance level is due to her being tired from being pregnant...  I hope the shower goes great, the guys love your cooking, and you find a great place that takes dogs soon!  I don't know why men don't see the mess.  Children don't seem to it either...  They're just great at creating it.

    Went for a "run" earlier.  I've been trying to do my loop and then walk the beginning of half a loop and finish "running" the rest.  Sun was hot, but I did it.  Stopped after the loop to guzzle OJ and water.  I think I'm on the dehydrated side lately because I'm trying to avoid soda so I'm not drinking as many fluids.  I don't really like water so I don't drink as much of it as I should - unless I've just exercised - then I drink gallons.

    DS's birthday today.  He's 15.  My babies are growing up.  He said he left this morning a 14 yr old and returned a 15 yr old.  He was born at 11:50am.  I was confused because DD was born at 5:53am and I had that time in my head. Too old to keep anything straight anymore...Duh.

    Sandy - that is great news about your tumor markers~

    This is a co-ed gender neutral baby shower. There is only one game, a Formula 1 race with the stroller.  I forgot about prizes, so thank you!!!!  Will get on that tomorrow.

    Food is lots of appetizers - seared beef on crostini, bruschetta with goat cheese and figs, fried mac and cheese balls (DS request), caramelized onion flatbread, fruit salad, caprese salad, two kinds of skewers - one beef, one shrimp and then lemon squares.  They requested mojito's, so that is what they are getting along with lemonade and ice tea.  We have a bet she leaves here without saying thank you to us.

    Ok, off to think about prizes!!!
